As a collective, we stand to unite and transcend separation and oppression, and for this, dialogue around anti-racism is necessary. Yet, the voices of black women are still missing from our cultural narrative.

The inspiring stories in Ancient-Future Unity will open you up to more connection, truth, and possibilities—in every area of your life!

"Reading Jocelyn Gordon’s words, I felt as if I was sitting by the fire of illumination as she detailed a way of body and spirit reclamation for our true feminine power by tracing and repairing the lineage fractures that exist in all of our mother lines—and especially for black mothers. Jocelyn has traveled this path and, as the dream of her ancestors, blessedly weaves words to lead others on this powerful healing journey."

—Tami Lynn Kent, author of Wild Feminine: Finding Power, Spirit & Joy in the Female Body, Wild Creative and Mothering from Your Center

— Wendy Lipp, Publisher, Prashanti Press

"As a Nigerian-American woman who grew up in all-white spaces in Washington state, it was incredibly empowering to hear Nyakuiy share her story. Far too often have I allowed my name to be mispronounced, or abdicated my position of power, found in my Nigerian culture, for stale, misidentifications of whiteness in order to fit in. Nyakuiy's words reminded me that I am not alone, and that my holiness is found in the identity that Father/Mother God gave me, as a Naija woman."

—Abiola Akanni, Founder of online yoga platform, iya

"From a nightmarish dystopia close to our current reality, to a young planet where ancient memories thrive in pits of bio-illuminated plasma, Chante Zupancic’s 'Yin: The Beginning' grounds the reader’s body while blowing their mind. A soothing meditation on the power of blackness, yin energy, and the imagination, the story is medicine for our era of social and climate collapse: 'We didn’t know we had the map inside our skin, inside our blood, within our voice… nothing is ever truly lost, just reimagined.'”

—Kate Duva

"Treneti is at the forefront of embodying a completely new way of being and creating in service to the Sovereignty of all. She expands the mind to new possibilities through her unique artistic expression that bridges worlds. Her personal story, music, and poetry invoke ancestral resilience, a deepened connection with our infinite nature and a homecoming to our soul’s truth. Her devotion to the Muse is awe-inspiring and her words of wisdom guide us back to the power we hold within this present moment."

—Shakti Mayumi
