QUEEN MOTHER DAYA IS NOW AN ANCESTOR

January 21, 1938 - April 10, 2026


Mut Daya made her transition to the ancestral realm on April 10, 2026, in Uganda. She was the go-to Colon Therapist in the 80s in Harlem --- Before many of us became conscious or holistically inclined, she was already doing the work. She was a trailblazer. She was Pre-Internet, Pre-cell phone, and Pre-Social Media. I was not able to find any interviews with her on YouTube !! Many practitioners have shared endearing pics of her and shared stories of her healing hands working wonders. As a Chapter, we truly owe a debt of gratitude to you for leaving the breadcrumbs of wellness for us to follow. Upon her shoulders we stand, continuing to work wonders of healing with our hands, words, and an example of a holistic lifestyle.


Thank you so, so much!


Queen Mother Daya, aka Maama Anjupita Virimo

Consider doing a seasonal detox. We have all made some indulgences, so it's time for a detox. Book your colon therapy appointment, do your juicing, and possibly a week or two of natural living so the body can release all the junk. If not, the body will self-detox as a cold, flu, or whatever your health issues are. Don't hesitate to contact our member holistic health practitioners and wellness centers if you need any guidance to detox. It must be done correctly, especially if the patient is diabetic or on medication.


While in many parts of our nation the COVID-19 variant is rampant, let's keep our immune system in tip-top shape with lots of alkaline water, vitamin C & D, and Multivitamins for starters!



Please get in touch with your local holistic health practitioner for any suggested herbs, supplements, and dietary clean-up for wellness and prevention.

We’re 17 Years Young! 🎉

Today, we proudly celebrate 17 years of empowering our community through holistic health, cultural wellness, and collective healing.

Thank you to all our members, supporters, and healers who’ve been part of this incredible journey. We’re just getting started! 💚🌱

Let’s continue to build, heal, and rise—together.

MUT ZAKKIYAH MADYUN HEALERS HEALERS SUPPORT INITIATIVE


Because of the increasing number of Bros/Sis in our Kemmunity that we are losing to death, following a period of battling a serious illness, in circumstances where the AHH Kemmunity-at-large was unaware that the individual was even sick, a few of us have been having the discussion that WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING to address this crisis.  


We've decided that as members of the African Holistic Health Chapter, we need to make it our responsibility to look after our members’ health and vitality when called upon, as 'WE ARE OUR BROTHERS' KEEPERS.'  As most of us are students of the teachings of Heal Thyself, Smai Tawi, and Dr. Afrika, we must remember that our healing is in our culture. We have many Healers in our midst who are qualified to successfully tackle the progression of almost any illness or disease, even Cancer.  We cannot let Bros/Sis get sick, disconnect, and hide in the bushes.  We have to rise and speak on their behalf.  


To this end, we have created a Committee: WE ARE OUR BROTHERS' KEEPER. Becoming a member of this Committee simply means that as Healers, you commit to offering your healing skills, tools, and knowledge to aid the Bros/Sis of our Kemmunity who might be suffering from a chronic, life-depleting illness. Initially, that means offering them a free, confidential Health Consultation at the time of their health crises. Once it is confirmed that their health crisis is stable and they have had the free consultation, then all services rendered by any of our AHH Healers will be charged the going rate of each Healer. All Healers who participate on the Committee must be in Good Standing (membership dues paid and current).


If you opt to participate in this Committee, you will be regarded as a Healer-in-Residence and accept the responsibility to make available your healing skills, tools, and knowledge to aid the Bros/Sis of our Kemmununity who might be suffering from a chronic, or debilitating, health crisis.


Zakiyyah MaaKhepera-Ast Madyun has made herself available to head this Committee. All AHH Members who wish to register should complete the Registration Form and submit it to Zakiyyah, via email: theherbalist1750@gmail.com



With Love, Gratitude, and Respect, 

ThAnkh You & Much Mrr (Myrrh/Love)

Chapter's High Standards of Excellence & Professionalism

By Baaba Dr. El Ha Gahn



Embraces and promotes

 A High Standard of Excellence and Professionalism



We are committed to upholding the highest standards of excellence and professionalism in all that we do. Our values define our identity, shape our behavior, and guide our interactions with others. We deeply appreciate and honor individuals who demonstrate a steadfast commitment to these principles, as they are the foundation of our success and the key to our collective growth.


