About Esi
Gabrielle Blake • Esi Love • Practitioner & Organizer
Hey! My name is Esi Love (Gabrielle "Gabby" Blake). I am a spiritual practitioner, poet, domestic violence survivor, and community activist with a thriving TikTok community of over 25,000+ followers and a dedicated sanctuary on X (Twitter).
My spiritual journey began in 2019, and I started sharing my gifts through readings in 2020. Hoodoo & Vodou are the foundational roots of my practice, and I have cultivated an incredibly strong bond with the Ancestors and the Dead. When it comes to my readings, I primarily work with cartomancy (playing cards) and oracle decks to deliver honest, transformative, and deeply grounded messages.
Activism, Movement Leadership & Press
My organizing roots started back in Howland & the Mahoning Valley, Ohio in 2017, marching in the Nonviolence Rallies and organizing youth initiatives to stand up against systemic injustice.
Transitioning to Kent State University, I served as both President and Director of Political Affairs & Grievances for Black United Students (BUS), leading the campus through historic demonstrations, campus safety advocacy, and student power reckonings.
✊🏾 Black Liberation & Kent State Protests
Mobilized on the frontlines of the 2020 George Floyd uprisings and led the historic Kent State Rock protests against racist campus vandalism to demand systemic accountability and protection for Black students.
🇵🇸 Free Palestine & Global Solidarity
Active grassroots organizing for Palestinian human rights, self-determination, an immediate permanent ceasefire, and intersectional anti-imperialist solidarity.
Frontline Direct Action☕ Starbucks Anti-Union & Boycott Leader
Nationally featured in The Associated Press for spearheading consumer boycotts against Starbucks following their union retaliation over Palestinian solidarity.
⚖️ Bodily Autonomy & Roe v. Wade
Mobilized in mass regional and state demonstrations defending reproductive freedom, bodily sovereignty, and accessible healthcare.
Reproductive Justice MobilizationSurvivor Advocacy & Legal Track
As a domestic abuse survivor studying paralegal studies on the direct path to law school, I weave lived experience with legal strategy—educating our communities on relationship boundaries, breaking trauma cycles, and fighting for survivor protection and systemic justice.
Economic Sovereignty & Marketing Strategy
Many people ask how freelance marketing fits into a spiritual sanctuary. My answer is simple: true healing requires economic sovereignty. Too often, grassroots activists, holistic healers, artists, and ethical small businesses are locked out of high-level digital strategy due to astronomical agency fees. Through Esi Creations, I provide trauma-informed branding, narrative storytelling, and accessible social media growth so our community can thrive independently.
