Host, kreatress and mkunga (traditional black midwife) Sankofa Ra reclaims the cultural heritage of the American mkunga by connecting callings, knowledge, experiences, healers, narratives and literary authors to paint a vivid knowing, being and doing of who the mkunga was, why she is no longer a visible authority figure in the USA today, where she came from, the rituals she practiced, how she continued her legacy and when she will return from the shadows to the frontlines to heal and birth the black community locally, nationally and globally.
This is a conclusive build up of the eight legs of intelligence the Mkunga possesses that has solidified her value, importance and respect within Alkebuan and the diaspora. Blessed with a tea chat with special community guest and mkunga Simone Marshall in Georgia.
