JuJu uJu is an Osun (Oshun) Priest, a Podcaster, Spiritual advisor, & Community friend. She’s currently starring in the Hulu series Living For the Dead where a group of queers help the living by healing the dead. JuJu is their resident witch. We had a wonderful conversation about her journey and her new book “The Book of JuJu” which is set to drop in Spring of this year. I think you’ll really enjoy our chat.
