Sacred Lies : The Priestess Problem

In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the veil on a troubling trend quietly rising in Black spiritual spaces: the emergence of so-called healers who are more performance than power. These are individuals—often adorned in the right aesthetics, using the right lingo, and cloaked in ancestral cosplay—who present themselves as spiritual guides, but lack the skill, grounding, and moral compass required to truly serve.

We're diving into the spaces where Black women dominate spiritually—and where, unfortunately, some are mimicking what it means to be a "Black woman healer" without honoring the sacred responsibility it carries. This isn’t just about gatekeeping—it’s about accountability, harm prevention, and preserving the soul of our traditions.

If you've ever been manipulated under the guise of a reading, drained by someone who claimed to be a vessel, or witnessed the sacred turned into spectacle... this conversation is for you.

Because not every woman in white is a healer.
And not every message comes from spirit.
