Iya Tahirah Abu Bakr is an 84-year-old renowned Elder, an initiated Priestess in the Yoruba tradition, and the founder of the St. Croix Council of Elders. Iya Tahirah is also a healer, teacher, storyteller, diviner, shamanic practitioner, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

In part two of our interview with Iya Tahirah, we dive deeply into her calling to educate around healthy and sustainable ways to nourish our mind/body/spirit.

Iya says, "when I change what's in me, I'm able to change the world around me." She leads us to embrace the power of self-love and self-healing, and the importance of defining love in ways that serve us and of fostering healthy communities. Let's get to it!
