"Black women have a long history of using plant medicine as a way to heal and connect with our ancestral roots. Womanism, a term coined by Alice Walker, emphasizes the importance of centering the experiences and voices of Black women. This includes the ways in which we heal and care for ourselves.

Through the use of plant medicine, Black women have been able to tap into the wisdom and knowledge of our ancestors. Whether it's through the use of herbs, teas, or tinctures, plant medicine has been a way for us to connect with the natural world and harness its healing power.

But it's not just about the physical healing. Plant medicine also has the power to heal us emotionally and spiritually. By connecting with the plants, we are able to tap into our intuition and gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.

As Black women, it's important that we continue to reclaim our traditions and incorporate them into our modern lives. Plant medicine is just one way in which we can honor our ancestors and care for ourselves. By centering our experiences and voices, we can continue to build a world that celebrates and uplifts Black women."

As the world moves towards legalizing cannabis and decriminalizing psychedelic therapy, the healing potential of plant and fungal medicine is gaining recognition. In this roundtable discussion, we center Black women healers who work with plant medicine to heal their communities. Drawing upon African Diasporic sacred principles of ecology and herbalist pharmacopic traditions, these healers show us how to embrace the curing wisdom of plants and fungi as a birthright of the Black community. Join us for an evening of conversation, connection, and healing.
