Her Story: A Path of Devotion

Onyi’s journey has been shaped by a lifelong connection to spirit, ancestral teachings, and creative expression. For over 15 years, she held leadership roles in corporate America while simultaneously pursuing the performing arts and receiving elder-led spiritual mentorship across esoteric, metaphysical, and ancestral traditions.

Her formal sacred work began in 2013, and her initiations as Iya Osun and Obatala in 2019 marked a profound activation, affirming her role as a priestess and guide for transformation. Through ONYI LOVE, Onyi now supports healers, artists, leaders, and changemakers—those who touch the people—holding space for their growth, alignment, and liberation.
