Media Bio
Brenda Ramos is a foul-mouthed spiritual, sensual, sacred being made of light and stardust (aka an intricate system of atoms, neurons, cells, etc) having a whole-ass human experience living in wildly oppressive systems. She works at the intersection of mindfulness, spirituality, and decoloniality as a mindfulness-based mentor, life coach, meditation teacher, and movement guide. She uses the practice of mindfulness to help people see where they may be living out of integrity so they’re able to unlock their inner wisdom and create sustainable, dynamic balance throughout their life. Her approach is spirit-led, heart-centered, and liberation-focused. Her people live at the edges and in-betweens. They’re the quiet, wild ones, creatives, weirdos, and activists who are ready to transform their life (& our world) with love, compassion, and wild abandon.
The intersectional identities she currently holds are able-bodied, neurotypical, queer, cis-gendered, white-bodied, 1st-gen woman of borikua (aka Puerto Rican) heritage, mixed culture, and mixed race most deeply connected to her Taíno ancestors. As well as a mom, daughter, sister, titi, friend, lover, teacher, student, meditator, dark chocolate enthusiast, chocolate chip cookie devourer, random drooler, and goofball.
For nearly twenty years, Brenda taught hundreds of people worldwide to express their sexy side through salsa dance. Now, she helps her clients remember and reconnect to their unique purpose and rhythm in life. Her clients learn to trust and be guided by the inner wisdom they connect with through meditation, deep spiritual work, rest, and play. They become more able to appreciate the unique path that led them to this moment, create a clear picture of where they are going next, and take aligned action.
Currently, Brenda is a settler outside of Manhattan in Hoboken on land belonging to the Munsee Lenape People. She lives with one of her many brothers and they care for their 94-year-old mother together. Brenda has appeared on numerous TV shows, including Good Day NY, Pix11 Morning News, and Telemundo’s Ocurrió Así. You can catch her weekly meditations on YouTube
