Hi,

Here's my #introductionpost, as everyone is doing it; I won't be an exception ✊

I am Nzas, a PG student researching #traditionalbonesetting and perceptions. My interest lies within the space of: #africantraditionalreligion Traditional #healingpattern #healthandwellness.

Other interests: #HealthCareDelivery #MentalHealthDisabilities #PsychosocialSupport

Hobbies: Gaming, researching, listening to music and playing guitar 😁

Follow me. I follow back.🤞

I want to make it clear that I'm not proselytising here. It's not how spirituality works. But as a black person who comes from a catholic family that does not discuss anything ancestral I had nowhere to turn to. So this thread is for those who don't know where to start safely.

The lists are not exhaustive, just enough for you to carry on on your own.
