About Trinity
TRINITY VILLANUEVA
Liway Akua
Trinity Villanueva moves through life with an abiding belief in the interconnectedness of all things—like arroz con pollo, never meant to be separated. She is the founder of Diwa Soul, an umbrella LLC encompassing the Diwa Soul Sessions podcast, Trin’s Music Center, the Sanctuaries Music Project, and Kapwa Koven, her coaching containers for healers. In 2021, she answered a profound calling to train as a Babaylan (Filipina shaman) and continues her studies with the Ho'aka Mana Hālau in Moloka'i, Hawaii, alongside her ongoing work as a musician and educator in Polynesia.
A multi-ethnic Latina with Taína, Hawaiian, and Visayan roots, Trinity weaves indigenous and Western holistic practices to craft sensory-based, transformative experiences. Through sound, ritual, and creativity, she creates sacred spaces for individuals to reconnect with their authentic selves at a soul-deep level, addressing the disconnection often felt in today’s world.
Her professional journey is as dynamic as it is impactful, spanning Broadway performances, Ivy League studies, and leadership roles including Vice President, Executive Director, and Managing Partner. Trinity serves on influential boards such as the National Art Education Association, Anti-Racist Art Teachers, and Arts Administrators of Color. She has guided leaders from Paramount Writers Rooms to Google and founded initiatives that uplift trans and queer BIPOC immigrants.
As she expands her ventures and completes her MBA through OneDay, Trinity remains dedicated to co-creating a powerful and inclusive ecosystem centered on healing, empowerment, and connection. Her work is deeply rooted in leaving a lasting legacy for her son, Kai, and fostering a world that honors interconnectedness and collective well-being.
