The twentieth anniversary edition of a transformative blueprint for ancestral healing—featuring new material and gateways, from the renowned herbalist, natural health expert, and healer of women’s bodies and souls

“This book was one of the first that helped me start practices as a young woman that focused on my body and spirit as one.”—Jada Pinkett Smith

Through extraordinary meditations, affirmations, holistic healing plant-based medicine, KMT temple teachings, and The Rites of Passage guidance, Queen Afua teaches us how to love and rejoice in our bodies by spiritualizing the words we speak, the foods we eat, the relationships we attract, the spaces we live and work in, and the transcendent woman spirit we manifest. With love, wisdom, and passion, Queen Afua guides us to accept our mission and our mantle as Sacred Women—to heal ourselves, the generations of women in our families, our communities, and our world.

Lauren’s story is as rich and powerful as the energy she radiates. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., amidst intense environments, Lauren always felt a special calling—an inner knowing that she was destined for more. After a life-altering near-death experience at the age of 15, she began her journey of transformation through food, healing, and spiritual connection. Lauren’s journey took her from selling raw pies outside Howard University to becoming a celebrated culinary artist, personal chef, and healer for some of the world’s most influential figures—Stevie Wonder, Common, Venus and Serena Williams, Erykah Badu, Anna Wintour, and Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move Campaign .She curated menus for the Met Gala, catered the Oscars, Grammys, SAG Awards to mention a few .
