Look Out For This SistahGoddess: Nakaaya Sumari

One of the highlights of my trip was staying at the O'Neal's compound in Arusha. I will write more about them in a later post. While I was there - fresh off the mountain climb I met up with Tanzanian singer Nakaaya Sumari (Pete O'Neal's God-Daughter). She turned all of us on to her new cd called Nervous Condition and IT IS THE JAM!!! We played it all day while we were in Zanzibar. Not sure how available it is in the states but if you can find it you won't be disappointed. Her website is http://www.nakaaya.com/ Here is a video of one her songs that they play on the radio in the continent-it fits for our current situation as well...

Travel Alert! Free Trip To Zanzibar!

I was just speaking with my good friend Upsei Mtambuzi from the Oakland area last night and I shared that I was now bloggin' for the sistahs. Out of that conversation came the invitation to sistahs (and brothas) to come to her family's very beautiful beachfront Zanzibar Bed & Breakfast for her February 12-28, 2008 Spiritual and Healing Journey Retreat. I am attaching pictures because many us don't know the paradise that awaits us in our motherland. Upsei and her husband are wonderful Afrikan hosts and they will have guest teachers presenting classes/workshops on spiritual healing and yoga.

SPECIAL FOR SISTAH GODDESS READERS!

EARN A FREE TRIP TO ZANZIBAR!

If you can't make the February retreat Upesi has more events happening. You can also just come and enjoy the bed&breakfast for a little R&R. The home/center is located in Bwejuu in Zanzibar (Tanzania). Upesi has a special relationship with the community and on her site you can see a community project she is working on with our East Afrikan Sistahs. Also, support Afrikan owned businesses and travel spots - you may get more out of it than a vacation. Tell her you heard about it on the Sistah Goddess Blog.
Peace,
Sistah C
