Testimonials
I am grateful and full and open to all that 2022 has in store for me as I give into the flow being created by the telling of my story. Thank you Phyllis and Eddy for Diasporic Soul ! Because of the space you held for me, the floodgates are open. God and the Ancestors are great!
The most transformative experience of 2021 was being in Senegal.
Levita came to Senegal this summer for her Diasporic Soul Heritage and Healing Experience. Since then, she has “continued to process, reflect on, and write about [her] time here. Most rewarding have been the invitations to share [her] journey. In the past couple of months, [she has] shared from the angle of food and identity at a Jewish synagogue, from the angle of spirituality and the African Diaspora for a Black church, and most recently from the angle of memoir for the faculty of [her] school.”
