A call to People of African Descent to heal historical trauma, honour their Ancestors, reclaim their cultural heritage and reconnect with their spiritual roots and practices. Globally, humanity has been experiencing a massive shift in consciousness. Many people are restless, looking for ways to live more authentically and embrace their innate spirituality. Psychotherapist Yema Njolela reflects that for People of African Descent, this is manifesting as a desire to return to their historical, cultural and spiritual roots. This is a time for the collective healing of African people. This powerful book explores the fear and rejection of African spirituality as a specific form of trauma and reveals why and how this must be healed. Alongside this, Yema focuses on helping People of African Descent to heal from the collective historical trauma linked to the slave trade and discrimination throughout history. Reclaiming the African Goddess explores the process of healing through the frame of three elements that have historically been suppressed through colonization: the Divine, the Feminine and the Melanin. Covering aspects such as spirituality, beauty and hair, and sexuality, Yema delves into what it means to be a Person of African Descent who is rekindling their relationship with the Divine. Written in response to a call from within, this book is both an invitation to embrace African spirituality and to embark on a journey of healing, self-discovery and harmony.

The book focuses on uncovering lies and myths that sustain the colonial and European supremacist agendas and restores Africa’s role in originating civilisation, science, mathematics, philosophy, spirituality, and Christianity. It forms part of questioning the deification of Global North episteme as a universal theory. The volume thus contributes to Southern theorisation that draws from multiple practices and lived experiences of those from the austral geographic location (Global South) whose understanding of time is secular. Such theorisation challenges and denounces the imperialist gaze on contemporary science as the sole spectacle and arbiter of its significance in society. The Global South episteme, whose sources are indigenous practices, collective knowing, and collective experiences, has all the right to claim its stake in hallowed spaces of knowledge production.

This brave and moving collection of stories by South African lesbian women from different backgrounds reminds us, again, that rights are never finally won in legislatures or in court rooms. They are won by people exercising them. The authors of the stories and poems in this book have done just that. They have stood up to celebrate the dignity of lesbian women in South Africa. Each contribution is different. And each intensely personal. And each one reminds us of the urgent need for us to stop hate crime and to create a safe society for all LGBT South Africans.
