Celebrating Historical Black Mediums

from Spirit School Hosted by squamishmedium

I researched 4 historical black mediums in history, that truly made massive shifts for all of us working mediums back in the day. This was brought to my attention from one of my Initiation 2021 sisters, how my lesson on the History of Mediumship was missing diversity, and she was very right. It led me to want to learn more about my own cultural background and Mediumship (Indigenous descent) I have a special message from Jonathan The Medium in this episode for all mediums who feel they are not widely represented in the world of Mediumship, and I thank him for his time and generosity in continuing to be a safe cultural sounding board for me, and his willingness to contribute to this episode.
