About Wellness: Feeding Your Soul
Feeding Your Soul (Mental Wellness and Foodie Group)
The things we feed on are what we eventually live on. This group poses the question what are you eating? Often the things we are feeding on (other people’s opinion, validation, unresolved past trauma, etc.) are the things that show up in the darkness to haunt us.
This group focusing feeding yourself with good things and collecting helpful tools to protect your mental wellness and encourage continued self-care. This is a safe space for women to come to feel supported in whatever stages they are in their mental health journey. We want to foster good habits and encourage community. And we get to do it over food, occasionally.
The group is set up as a hybrid group that meets in person every other week at different restaurants in LA. We will feed ourselves with both spiritual food and actual food. This group is perfect for self-proclaimed foodies who like to try new places and women wanting to connect with other like-minded women. As we break bread we also remember that feeding our bodies is secondary to the things we feed our minds and souls. The most important part about this group is that you come as you are in your journey as we encourage open dialogue about the different things women face in different areas of their lives.

About the Leaders
Shayla White’s hometown is Fayette, Mississippi but she currently resides in Los Angeles, CA and has been living there for just over a year.
Her journey to ONE began in April 2019 and initially she just came to visit but since attending, she felt like she could always be her authentic self when entering the building and the pastors being open about their struggles has helped her realize she does not need to hide her own.
For a living, Shayla is a lawyer at the Legal Aid Society. She has a large family from the South and loves being around her family!
If she was to describe herself as a character from a tv show, she would choose Joan from Girlfriends and this is also her favorite tv show. Her go-to karaoke song would be any Beyoncé or Whitney Houston song.
Shayla’s favorite vacation spot is the Maldives because she loves the seclusion.
Christianna Wiggins’ hometown is NYC but she has lived in LA for the past eleven years. Her journey to ONE began five years ago and she describes the environment to be loving, friendly and welcoming. It has had a major impact on her life and she walks out of service feeling lighter!

For a living, she is a TV Development Executive at a major TV network. Christina has a huge Bejan family on both sides and whilst her parents are divorced, she is close to both of them and during the holiday season, spends time with them all. She also has a two year old fur baby called Simon and built amazing relationships in LA through friends who have also become her second family.
If she was to describe herself as a character from a tv show, she would choose Molly from Insecure or Sutton from The Bold Type (minus all the romantic flings ha!) Both ladies are focused on their careers/ pursuing their passions but try their best to maintain their close friendships and familial relationships. They also enjoy traveling, trying new things and too, and aren't afraid to speak up for themselves.
Her favorite tv show is The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, as it never fails to make her laugh and her all time karaoke song is, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” By Whitney Houston.
Christianna’s favorite vacation spot is Barbados, as it is like a second home to her and allows her to relax and unplug.
