I envision a world where every individual embraces their spiritual journey and recognizes it as a profound source of strength and healing. In this world, generational wounds are not just healed but transformed into pathways of agency. The wisdom of mysticism lights the way, creating a legacy of healing and empowerment that spans generations, nurtures the spirit, and paves the way for a future of freedom, compassion, and love.
A profound mission drives Rev. Dr. Paula Owens Parker’s vision. Her passion for womanist mysticism, spirituality, and healing generational trauma in the African American community has led her to speak nationally and internationally at conferences, retreat centers, churches, and classrooms. Her mission is clear: to illuminate, validate, and inspire healing and wholeness for individuals, families and communities.
Paula's writing is informed by a background in history, theology, and spiritual practices, offering a holistic approach to healing that embraces both the mind and the spirit. Her book Roots Matter offers hope, actionable steps, and a deeper understanding of how trauma impacts the individual and entire family systems and communities. Her chapters on spiritual formation invite readers into a deeper relationship with their faith, divine purpose, and service to the community. Through devotionals, Paula brings a womanist perspective to daily life, offering moments of inspiration, scripture, and prayer.
