The Black Madonna Codes with Deidra Towns — Why This Conversation Matters

What happens when we widen the story of Mary Magdalene? 🖤

For so long, Magdalene has been shared as a symbol of feminine awakening… but often through a very limited lens.

In this first episode of The Black Madonna Codes, Deidra and I open a deeper conversation about the historical and cultural roots of the Black Madonna and why race, lineage, and lived experience belong in spiritual spaces.

We talk about what first drew each of us to the Magdalene, what the Black Madonna represents, and why this moment is asking us to expand the narrative.

This isn’t about having the right answers. It’s about being willing to listen, to question, and to honor the many lineages that have carried this wisdom long before us. If you’ve ever felt a pull toward the Magdalene…

If you’ve felt there’s more to her story… This conversation is for you. 🖤

These conversations are also part of something bigger. In 2027, I’ll be hosting a Magdalene Pleasure Pilgrimage in the south of France, a deeply immersive journey through sacred sites, embodiment, and sisterhood. A space where this work moves beyond conversation and into lived experience. If this episode speaks to you, you’re invited to explore the pilgrimage with us.
