Jan learned so much from this book, Working the Roots: Over 400 Years of Traditional African American Healing by Michele E. Lee π¨πΎβπΎπ³
Lee spent 20 years interviewing and documenting the home-grown medicinal knowledge of Black/Indigenous elders.
This book is a history of people affirming their humanity and supporting their communities with love and resourcefulness.
