You've never met a Kemetic high priestess like this one.
Fire and water. Mold-breaking. Warm, but brutally honest. A no-nonsense nurturer preaching autonomy and interdependence. Avant-garde cultural artist/writer who is also a traditionalist. Ordained Reverend known, first and foremost, as a "Street Minister." Elegant, but earthy. Little Lady with a big voice.
Imakhu Mwt Shekemet has lived a multifaceted, challenging, yet colorful life. She shares the wisdom of her experiences in THE COWRIE BLESSINGS BOOK: Nu Afrakan Words of Wisdom. This compilation of Imakhu's enlightening, motivational articles, essays, letters, and columns for people of African (or as Imakhu writes, "Afrakan") descent educates about the nuts and bolts of Nu Afrakan living, and Kemetic and Pan Afrakan traditions. It is, above all, a guide to self-empowerment.
THE COWRIE BLESSINGS BOOK speaks to many of the controversial concerns in the Black community presented to Imakhu as a counseling minister. She also brings frank autobiographical insights into the triumphs and tragedies of the Conscious Spiritual community. As a minister and professional storyteller who understand the power of a parable, Imakhu illustrates many of her points through eye opening, often amusing personal stories. As with all of her work, Imakhu offers inspirational solutions for individual and Family growth.
