About this listen

Before slavery. Before soul food. Even before supermarkets…

Our ancestors in West Africa had one of the most nutrient-rich, spiritually grounded food systems on the planet.

In this episode of The Reconnection Is Power Podcast™, I’m taking you back to the original grocery list—100% pre-colonial, pre-global trade foods from regions like Ghana, Nigeria, Mali, and Senegal. These were the sacred staples that built civilizations and supported heart, blood, and brain health long before chronic disease became “normal” in the Black community.

Foods like fonio, African rice, okra, catfish, baobab, tamarind, hibiscus, and more.

Foods designed by the earth—and our ancestors—for survival, strength, and spiritual alignment.

You’ll also learn why some of these ingredients disappeared from our tables… and how reconnecting with them today could be a blueprint for healing.

⚠️ Not medical advice—just education and reconnection. Sources include peer-reviewed nutritional studies, oral traditions, and agricultural science.
