About Rev. Lettie Ar-Rahmaan

• Spiritual Guide  • Ordained Minister   • Author    • Visionary

Rev. Lettie Ar-Rahmaan is an ordained minister, African Spirituality guide, author, and strategic consultant whose work sits at the intersection of ancestral wisdom and modern leadership. After 32 years in IBM’s technology ecosystem, she did not leave that world behind — she brought it with her, using the same pattern recognition and systems thinking to navigate sacred work and organizational transformation.
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.
The Baobab Circle was not planned. It was witnessed. Years after my father’s transition, I witnessed my mother pour a libation — water offered to the ancestors in the tradition of our African lineage. By morning, the water was gone. I did not have language for what I saw. But I never forgot it. When I began to understand the ancestral practices that had always been present in our family, that moment came back as the founding instruction. The Circle began there — in a grief I was still learning to name, and a tradition that had never stopped calling.

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.

Through The Baobab Circle, Rev. Lettie offers spiritual consultations, African spirituality guidance, and life ritual planning—creating sacred space for individuals and families to remember, reclaim, and rise in alignment with ancestral wisdom
