About Latoya Esubiyi Brooks, PhD

About ANANSI Ase Ministry
Mission: To create a empowered community rooted in the wisdom, helping individuals and communities transform their lives, heal generational wounds, and approach life’s challenges with resilience and creativity.
Vision: We strive to be a vibrant community, connected through shared stories, collective healing, and weaving wisdom for various ancestral traditions, transforming individuals and communities.
1. Guiding Principles
Empowerment through Story and Wisdom: We honor the power of storytelling, using it to help people reclaim their personal stories, confront challenges, and find resilience in the face of adversity.
Resilience and Adaptability: Together we learn to approach life with adaptability, resourcefulness, and a sense of humor. This helps us see life’s challenges as opportunities for growth.
Ancestral and Generational Healing: A deep respect for honoring the wisdom and resilience of those who came before us, healing generational traumas, and reconnecting with cultural roots.
2. Core Offerings and Practices
Story Circles and Sharing Circles: These group sessions where individuals can share their life stories, reframe their narratives, and receive support. Storytelling is a mechanism to reclaim one’s voice, connect with others, and heal.
Ceremonies and Containers: These practices help participants connect with self, allowing them to gain insights, reclaim power, and shift perspectives. These journeys would be designed to bring forth wisdom, resilience, and courage.
Embodiment Practices: These practices encourage a playful yet powerful connection to the body, helping individuals release fear and build confidence. Dance, play, move, breathe!
Workshops: These sessions would explore ancestral patterns, inherited challenges, and cultural strengths. Participants would learn techniques for identifying and healing generational wounds, using Anansi’s spirit as a guide for resilience and adaptation.
Retreats: Retreats focused on growth, resilience, and healing would offer a time for deep immersion in inner wisdom. These retreats would bring participants together for collective empowerment and renewal.
