Rebelmancy
REB-uhl-man-see
The process of unapologetic, unwavering honoring of You as a living altar in a world that constantly says, “You are not enough.”
That’s BS. And we aren’t here for it. You’re more than enough.
About Rebelmancy
Sometimes, the solution really is F*ck It. With that...
Rebelmancy. An exploration in pleasure, self-love, and mortality accompanied by the gift of pleasure-based herbal remedies created with intentionality, love, & respect infused with Ancestral Knowledge for the modern age, sprinkled with Badassery, and a dash of audacity.
About the Rebelmancy logo:
The butcher knives are an homage to my maternal Grandmother, Mocille Roberts Chisholm. She was a nurse and peace maker known to carry 2 butcher knives in her bra and hot steel in purse. She was that WOMAN, & she loved me. May she rest blissfully. The vintage aesthetic is a nod to her moonshine-making. Interesting doesn’t begin to describe her!
The flamingoes are community-oriented and mate for life. Flamingoes embody symbolism representing beauty, balance, potential, romance, truth, liberation from suffering, passion, love, creativity, transformation, empathy, and profound bonds. They also symbolize life, death, rebirth, and metamorphosis.

Our Community doesn’t play about us!
Erika worked with me to intentionally curate a product that I could include in a wellness box for the guests at a yoga event that I organized. The Nourishing Protection Oil Roller was the perfect add. Loved the packaging and the purpose.
Jessica
My tattoo was itchy and dry using another product, then I applied Rebelmancy’s shea butter blend. The itch stopped and my skin was hydrated.
Kyra
My custom Rebelmancy box was everything I needed. The bonus: my a$$ & elbows have never been this soft. Each “gift” was created with love and I felt that.
Monique
Every product I’ve gotten from Rebelmancy is top tier. From the dried herbs to tea to sister circle sessions. I love it all. They’ve helped me balance, release, and heal energies that no longer serve me.
Asha
The custom teas, ritual smoke blends, oils and shea butter are perfection. Got me out here smelling good, looking good, and feeling even better.
Jamaul
There’s nothing more badass than healing!
