The mkunga lived a life of rituals that provided the mother, baby and family a blueprint for self-care, healing, spiritual protection, preparation and rest. Community guest is elder mkunga Mama Shafia Monroe.

Nurturing and Protective Wisdom of the Mkunga

Host, kreatress and mkunga (traditional black midwife) Sankofa Ra reclaims the cultural heritage of the American mkunga by connecting callings, knowledge, experiences, healers, narratives and literary authors to paint a vivid knowing, being and doing of who the mkunga was, why she is no longer a visible authority figure in the USA today, where she came from, the rituals she practiced, how she continued her legacy and when she will return from the shadows to the frontlines to heal and birth the black community locally, nationally and globally.
