Getting to know each other... :)

[aziza]

This thread is so anyone that wishes, can have the opportunity to share a little about themselves. What your hobbies are, some pics... anything you feel that might be relevant to who you are or define yourself to be.

[hr]

So I will start...

My name is Aziza and I am 40 years old. I have 4 children, 1 grandbaby, 4 nieces and 1 nephew... and consider them all my children. Sewing, embroidery, crocheting, knitting and beading are pretty much all I do... besides researching and finding new things on the Internet.

this is me Aziza...



this is part of my sewing, creating center before I relocated it... If I took a picture of it now, you might get scared at the mess! hahahahahha


Also, I am very interested in history and genealogy.


Looking forward to seeing everyone else's posts!

[Awotunde]

Well, thought I'd get in here. My name is Baba Fawesagu, Awotunde Dosunmu Yao Faseyin. I am a 36 year old proud parent of two (male child and female child). I am a Babalawo in the Ifa tradition of West Afrika. I am also a Bokonon which is like a Babalawo in the Vodun tradition. I am also a priest of Sango (kawo kabiesi) and Egungun (Ancestral Priesthood form Oyotunji Village lineage). I have a degree in marketing and I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer though I only contract from time to time in that profession.

I am the author of five books on Afrikan spiritual tradition and spiritual-cultural nationalism. They are:

Iwakiri: The Quest for Afrikan Spirituality
Ajo Inu: The Inner Journey Beyond the Quest
New Afrikan Vodun Vol I: Rites of Spiritual Nationalism
New Afrikan Vodun Vol II: From Kintu to Muntu
New Afrikan Vodun Vol III: A Social Discourse Towards Spiritual and Cultural Reconstitution

I give letures and workshops concerning our Afrikan tradition of Ifa-Vodun with particular emphasis on a nationalistic approach and application to the traditions which we practice and which are our birthright.

I am the founder of the Damballa New Afrikan Vodun Ancestral Order or Egbe Egúngún Vodun Adúláwö Tuntun. We also have a prison outreach called Egbê Olùrànlôwô Àwon Elêwön. I am also the founder and owner of the New Afrikan Vodun website at www.newafrikanvodun.com.

Modupe for allowing me to share some things about myself. My bio can be accessed at http://www.newafrikanvodun.com/bio.html.

Greetings Awotunde, [smiley=blackicon_hello.gif]

Thank you so much for sharing! I too was in the I.T. Industry, however I never attempted to receive my Certification. I only stayed in the position for about 2 years, when I just could not take anymore of the office politics and the discrimination anymore ( I was the first and only African woman in the department and one of 4 other Africans).

I have visited your site many times and thank you for all the work and information you have put out for edification.

Peace and Blessings!