  1. Integrity Above All: We are honest, transparent, and accountable in all of our actions. We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards, maintaining truthfulness and honor even when faced with difficult situations. Our word is our bond, and we follow through on our commitments with unwavering integrity.
  2. Excellence in Every Endeavor: We strive for excellence in everything we do, continually seeking to improve ourselves and our work. We embrace challenges as opportunities to learn and grow, setting ambitious goals and achieving them with precision, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of quality.
  3. Respect and Collaboration: We believe that mutual respect is the cornerstone of strong, effective relationships. We honor the diversity of thoughts, backgrounds, and experiences within our community, working together to achieve common goals. We actively listen, value differing perspectives, and foster an inclusive environment where everyone is empowered to contribute.
  4. Professionalism in Conduct: We conduct ourselves with the highest level of professionalism, demonstrating respect, courtesy, and maturity in all interactions. We maintain a focus on solutions and results while managing challenges with grace and composure. Our professionalism reflects in our communication, decision-making, and approach to our responsibilities.
  5. Accountability and Responsibility: We take ownership of our actions and outcomes, both individually and collectively. We recognize that success requires commitment, effort, and discipline, and we accept responsibility for our contributions to the team’s success or failure. We hold ourselves and others accountable to ensure continuous improvement.
  6. Continuous Growth and Learning: We are lifelong learners, committed to personal and professional development. We actively seek new knowledge, skills, and experiences that will elevate our abilities and broaden our perspectives. We encourage a growth mindset, embracing change and innovation as keys to progress.
  7. Service-Oriented Mindset: We are dedicated to serving others—our colleagues, clients, and communities—with integrity, humility, and a focus on positive impact. We approach every task with a sense of purpose, seeking not only to meet but to exceed expectations and to leave a lasting, meaningful impression.
  8. Courage and Innovation: We are bold and unafraid to step strongly in pursuit of growth and progress. We challenge the status quo, explore new ideas, and innovate to improve our methods, services, and products. Our courage to change and evolve fuels our continuous journey toward excellence.
  9. Recognition and Honor for Upholding Our Values: We recognize that those who consistently uphold these values set the standard for others to follow. We deeply appreciate and honor individuals who demonstrate these principles with passion and commitment. By embodying these values, you not only contribute to the success of the organization but also elevate the collective spirit of excellence within our community.
Dr. Afrika Speaks on the Death of Black America
Remembering him three years after his passing
As a Chapter, we promised to keep his work alive. He taught the community for many years to heal with nature. We have done an excellent job, but many students need to start using their healing skills for many reasons. He tasked the Chapter to be a safe space to help build confidence and incubate those needing support to develop their practice. Due to Covid, many requests come for holistic health referrals, but we need more practitioners.

Dr. Afrika wanted us to support and care for each other as students, practitioners, wellness center owners, and teachers. If you can work with teams of practitioners, there is a place for you in the Chapter. If not a practitioner, we are always in need of volunteers.

Dr. Llaila Afrika sanctioned us to form a Chapter. He intended for us to "Make it so" our mission of holistic health education in communities of color, and we have tried not to disappoint; we hope you agree.

JOBS IN WELLNESS


Create More Income Doing Work That You Love and that Inspires You!


In 1981, when I first graduated college, my first job was a manager at a staffing agency. I majored in Health Administration because I knew that I wanted to eventually run my own business. It gave me pure delight to call up all of the people that I knew and register them to work to supplement their income while caring for others. 


I think it’s amazing that what will likely be my last job here at The Wellness Galaxy will be an assignment that creates the same result.


In this newsletter, we will introduce you to a new concept Agency offering part-time jobs that blend health and wellness. 


When I became a nurse almost 40 years ago, there was no internet, no holographic, state-of-the-art imaging machines, and very few holistic career options. 


In addition to my current work in hospice, which is gratifying in itself, I have traveled a career path that still fulfills and energizes me. 


Next year, I will celebrate 40 years of nursing that started in newborn nursery/Pediatrics and will end with Hospice.  


This journey is one of the magical stories that we will share with you in our Anthology

                      

“The Future of Wellness is Here”  


So I have to ask, how would YOU feel if you could create work that you love, inspires, and fills you up by incorporating natural healing practices and skills? 


