David

Name: David
Age: 27
Location: Ypsilanti, MI
Religious Practice: Hoodoo

ATR Profile Narrative: David is a 27-year-old queer male who practices Hoodoo. His practice of Hoodoo has given him a deeper connection to himself and his community, as well as connecting to his culture and heritage. He has enjoyed the sense of intentionality it has brought him through that network of connections. This practice often shows up in his daily life through the navigation of social and political spheres, especially in the context of colonialism and his ancestral history. He describes his practice as "a sense of home" and advises others who are just starting in Hoodo to "not underestimate the power of the mundane in your journey" and remember things like food, music, and dance.
