Hoodoo Medicine is African American natural healing. Its roots go back centuries to the first enslaved Africans who brought knowledge of healing plants with them and learned more from the American Indians and European settlers they lived among.
Elders from Gullah (also called the Gullah Geechee) communities of the South Carolina and Georgia Low Country shared the plant knowledge in Hoodoo Medicine with me first hand. My book describes these plants and herbs in rare detail.
The Book of Secrets, Part 1, is a supernatural thriller I wrote based on the history and customs of the Low Country. The sequel is coming soon!
My latest book is the prize-winning historical memoir Emma’s Postcard Album, Black Lives in the Early Twentieth Century. It’s available from Amazon and many other booksellers.
