What do you hope for? May your hopes reach God just like our ancestors' hopes did. Through folklore and protective rituals using High John the Conqueror root, our ancestors called upon the “hopebringer.” And his legacy still informs our hope today.

No obstacle can defeat us. Our ancestors overcame so much for us, and we can do the same for future generations. If you’re struggling to keep the faith, think of Ra, the Egyptian Sun God and his nightly battle just to rise the next morning.

This traditional Afro-Diasporic practice will read you…in a good way. After learning about this ancestral practice we’ll all be itching to reach for our sacred books to find the hidden messages this practice reveals to us.

God loves us and our Blackness. When we accept our Blackness as a gift, powerful things happen, and we can answer this critical call of love.

Have you ever felt left out, ignored, or alone in a space full of people? How does it feel in your spirit when you are connected, included, and seen? Those two experiences remind us that our spiritual well-being goes far beyond self-care.

We are all deeply connected with our ancestors, even if we don’t know exactly who they are. But just imagine if we could draw on their wisdom anytime we needed it? This community is here to show us how to do just that.

You're more powerful than you think. You already possess the tools you need to stand up to negativity. Just look at David. He defeated one of the biggest bullies in the Bible.

“Justice” can feel complicated for us. Sometimes, given all the negative things we see in the world, we might wonder if it’s even possible. But we do deserve justice. And we deserve to define exactly what justice is for ourselves.

Eclipses are a time for transformation, releasing our egos, and leaning into abundance. Our egos can actually block our blessings. Ain’t nobody got time for that! We can eclipse our egos and call in abundance.

We’ve all got a little Black magic in us. His spiritual legacy might be wild, but it reminds us that Black magic helps us see through the illusion of anti-Blackness. Can’t fool us with smoke and mirrors.

Do you know the spiritual significance of black eyed peas? A staple in so many of our cultural dishes, black eyed peas make a dish sing. But they also reminded generations of those before us to raise our voices in joy and in the pursuit of liberation.

God wants us to win. God wants YOU to win. If you’re finding yourself feeling stuck about making a decision, just remember that God is rooting for you and you can always turn to God for advice. Ask yourself, what would Jesus do?

We deserve everything good under the sun, and God wants it that way for us. For too long, the mainstream has worked to demonize our spirituality with these three myths, and it's time to let them go.

Like many Black women, Hagar was mistreated and misunderstood. But God had a special relationship with her. He wanted her to be the mother of an entire nation. Hagar’s story reminds us that sometimes we must give up short-term gratification to learn God’s plan for us.

We deserve a liberated future. Getting there requires hope that turns our prayers into direct actions that help build a better world for our people. Here’s how we get there.

Trying to live a good life can be hard sometimes, especially when it comes to dealing with racism and discrimination. Just seeing injustice can harm us. So what can we do when we get tired of it all?

Has anyone ever encouraged you just when you needed it? Have you ever tried to give someone what they needed to feel better? We know that iron sharpens iron. We live God's will for our people when we lean on, uplift, and encourage one another. And it’s the most beautiful holy work.

Symbols hold power. What symbols do you feel empowered by? Symbolism is a huge part of this Afro-diasporic spirituality. Symbols are how they talk to God. Which symbols help you feel closer to God?

We’ve all heard the stories of corrupt faith leaders who abused their leadership in some way. Unfortunately, these stories make us wary of seeking out faith leaders or spiritual communities entirely. 1 Timothy 3 reminds us how to determine good faith leaders from the phony ones.

God’s glory lives inside of you. You are incredibly gifted and have the power to change the world. But don’t get lost in the myth that pushes the idea you’re in competition with others. Here’s how we can use God’s glory to sustain ourselves and stay in the spotlight.

Have you ever received a message from Spirit in your dreams? Sometimes these dreams feel fuzzy but at other times they stick in our hearts and minds. The message this leader received was crystal clear: revolution.

We are all deserving of receiving love, but how do we show up with love for each other? For our communities?

In life we will all experience suffering. There is no getting around it. But especially during times of suffering, Spirit is there to comfort us. How can we lean on Spirit during times of suffering?

Sometimes it can feel like the wrong things thrive while those good things we try hard to make happen struggle. The same is true for our liberation. God is championing us, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be times when our faith is tested. And here we can look to our ancestors for guidance.

Your body is worthy of celebration. Throughout history, the world has tried to convince us that Black bodies aren't lovable, but that's never been true. Here's how we cultivate a positive body image.
