Ms. Donna Haskins is an African American woman who wrestles with structural inequity in the streets of Boston by inhabiting an alternate dimension she refers to as the “spirit realm.” Both ethnographic and personal, Onaje X. O. Woodbine’s portrait of her spiritual life sheds new light on the lived religion of the dispossessed.
