Art
I am a Summerville based cultural historian, author, artist, musician, and trauma informed Kemetic yoga instructor with more than thirty years of research into Afro Indigenous, especially Muskogee and Creek, heritage. My work grows from my Hadjo family line, DNA findings, and visits to mound sites across the Southeast. An M.A. in Education focused on Cross Cultural Counseling, nutrition training, and multiple Yoga Alliance recognized certifications shape how I support communities. Through books, genealogy guidance, yoga, chakra consultations, and handcrafted cultural pieces, I share a living story of survival, remembrance, and everyday healing.
Why Choose Sufia

Deep Historical Roots
For over thirty years I have studied Mississippian chiefdoms, Muskogee history, mound sites, and Afro Indigenous genealogy.
Kemetic Yoga Practice
Yoga helped me learn to move again after paralysis, so I teach with patience, adaptation, and genuine care.
Trusted Cultural Art
My woven basket Calamus Pond Rd. earned MOJA recognition, and Elders continually seek my handcrafted items.
My Healing Path
I first met yoga at seventeen, then returned at twenty five and truly needed it at twenty eight after a work related car accident left me paralyzed for six months with three herniated discs. Studying with teachers like ASAR Hapi, Krishna Kaur, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and Yirser Ra Hotep, I learned how breath and gentle movement can support grief, fear, and pain.
My Scholar's Work
For more than three decades I have researched Afro Indigenous genealogy and Muskogee heritage, walking mound sites, combing archives, and listening to Elders. That work became books like Wind Clan Ancestors and Moundbuilders of Ancient America, tracing my Wind Clan Ancestors across eight generations and connecting relatives in the Southeast and Meso America, while guiding community members through their own questions.
