The Witch and The Preacher

When the life you were taught to want no longer fits the life you’re called to live, something has to change.
The Preacher and the Witch follows Ninekia Young-James through a fierce season of listening—honoring the steady voice of God, the wisdom of her ancestors, and the truths her body has carried all along. This is a memoir of spiritual courage: altar beside kitchen table, scripture beside ceremony, grief beside laughter. At its heart is a love story that tests old binaries—a preacher and a woman of ancestral gifts—challenging what church, family, and history say is possible, and discovering what Spirit has already blessed.
Told in short, lyrical chapters, this book doesn’t hand you tidy answers—it lights a path back to yourself.
