She uses these ethnic and cultural connections to inform and curate the Equitable Mindfulness Framework, which is meant to support mindfulness practice and conversations across social differences. Featured on NPR (National Public Radio) as an expert in mindfulness and social justice, Tiara is also a certified Koru Mindfulness Instructor with a 20-year personal practice of mindfulness and meditation.

Academically, Tiara has been granted scholarships, grants, and awards for her work with mindfulness in the student-athlete population, mindfulness, equity/social justice, and creating transformative art with a foundation of mindful practice. For the last 5 years, she has been invited internationally to present on her research involving mindfulness and overlooked populations and utilizing community for life transitions.

Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start. Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resource to guide beginners?

Yup, rebrand Indian dhyana/ meditation as "mindfulness" and then tell the world its a Christian technique/western invention. 😂😂😂😂

Is everything now about race and gender? Because this isn't working for me. I've got to focus on things that are more productive.

I am mindfully living in the moment…. wishing I had the last 14 minutes of my life back

Our large cities are trashed. Enough of liberal race bating mindfulness. God help the people you tutored.
