Family, welcome to The Black Root Exchange. I want to open our first conversation with something simple, but powerful. Many of us didn’t just find this path — at some point, we felt a pull. Maybe it came through a grandmother who always knew things before they happened. Maybe there was someone in your family who “worked the root,” prayed a certain way, or kept certain traditions alive. Or maybe you weren’t raised in it at all, and rootwork, Hoodoo, or ancestral spirituality found you later in life — during a moment of crisis, healing, or awakening. There’s no right or wrong path here. So I’d love to hear from you: When did you first feel the pull of the ancestors? Was rootwork something passed down to you, or something you had to rediscover? What brought you to this space? Share what you’re comfortable sharing. Listen with respect. This is about connection, not comparison. Looking forward to building community together.

Family, I’m excited to share that community enrollment is currently open for Our Hands Our Roots: Black Hoodoo Sovereignty Course — and the official course start date is February 1st. Even though we begin on February 1st, I’m dropping supplemental videos + materials weekly starting now, so don’t be afraid to get a head start. If you like to move early, take notes, and ease into the rhythm before the full lessons begin, this is your moment. What you can do right now: - ✅ Join the community and introduce yourself (use a first name or alias if you prefer) - ✅ Review the course boundaries (privacy, consent, cultural respect) - ✅ Start watching the weekly drops and gathering your notes - ✅ Get comfortable in the space before Week 1 kicks off This is a Black-only learning container rooted in reverence, safety, and sovereignty. No pressure to share personal family business—just the chance to learn, remember, and build together. If you’ve been feeling the pull, consider this your invitation. 🖤 Enrollment is live.📅 Course begins February 1st.🌿 Weekly materials start dropping now. Drop a “🖤” in the comments if you’re joining, and I’ll see you inside.
