We begin Iranti ẹ̀jẹ̀ — Remembering Blood by leaving the atmosphere. Before we root ourselves in Earth, Water, Fire, and Air, we look to the Cosmos—the original ancestor, the infinite Blackness, the source of all breath and becoming. Guiding us into this sacred beginning is writer, scholar, and oracle Alexis Pauline Gumbs, who will offer a celestial meditation on the Earth as a post-menopausal being.
