In the journey of Maafa healing and spiritual transformation, we often speak of reclaiming our names, our voices, and our identities. But a vital part of reclaiming our dignity is reclaiming our connection to the land. As we rise into the fullness of who God created us to be, we must look at how we sustain our families and our communities through the sacred act of cultivation.
For many in our community, returning to the soil is an act of liberation. However, liberation requires wisdom and protection. In a world of unpredictable seasons and shifting climates, we are called to be "shrewd as snakes and innocent as doves" (Matthew 10:16). This is where the practical meets the spiritual.

Thank you for joining the community, and thank you even more for this thoughtful reflection. What you shared speaks deeply to the heart of Maafa healing—the restoration of dignity, identity, and our sacred relationship to land, labor, and life. You’re absolutely right: reclamation is not only spiritual but practical, requiring wisdom, foresight, and stewardship. The connection you drew between cultivation, protection, and Matthew 10:16 is powerful—it reminds us that faith must be lived with discernment as well as devotion. I’m grateful you’re here and walking this journey with us. Welcome, and I look forward to building, learning, and growing together.
