Vodou Ayisyen already includes ethnospiritual and psychosocial support. However, Prensip Minokan does not oblige participants to belong to or practice Vodou.

Prensip Minokan is developed through spiritual practice and academic studies to uplift from Vodou practices the fundamental principles explaining its impact and sustainability - similar to the impacts and enduring nature of Afro-ancestral practices on the continent and in the Diaspora. These principles have value because they responded and actively opposed colonial efforts to dehumanize the African people that colonial states trafficked.

These principles have enabled our Zansèt to confront these structures of oppression. Prensip Minokan proposes that we Afro-descendants uplift our Zansèt as experts and draw on their experiences to navigate and resist today's spaces of oppression.
