​​

 

You didn’t land here by accident.

Something in you is ready to slow down.
 

​

To live differently.

You can exhale here.

why she stopped

 

​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kristen Renee Ingram is a Rest Architect, theologian, and cultural strategist.

She has spent over a decade shaping culture across sports, media, and social impact.

 

​

There was exhaustion.
There was grief.
There was a disconnect she could no longer ignore.

 

​

Everything that once worked stopped working.

​

 

​

​

​

​

 

the shift

​​​​

​​​

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After completing her Master's in Justice and Advocacy and moving through personal loss,

Kristen entered a season that changed everything.

​

​​

She stopped pushing.
She started listening.

​​​​​​

 

​

Rest was not an escape.
It was the way back. 

​

 

​That moment is available to you too.

​You might be feeling it too.

​

​

That moment when pushing stops working and something quieter starts asking for your attention.

 

​

Pushing through what no longer fits.
Ignoring what your body already knows.

​

​

 

 

 

a different way of living​

 

 

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

 

 

 

From that shift, Black Girl Sabbaticals was born.

 

​

As a new way of living.

 

​​

Rest as your foundation.
Safety in your body.
Clarity in how you move.

​

 

 

 

 

​her life now

 

​

​

​

​

 

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

 

 

 

 

Kristen lives what she teaches.

​​​

​​

Her life feels safer in her body now.

​​​

​​

She no longer pushes for what she needs.
She allows herself to receive it.

​​​​

​​

Living well and resting well are not in conflict.​
