Hey, Goddesses!!! I’ve missed you. But I’m back and more magical than ever. We’re all waist-deep in this shift, in this unveiling. It’s uncomfortable and messy, but it’s real. And while anxiety is running rampant, I’ve found that knowing my ancestors are surrounding me, guiding me, and supporting me makes me feel secure, as does wielding my own magic.

Many black women have arrived at a place where we’re open to discovering the magic our ancestors possessed before their enslavement and brainwashing. We’re returning to Africa, exploring spirituality outside of Christianity, eating healthy, hiring doulas, decolonizing all the foolishness of this world. We’re leaning into that feminine magic we already possess. The following books will assist you in harnessing and directing your power.
