Episode 9: My Journey to Hoodoo, Part 2 + Tips for Surviving Spiritual Abuse

In this episode, I describe how I found Hoodoo and realize I've been Hoodoo all along. I also answer two very important listener questions:

  • How are we supposed to cope with COVID?

  • How do you learn to trust again when you've been burned by the spiritual community?

Episode 8: My Religious Journey to Hoodoo, Part 1

In this latest episode of Soul. Purpose. Sisterhood. I share part 1 of my religious journey back to Hoodoo. I start with growing up in the Black CME church to following the “winks” about my spiritual gifts and ritual. Even though I hadn’t always called myself Hoodoo, I realize that I ain’t new to this as Hoodoo IS Black culture.

Chime in below: What has been your religious journey?

Episode 7: The Black Church Documentary Reaction: Still Relevant?

In this latest episode of Soul. Purpose. Sisterhood. I dive into the new PBS documentary, The Black Church, by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. I discuss how African Traditional Religion and Hoodoo are central to Black people's spirituality, and I wonder if the Black Church is still relevant to our liberation. Happy Black History Month, shout out to new subscribers, and BIG shout out to those of us surviving this Texas Snowstorm 2021!

Chime in below: Is the Black Church still relevant to the collective liberation of Black People?
