INYOSI Sebenzekhaya (b. Nia O. Witherspoon) is the daughter of Marcia Ostrow and Anton Witherspoon. Her medicine flows through her as a writer, song channel, womb-tender and bodyworker, dreamer, creative doula, and Kundalini Yoga teacher–a conjuror, a weaver, a shaper, a nurturer, and a creator supporting mental, physical, and spiritual health by way of deep transformation. Ancestrally guided through the Afro-Indigenous teachings of the Ubungoma lineage, and called to be of service since childhood, INYOSI is a deep listener, an empath, and a natural care-giver. A living testimony and devotee of the body, of Mother Earth, and of the Divine Feminine, they continue to heal through the activated remembrance of the inherent perfection and divine cyclical nature in all things in the continued alignment with the frequency of LOVE. INYOSI is inspired by her ancestors like “Big Joan” (Hattie Moses) who rowed boats through the swamps of South Carolina in the middle of the night to tend births and “Aunt Micey” Oree Witherspoon, who healed the body and spirit with prayer and rain water. In the White Phase of their initiation process, they are stepping into a new level of spiritual responsibility; a deeper level of listening, a higher level of trust, and the graceful flow of submersion into the Sacred Waters to rise up as the Queen Bee that Brings the People Home to the Hive, the translation of her name.

Out in the world, she is a published author, maker of ritual-theatre, composer, dramaturg, and writing instructor. Her first book, The Dark Girl Chronicles: A Trilogy will be released in Fall 2025.
