Story
The Roman gladiator has long been a figure of fascination. Portrayed frequently in fine art and popular culture alike, the gladiator is both a real part of history and a legend of a romanticized past. We know that these men entertained Roman audiences by fighting in dangerous and often deadly games. But who were the gladiators? What were their lives like? And why do they continue to have such a strong hold on our imagination, centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire?

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Emphasis on Self-Healing
I liked the emphasis on self-healing through vitamins and herbal means and the suggestion of growing your own herbs as well. I don’t agree with the idea of spells, potions or spiritual rituals that is incorporated, HOWEVER I found a lot of value in the medicinal side as well as the ideas for self-care such as finding what works for you so your hair is healthy. Definitely worth a listen.

I genuinely loved this one and even found myself taking notes as it went on as if I was studying for my final. Everything in it was just so helpful and I believe that these notes will come in handy someday. It got better and better and it’s over 3 hours long which was just perfect. Thank you Grace Ellington!

Great historical and modern reference
African American Herbalism by Grace Ellington was narrated well. The text was complete and it has a great dive into the historical uses of herbal remedies in the African American community. It provides a wealth of information and great tips for herbal uses. I told my daughters about the hair remedies and they are keen to try them out. It is also a great historical reference for history buffs.

So informative!!
As an anthropologist, i love the idea of introducing herbalism from all cultures into my daily life, African American herbalism on the top of my list because of just how long it has been used! I especially loved this book because it does talk about the good and the bad, it tells you how to carefully dip into herbalism!
