African Spirituality + Religion in Black America

In this episode, we’re discussing the uprise of african spirituality in black america and reflecting on christianity and its notorious link to white supremacy. I also touch on my childhood affinities, what led me into spirituality and my upbringing in a christian household. In this episode, I encourage you to ask yourself, how did your religious upbringing affect your values, belief system and perception? Were they positive or negative? Did you view african spirituality + native tradition as evil, wrong, or a source of malediction? Why? What was the purpose in stripping our native practice and replacing it with compliance and fear? Furthermore, I will share an affirmation to attract ease and flow in this podcast episode and I look forward to hearing from your thoughts, opinions and personal stories on my social platform! Subscribe and Follow @theesacredidentity on Instagram for updates on the show! 🎙️ [00:47] what inspired this episode! [01:39] affirmation of ease and flow [02:09] traditional religion + spirituality [04:11] keturah’s religious background + experience [06:19] christianity to spirituality in black america [12:59] white supremacy and christianity’s indoctrinations of black identity [20:01] childhood affinities reflect our current livelihoods [23:31] the link between astrology and christianity [27:07] the difference between religion and native spirituality [31:20] how christian beliefs continue to subjugate black people Gems! 💎 White supremacy and colonization used Christianity as a tool to ensure black people remained obsequious. If we reflect on our childhood, you may discover that the natural abilities + talents you shared can reflect who you are today. What happens in the physical world can mimic what occurs in the spiritual world. This refers to the astrological idea that the planetary shifts may have influenced what happened in Christian stories and belief.

Is it Really Imposter Syndrome? + Show Updates

Thee Sacred Identity Podcast is back with updates, life lessons, my 23rd birthday, college life and my thoughts about Impostor Syndrome! In this podcast episode, I dive deeper into this social phenomenon. I talk about black women and their experiences with Impostor Syndrome and reflect on why we feel fraudulent in commonly white spaces. The effects of social exclusion in schools, work spaces and society can cause black folks to doubt their abilities and minimize our desires to what we are familiar with. For those struggling with perfectionism, I offer wisdom on being present, trusting the flow and affirming your gifts! Follow @theesacredidenity on Instagram for updates on the show! 🎙✨ During this episode, you will learn about: [1:00] New Profound Changes [2:54] Updates + Life lessons [7:30] Brief Intro to Impostor Syndrome + Black Women [8:54] Experiencing Impostor Syndrome [9:38] Black Feminist Symposium [11:04] Our Influence as a Black Community [14:48] A Space to Grow (and Challenge Ourselves) [18:55] Definition of Imposter Syndrome [21:54] Effects of Impostor Syndrome on Black Women [23:00] Keturah’s Opinion on Impostor Syndrome [25:11] Be Present, Trust the Flow [25:49] A Message for Black College Students [27:24] The Real Reason Why Black Folks Experience Impostor Syndrome [27:53] The Importance of Affirmations Gems! 💎 1. Black women can experience Impostor Syndrome due to the under-representation of black role models. Black representation contributes to a positive self-concept and belief in success. 2. Colloquial spaces for marginalized groups facilitate intellectual stimulation. Instead of adopting the 'educator' role, these discussions challenge our perspectives and hold us accountable. Black women could  benefit from learning in a similar group. 3. Affirmations are a method of subconscious reprogramming and are effective for self-worth. When we affirm our strengths, we instill trust in our abilities to succeed. As we manifest our desires, we must have confidence that we are supposed to be in that space! You have to walk with the belief that you deserve to be there!
