Priestess of Twerk: A Black Femme Star Temple + Wisdom School

Nia Witherspoon’s new work, Priestess of Twerk: A Black Femme Star Temple + Wisdom School is a performance, a spa, and a temple that merges African traditional religious approaches to healing and Black feminist theologies to both envision and enact a more evolved world through embodied experiences. By centering all radical forms of femme agency, including womb health, creative expression, dreamwork, sacred sexuality, and gender affirmation, Priestess of Twerk aims to create a space where Black Femme health is prioritized and honored on our own terms.
