Afia Reynolds (she/her) is a reformed Army brat who once dreamed of a future in medicine, but fate intervened. After a traipse through seminary and a series of life changing events she is now rooted in healing practices of an Ancient medium. Her primary motivation is to serve the African diaspora by offering analysis, art, and facilitation experiences that work to repair the fractures caused by colonial Christianity and white supremacy. You can find her sitting in nature, playing a banjo, and singing to the Nsmanfo.
