A student of Olatunji: who helped her answer this deep calling and leaving her with the task of continuing to invite the people of all nations to return to the drum. She tends to this inspiration and assignment by playing her part in initiating and supporting gatherings and events like SoulFire, SoulFire4TheGulf, CoSM Full Moon Drum and Dance, Turtle Women Rising, and the New England Women’s Herbal Conference.

Mz. imani is a ceremonial fire keeper, drum keeper, instigator, circle facilitator and a recording artist who collaborates with many to share the medicine songs received from spirit.
