They Are Near. They Are Listening.
Iya Omitosin is a powerhouse of wisdom — a true light in our community.
I’m proud of her growth as a healer, an Iyanifa, and a businesswoman. She has deeply blessed my life — and the lives of so many others.
She is one of the many powerful voices I quoted in my book, Meditations Across the King’s River, published in 2024. Her insight is timeless, and her courage is contagious.
A Voice of Healing, Truth, and Ancestral Power
Lately, I’ve been revisiting a Facebook Live conversation we had about two years ago. So many gems surfaced — teachings that are both spiritual and deeply grounded in real life.
In the video, Iya speaks about our connection to the ancestors, reminding us:
Spirit communication doesn’t have to be complicated.
To connect with your ancestors, she offers this sacred guidance:
✨ Set a clear intention
✨ Create sacred space for them to come
✨ Trust the messages
She also shared something deeply personal — how years of people-pleasing manifested in her body as fibroids. And how healing began when she chose to speak up.
Healing Begins When We Speak the Truth
We need to speak up.
We are living in times when right-wing forces are trying to silence our voices and erase our stories. We cannot let them. This is not the time to shrink.
This is the time to remember who we are — and to call on those who walk with us but are unseen.
Our ancestors are near.
They are listening.
They are speaking.
They want to help us rise, not just for ourselves — but for the generations to come.
Watch the Conversation
Here’s a short video with Iya Omitosin. I encourage you to watch, listen, and reflect.
Are You Listening to the Call of Your Ancestors?
Take a moment to reflect:
— What stories are you being called to share?
— Where in your life are you still silencing your truth?
— How might your ancestors be guiding you right now?
Let’s Rise — Together
I’m looking forward to hearing from you — your reflections, your stories, your voice.
With love and in power,
James
