About this episode
The episode discusses the complexities of working with white ancestors, the Black healing tradition of Vick's Vaporub, and highlights the Caribbean island of Bonaire.
Let’s really talk about the complexities of venerating and working with “white ancestors” and which people need to be prioritizing it before US. We get into the Black healing tradition of Vick’s Vaporub and how it was actually stolen from a Black woman, and why we should all be paying attention to the Caribbean island of Bonaire, right now.
