🧠 Lecture: "Decolonizing the Witch"

🎤 Speaker: Brujas of Brooklyn (Dr. Griselda Rodriguez-Solomon & Dr. Miguelina Rodriguez-Geraldo)

Join us for an illuminating evening with the Brujas of Brooklyn as they explore the “witch” and “bruja” as powerful sources of socio-psychological and political resistance. In this multidisciplinary lecture, you’ll trace the historical trajectory of the witch as a symbol of feminist and feminine rebellion against oppressive structures like racism, sexism, and homophobia.

Grounded in critical race theory, this talk centers witches of color and challenges the white-centric cooptation of today’s bruja resurgence. The Brujas of Brooklyn—identical twin PhDs, certified yoga instructors, and CUNY social science professors—merge ancestral medicine with sharp intellect, creating sacred, multi-sensory spaces to address intergenerational trauma and womb imbalances.

Their scholarship focuses on racialized oppression in communities of color, especially Afro-Dominicans, and their work has been featured on ABC, NPR, Univision, Google, and Facebook.

Come experience a lecture driven by love, rooted in joy, and dedicated to transforming the narratives around witches, brujas, and liberation. Get a drink, connect, and learn at Lectures on Tap! 🙌
