Her Vodou Story

The loudest voices about Vodou are rarely the ones doing the hardest work. We sit down with two women who’ve lived the difference between spectacle and service—Ange, who survived spiritual harm and rebuilt from the ground up, and Mama Rose, a priestess who defines leadership by how well her children are fed, housed, taught, and empowered to surpass her. What follows is a candid walk through Haitian Vodou’s real spine: duty, lineage, and care.
Ange’s story anchors the conversation. Born in the U.S., raised in Haiti, and returning without English, she faced colorism, grief, and a search for place that led her into the wrong spiritual house. She speaks openly about manipulation, intimidation, and the trauma of being “initiated” without guidance. With Rose’s mentorship, she relearns the basics, seeks therapy, and rebuilds a healthy relationship with her spirits. The message is clear: before titles, there must be healing, humility, and training.
Rose lays out what a Mambo is beyond the title: counselor, judge, life coach, and steward of a Laku. A true leader doesn’t hoard knowledge out of fear; she teaches so the lineage lives. We unpack the difference between real ritual work—time-intensive, prayerful, anchored to actual effort—and the social media shortcuts that promise instant wealth, “Zoom initiations,” and fear-based threats in DMs. Prosperity, they argue, amplifies what already exists; it doesn’t fall from the sky. We also discuss gendered targeting in spiritual spaces, the thin line between discernment and delusion, and why accountability protects both the culture and its people.
If you’ve wondered what Vodou looks like without the smoke and mirrors, this conversation brings the clarity. Expect straight talk on scams, grounded definitions of Mambo and Houngan, and a blueprint for ethical leadership rooted in community care. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs a reset on what Haitian Vodou really asks of us, subscribe for part two, and leave a review with the myth you most want to see retired.
