ATR Profile Narrative: Kwame is a 31-year-old agender Rootwork practitioner. Xe practices prayer and observances of xir ancestors daily and her rootwork practices show up in many aspects of xir life, “The way I cook, the herbs I use, my understanding of food.” Kwame engages in xir rootwork traditions by casting stones for guidance, using tarot to guide others, and honoring xir body's need for rest. Xe advises those interested in pursuing an ATR practice to learn the history, read, and do whatever they can.
