episode Brother Yona Glickman on Hoodoo in Sinners, PART 1 cover

Brother Yona Glickman on Hoodoo in Sinners, PART 1

We sit with Brother Yona to map Hoodoo’s true lineage, from Congolese roots to Bible Belt syncretism, and why representation in Sinners feels rare and right. The talk blends history, ethics, and lived practice with stories that carry power across generations. Follow Brother Yona on Instagram @propheticsoulguideinc [https://www.instagram.com/propheticsoulguideinc/] and visit Professor Porterfield at http://www.professorporterfield.com/ [http://www.professorporterfield.com/home.html] • Hoodoo as African American folk magic built from survival and admixture • jazz, hip hop, and gumbo analogies that explain practice and form • regionalism, family lines, and Protestant and Catholic overlay • Bible magic, Psalms, hyssop, and church syncretism • migration-era stigma and hidden-in-plain-sight practices • who gets to practice, good guest ethics, and reciprocity • media tropes versus authentic portrayal in Sinners • High John folklore, mojo bags, and documented histories including Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman  Thank you so much for joining us.
