Summary
Anita Kopacz is a lifelong storyteller. She’s made a career bringing fun and interesting stories to life as the former Editor-in-Chief of Heart & Soul magazine and now she is the author of The Wind on Her Tongue. Anita welcomes the audience into a world where spirituality intersects with real world scenarios to create a compelling narrative you won’t want to put down.
In her page-turning book, Anita introduces her audience to the Orishas, spiritual deities that are most recognized in the African Traditional Religions (ATRs) of Ifa, Voudoo, and Hoodoo. Anita offers context about the ATRs and their importance in the African diasporic experience. She dispels some of the common myths and misconceptions regarding the ATRs and offers perspective on how some of the wisdom from the Orishas and the ATRs can provide insight into your life.
Lady, whether you’ve promised yourself that you’ll read more this year or you’re asking yourself the big questions about the meaning of life and where our help comes from, we promise this is the episode for you. Let Anita’s calm energy transport you to the deeper well that resides within you. And, you’ll want to tune into the Aftershow this week. Dr. Dom and Terri offer a more in-depth peek into their creative process that can help spark your own. Dream big, lady!
