Ep 50: Rituals for the Revolution: Healing, Justice, and Spirituality with Jade T. Perry
Description
In this episode, Nikki Blak is in conversation with Jade T. Perry — a spiritual practitioner, mystic, and founder of The Mystic Soul Project — about what it really means to tend to Black wellness at the root.
This isn't about high-vibe affirmations or aesthetic altars. It's about building real spiritual technologies for people on the margins.
We talk about:
-
How to make spiritual practice more accessible to Black folks living with chronic illness, trauma, and the everyday violence of white supremacy
-
Why mysticism and justice work must be integrated
-
What Jade means by "spiritual reclamation" and how it looks in real, tangible action
-
How we can honor our ancestors while still disrupting inherited spiritual harm
-
The importance of sacred rest, ritual hygiene, and political clarity in spiritual spaces
Jade doesn't give you soundbites. She gives you systems. Systems for care, for accountability, for co-liberation. Together we name the ways white dominance creeps into spiritual spaces and how to reclaim them with intention, clarity, and care.
This episode is a reminder that mysticism isn't just for those with time, money, and the astethic rituals. It's for those who need it most. And it's one of our most potent tools for personal and collective survival.
