Rising Stars: Meet Kilo Sade

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kilo Sade.

Hi Kilo, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My Healing Journey began February 2, 2014. The day that I found out that my Mama, Brenda E. Anderson only 49, had been murdered the prior day before.

I had prepared my life, every day of my life from the day I realized that my Mom, wasn’t like other Mom’s due to her illness. She was diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anemia at the age of 3 years old. She was told as a young adolescent that she wouldn’t live to see 21 years old and that she would never have children. She had two and she lived to be 49 years old.

2014 was a year of autopilot. I had found out the week prior to my Mom dying that I was pregnant with my 3rd son. So, after she died I couldn’t afford to really grieve or process it all. I pressed forward even in the midst of dealing with things in my own personal life.

I dived into work. A friend during that time gifted me with a rose quartz and my love for healing crystals sprouted. The stone gave me a sense of peace that I hadn’t felt for some time. I had a little crystal cage pendant and I literally wore it on my neck every day like a lifeline.

By 2019 however, darkness in my personal life, the ending of the trial of the guy who killed my Mom, and 4 kids later. Depression kicked in heavily and I went into a very dark period of my life. My marriage ended, I moved out with my 4 kids on my own and for the first time in a long time finally felt a sense of peace and serenity.

I’ve always been an avid writer and for some reason, so many people always found inspiration from long Facebook post. People would inbox me and let me know how inspiring I was to them and how my testimony’s and strength has helped motivated them along their own journey.

Another friend of mine told me that I really should look into blogging. And I let it go in one ear and out the other. Who would want to read what I have to write about? I thought to myself. Absolutely no one. Boy, was I wrong.

It was like breadcrumbs of synchronicities. I got gifted a rose quartz, my mom and I used to make and remix jewelry and outfits. So I self taught myself how to wire wrap crystals. I had a part time job at a local Beauty Supply store and Customers would always admire my hair or my jewelry. I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist since 2011.

“You should sell your rice water and jewelry.” one lady told me. I am so big on making natural hair products and skincare. And would always give customer recipes on things they could make right in their kitchen instead of purchasing unhealthy products from the store. Lol.

I let the part time gig go and freed up some time and said to myself you know what. People are Still inboxing me. Asking me for advice, asking me for card readings, asking me on tutorials about rice water, asking me to make jewelry. Why not bet on myself and launch a site?

So, March of 2020, I started my blog. HeyKilo.org was launched initially only as a blog. I just wanted to write and inspire others with my stories. Little did I know that by doing this would allow me to heal not only from the death of my Mom but from so many other traumatic events in my life as well as bring me to my life’s purpose as a Healer.

Slowly Hey Kilo Cares was formed. It’s a healing journey. My journey into finding and living within my authenticity and being rooted there. Everything that I do is intentional.

Absolutely everything that I do is intentional. I believe that we have absolutely everything within us to create a life of peace, serenity, and abundance in every facet of our lives.

My goal is to help folks find and restore balance within themselves through healing products, words, and herbs.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Healing is a never ending journey. You will have high moments and lows.

I have become distant from a lot of folks that I love on my journey but the one thing I’ve learned while going through this is to not take it personally. Everyone is on their own path and none of us are better than the other.

Everyone is going through things. I’ve learned to practice grace and gratitude. Everything is as it should be and anything truly meant to be will always find a way back to you.

There are no losses in life, just lessons. I’ve learned something about people as well as myself throughout it all that has helped me identify patterns and behaviors within myself that needed to be let go.

In the spiritual community, we call facing deep traumatic things within you as doing “shadow work.”

It’s basically like self inner therapy. Going through the triggers of trauma and unlearning toxic habits and characteristics that we have adapted to just to “survive.” It gets pretty dark and deep but once faced, you feel 100 times freer and lighter.

It’s a beautiful struggle.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am Intentional Wellness Enthusiast and creator. I make naturopathic medicine from teas, tinctures, handmade healing jewelry, and beauty products.

I also have a blog where I aspire to inspire others with my life’s work and journey.

On my, Hey Kilo Cares youtube channel I use the power of Intuition through Tarot to provide daily card of the day inspiration.

I’m all things healing.

In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
I get chills when I see all the growth in the Spiritual Community arising. People are healing within and finding peace. It’s truly the age of Aquarius. There are more free thinkers and healers emerging and going back to the ways of our Ancestors. Healing through herbal medicine and remedies that have been long ago forgotten.

I’m seeing healers every day on my timeline share stories of folks following their advice and mentorship and healing themselves of diseases and mental illness. It’s beautiful to witness.

And this is in the midst of a pandemic. People are relying on themselves and having faith in the Earth to heal them. I see this not only being beneficial to Humanity but also to Mother Nature. More folks are being conscientious of the roles they play on keeping our Earth clean and healthy. People are learning how to grow their own food. They are recycling, creating compost piles. Like I see things resetting and truly going completely organic.
