Princess Ademide Adinasse

the Yoruba Priestess

Iya l'Orisha Sangofunmilayo Ademidemeji

A woman who is in full possession of her mind, is responsible for her thoughts and actions, and is unafraid of bucking the status quo is a dangerous woman. Such a woman is a force of nature. She creates whirlwind of change in individuals, communities, and systems just by being herself.

From Princess Ademide Adinasse: 

"Trust that I am merely being myself.."

Her Royal Grace, the Princess Adinasse, or “Yeye” as she is fondly called, is a globally recognized activist of the West African royal blood lines and ritually initiated into the mysteries of several Orisha/Irunmole in the Ifa/Orisa and Dahomian Vodun traditions.  The Princess credits not only her Ori and Ancestors, but Shango, the fire and thunder Irunmole, for whom she is a vessel.  The fires of Sango are balanced by the cooling waters of Oshun, the River Irunmole.  Prior to her restoration, the Princess or "Iyalade" was best  known as Iya Shangofunmilayo Ademidemeji, a Yoruba Priestess and african activist.

Princess Adinasse is the first known African American divided by the trans-atlantic slave genocide to be restored to her royal roots using traditional restoration rites.  These rites in the past have been reserved for those of the royal bloodlines separated by wars.  Her Grace has been reunited with her family in West Africa and is working to build a bridge between the Motherland and her children in the Diaspora.

In addition, the Princess is a published author, whose work is featured in "Voices In The Whirlwind" and "Motherwit", Women’s Anthologies of Writers Of The 21st Century”  for the Saving Our Children Project and other mainstream publications. Princess Adinasse refused compensation for her work and donated back into the work of the Saving Our Babies  project because she is serious about the need for us to call on the power of our ancestors to heal our minds, bodies and souls to affect positive change in our children who come behind.

She is in demand not only a Princess who brings the message of reconciliation from the Traditional Rulers in West Africa, but a  Priestess, mentor,  radio and television personality, retreat and workshop facilitator and lecturer. The Princess has a great passion for our people and their healing and an uncanny capacity to reach our people where they are.  Princess Adinasse also conducts rites of passage programs for women and aids in birthing Afrikan Women’s Societies.

The Princess has dominated many issues that may have felled  much weaker women , which she  addresses in her lectures, workshops, webinars and radio program.  Her radio shows, webcasts and podcasts are insightful, and her guests always include personalities who provide with her  wonderful and lively healing dialogue which range from the practice of Afrikan Traditional Ways to the spiritual history behind our history to healing ourselves and any other subject which may come to her mind, or she can sit back and have one of her famous  “Sistah” and “Brotha”  chats with her guests and audience.

The Princess plans  to host a series of "SistahCasts" and co-host a radio show  with other wonderful Sistahs, who will give their viewpoints on various subjects.  Princess Adinase also plans a show and podcasts  which teaches us the 7R’s of aligning our minds, bodies and souls in holistic living.  Her methodology is at a pace which many of our people can identify with and incorporate into their own lives.

The Iyalade additionally has worked with women in Nigeria and the United States to raise awareness and other educational tools, along with birthing the "Mama Cancer Foundation of Nigeria's Secretariat, Diagnostic, Treatment and Research Complex. Iyalade Adinasse has been given many kudos on her bedside manner, assisting women diagnosed with Breast Cancer and helping them find their way.



Also, she is also the Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Afrikan Sistahs Enterprises, International, whose popular holdings include Afrikan Sistahs Marketplace, Afrikan Sistahs Media Network, YORadio and Afrikan Sistahs Publishing, along with Afrikan Sistahs Tours and The African Gateway Travel. Afrikan Sistahs Marketplace, an advertising and media outlet for the promotion of black owned goods and services and will reopen grandly on-line in January 2008.  Her dream is to be the media outlet and publisher/producer  of choice for all people  of Afrikan descent and to build an internet media network for people of color along the lines of NPR.

 The Afrikan Women’s Marketplace is an Advertising and Public Relations firm tied directly to countless mainstream media outlets and print media.  She also Chairs a non-profit for the education of African children and the reconciliation of our people( African Children's Empowerment (ACE) and the ADRProject (African Diasporic Recociliation Project). Through the ADRProject, The Princess and her family in West Africa hopes to be able to direct other Diasporic Africans home to their roots, where Benin Republic stands prepared to bestow land and citizenship.
