Becoming a Modern Healer from the Ancient World of AkƆm - Nana Kwaku Sakyi

BECOMING A MODERN HEALER FROM THE ANCIENT WORLD OF AKƆM is a memoir of Nana Kwaku Sakyi's transnational experiences in becoming a healer. Guided by African healing savants, Nana Sakyi became the first diasporic African to become a spiritualist-healer in the ancient market town and spiritual center of Takyiman, Ghana. Becoming a Modern Healer is a remarkable portrait of a people who activate the crucial links between Africa and its American diaspora, the fusing of ancient knowledge with modern life, and the importance of healing, ritual, coded wisdom, and following one's path in life.
