The Audacity To Be Wicked

When Black women are healers it’s not only seen as illegitimate but “wicked.” With the rise of social media and “Insta-doctors” sharing information such as herbs, and other medicinal tools, has become rampant. Therefore we re-enter an age where empowered women of color are questioned and feared. This has happened before. In 1962 Tituba Indian, a slave of west Indian descent was accused of witchcraft and set off the Salem witch trials. How does the woo’woo witch hunt affect modern herbalists creating businesses that aim to heal? Italy Bianca, is a self proclaimed medicine “wombman” who through positivity and light aims to help women reach physical and spiritual healing. Join Asiah (@issaraeof_ny), & Amber (@Not_therealamberworsley ) as we unpack modern alternative healing and the history that stigmatizes this work.