At The Wellness Galaxy, we love to train healing facilitators and love even more to support them in finding gainful employment using their healing arts skills. 


We’re excited about all of the wonderful job opportunities that we have discovered and that are being created.


Over the past year, The Wellness Galaxy has partnered with Empowerment Support Services Group LLC., the Department of Health, and Guided Steps Inc. to create a wonderful opportunity for holistic professionals to earn income in many ways. 


You can also participate in FAST-TRACK training for new skills to earn supplemental income or extra money for special occasions.


The Fall Equinox is the time of HARVEST—it’s time to reap the harvest you have been sowing in your wellness career.



EMAIL US IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN WORK OR FAST-TRACK TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES: 


  • Part-time healing work in home care 
  • Part-time healing work in a community setting 
  • Part-time healing work at retreats and health fairs 
  • Learning about products and services. 
  • A FREE 8 DAY, PCA Certification Training 
  • A FREE 15 DAY, HHA Certification Training 
  • A 30-DAY Wellness Doula and End-of-Life Doula Training 
  • 1-year LPN or 2-year RN Licensure Program. 
  • Reserve a copy of the Anthology book/workbook

Would you like to feel more vibrant and energized? Look younger? Transform your dreams into your reality? Transform family and personal traumas into healing opportunities? Create an “innerstanding” of what your body and food are trying to tell you? Create a more tranquil home and workspace that is also toxic free?


My name is Nfr KaRaa. I have been a licensed clinical social worker for almost 40 years. My background has included working as a school social worker for the NYC public schools in the Bronx while maintaining a wholistic private practice with children, adults, couples and families. I implement a variety of traditional and wholistic approaches. My professional training includes an undergraduate degree in psychology at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, M.D. (’79) plus a masters degree in social work at Hunter College School of Social Work in N.Y.C. (’81). I am also certified in hypnotherapy, play therapy, polarity (an energy- based healing system that includes reflexology, cranial sacral, dream interpretations,utrition, etc.) reiki, pranic healing and neurolinguistic programming (NLP). I have also been trained in aromatherapy, naturopathic, crystal work, sound therapy, EFT (aka tapping) and Queen Afua’s sacred woman program. I have also studied our Kemetic history/mdw ntchr (aka hieroglyphics) and African martial arts called Kupigana Ngumi. The trainings for these wholistic techniques were by experts in the wholistic community such as Dr. Llaila Afrika, Dr. John Beaulieu, Rev. Phil Valentine, Mfundishi Jhutyms, Jeff Noble, Dawson Church and other trainers through the Open Center in NYC.


I have also traveled throughout various countries in Africa, Europe and Asia, the Caribbean, Canada and across the United States. I have always felt it is crucial to travel and study in a diversity of places in order to be more culturally sensitive to the people you are working with. 


I provide experiential and didactic presentations/consultations/environmental assessments for corporations, community organizations, spiritual organizations, rites of passages, etc. I also provide individual/couple/family sessions implementing a combination of techniques from my traditional clinical and wholistic trainings. I also infuse aspects of cultural awareness; raw food/vegan food preparation; making your own natural deodorant/facial astringents/hair & body oils; conscious shopping demonstrations and instructions plus transforming your home to be green/people friendly as well as be your own personal oasis. I only use natural based companies in my practice such as Young Living Essential Oils, Shaklee natural based supplements, household cleaners and personal hygiene products as well as alkaline water machines.


I share my story above as it is related to my role in serving our village as a person who is equipped to support those who are inspired to create a new “life map.” I am the translator for what the interaction of your mind, body and soul are trying to communicate to you through “dis-ease,” the foods you crave, challenges in relationships with family members, partners, children, friends and co-workers. My diverse background allows me to help guide you through the obstacles between you living life to thriving and flourishing in your life to its fullest potential!


Give yourself the gift of growing into your greatest you!

About the Practitioner:


I am a cycle breaker, a mother, grandmother, community mother, healer, and guide devoted to helping women reconnect with the deep wisdom of their bodies. Inspired by my own journey of healing and the memory of my mother, who passed too soon - I teach women how to honor their cycles, create sacred Moon Lodge spaces in their homes, and practice self-care that heals across generations. But this is not just women's work. I believe the whole family - husbands, sons, daughters - plays a role in honoring the feminine cycle. Through my work, I invite families to co-create a home where women are supported, respected, and given the space to rest, reflect, and heal during their cycle time. By teaching boys and men to honor and uplift the feminine, we heal old patterns and build new legacies of love, balance, and understanding.


