Baba Obafemi FayemiA native Houstonian, the father of four boys and a former Sunday school teacher now  I carry a degree in both education and political science. A former international athlete, I established myself both in Europe and S. America as an exceptional basketball player. I retired from Corporate America as a manager in 2004.

I am a Priest of Ifa, the godson of the late Oluwo Dr. Afolabi Adeyemi Epega, a 6th generation Oluwo and past heir to the royal throne of Ode remo, Ogun State, Ijebu land Southwest Nigeria. I intensified my studies into the culture of Africans both here and on the Continent under the instructions of Dr. Afolabi Epega. My exposure to other local and national historians positioned me to utilize my natural gift for communicating and translating information from the academicians to the everyday neighborhood folk. It was inevitable that I would become one of the most dynamic teachers in African history and Spirituality in the Houston area.

My regular travels to Africa, have established me on both the east and west coasts as a trusted Life Coach and spiritual counselor. My belief as a priest of Ifa, and a member of the AME Church under the direction of the Rev. Anthony T. Jackson of Talking Drum Ministries, has helped me to show individuals how God speaks to them through signs and symbols; the Wisdom of Nature. 

My belief, is that one's salvation lies in the awareness of self, understanding one's purpose and the knowledge of your ancestry. I believe the best system is the system that works best for you. I pray that the system you choose incorporates the wisdom of Africa, the science of self and the source of all things. My goal is to reach those who are open minded, progressive and seeking knowledge within God's ever changing world. 

May you walk in Ire. Ase Baba Obafemi Fayemi
