Manbo Jessyka Winston had no plans to turn her spiritual practice into a business. However, in 2016, Winston believes her spirits guided her to create Haus of Hoodoo, a New Orleans-based botanica, or religious store, with an Instagram following of more than 100,000. ⁠
⁠
The native of Ayiti is now using her social media platform as a tool to help combat some of the false beliefs surrounding Vodou and Hoodoo.⁠
⁠
“The belief that Vodou is evil and Vodou is dark comes from the fact that Vodou is Black,” the priestess told HuffPost. “Anything Black has been demonized for generations. The thing is that the devil and demons don’t come from Black culture, they come from European culture.” ⁠
⁠
The success of Haus of Hoodoo has helped Winston develop a following on social media, where she uses her platform to demystify these religions. Although many people believe that Vodou is evil, Winston says she uses Vodou and Hoodoo as tools for healing.⁠
⁠
In the past few months, uncertainty about how the pandemic would affect Haus of Hoodoo caused Winston’s anxiety to flare up. She was forced to temporarily close her storefront and rely on her online shop.⁠

“This time has taught me that I am stronger than I thought I was,” she said.“That I am more capable than I thought I was. It has taught me a lot of resilience with my business, with advocacy, and in my personal life as well.” Read more at our link in bio. // 📝 @romblay