​At Happy Healthy Parents Network, LLC and Cycle Breaking Wound Keepers, my mission is to help women and their families break generational patterns of disconnection by teaching them to live in harmony with their natural rhythms. I am dedicated to guiding mothers, daughters, grandmothers, husbands, and sons toward a new way of living - one rooted in respect, spiritual connection, and shared healing - so that the whole family can thrive together, body, mind, and spirit.

About the Practitioners:


Life Strength & Health was born out of a vision that poor gut health can negatively impact the quality of your life in so many ways. If you are able to tap into your body's natural healing abilities you can you can unlock the key to feeling your best and overcoming your health challenges.


We have worked with thousands of clients over the past 20 years and one of the most common causes that we noticed with our clients was the direct connection between their health challenge and their gut health.


While they understood that adopting a holistic method for improving their well-being was the right path, they had essentially been left to speculate about the steps to take. They had been following current health fads or consulting with various healthcare professionals, but unfortunately, none of these efforts had yielded positive results.


We understand that each and every one of us is a unique being. A health approach that works for one person may not necessarily work for another person. That is why we take a personalized approach to gut health. This has allowed us to have coached thousands of people just like you to feel better and improve the quality of their lives by improving the quality of their health.


So if you're ready to feel better and enhance your life's quality through a customized gut health approach that caters directly to your health requirements, allowing you to sidestep feelings of being overwhelmed and frustrated, and instead achieve health triumph and an improved well-being,

ABOUT THE PRACTITIONER:


When Dottie was just a child, she remembered noticing how her family in North Carolina treated various illnesses and sickness with natural herbs, foods, juices and other homemade remedies. There was very little dependence on a doctor and this sense of continual gleaning from the earth sparked Dottie’s interest in natural healing. She began to look at other cultures around the globe and acknowledge many of their ancestral practices that seemed to work rather well for them. Before transitioning into eternity, Dottie’s mother strongly encouraged her to further her education and study more about nature’s gifts.


Upon moving back to New York, Dottie did just as her mother had advised. She attended college and gained all her certificates to become a Holistic Practitioner. Dottie is well versed in various areas of holistic health including an array of therapies, Iridology, Reflexology, and Advanced Pranic Healing Reiki. What makes Dottie different is her desire to share her ever expanding knowledge with others through continuous study and good conversation. She truly seeks to see clients and customers receive the best that nature has to offer and undoubtedly believes that natural products/services produce naturally beautiful results. Thus is the passion behind Earth Wellness360.

Time Traveling, Tension, and the Stress Response

by Brother Jaja Bolden


Rise in Awareness,

 

Once again, it’s your favorite out-of-the-box, yet within-the-sphere, massage therapist returning with another inquiry into our daily activities and mindsets.


How often do you time-travel without leaving your immediate space, like entering a sentient gel capsule that travels through time-space?

If you ponder it for a moment, your immediate answer should be “often” or “more times than you wish to count.”

Seems far-fetched?

Why?

You probably did it while reading this, then just popped back to the present. Sure, some may call it daydreaming and they are correct. However, upon deeper investigation you are literally time-traveling—recalling past experiences and living in those moments or projecting new experiences based on past recollections to possibly escape the present, sometimes intentionally—and other times beyond your notice.

Kind of makes sense?

And why does this matter?

Think about it this way: when we are present in the moment, doing a task, we experience the following:

1) strengthening of neural bonds in response to a specific real-time situation

2) a sense of accomplishment as we complete a task or move near completion

3) building practical cognitive abilities

4) balanced, or close-to-balanced, use of nutritional resources for mental processes and physical movement

…all tied to that specific moment.


However, when we drift off into our memories and take our minds off what we are doing in the present moment, we may accidentally drive a power drill into our neighbor’s apartment, pour scalding coffee into our lap instead of our cup or create undue tension in our thoughts while sitting at the desk.

Yes, that part—the part about creating undue tension in our thoughts.

