Why hava.
hava begins with the belief that Black women are already born into the deep.
The work is to be held by ourselves and each other long enough to make room for our light, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Not a performance of rest, but the real thing.
Sahavit Mosley-Chance.
“We are taught not to ask for. I believe we are built in the creator's image, and so it is in the rest that we find vision and strength for creation.”
Sahavit Mosley-Chance, founder of hava
hava was founded by Sahavit Mosley-Chance. She is a nurse and 21-year U.S. Army veteran pursuing a degree in midwifery, and served as a certified Master Resilience Trainer.
That background shapes how hava holds people: with clinical care, steadiness under pressure, and a deep respect for the body. She builds gatherings she would want to be inside of.
