Mkunga Bui Bui Oracle Cosmogram: Anthology

This is a creative storytelling anthology of the mkunga bui bui’s knowledge capacity to heal and birth. It is a kaleidoscopic tapestry of eight short stories and eight poems. This creative piece is a demonstration of the African midwife’s knowing, being, and doing as a traditional African healer of self and community. The mkunga bui bui’s scope (eight legs of intelligence) of (1) initiation, (2) connection, (3) manifestation, (4) building, (5) adaptation, (6) nurturance, (7) investigation, and (8) influence construct her knowledge capacity to conduct souls through a successful journey of the cycle of life. This book is one of the four components of the revolutionary self-help toolkit, Mkunga Bui Bui Oracle Cosmogram. The toolkit is a transdisciplinary address to the long-time persistent high black maternal and infant mortality rates in the United States. The anthology book is the second book of the toolkit. The toolkit is a cultural solution for the African American community tangled within a white supremacist socioeconomic infrastructure. Mkunga Bui Bui Oracle Cosmogram is an infusion of numerology, Bantu-Kongo cosmology, and the mkunga’s eight legs of intelligence. This toolkit consists of a narrative book, anthology book, instruction manual, and a cosmogram board with moveable pieces.
