Testimony from Ashley on https://hoodherbalism.com/hood-herbalism/
“I just completed the Hood Herbalism 6-week summer cohort and I highly recommend for anyone interested in beginning your herbalism journey, or to expand your practice. I entered the program looking to build a foundation for my herbalism knowledge and got so much more. It transformed my relationship to herbs and taught me how to integrate the spiritual side of plant medicine into my own practice. They do offer payment plans and scholarship opportunities if you need financial assistance, please inquire. They also offer other courses as well including Pleasure Herbalism, Herbal Medicine for Birth Support, and Grounded Roots (the follow-up course to Hood Herbalism).”
“As in Nigeria, vagabonds are those whose existence is literally outlawed: the queer, the displaced, the footloose and rogue spirits. They are those who inhabit transient spaces, who make their paths and move invisibly, who embrace apparitions, old vengeances and alternative realities. Eloghosa Osunde’s brave, fiercely inventive novel traces a wild array of characters for whom life itself is a form of resistance: a driver for a businessman with the power to command life and death; a legendary fashion designer who gives birth to a grown daughter; a lesbian couple whose tender relationship sheds unexpected light on their experience with underground sex work; a wife and mother who attends a secret spiritual gathering that shifts her world; a transgender woman and the groundbreaking love of her parent. As their lives intertwine—in bustling markets and underground clubs, churches and hotel rooms—vagabonds are seized and challenged by spirits who command the city’s dark energy. Whether running from danger, meeting with secret lovers, finding their identities, or vanquishing their shadowselves, Osunde’s characters confront and support one another, before converging for the once-in-a-lifetime gathering that gives the book its unexpectedly joyous conclusion.
Blending unvarnished realism with myth and fantasy, Vagabonds! is a vital work of imagination that takes us deep inside the hearts, minds, and bodies of a people in duress—and in triumph.”
