- Africa and African Diasporic edition

200 pages out of the total 541 pages of the Queering Herbalism Encyclopedia.

This volume was written to center black healing histories, simultaneously challenging the prevalent anti-blackness in "modern western herbalism" and "holistic healing" by directly talking about the colonization of Africa, traditional medicinal healing in Africa and its Diaspora, black Trans and queer healers healing and transforming our many different communities in various ways, and birthwork and midwifery in the black community. The volume includes articles on ceremony, ritual and medicine making and a final section about healing ourselves and each other that addresses internalized and historical trauma and contains remedies for stress, anxiety and depression and an elixir for the heart.

- Women* Healers Feminine Healing Energy and Resistance  (2 Part volume)

This volume begins with an article on Oshún, a West African (Yoruba) spirit in the Ifá tradition and is followed by an article on the feminine healing energy rooted in feminine spirits of Africa and her diaspora- the Iyami Àjé and Awon Iya Wa of Ifa- the Mothers. There is also an article on women shamans followed by articles and essays on women* involved in multiple movements who are part of the rich legacy of women healers (using a more expansive definition inclusive of artists, organizers, spiritual healers, etc.) dating back to the ancestral mothers.

: focuses on the many faces of feminism in our varying communities of color and the women* who have been involved in many different movements, who are healers in their own right. These range from interviews to biographies to essays and articles. The final article is a conversation between Betita Martinez and Angela Y. Davis on how to build coalitions of color.

•  Partnering with Plants This resource guide centers black and brown ancestral healing histories and focuses on the ways our ancestors built relationships with and partnered w/ plants through various ceremonies, rituals and medicine making. There are plenty of reductionist “this plant for this illness” texts that we see so often so I have tried not to replicate those texts, although some articles on medicine making basics can be found within the guide. In addition to POC healing histories you will find articles about creating sacred space and suggestions on how to begin/continue partnering with plants in various ways. There are essays on plants and their role in spiritual baths and baños/sahumados de vapor and after medicine making articles, you will find a final section about healing ourselves and each other. Included in this section you'll find articles that address internalized and historical trauma and remedies for stress, anxiety and depression.
