The Healing Power of African-American Spirituality

Traditional African Spirituality in itself is inherently rebellious--- a delicious roux, an okra gumbo for the beautiful black soul. Stephanie Rose Bird's emotionally liberating text champions the syncretism of diasporic healing motifs while enhancing the potency of eclectic African- centered folklore. As you travel the pages of this book you will begin to conjure change in your own life by any herb/bath/ root or oil at your disposal. You will triumphantly follow the cowrie shells back to the crossroads lined with deities happy to be both nappy and above all sun kissed. --Mawiyah Kai EL-Jamah Bomani, author of the plays Spring Chickens and Crows Feet The Healing Power of African American Spirituality by the illustrious Stephanie Rose Bird is a timely and much needed inclusive contribution to humanity's spiritual awakening and evolution at this time.
