This episode was adapted for the podcast from an assignment my teacher and mentor Olatokunboh Obasi gave us to interview a spiritual elder. Olatokunboh is an herbalist and the founder of Well of Indigenous Wisdom among many other titles and lives walked and hats worn. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• the art and poetry of story telling as an Indigenous way of communicating and resonating on deeper levels
• the Indigenous wisdom of respecting the cycles of life and the relationship between ourselves and the world
• living in the duality of the westernized world and the natural world, learning how to walk between both
• honoring elders and Indigenous wisdoms through naming & educating those who wish to know
• a beautiful Yoruba parable and the Sankofa generation
• important regimens as a healer that come with time and wisdom

I really do hope you give it a listen as it's one of the most meaningful podcast episodes for me to date. If you enjoy it, please rate, subscribe and share, it really helps ya girl out to keep the pod going.
