Fun fact: Did you know that "WalkGood" is a Jamaican expression used to wish a person the very best in their endeavors and to travel with good spirits, peace, love, and affection towards others? Founder of WalkGood LA, Etienne Maurice, used to be told by his late grandmother, Ivy Ralph, to "WalkGood" every time he left their family home in Jamaica. WalkGood LA is a family-led community wellness 501(c)(3) organization based in Los Angeles that provides  equitable healing spaces for underrepresented communities. Recognizing the need for community healing after the racial strife suffered by Black & Brown bodies in 2020 as well as the desire to address so many people’s constant experience of feeling “othered”, WalkGood began providing an  inclusive space of healing through community yoga, healing circles, hikes, a run/walk club, & other activations throughout LA & beyond. What began as a weekly peaceful protest inJune 2020 has now become a multi-faceted, feel-good, healing community with hundreds of members in attendance weekly. In February 2024, WalkGood also opened a creative wellness studio, The WalkGood Yard, in Mid-City Los Angeles. The studio is now hosting everything from yoga classes and step aerobics to workshops and other creative events. The studio is also open to rentals.
