Coming from the lineage of lovers who dissolved into the Divine, Basirah Raheem moves as both cloud and current drifting, pouring, returning. Her work is not performance, but remembrance. Not instruction, but a gentle rainfall back to the soul.

 

A visionary poet, Life Force Energy Coach, and  CFO OPPYMCO, Basirah creates at the intersection of Sufism, Embodied Healing, and Artistic Expression. Her signature framework, The Dissolving Method, is a living tide guiding individuals to release what has hardened, to soften into their own waters, and to remember themselves beyond form.

 

Experienced in Hip Hop Arts and Culture,, and Seeking Sacred Knowledge , she draws from her work as a Certified Llife Coach, Naturopathic Practitioner, and Birth Doula to help others “birth” thier most authentic selves like rain from unseen clouds. Through poetry, meditative writing, sound, and energy work, she teaches that words are water capable of nourishing, cleansing, and restoring the life force when spoken with truth & authenticity.

 

Her spaces, global soul retreats, writers' salons, and The Dissolving in Love Experience are sanctuaries of flow. Here, the inner child is not silenced, but allowed to ripple, to ask, to expand. Here, learning is decolonised, not rigid but fluid absorbed like rain into fertile ground. Art becomes not something to produce, but something that emerges.

 

Her acclaimed book, The Dissolving Cloud, is a sky of becoming where language gathers, breaks, and pours into meaning. Her voice has reached across platforms, including her podcast Young Black Muslimah, ranked top 20 by TheGrio, and her historic feature as the first Muslim on BET Networks’ Daily Devotionals.

 

As a  Creative & Healing Educational Consultant, she has collaborated with global institutions and brands including Adidas, Lancôme, United Nations, and Parsons School of Design, infusing learning spaces with creativity, technology, and soul-centred design.  Her role as a leader in the Black Muslim Creative Community has been highlighted in Vogue Arabia.

​

"She had career ambitions from the time she was 16 to be a creative director. "I took a liking to the aesthetic of being able to showcase art through clothing and showcase a feeling and a mood through clothing and makeup," she explains.
