It is my hope that you will find an
impetus for you to step outside your own reality in order to find healing by
visiting our web portals as well as through your personal interactions with
us. I am blessed to have a family who supports me, encourages me
and loves me. All praises be to our ancestors who continue to weave
the fiber of our existence, and who reunited me with my family, who are the
"other" wings beneath my wings.
I am blessed that
my own human restorative model, Dr. Mustafa Ansari
and I share a passion for our people and the hope
that one day, our healing is complete and we are made whole. It is the
blessing of Olodumare and my faith, that I'm finally blessed to have found a
man on the same page when it comes to the
healing of our people and we do not intend to leave any black family member
behind. Between us and our wonderful Advisors, we bring
to you various ways to affect change in your lives. You are invited to visit
our various sites, including
Afrikan Sistahs Marketplace,
The African
Diasporic Reconciliation Project and
Yoruba Oduduwa Media
Network, and our various forums to
express your thoughts and find your healing.
I hope you find your black selves in
the various sites, blogs, stations we are attempting to create here.
We are here for the long run, this struggle is a marathon, one which we must
win.
My beloved Baba, the Oba of Ketu, who loves me more
than I ever thought a father could love a child, thank you. You are
truly an answer to prayer. You are the wind beneath my wings.
Be blessed for good always,
Her Royal Grace, Princess Ademide

We have to
consciously study how to be tender with each other until it
becomes a habit because it what was native has been stolen from us, the
love of Black women for each other. But we can practice being gentle
with each other by being gentle with that piece of ourselves that is
hardest to hold, by giving more to the brave bruised girlchild within
each of us, by expecting a little less from her gargantuan efforts to
excel. We can love her in the light as well as in the darkness, quiet
her frenzy toward perfection and encourage her attentions toward
fulfillment...As we arm ourselves and each other, we can stand toe to
toe inside that rigorous loving and begin to speak the impossible-to one
another. The first step toward genuine change. Eventually, if we speak
the truth to each other, it will become unavoidable to
ourselves.~~~~~~Audre Lorde "Eye to Eye,"
