* Princess Adinasse is the Iya Shangofunmilayo Ademidemeji.


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.

Princess Adinasse is the first known African American separate 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.

Additionally, 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 as 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 ability 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.

Princess Adinasse is an over comer of many issues that may have felled much weaker women. She addresses not only these matters in her lectures, workshops, webinars and radio program. Her radio shows 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 will soon co-host a show, with other wonderful Sistahs, who will give their viewpoints on various subjects. Princess Adinase also plans a show and webinar which teaches us the 7R’s of aligning our minds, bodies and souls in holistic living. Her approach is at a pace which many of our people can understand and embrace.
