Emon Fowler

“I live for beauty, music, and healing. Hairstyling, a lucrative and liberal practice has been the fuel that’s supported all
three and the most high has been the in the drivers seat from the start. Her story began in Chicago IL, styling both
relaxed and natural hair. In 2002 she moved to New York City to amplify her knowledge of natural hair care and passion
for the microphone. For this young lady, traveling to Brooklyn was like traveling to the Mecca of hair and music. Fowler
secured advanced Afro Hair training @ Gye Nyame Hair Gallery. It was in Bk that this sister had the supreme honor of
recording with hip hop great MC Lyte, who has been a mentor and sister of hers ever since. By the end of her pilgrimage
Emon was a vegetarian fascinated by food and its ability to work with or against the body temple.

Emon wanted to learn more about ancient beauty science and see the world. In 2005, she went east across the Atlantic
Ocean to the United Kingdom to study at Steiner of London, world leader in maritime spa industry. This endeavor would
cause a major paradigm shift as Emon allowed herself to witness American customs from a worldly perspective. “I was
surprised by the mass amount of ignorance that had been revealed to me, the additives in our foods and cosmetics should
be approved by self, community, and then government.” Emon worked as a barber and teeth whitening technician on
cruise. She nurtured her inquiring mind by talking to herb doctors and agricultural scientist from all over the world.
Upon her contract completion, Emon left her cosmetic bag of superficial measures to make people appear to look better
at the port of Miami, FL. With wisdom she accumulated through conversation and applied awareness she made a
conscious choice to practice African holistic beauty…Exclusively.

Queen Mother maash t amm amen

Realizing that very few restaurants catered exclusively to the Vegan/vegetarian consumer, Queen Mother in 1994,
expanded the Tchea brand to include a vegan restaurant. Additionally, to promote a new line of soybean based
textured vegetable protein, Queen Mother penned her first cookbook entitled, So Soya (the products trade
name).

In late 1996, as this a counselor and entrepreneur was performing her regular nightly meditation, beautiful
flowing movements begin to dance in her mind. She took note of them and recorded the movements. This was
the genesis of the Het Heru Healing Dance. Since that time, Queen Mother, who with the expert guidance, has
worked to cultivate and refine the movements into a healing, rejuvenating dance – a workout. Evidently
“beautiful flowing movements” have touched and transformed many lives. Through teaching centers, Queen
Mother has elected to spread of Het-Heru’s joy to women in various cities. Spiking DVD and video tape sales
demonstrate her audience’s enthusiasm for the Het Heru Healing Dance.

Over the last twenty years, the Queen Mother Maash-t Amm Amen has used the Het-Heru Healing Dance to assist
women with their reproductive health, and show them how to transcend traumatic experiences. Throughout the
years, she has taught classes and counseled couples, helping them to live spiritually balanced lives.

Presently Queen Mother facilitates Staying Young Anti-Aging lectures. She has also recently completed her second
book entitled, Het Heru Healing Dance: 11 Movements of Peace, Pleasure and Healing. This women’s health
advocate remains steadfast in her determination to contribute to the well being of others.

Queen Mother Maash-t Amm Amen is one of the queen mother’s of the Ausar Auset Society
International, a Pan African organization with branches and affiliates in over 40 U.S. states
as well as London, Trinidad, Bermuda, South Africa and Ghana.

In the late sixties Queen Mother Maash-t Amm Amen was an aspiring actress who had
worked with renowned director such as Joe Papp and Bill Duke. With this track record,
Queen Mother had a promising career ahead of her. However, she felt the need to change
direction and uncovered an interest in women’s emotional and physical health. In her
mission to help transform women’s lives, Queen Mother, after over 30 years, continues to
counsel women. She launched her holistic healing career when she began spiritual studies
that would eventually lead her to become a queen mother.

Under the tutelage of the renowned leader of the Ausar Auset Society International Ra Un
Nefer Amen, Queen Mother expanded her latent business talents. She opened Foods Divine,
a health food store, now called Tchefa Health Food Store which thrived as one of the first
African-American owned health food stores in the black community.

Dr. Paul Goss, founder and president of New Body Products, was the eighth child of ten born to Sam and
Annie Goss in Canton, Georgia. He was raised in a company town called Alcoa, Tennessee.

He received the basis for an international education not in the poorly funded segregated school, but from
two African Elders. Doc Mitchell, the Root Doctor and Ms. Bellamy, the Herb Lady. They were root
workers, one who knew the value of herbs and how to apply them. Influenced by his teachers, Dr. Goss
became an organic chemist for a large company after attending Stillman College in Alabama.

By 1965, he developed an impressive client base as he shared his self-taught knowledge of herbs and
holistic healing. In 1976, he established NEW BODY PRODUCTS, maker of C.K.L.S, in Compton,
California.

When I was 16 yrs young, I was diagnosed with an disease that caused me alot of pain and grief. I was told there
was no cure but stress and poor eating habits could make it worse. Being from a very Spiritual family gave me the
insight to believe that I did not have to suffer. So one day I put my hands on my aching spots and prayed, I prayed to
every name for God that I knew, I prayed and chanted to be delivered from my sickness. It went on for hours until I
finally went to sleep. When I got up the next morning I felt no pain at all. I was free and totally healed and was not
bothered with the pain again.

It was then that I begin to understand the power of prayer. I continued on my spiritual journey seeking to find the
truth about THE MOST HIGH. Thru my life I worshipped with every spiritual system and searched to find the ways
that the first people, the Ancient Ones lived. I became a Sacred Women (thru the Great Mother Queen Afua) and
learned about The Great Healer Sekhmet. It was around this time that I also learned about Reiki. My Spirit was
telling me to take some classes and the Reiki class just stood out to me. I became a Reiki Master in 2000 but
being the African Queen that I knew it wasn't right to give the credit to that healing modality to the Asians. We know
everyone has taken our secrets, our culture, our ways and tried to label it as there own. So thru my work with
SEKHMET I begin to hear a call very loudly to bring Reiki to our community and give our ancestors their proper credit.

