Join us for a very special interview with our friend, our partner author and music producer Sean "XLG" Mitchell. Sean is back with an amazing book titled, "The African American Spiritual Practice of Seven Keys To KA-MAAT."   This book centers around:  The African American spiritual practice of Seven is the number that symbolizes Ka-Maat. The number seven has a spiritual significance as the human body has seven orifices and seven layers of skin. There are also seven days in a week, seven notes on a musical scale, seven seas and continents.
