ABOUT

Hi! Welcome to my page. If you're here, you've likely already encountered me in some capacity whether it be in person, through a mutual friend, The Afterwords Show or some other means of networking. You probably already know a little bit about me, but here's some more:

​​

My name is Amiyah King and I am a proud Buffalo, NY native, and alumna of Howard University. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, Communications, Film and Political Science in 2019 and a Master’s in Public Administration & Nonprofit Management from Buffalo State University in 2021. A year later, in 2022, I served as the 2022 Miss Buffalo, byway of the Miss America Organization. I am certified in facilitating trauma-informed care, life coaching, mindfulness, and meditation practice. In 2020, I started my own non-profit organization called OYÉ, offering trauma-informed, holistic services including yoga, meditation and group healing sessions for youth and adults. This experience came shortly after losing my father, which catapulted my healing and spiritual journey. I understand rebuilding after loss and am here to help those in need of seeing a way out at one of the most difficult times in their lives. 

 

I am deeply rooted in values relating to culture, spirituality and restoration. I am informed traveler and researcher, studying themes of mindfulness, cultural competence, trauma-informed care, and community restoration in in places such as Washington, DC, St. Louis, Missouri, Belle Glade, Florida and Accra, Ghana. I believe in the transformative powers of land healing and addressing past traumas for future success. That is why I take special pleasure in helping others craft their goals, shape their personal narrative and tell their stories.
