In this riveting episode of White Label American, host Raphael reconnects with Baudelaire Ceus to explore the often misunderstood realm of African spirituality. They focus on The Vodou Project, a documentary series that traces Haitian Vodou from its roots in West Africa to the modern diaspora. Together, they share personal stories, challenge misconceptions, and emphasize the importance of reclaiming cultural narratives around Vodou, Juju, Oru, and other African spiritual traditions. The conversation spans intergenerational wisdom, the transformative power of music, identity across continents, and how colonial narratives have weaponized fear against ancestral beliefs.
