Publisher's Synopsis
A powerful guide to healing from trauma and cultivating a positive relationship with spirituality for People of African Descent, exploring the Divine, the Feminine, and the Melanin.
A call to People of African Descent to heal historical trauma, honor their Ancestors, reclaim their cultural heritage, and reconnect with their spiritual roots and practices.
Globally, humanity has been experiencing a massive shift in consciousness. Many people are restless, looking for ways to live more authentically and embrace our innate spirituality. Psychotherapist Yema Njolela reflects that for people of African descent, this is manifesting as a desire to return to our historical, cultural, and spiritual roots. This is a time for the collective healing of African people.
This powerful book explores the fear and rejection of African spirituality as a specific form of trauma and reveals why and how this must be healed. Alongside this, Yema focuses on helping people of African descent to heal from the collective historical trauma linked to the slave trade and discrimination throughout history.
Reclaiming the African Goddess will guide you through the process of healing through the frame of three elements that have historically been suppressed through colonization: the Divine, the Feminine, and the Melanin. Covering aspects such as spirituality, beauty and hair, and sexuality, Yema delves into what it means to be a Person of African Descent who is rekindling their relationship with the Divine.
Yema invites you to embrace African spirituality and embark on your own journey of healing, self-discovery, and harmony.