I begin sharing these lessons in the Kemetic tradition two years ago and have received much more insight about
the practice as well. RA SEKHI is the name that was whispered to me to call this ancient healing art, because the
practice deals with RA, the Universal Energy that sustains us all and Sekhem, which is our individual Life Force
Energy (also called Chi or Ki). Ra Sekhi teaches us to be conscious of connecting our energy to the Universal
Energy, being in tune with the Universe. Living in Amerika (especially in the cities) wears down our Sekhem and
keeps us unbalanced. Ra Sekhi teaches us to build and balance our vitality, our aura, and Aritu (chakras). We
should be conscious of Energy, how it works, and how to manipulate it to bring balance and harmony. Ra Sekhi
shares this overstanding with us, as well as how to heal ourselves wholistically using prayers, chants,
concentration, focus, symbols, palm healing & natural elements like crystal, oils, incense, and colors as our tools.
Ra Sekhi shows us how to heal our physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental bodies. The Attunement starts you in
a detox process to clean the toxins within and around you. It also works to heal past lives, and connect you to your
higher self and your Spirit Guides.

I am thankful to be able to share what I have learned with others, because we need healing as a community. I am
told that the more people who are dealing with this high level of energy work, the quicker the balance will come to
our families and our communities. Ra Sekhi increases the power of those who are healers and Spiritual Warriors
which is what we need to fight the Spiritual war we are in right now.

I have a vision to build a healing compound to teach and bring natural healing to our community. Contact me if you
would like more info. We are also accepting donations toward making this vision manifest into reality. We
appreciate your connection and support in advance.

Kajara Assata Nia Yaa Nebthet a child of SANGO AND SEKHMET. I am sent to this
realm to bring light, I am a student of Great African Healers Queen Afua, Dr Llaila Afrika, Dr
Sebi, Queen Ayaba Bey, and other great Spiritual Mothers who have helped remember the
Ancient Ways of our Ancestors. I have been a vegetarian for about 19 years, I teacher and
Mother for 18 years, an artist and craftsperson for 17 years and a spiritualist forever. I have
studied and worshiped in almost every spiritual tradition I have found and so I consider
myself Universal. I feel that names divide our people and there are people who live in MAAT
and call themselves Kemetic, Rasta, Yoruba, Akan, Vodoo and many other things. When we
chose to live in righteousness and truth we carry on the traditions of the Ancient Ancestors.
When we chose to call on our Afrikan Gods and Goddesses we gain the power to overcome
all obstacles and manifest our higher selves on this realm

Dadalana Mujaji is one of the newest additions to the A Life of Peace Family of instructors.
Her goal is to enlighten African people in re-learning the methods of growing food, living
holistically, survival methods and other necessary elements that will move African people
to a state of holistic self-sustainably. She begins this task by taking the education/
lessons she has learned and applying the wisdom of the elders in our community.

To begin with, Dadalana has always had an interest in nature. She graduated with a
Biology Degree from Drake University but found it hard to work in laboratories where
animals (or parts of animals) were being used in experiments. She loves life, the study of
life, but is not willing to participate in killing in order to advance her learning.
Unfortunately, there were not many biotechnology jobs for those who are conscious of
animal suffering.

Dadalana began to move towards something more wholistic. She wanted to learn how to help people with out
the sterile environment of the laboratory. She began her quest by working at a local nutrition store. While
working there, she began to hear the testimonies of people who used herbs, vitamins, and diet therapy in
order to heal themselves of various medical conditions. Dadalana became fascinated with natural healing.
While training for the company, she found that memorizing herbs and understanding their uses was
something that came natural. Soon, study became a hobby, and then developed into a passion. Seven years a
go Dadalana decided to pursue a career as an herbalist.

She began building her library, became a vegetarian, and worked at different herb stores and traveled to
different farms in order to learn how to grow and use herbs. One of the places she went was to a 3 month
Herbal Submersion internship at Herb Pharm. For 3 months Dadalana worked on an 80 acre Organic medical
herb in exchange for hundred of hours of herbal study courses. On her return, she completed the course
work become one of a few African -American Master Gardeners for the Missouri Botanical Center. There she
learned the ways of plant classification and organic growing methods.

In 2007, Dadalana had a knowledge of the human body and the knowledge of plants as medicine however
something was missing …the knowledge of self. As a volunteer for A Life of Peace (ALOP), she began to learn
about wholistic healing from an African perspective. She has had the honor of working with Dr. Akua Gray,
Queen Afua, and Dr. Africa in order to enlighten herself to the methods and philosophy of African people in the
Alternative health industry. With this experience she was able to see what types of healing our community
needs and as she created programs for the St. Louis Area. In 2009, became the Director of ALOP – Midwest
region she completed the ALOP Holistic health Consultant Certification, and became an instructor for A Life of
Peace Wellness Institute. She is also the co-host of the Dr. Akua Gray Experience on Inner Light radio.

Often African people fail when trying to solve the problems that occur in our community because as Dr. Africa
puts it “We are using European ideals to solve African problems.” With this in mind Dadalana has created a
community garden programs and a holistic teaching philosophy that nurture the minds of those who
participate in ALOP Programs in 2010. She looks forward to sharing her future projects; an online herbal
store, a garden guide, and a vegan nutrition guide with the national holistic community in 2010.
