Who Made You Sis: In Spiritual Dialogue

By DORIANA DIAZ

Who Made You Sis is an audio archival documentation of spiritual dialogue with fellow Black creatives, griots, healers, and wellness practitioners. This 2021 series harnesses our existence in our truest forms. It is in commemoration of folklore, narrative, and language. when we surrender to our blueprint, our reimagined selves, we are closer to discovering our individual and collective god-selves in the clouds, on grass, on water, on everything. These conversations live in assurance to pass themselves forward into our collective memory.

HAPPY POETRY MONTH!

In this month's bonus episode, we are in conversation with the word warrior, Eniafe Isis Adewale, founder of All Her Words. In this episode, we discuss our origins and love affair with writing. We speak about Toni Morrison, and The Pieces I Am and the ways in which her writing, her words, her remarkable existence shed light on our own journeys on the page. We delve into an exploration of what lead us to begin our writing practices, how they have evolved over time, and grown through our own understandings of self. Eniafe reminds us how we must be intentional about saving some magik for ourselves. 

Check our most recent collaboration with All Her Words. A Room Of Our Own: a collection of works from 30 women and men of color, writers, and poets. The writings included investigating the silk and sweat of our immortal memories of home. This is where our spirits meet; a cavern for us to seek shelter which allows us to better understand the levels, depths, and meaning of home. Not just the homes we are born into but the homes we birth/find/sometimes destroy. A Room Of Our Own is currently on view here.

Bonus | Thic Love: In Spiritual Dialogue with Priscilla Agyeman & Sabrina Abdalla

Felíz Día Del Amor! I hope this episode offers you some love, visibility, voice, and support. Make sure to pour into yourself and those in your village today and every day. In this episode, we are in dialogue with Priscilla Agyeman, founder of Saddie Baddies, and Sabrina Abdalla, founder of The Cirri. In this conversation, we touch on what it is to incorporate a love ethic into our daily practice, how sisterhood between Black women is an inherent love language, taking on the role of mothering in our past relationships, and enacting the assurance of love remaining at the root of all things. Both women remind us of the crucial nature to be a witness, to pour delicately into our village of Black women with abundance and intention. Their wisdom tells us that sisterhood is the reflection of one another's souls, it is not only a sacred sanctuary but it is also a spiritual divinity that must be honored, uplifted, and celebrated through every operating vessel.  

 "Love is or it ain't. Thin love ain't love at all" - Toni Morrison 

"Love forces, at last, this humility: you cannot love if you cannot be loved, you cannot see if you cannot be seen" - James Baldwin  

"Don't never go looking for love girl. Just wait. It'll come. Like rain fallin' from the heavens, it'll come. Just never give up on love" - Sonia Sanchez
