Deputy Director

Brittíni "Ree Belle" Gray-Chiquillo, known in the Lukumí tradition as Ogunsalé, is an initiated priestess and healing justice practitioner with over two decades of experience holding space for Black communities navigating grief, trauma, and transformation. As Deputy Director of the Black Healers Collective, she helps steward the growing network of practitioners committed to community-rooted healing as a strategy for liberation. Her healing practice moves across ritual design and ceremony, grief tending, ancestral healing, sound healing, birth work, meditation, rest as resistance, land-based and ecological healing, and political education as healing praxis. Rooted in Afro-diasporic spiritual traditions, eco-womanism, and the living knowledge of Black freedom struggles, she holds healing not as a service to be rendered but as a way of being in right relationship with one another, with the earth, and with those who came before.
