Lynsey Ayala Rinaldi is a Boricua medicine woman, teacher, and artist whose work bridges ancestral plant medicine, Afro-Indigenous spirituality, and communal healing. As the founder of Yabisi, a botanica and School of Remembrance, she creates spaces for ceremony, education, and remembrance that honor the living traditions of the African and Caribbean diasporas.

Through her teaching, writing, and medicine making, Lynsey weaves together Orisha cosmology, Curanderismo, herbalism, and ritual as pathways for reconnection—to body, land, and lineage. Her work invites others to reclaim ancestral knowledge, weaving the wisdom of the past into our everyday lives, and activating community healing that is rooted in reverence, justice, and spirit.
