I posted the WONDERFUL NEWS of Queen Afuas joining us for the 6th Annual Black Womens Wellness Day - REGISTER TODAY! early this morning, but in a hurry before leaving for work. I have to take a moment now, however, to stress how HUGE & SIGNIFICANT this is!! Folks in the Midwest may not know Queen Afua as well as those of us from the East and West coasts. She is an ICON in the holistic health and wellness movement here in the US and abroad, and has been teaching and promoting health and healing among Black women & communities for the past 40 years. I read her book Heal Thyself as a sophomore at Hampton University--22 years ago, and it changed the way I thought about health and wellness from that time on. As a young woman, I transformed my eating habits, deepened my spiritual understanding of the interconnected nature of mind-body-spirit, connected more strongly with the roots of traditional African healing medicine and practices, and reared my Family around these practices. Though I remain a student of holistic living and wellness, Queen Afua was among one of my greatest and earliest teachers from the pages of her books. Words cannot express how overjoyed I am to have reached her by phone, share the story of BWWDAY and the Foundation with her, to learn about her own journey to wellness, and to hear her say YES, I would be happy to join you all in Madison!! Please dont miss this rare opportunity to hear from one of our greatest gems on the forefront of healing and restoring health and longevity in our communities! bwwday2014.eventbrite .
