Celebrating Danicka Brown-Frazier: The Catalyst for Change in Wellness

Meet Danicka Brown-Frazier, an inspiring figure in our local community and the wellness industry. Known for her unique approach to corporate wellness, Danicka is the founder of Alkemi, a company dedicated to bridging ancient herbal traditions with modern wellness needs. Her mission is clear: to foster authentic connections and promote healing through cultural exchange. Over a decade ago, Danicka opened The Juice Studio in Chicago, creating a space where health and community coexisted. She understands that wellness encompasses more than just physical health—it’s about building generational wealth and nurturing authentic relationships. Her journey into the wellness sector was sparked by observing her mother, a dedicated nurse, and witnessing the transformative power of community service through organizations like Help One Save One. When Danicka relocated to San Diego, she identified a significant gap in the wellness industry—many contemporary practices overlooked the richness of ancient healing traditions. With her Yoruba heritage guiding her, she founded Alkemi, which aims to connect diverse cultural practices with corporate wellness initiatives. Her philosophy emphasizes collaboration over competition, believing that when businesses work together, they amplify each other’s reach and impact. Danicka’s skills in project management, relationship building, and cultural fluency have helped her create meaningful corporate partnerships and community initiatives. She fosters environments where diverse perspectives unite, generating innovative solutions that benefit everyone involved. Danicka is also dedicated to mentoring emerging entrepreneurs, empowering the next generation to follow their dreams with authenticity and integrity. What Danicka loves most about her work is witnessing transformative moments when individuals reconnect with their authentic selves. She takes joy in facilitating experiences where people can discover the calming effects of herbal traditions, especially in high-stress corporate settings. By bridging the gap between tradition and modern needs, Danicka makes wellness accessible to all. Her journey hasn’t been without challenges. As a Black woman entrepreneur in the wellness space, Danicka has faced unique obstacles, from creating her own opportunities to overcoming imposter syndrome. Nevertheless, she continues to thrive, reminding others that success is rooted in resilience, empathy, and authenticity. Danicka emphasizes the importance of community, stating, “If you want to go far, go together.” This perspective drives her approach to wellness and education; she encourages young people to start with curiosity, building real connections before seeking personal gain. “True expertise comes from both study and lived experience,” she says, inspiring a sense of purpose within our younger generations. As she builds her legacy, Danicka hopes to inspire healthy lives where individuals can heal their traumas and reconnect with their roots. Her dream is for businesses to honor cultural authenticity while embracing innovation, demonstrating that change can be achieved by valuing diverse traditions. As you navigate your own path, remember Danicka’s words: “Define success on your own terms.” With her commitment to community and wellness, Danicka Brown-Frazier is not just a leader; she is a beacon of hope and change in our community.

Why Did You Start My Black City?

A MESSAGE FROM BRANDON BORNES (FOUNDER OF MY BLACK CITY)

We often worry that we don’t have enough resources in our community to go around. When we see someone in our community doing what we do but better, we get a little nervous or intimidated. Instead of using competition to spur on our creativity, teamwork, work ethic and innovation, we become soo overwhelmed with our own fears and insecurities that we gossip, sabotage, or hurt one another. This has happened to many exceptional people in our community. We need to do better and lead by example. Our love for each other needs to be greater than our fear of failure.

If we had to simplify into one word what My Black City is about, it would be LOVE! Because Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

When people come in contact with our brand, that’s what I want them to experience. It‘s not an easy aspiration to live up to, but we believe it‘s worth fighting for and it‘s what we need as a community.
