Authenticity of Recovery

Founder & CEO: Aza A. Shukura

Our mission is to unlock your power to stand freely in your authenticity through all forms of needed self-discovery. We strive to boldly reject the ideology that people will forever carry the labels of mental health and substance use challenges through evolving and raising the bar by taking revolutionary action, to go from long term recovery to reinventing oneself into a completely new way of Being.

We hold the power to decide the outcome of our destiny by changing the narrative of our own lives and the trajectory by which we become our future selves.

*Note from Sage Nestler, MSW: Aza and I are both part of the advocacy committee within the National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality Disorder. She is very passionate about recovery and advocates against abuse in recovery communities. We have talked extensively about our experiences, and she is an incredibly safe and understanding human being.

If you have experienced abuse in a recovery community, Aza is working on legislation to bring light to this incredibly harmful problem.
