Karmen Naccerato-Idaho USA
Before I birthed my red drum, I had no idea that it would be one of the most empowering and significant experiences in my life.
The first time I heard her voice, a feeling of peace and of being complete filled my entire being. When I pick her up, from the very first beat I feel her link up and connect to my heart and solar plexus chakras and it feels like coming home.
I am honored to be able to bring this experience to other women.

Erica Nunnally- Rhode Island USA
I am a ‘rootless’ Medicine Woman. I practice ushta medicine. My ancestors are indigenous peoples of North America — Nansemond and Choctaw — as well as Irish and West African (primarily Nigerian) peoples. Although I came into this life with proclivities toward animism, energy work, and earth based medicines, I had no exposure to the medicine people of my ancestral lineages who might have taught me the ways of our people. Thus, my ownership of ‘rootless’ — to be without one central source.
