Episode 1
Spirituality of the African Diaspora and an Eight Legged Trickster with Brittney
Come Brittney and me as we talk about the strength of the people of the African Diaspora and how sometimes spiders can carry leopards.
(Note: The free people of Jamaica were the "Maroons" not the Marooners and it was King Alfonso not King Frederick, sorry!)
Brittney is the creator and owner of Lightwork by Brittney. She is an empathic intuitive who was called to live her truth in 2015. After years of ignoring the calling, a multitude of life altering events led her to finally surrender to journeying her path. She decided, in 2020, to share what was gifted to her by the Divine. What first started as making smudge bundles for herself, family and friends quickly became more as she also peeled back more layers of herself. She believes that everyone has the ability to unlock their God given purpose, as everyone possesses them. With strong roots in her Caribbean/ Hispanic lineage, she has always been surrounded by all things in a spiritual sense.
