About Us
Welcome to The Baobab Circle
The Baobab Circle is a sacred gathering space where people of African descent come to remember, reclaim, and reimagine. Rooted in ancestral reverence, this is where
African-centered rituals, holistic tools, and transformational journeys meet everyday practice and sacred purpose.
Founded by Rev. Lettie Ar-Rahmaan, The Baobab Circle is guided by the Ancestors and held in the spirit of community. Here, we honor the past, heal the present, and cultivate vibrant futures — together
Whether you’re called to a sacred ceremony, connecting with your ancestors, remembering African Spirituality practices, seeking rituals, or experiencing a guided tour to Africa and the Gullah Geechee coast, you’ve found your circle.
Come as you are. Bring your lineage. Leave with light.
Spiritual Guide • Ordained Minister • Author • Visionary
Rev. Lettie Ar-Rahmaan is an African Spirituality Guide, an ordained minister, retired technologist, and author who bridges sacred tradition with modern insight. After a 30+ year career in the tech industry, she turned fully toward ancestral healing, ritual work, and spiritual education rooted in the African diaspora.
She is the founder of The Baobab Circle, a sacred space dedicated to African-centered ritual, wellness, and ancestral remembrance. Raised in the Nation of Islam, shaped by Christianity, and now walking as a lifelong student of African spirituality, her journey reflects the beauty and complexity of diasporic identity.
Rev. Lettie is the author of Struggling to Be Me: No Longer Silent and Invisible at the Table, a reflective and courageous account of reclaiming voice, identity, and purpose while navigating leadership in spaces where Black women have often been unseen or unheard.
Her path of service has included pastoral and ministry leadership, walking with communities through moments of faith, transition, and transformation. She currently serves on the Executive Board of the Wesley Community Development Corporation and as Chaplain for the Virginia Union University Alumni Chapter in Charlotte.
Rev. Lettie holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from North Carolina Central University, a Master of Science in Information Systems from Strayer University, and a Master of Divinity from the Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University.
