Hello
I'm Keeya
Neurospicy storyteller
Writer, researcher, and creator based in Atlanta. Exploring empathy, storytelling, and ethical ways of being in the modern world.
My background spans humanitarian innovation, policy, advocacy and strategic communications, shaped by over a decade with international NGOs and social ventures across Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America.
These days, my work is slower, more personal, and grounded in care for people, place, and planet.
I’m a practicing Buddhist and certified yoga teacher, drawn to how wisdom traditions, storytelling, and embodied practice help us live with more attention and compassion. I’m also guided by ecological consciousness and a reverence for the entire living world, not just the human parts.
Right now, I’m creating and stewarding Social Resonance Lab, a nonprofit studio exploring how empathy can be cultivated in the modern world. In late 2025, I’ll begin part-time studies at the University of Oxford for the MSt in Practical Ethics at the Uehiro Oxford Institute, a leading global center facilitating ethical progress through research, teaching, and real-world application.
Outside of this, I’m raising a wonderfully curious little human, Leo, and spending as much time as I can reading, cooking, practicing yoga, studying French, and traveling slowly. My husband and I also share a food & travel Instagram account, @omnommies, where we document our favorite meals, markets, and shared adventures.
Exploring empathy, storytelling, and human connection through research, creative practice, and collaboration.
2025 – 2027 (Part-time)
Studying applied ethics for real-world complexity and nuance.
Certified yoga teacher exploring mindfulness, attention, and ethical living as everyday practices.
In a world that often moves too fast, I choose slowness, care, and deep attention.
Empathy as a radical, necessary act.
The profound power of stories.
Rest, reflection, and joy as forms of quiet resistance.
The need to de-center extraction, shame, and urgency in how we live and work.
I love hearing from thoughtful humans. Feel free to reach out for collaborations, conversation, or kind curiosity.
