Oshun, author of Cats, Cauldrons, and Corsets and owner of Imaginate1111.com<br><br>"Traditional African Spirituality in itself is inherently rebellious--- a delicious roux, an okra gumbo for the beautiful black soul. Stephanie Rose Bird's emotionally liberating text champions the syncretism of diasporic healing motifs while enhancing the potency of eclectic African- centered folklore. As you travel the pages of this book you will begin to conjure change in your own life by any herb/bath/ root or oil at your disposal. You will triumphantly follow the cowrie shells back to the crossroads lined with deities happy to be both nappy and above all sun kissed." --Mawiyah Kai EL-Jamah Bomani, author of the plays Spring Chickens and Crows Feet<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Stephanie Rose Bird</b> holds a BFA cum laude from the Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University, and an MFA from the University of California at San Diego.
