Who We Are

Who We Are: "We are a collaboration of families of African Traditional practitioners coming together to venerate our Ancestors for the perpetual healing of our communities."

About our favicon: Fawohodie, an adinkra symbol meaning the "symbol of independence, freedom, emancipation". From the expression: Fawodhodie ene obre na enam. Literal translation:
"Independence comes with its responsibilities."

Ancestors Move and Shake in East Africa

I can't help but have all of you on my mind as I tour this vast continent. It has never been more clear that the ancestors need us to restore our greatness on Earth and be a part of the solution of revitalizing our people's strength and faith in the power and consciousness of Africa. So if you are feeling weary, if you have lost your resolve, if you are discouraged, they say, LIFT UP YOUR HEAD because you have been given the gift of seeing and seeking their power through the terrible tear of the Maafa. Those who are here have long forgotten them and have turned their backs to become more acceptable in the sight of Europeans. Do you not see the significant role that you are playing in our history? If you don't then you are missing it. So, I call on each of you to utter out loud your African names and recall once again what you have been told is your purpose. Do not underestimate WHO YOU ARE!
