Astrologer, Channel and Coach
Jessica Thomas
I'm Jessica, with a lifelong fascination for the mysteries of the universe and the human experience. For many years, I navigated the corporate world as a sales professional, but in 2021 I experienced a profound awakening that shifted my perspective and purpose. I left behind the familiar to embark on a journey of spiritual exploration and service, dedicating myself to the study and practice of astrology and energy work.
​
As a spiritual seeker and astrologer, I'm humbled by the privilege of guiding others on their own paths to self-discovery and fulfillment. My approach is rooted in compassion, empathy, and a deep understanding of the complexities of human nature. I believe that every individual holds within them the power to manifest their dreams and become the most vibrant, authentic version of themselves.
​
My mission is to to serve, educate, and encourage you by assisting you with the discovery and pursuit of your passions in a way that honors your purpose and your own vision for success, while amplifying who you are personally and advancing you professionally.

She is also the founder of Responsible Media Group, an initiative dedicated to media accountability and justice-centered storytelling.
​
Grounded in the GRACE framework—Gender, Race, Ability, Culture, Class, and Ethnicity—her work bridges theory and lived experience to cultivate self-awareness, critical consciousness, and inclusivity in classrooms, communities, and organizations.
​
With a background in media literacy, racial justice, and educational equity, she equips educators, creatives, and facilitators with the tools to name bias, interrupt harmful narratives, and center marginalized voices. Whether guiding parties through difficult conversations or leading workshops on the psychological impact of media representation, her approach is trauma-informed, identity-conscious, and unapologetically rooted in justice.
​
As a light-skinned Black American woman, she honors the complexities of positionality and privilege and invites collective reflection on our roles within systems of power. Her facilitation blends accountability with compassion—always centering the full humanity of those most impacted by structural harm.

Kellie Shaw
A proud Black woman from Portland, Oregon, I have spent over 15 years committed to advancing racial and social justice in my community and beyond. As founder and co-director of The Poetic Justice Foundation, I lead transformative community empowerment initiatives rooted in equity, education, and healing. My work centers on helping individuals and organizations uncover their authentic voices and stand boldly against bias, racism, and systemic injustice.
An experienced facilitator, trainer, coach, and advocate, I specialize in designing and leading racial equity workshops for educators, youth, nonprofits, and public and private organizations. I bring a deep commitment to grassroots movements and have served on and led multiple nonprofit boards supporting historically marginalized communities.
Since 2011, I have worked as a life and executive coach, guiding individuals in building anti-racist practices, unlocking their potential, and viewing the world through a more equitable lens. Whether in boardrooms or classrooms, I challenge others—and myself—to do the necessary work of justice, compassion, and lasting change.
