Espiritismo traces its roots to the sacred knowledge of West and Central African peoples carried into the Americas by enslaved ancestors between the 15th and 19th centuries. Marta Moreno Vega, Ph.D., scholar and co-founder of Corredor Afro, explores how these traditions—sustained in Cuba, Haiti, Brazil, Puerto Rico, other Caribbean islands, and U.S. urban centers—function as systems of memory, survival, and continuity. Drawing on personal and family experiences, Moreno Vega reflects on the challenges of centering African Diaspora spiritual practices in academia, which often privileges “objective” distance over embodied knowledge. She emphasizes the resilience of these ancestral practices and the ways they continue to manifest in contemporary life through remembrance, ritual, and cultural expression.

Eugenia Rainey is our guest to discuss the African diaspora religion of Santeria. Rainey is associate professor William & Mary Rainey where she is a cultural anthropologist who studies religion as a negotiated process. She focuses on this process at the intersection of Lucumí (also referred to as La Regla de Ochá or Santería) and medicine in south Florida. Through examining devotees' experiences and perceptions of the medical encounter, and being well grounded in religious practice, she seeks to better understand how the healthcare infrastructure impacts constructions of race and lived religion, as well as how African Diaspora religions in the US support the healthcare needs of devotees and the healthcare infrastructure.  Eugenia Rainey at William & Mary: https://www.wm.edu/as/americanstudies/faculty/rainey_e.php  Dr. Rainey's profile on Santeria at the World Religions and Spirituality Project: https://wrldrels.org/2025/05/27/santeria/  Books on Santeria mentioned in this podcast: Santería: Correcting the Myths and Uncovering the Realities of a Growing Religion By Mary Ann Clark   Santeria: An African Religion in America - By Joseph M.

Send us a textCan shifting your mindset about money unlock not just financial freedom, but also mental peace? In this deeply inspiring and practical episode, Lira sits down with Shai-dam Akwo, a financial professional consultant and CEO of One-Off Elite, who shares his incredible journey from extreme poverty in Cameroon to building a successful life and business in the United States. Shy's story is a powerful testament to resilience, the drive for a better future, and the critical role financial literacy plays in breaking generational cycles.Shai offers profound insights into the cultural and historical reasons why money remains a taboo subject in many African and Black communities, explaining how societal pressures and a misunderstanding of wealth often lead to financial stress and hinder true progress. He draws a crucial distinction between being rich (making money) and being wealthy (building sustainable financial peace and security that lasts even if you stop working). This conversation is a masterclass in shifting from a survival mindset to a wealth-building one.This episode is packed with actionable advice for anyone ready to take control of their financial future. Shai emphasizes the foundational steps: educating yourself (even through free resources like YouTube and audiobooks), setting massive goals that scare you, disciplined budgeting, finding side hustles, and understanding that building wealth is a long-term journey requiring consistency and patience. He passionately argues that life insurance is the cornerstone of any wealth-building plan, explaining how it protects your most valuable asset—your ability to earn income—against life's uncertainties like critical illness, ensuring your family's stability and peace of mind.Join Lira and Shai for a conversation that bridges finance, mindset, resilience, and mental well-being, offering both inspiration and a practical roadmap to creating a life of security and purpose.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

                                         Black History Month Special (Part 1)                        Two famous 18th century families you never knew were black!                               The Black Spy       Podcast 215, Season 22, Episode 0006 This week, host Carlton King dives headfirst into the meaning of Black History Month — asking the provocative question: What is “Black History,” and why does it matter? Carlton argues that while race is a biological nonsense, it remains a powerful political reality shaping lives, identity, and history itself. To illustrate this, he exposes the hidden stories of two famous families who, through deliberate “whitening,” have had their true African heritage obscured from public view. Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of how power, politics, and perception continue to shape the narrative of Black identity.
