Meet Our Team

Our Elders Council consist of women who have been on this spiritual/magical walk for many years. Each one of them hand picked by Mama Omi for their energy and for their desire to see Dawtas of the Moon evolve into something powerful for all black women, their daughters, grand-daughters and so on. 

The purpose of the Elders Council is to be the foundation, They are the bridge that connects us to the ancestral mothers. They help to guide us and create a safe haven for our sisters allowing each of us to feel comfortable with connecting to our own inner wisdom. The elders are a reminder that we are not practicing a fad. The elders are a reminder that we are indeed connected to something that has roots. The wisdom we receive from those roots, gives us wings to soar to our greatness collectively and individually.
