Christina “Xtina” Jogoleff, M.A. is an Inner Healing Coach and Community Activist. She is dedicated to the quantum dismantlement of the ways in which we internalize systems of imprisonment, slavery, and colonization in order to bring a revolutionary way of being into existence.
As a white skinned Chicanx born and raised in Southeast San Diego, she was born into a family ridden with alcohol, narcotic, and physical abuse. Xtina was the first in her family of six to attend college, graduated magna cum laude from UCSC with a dual B.A. in Feminist Studies and Political Science, and earned her M.A. in Ethnic Studies at UCR. While a doctoral student, her graduate research on gendered incarceration and histories of science received two national fellowships (Ford Foundation’s Pre-Doctoral Fellowship and The National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship). Her community activism addresses recidivism and alternatives to incarceration.
While facilitating restorative healing and self-empowerment circles for formerly incarcerated women in South LA, she realized her passion for inner healing, left her doctoral program, and started her own business. As a result of working with Xtina, her clients understand their worth, remove limiting belief patterns, heal broken relationships, and courageously step into their authentic power.
Xtina currently collaborates with @prisonerFTIO_inc, a nationwide non-profit to empower those who are incarcerated, and San Diego organizations: @RISESanDiego, a leadership development program that fosters civic engagement and urban leadership, @ProjectAWAREenterprises that teaches emotional literacy to youth, and other non-profits and businesses of color.
