college grad daughters, performer, columnist, writer, radio personality, ordained interfaith
minister, Queen Mother & Elder High Priestess of the Afrakan Kemetic temple Sacred Shrine of
Mwt Ast in Trenton, NJ (co-led by Imakhu Atef HruKhuti Geb Ast). She is also an initiated African
Water Priestess, who celebrates the flow of life and honors the quest for peace. Imakhu has
overcome personal difficulties through goal setting, self-evaluation, a focused will, and the
reclamation of her own personal power and health. As a result, Imakhu has coached many on to
self-improvement while continuing on her life's journey.
Imakhu recently retired her own Internet radio station (AKERU! NuAfrakan Network) , and online
magazine (AKERU! NuAfrakan Magazine), in order to fully commit to her Water Woman tour and
her writing. Imakhu continues to produce and host her own syndicated Internet radio show and
community/Internet TV show ASHE!, celebrating African culture and personal empowerment.
Imakhu has also been her own business agent for the last fifteen years. Imakhu achieved her
dreams while facing heartbreak, financial devastation, betrayal, health challenges, and abusive
relationships. Today at age 46, Imakhu shares the triumphs of how she continually overcame
life obstacles to achieve her dreams and inner peace. (View Imakhu's full bio.)
