Creating sacred space for Black Women to remember, reclaim and embody their truest selves in service of collective liberation.

About

Milicent is a Creatrix. Passionate about hosting the dreams and visions of Black women, she is the founding Executive Director of The Octavia Fund.

Milicent has found her calling in this work: creating sacred space for Black women to remember and embody their truest selves in service of collective liberation. Her own awakening to the power of rest, woven together with her Black lineage’s gifts of radical imagination and prophetic visioning, guide her towards the very heart of justice. Milicent knows that cultivating creativity and desire is necessary; she understands rest and dreaming as revolutionary acts.

Milicent spent nearly two decades before The Octavia Fund working towards justice through direct service, policy, advocacy, urban planning, and philanthropy. In all of her work, she is guided by a deep desire to nourish community, build bridges, heal divides, and advance equity and justice for all.

She works in service of Spirit, is guided by her ancestors, and prays that all that she does will be a blessing to the human and more than human world.
