What would compel a woman from Ohio to fly to Havana in search of her deceased mother—three decades after her passing? Meet Rebe Huntman, author of My Mother in Havana: A Memoir of Magic & Miracle, whose powerful story of loss, grief, and rebirth will leave you spellbound. At 19, Rebe lost her mother to cancer. But it wasn’t until 30 years later that her healing truly began—when she followed a spiritual call to Cuba and stepped into the mystical world of Afro-Cuban religions. Through seances, Santeria, and communion with gods, ghosts, and saints, Rebe discovered more than ancestral wisdom—she found her mother again. In this intimate interview, Rebe shares how her journey through Afro-Cuban traditions redefined grief and why these vibrant practices helped her reconnect with what was lost but never gone. This is a story of magic, miracles, and the transformative power of spiritual seeking across borders and beliefs. Ready to be inspired and uplifted? Don’t miss it!
