My name is Thema Bradford aka Bless Roxwell because I spent over 20 years on stage as a rapper, poet, performer, producer…basically wearing all the creative hats. And so, since many folks still know me as Bless, I answer to both names..lol.

However, these days my energies have been redirected. I’m a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), a Reiki Adept and Practitioner, and a Mindset Coach. I’ve been doing healing work for over a decade and I run a small private practice in Brooklyn where I primarily support Black and Brown folks, especially Black women, and especially Black and Brown women with later-in-life ADHD or autism diagnoses. As someone diagnosed as AuDHD, that is a journey I’m particularly familiar with.

I created this offering, How to Radically Soften: A Liberation Practice, out of my own experiences of surviving, healing, and subsequently softening in this world as a Black woman. My hope is that this guide can serve you as a roadmap…to a softer you, and ultimately a softer world for us all.
