ATR Profile Narrative: Dee is a 24-year-old nonbinary ifa-Lukumi practitioner located in New Orleans. Dee's practice shows up in their daily life through the communion that they have with their spirits, which includes songs, offerings, prayers, and wearing white. Additionally, they find physical manifestations of god through their practice with the use of ancestor alters. Dee's practices have impacted their life by providing a sense of calmness to them. Ifa gave them courage and support to have an unshakable sense of who they are, and they use this sense of confidence to educate others and demystify misconceptions as an educator and rising historian. Dee's advice to beginner practitioners is to take your time and choose your godparents carefully. You have power over your alignment, and this is YOUR destiny. It is a frightening, but ultimately liberating realization.
