    Episode 401: Dreams of a Diasporic Diviner

    In this season four premier, Nancey speaks with writer, griot, culture worker, healer, and diviner, Sara Makeba Daise to talk about recognition, knowing your worth, and accepting your ancestral calling. Sara shares a dream story about being recognized in non-traditional spaces and what it taught her about using her voice. Sara Makeba Daise, MA (she/her) is a Black, queer, fifth-generation Gullah Geechee Writer, Griot, Cultural Worker, Healer and Diviner from Beaufort, SC. She works passionately at the intersections of Afrofuturism, ancestor veneration, intergenerational healing, Black queer erotics & desire, and African Diasporic rituals, history & culture - particularly in The South. As a writer, Sara explores these topics through memoir, prose, folklore and speculative fiction. Daughter of Storytellers, Culture Bearers, and stars of Nick Jr.’s Gullah Gullah Island, Ron & Natalie Daise, Sara’s multidisciplinary approach builds on their continuous work of worldbuilding, archiving and affirming Black life.   Sara’s acclaimed 2020 essay "Be Here Now: The South is a Portal", published in Root Work Journal, uplifts the South as a portal for Africana and Indigenous resistance and ways of knowing. Her debut book, Sankofa Shadow Work: Diaries of a Diasporic Diviner (2025), is a literary cosmogram blending memoir, public history, fabulation, and conjure. Following the life and death cycles of a queer Black Diviner, Griot, and Gatekeeper, the stories invite readers to explore their shadows, center pleasure, and heal backwards and forwards in the face of systemic terror. Purchase Sankofa Shadow Work: https://www.saramakeba.com/store/p/signed-copy-of-sankofa-shadow-work Visit Sara's Website: www.saramakeba.com Follow Sara on Substack: @saramakeba Follow the show on IG: @dreamingincolorpod Follow Nancey on IG @nanceybprice and TikTok @nanceybprice Music by Omar Faruque from Pixabay
