"Where there is a woman , there is magic - Ntozake Shange"

For week 3 of Hoodoo Heritage Month, (With her permission) let me introduce you to Mama "EYE". Originally from New Orleans, Mama "Eye" was traded to a plantation in Georgia, where she spent her entire life rebelling and fighting for black people against the system of slavery. Coming from a strong line of voodoo women, she used her gifts for healing, guidance, and empowerment. Her essence illustrated how often people confuse hoodoo for voodoo or vice versa. Using the confusion to her advantage, check out how Mama "Eye" taught me to see hoodoo as an alchemy to Never downplay my gifts or my importance. Rest in power to the powerful Griots : Stephanie "Tanqueray" Johnson, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, and D'Angelo

"Hey Hoodoo Who U, I John Henry do Hoodoo U Too"

It's week 2 of Hoodoo Heritage Month as I continue to highlight an ancestor that connects me to the practice. "With their permission" I share their stories and the greatest lessons they taught me. For today's episode, I introduce you to one of my ancestral fathers, John Henry. Born into slavery, John is a master of iron and has the heart of a leader. He single-handedly challenged the perceptions and/or stereotypes about black men, connections to their emotions, and the ability to love. Tune in to learn what this dancing, gentle giant taught me about black men who love. P.S. It's also Gullah Geechee Heritage Month and Happy Black History Month to the UK!

"Hey Hoodoo Who U, I Segici dat Who"

I'M BACK and SOUL Vibrant in full effect in a new month with new magic! Black Girl Magic, I should say, as October is a month of high spiritual energy. October is known as Hoodoo Heritage Month. Coined by Mama Rue, Hoodoos celebrate throughout the month with several events uplifting different practices. Embracing my own hoodoo heritage, each week I will highlight an ancestor that connects me to the practice. "With their permission" I share their stories and the greatest lessons they taught me. I begin by introducing you to the eldest of my ancestors, Segici (Sah -GEE- See) aka "Mama Gici". Survivor of the transatlantic slave trade and empowered by Gullah culture.

Rest In Power, Love and Peace Assata Shakur
