Brujas of Brooklyn
Brujas of Brooklyn are identical twin sisters,
Doctora Griselda Rodriguez-Solomon and Doctora Miguelina Rodriguez.
These Brujas, or witches, merge the magic of ancestral medicine with
sharp intellect. Their platform provides the balm to help People of
Color, particularly Womyn of color, heal from internalized oppression.
As certified Kundalini and Hatha yogis, these Black Dominican sisters
design multi-sensory workshops that provide sacred space for Womyn of
color to heal from womb imbalances. Both are professors of the Social
Sciences within the City College of New York (CUNY). They’ve both
authored academic pieces on the effects of racialized oppression on
communities of color, Dominicans in particular. Their work has granted
them access to platforms such as ABC, NPR, Univision, Google, Buzz
Feed’s Pero Like, and Facebook to name a few. Joy is their ultimate form of resistance. Visit their website here.
