A Visit With Antoinette "Rootsdawtah" Hall

We value our friends at The Center For Unity and occasionally we feature them in our newsletter and share information about them, and their great ministry efforts, with our readers. This month I was pleased to sit down with Antoinette Hall to hear all about what she has been up to, and what she's been doing to share the revelation.

First, let me just say I had heard about her busy travels in Africa. Antoinette and her husband Pato Banton, just returned from a ten-country tour of Africa, uniting with others like Gard Jameson, who support the worthy Spirit of UBUNTU efforts. All the while they were involving themselves with these charities, she was facing serious health concerns – and I hoped she had recovered – but I was astounded at the positive vibe and glow of love, peace, and health surrounding Antoinette – I felt as though she must have cracked the code on self-healing.

Asking about her secrets to health, she explained that she had learned through the prior illnesses and disappointing results her father and others had with conventional treatment, that she was determined to research unconventional and natural treatment for herself. She explained that she opened herself up to a network of people who had good results and shared a wealth of helpful information with her. Each person is unique but she developed a natural approach to health that is obviously working for her. She looks younger and healthier than ever before!

Some of the important elements of Antoinette's self-healing process were to embrace gratitude, and to seek the help of the Divine Mother Spirit's Adjutant Mind Spirit circuit of Intuition to lead her to helpful knowledge, to embrace gratitude, to seek peaceful, positive input for relieving stressful impact on her health, and to consume pure waters and organic foods whenever possible. She mentioned many ideas that all seem to have contributed to an overall improved health and vitality. Whenever possible, Antoinette plans to put together a resource guide or site with her best recommendations for others to try.

Everyone knows and loves Antoinette, who is married to Pato Banton – and they have performed around the globe, bringing their unique and wonderful music style to appreciative audiences everywhere they go. Antoinette is Tour Manager and Music Director, and she manages bookings and social media for them. I had met Antoinette years earlier, but I never had an opportunity to ask about her family and upbringing. Antoinette and Pato just celebrated another wedding anniversary and together they have a large blended family. Antoinette has a daughter who is named for the Queen of Sheba and is interested in design and architecture. She is about to celebrate her daughter's 31st birthday with her when she visits next week in Florida; and she plans to bring her daughter on their next trip to Africa.

Antoinette says she didn't go to school for music, but her musical history began one Christmas when she and all of her siblings wished for toys but her dad bought them an organ. We all owe him a debt of gratitude! She said as time went by she was the one who really enjoyed the organ and spent time creating her own music. I am a huge fan of her musical score for the Words of Christ collection and asked how she wrote it. Antoinette explained that they were on the road performing, and Pato said they were going to record something. Each day they would stop at a nice restful place and she would play whatever she was inspired to play. Pato recorded the narration later.

Antoinette mentioned that she also recently won an international award for her beautiful musical score for the full-length documentary about the Spirit of UBUNTU. She shared the link with everyone so we could watch and learn more about what is being done to help the people of Africa and the problems they face. One shocking detail Antoinette shared was the lack of clean water. Horrible diseases result in 70 per cent of the population being under thirty years old. Orphan children and widowed women with no resources create a great need for assistance.

Some of the women are gathering to shelter together and the people are being taught skills which allow them to be more prosperous and self-reliant. Corruption in the government systems has prevented much of what is donated for the people actually reaching them, but UBUNTU charities give every cent to the people. Many of us ask, "Who can we trust with our donations?" These are reliable partners which Pato and Antoinette have personally worked with and recommend. Some are giving animals that provide food such as eggs, cheese and milk. Others help the native people create items for sale. Some are focused on shelter for the orphans and widows, but they are working as a community in the Spirit of UBUNTU, which is "I am because we are."

Like "The Golden Rule" & "The Good News",
when "The Spirit of Ubuntu" is fully embraced,
it's like an inner spark emerging as a living flame
that leads to increasing acts of loving service.

Antoinette related how grateful and happy the people of Africa are, appreciating every gift and blessing from God. She fell in love with the people of Africa, and also coordinated the start of a Spirit of UBUNTU in Mexico on a recent visit there. Obviously she has a heart for all people struggling and in need. She expressed that these times are difficult and stressful, but she remains a calm in the storm, providing much-needed spiritual leadership and a service inspiration for others, especially women. She gives it her all. Her trust is sublime. I could see that she is living and walking in the spirit of eternal love.

I asked Antoinette if she were able to fuse with her indwelling spirit today, would she choose to do it or stay on Earth. She said she would rather be here doing good for a world desperately in need. Beautiful, right? Since she decided to stay, I asked what her long-term goals were and she explained that she and Pato are dreaming of establishing a garden community on their property in the future. A road needs to be built, but they have a dream of growing their own food and being more self-sustainable.

I thank Antoinette for being gracious and sharing her precious time, and encourage everyone to followup with the links for videos and sites she shared.
