"Hey Hoodoo Who U, I John Henry do Hoodoo U Too"

It's week 2 of Hoodoo Heritage Month as I continue to highlight an ancestor that connects me to the practice. "With their permission" I share their stories and the greatest lessons they taught me. For today's episode, I introduce you to one of my ancestral fathers, John Henry. Born into slavery, John is a master of iron and has the heart of a leader. He single-handedly challenged the perceptions and/or stereotypes about black men, connections to their emotions, and the ability to love. Tune in to learn what this dancing, gentle giant taught me about black men who love. P.S. It's also Gullah Geechee Heritage Month and Happy Black History Month to the UK!
