Eriwoya Eriwoya,

Today, I am reflecting on the profound spiritual contributions of Osunkemi Bogumbe, our beloved International Women’s Leader of the International Congress for Ifa and Orisa Spirituality (ICIOS), from Ogunda Meji Temple in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Her life and work stand as a powerful reminder of the historical authority, wisdom, and leadership that women hold within Ifa. Her name, Osunkemi, meaning “Osun honors me,” beautifully reflects the spirit of her service and devotion.

We are always thankful for her prayers, deep insight, spiritual wisdom, and unwavering devotion to ICIOS and the global Ifa and Orisa community.

Oloye Iyanifa Osunkemi, we honor your guidance, your sacrifices, your leadership, and your enduring strength. May your work continue to inspire women throughout our global spiritual community and generations to come.
