Dr. Lahronda Little is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary spiritual guide and scholar with expertise in soteriology - salvation with respect to public health, religion, and spiritual practice. She is a mystic, healer, teacher, and pastor who draws from her rich cultural and spiritual heritage to nurture and guide others back to wellness and wholeness.
