Sista Shaman

Most of my photography work revolves around documenting Yoruba Isese Culture and Ceremonies. I recently had the pleasure of shooting the Fela production that just wrapped up this weekend in Atlanta. It was an exceptional performance, showcasing the immense talent of the cast, crew, and director.

Big shoutout to for providing an incredible experience!

Join us, this Thursday, February 8, 2024 for a community conversation on “Reclaiming Black Spiritual Traditions” @ ArtsXchange Atlanta, 6 pm.

Posted • Join us as we pray for our community with and today at 6 PM live on instagram.

Posted • Supporting The Color Purple is a revolutionary act of LOVE. Love of Black peoples past,present and future. Most important, the love of BLACK WOMEN and narratives that include us. If we choose to live in America, then it means that we are impacted by the mental programming of this place. This place hasn’t and doesn’t care about the narrative of Black people and it probably never will. It cares about money. It responds to capitalism. The narrative of Black women is rarely told by Black women. It is rarely written, produced, directed and starring Black people. If we have a desire to see more narratives written, produced,directed and starring people like us — WE HAVE TO SUPPORT IT! Even if you hate musicals, purchase a ticket and keep the negative commentary to yourself! Even if you feel like the narrative is “too traumatic” purchase a ticket. Give it away if you want to, and support the work! If Fantasia was your sister, would you talk s**t? Or would you be happy for her? If Oprah was your Aunty, would you support the work? If Alice Walker were your grandmother, would you have given the books as a gift? Stop s**tting on black women and support them! Support us! Support yourselves! Because if you went to see Black Panther 7 times, and take a stance to NOT see The Color Purple, I think you should question yourself. Let’s leave self-hatred in 2023! Love you all

In loving memory of Damien Akachi Danavall. He has peacefully embarked on his onward journey, leaving behind cherished memories and a deep impact on those who knew him. We shared many chapters in our lives, and, although our paths diverged, our shared journey for almost three decades remains an integral part of my story and the lives of our children. Let us remember him for the love and moments we shared. May he find eternal peace. 🙏❤️

Orisa folks, how many of your ‘fridges look like mine👀😂??

My children knew better growing up not to drink from random bottles.

I know some olorisa don’t refrigerate their omiero or agbo, but I’m not that person.

Time to put these good herbal medical waters to use. ⏰

I'm excited to offer a new online class to help you deepen your knowledge of 16 Cowrie divination! Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the foundations or a practiced diviner hoping to gain new insights, this class is for you.

Together, we'll embark on an enlightening journey to unlock the secrets of this ancient and sacred practice. The course combines the best of online and in-person learning so you can fit the training into your busy life.

You'll get one-month access to pre-recorded video lessons you can watch at your own pace plus a full day of live, in-person, interactive training where we can connect as a community of learners. I'll be there to answer your questions! A private text group will provide ongoing discussion and support throughout the month.

My goal is to create a welcoming space where adult students of all backgrounds can explore 16 Cowrie divination. You'll learn from my experience as a priestess along with educational techniques tailored for modern Western learners.

Let's walk this path together! Enrollment is open now - don't miss out. Just follow the link in my bio to sign up. This course is for initiates only.

Looking forward to seeing you in class!

In light,
Sista Shaman

Five Days of Cosplay

Straight Ghosting @ DragonCon 2023

Ghost Brothers in the Walk of Fame

DragonCon 2023
Day 5
Cosplay Mashup

Today, I decided to have a little fun with the costume. In honor of my first sci-fi addition, I’m attending as a Trekkie Prom Queen.

DragonCon 2023 - Day 4

Who am I?
Character Name?
Book(s) Title(s)?
Author Name?

Hint: I am an albino. The ancient script on my face, the comb in my hair, the mask chocker, and the soccer shirt are a part of my story. (My costume on Day 2 was connected to this character.)

This is my last hint. Who am I?
Character name?
Author Name?
Book(s)?

More clues…???

Still taking guesses on my costume’s character, book, and author for Day 3 of the Con. HINT: if I was in this book, I (Sista Shaman) would be in the Connecter Clan.
