Millennial Traditional Healers Moving African Spirituality Forward
As Black Africans, seeking alternative methods of healing is foundational to our rich culture â something that should never be shrouded in shame.
Traditional healers have been, and remain, a fundamental part of African spirituality and culture. Long before Western medicine, and even after its continued medical breakthroughs, many Black Africans still seek healing from those who have been afforded the gift to heal and guide. And while the faces of these healers have oftentimes, throughout the years, been those of much older men or women, more and more young people are embracing their ancestral calling.