Before we go any further let us establish a workable definition of time itself, for the sake of avoiding a lengthy debate. Let us say the following:

“Time is recognized through change—often seen as motion or cycles in space—and measured by comparing one change to another. An observer is needed to mark or describe time, but not necessarily for change to occur.” —ChatGPT and me

I invite you to proceed with me using your imagination and personal experience as a fellow human, to consider the effects of ‘time-traveling’ and the impact it that can have on us in the present, which invariably may have a strong effect on our mental well-being. Quite often when we TT, we start off with just a budding thought about something we experienced, causing that thought to begin sprouting depth and weight in our minds.

Basically, this makes whatever we are conjuring become real in a moment when we are already experiencing another reality—or another moment.

And this is important to note, because somewhere between the two realities we decide to fully invest our senses and emotional content. I am sure you can agree that, within those passing moments we do not realize we are beginning to TT.

Time itself, as we call and define it, can be seen as the passage of objects in relation to one another. In the case of daydreaming, or TT, we are seeing full scenes of objects passing one another and interacting. In those instances, we start to register time, or duration, which widens the depth of our perception and sense, encouraging an experience that has density.

Weight.


It begins to weigh on our minds—especially if it is an unresolved issue.

The flow of nutrients into cells begins to shift as our heart and synaptic rates seem to escalate to 88 mph—the speed needed to initiate TT. Reels of scenes whiz pass your mind’s eye and it one flash—you are Back in the Future.

In addition, our senses naturally captures the weight being projected in this virtual scene, giving it as much confirmation as we would give the real world.

From here, our sense of emotion begins to track and shape how we feel in the moment, remaining capable of stirring physical responses. As if a faucet has been opened, our hormones are released as the inner scene continues to gain emotional weight. The scale is tipped into states of importance transferring psychological weight into physiological mass.

Those physical responses may trigger the stress response loop, causing a cascade of backlash against our neuromuscular and emotional bodies. Breath changes, muscle tension rises, vigilance increases, focus narrows, and if the cycle repeats, the system can stay overexposed to stress hormone.

All from projecting into the timestream stored in the brain.

So the next time Doc pulls up in the DeLorean and says, “Jump in,” think about whether that trip is necessary for your mental health.

Here is one-in-the-moment exercise to help interrupt “time travel” before it builds into an adaptive response.

Exhale and press

This helps calm the body before the stress response builds.

Do this:

  • Put both feet flat on the floor
  • Gently press your feet downward for 5 seconds
  • Slowly exhale longer than you inhale
  • Try inhale for 4, exhale for 6
  • Repeat 3 to 5 rounds

Why it works:

The foot pressure gives the body a present anchor, and the longer exhale helps reduce escalation.

Rise in Excellence, this is Jaja with 331 Wellness Strategies, we create organic systems for your organic system. As massage practice we do not HACK the body’s ability to heal, we simply REMIND your consciousness about the body’s ability to heal.

I’d like to introduce you to one of my favorite success stories, shared by one of my previous NLP students.

In this video, you will hear the story of a woman who used NLP to harness her inner power to deal with a terribly traumatic experience.

On the next page, you will also find other videos from previous students sharing their NLP success stories.

CRIPSY CHIPOTLE TACOS


In 2018, many white vegans were mortified about the debut of Black VegFest. They raided media platforms trying to prevent it from happening. But little surprised me. I was always way ahead of it. Once you know how reactionaries work, you understand they can only follow your chess moves. white supremacists don't appease or placate, they gambit. Your medals and awards are a part of the strategy. Holstering for later.


But after teaching veganism in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America as a Black man, where no public unapologetic Black vegan space was Black VegFest made sense to me! This was a hard sell at first due to colonialism's grip on Black folks' food system. Holstered.


white vegans used this trope that I was ignoring the animals to focus on humans.

That was probably their best and only play at pushing white supremacy under this wise guise. When people researched me they found my first book was geared to any person going vegan and the importance of food sovereignty. And many animal rights activists had been to my organized intimate local vegan parties. Not to mention speaking at countless vegan festivals globally, years before Black VegFest. I had been on a vegan journey before the turn of the 21st century. But Black and colonized since I knew of myself. This is vegan intersectionality.


10AM EST April 2 my 2nd offering in this monthly programming series. I'm cooking: "What It Takes to Organize Black VegFest".


It's for burgeoning and veteran organizers. The kitchen is open! Kids and everyone eat free!
