About the House & The Goddess Who Built It
A spiritual house for Black women healing the fear of being truly seen—remembering our humanity has always been our divinity. The Mediocre Black Woman began as a rebellion against perfection and performance. What started as a whispered permission slip has evolved into a spiritual home for Black women who long to rest, soften, unmask, and return to themselves without apology or performance.
This house carries the sacred medicine of Chiron in Leo in the fifth house in retrograde —the wound of being unseen, dimmed, or undervalued, healed through gentle self-expression, truth-telling, and the courage to let your real self be enough. Here, we heal the fear of being seen by first daring to see ourselves.
We heal, we cackle, we cry, we channel, we rest. We sit in the honesty of our becoming.
We release the “shoulds,” the striving, the exceptionalism. And we remember that what makes us human is what makes us divine.
Meet Goddess Theadora
Goddess Theadora is the creative force and spiritual guide behind this house.
A storyteller and intuitive space-holder, she blends tarot, astrology, ancestral wisdom, various spiritual tools, and lived experiences to help Black women find divinity in their humanity.
Before building this spiritual house, Goddess Theadora spent over a decade shaping transformative learning and leadership spaces inside some of the world’s most influential tech companies. Even then, her work centered humanity, culture, and authenticity — the spiritual threads she now names openly.
But there was a time she dimmed her voice, mistook compliance for peace, and hustled for worthiness. From that, she created this house.
She isn’t here as a guru on a mountaintop; she’s here as a companion — healing, laughing, crying, channeling, and resting right alongside you. Her path is her medicine, and her medicine is the invitation: Come as you are. Leave as yourself.
