I About Empress Omi

I Am Yeye Ifafunmilola Omitoke Oyatomisin Egbefunmi Faluade Anikinnikun, affectionately known as Iyabo Kiyaa, serves as a beacon of wellness and spiritual empowerment. As the daughter of esteemed practitioners—Yeye Osunlade Fatunmise (Mama Torkwase) and Master Yirser Ra Hotep Lawrence of YogaSkills Kemetic Yoga—have intricately woven ancestral wisdom into the fabric of my life’s work. This legacy propels me to honor and uplift our shared heritage through the arts of healing and wellness.

I am humbled to be the wife of Chief Baba Fashola Faluade Anikinnikun of Ifatorise Temple International, and I proudly lead YogaSkills Atlanta LLC, a premier Kemetic Yoga institution, alongside my venture, LuxLife Wellness LLC. Having been initiated into the sacred traditions of Ifa, Iyemoja, Oya, and Egbe, I carry the stories and teachings of our ancestors into each session and interaction.

As a nurturing mother to three remarkable adults and a grandmother to two beautifully gifted girls, I cherish the essence of family and community. For over two decades, I have been devoted to mastering and teaching Kemetic Yoga under the profound mentorship of my father, Master Yirser. My journey is enriched by my skills as a private chef and caterer, allowing me to create nourishing experiences that celebrate diverse cuisines and cultures.

My continual quest for knowledge has led me to attain certifications in herbalism and health coaching through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). My professional background as a corporate catering director honed my leadership and organizational abilities, further deepening my impact within the community.

Guided by spirit and lineage, I have spent the past seven years engaging with individuals as a healer, trainer of Kemetic Yoga, and advocate for our rites as spiritual beings. Growing up in an African-centered home in both Chicago and Atlanta has imbued me with rich experiences, instilling in me a commitment to live life with an open heart, mind, body, and joyous spirit.

I Am Empress Omi is dedicated to empowering Black Indigenous People of Color on their profound journeys toward health, wealth, and holistic well-being. It is my sincere hope that together we can journey towards enlightenment, understanding, and authenticity.

Ase!
