 Queen
is the visionary and creatress
of Ancestor's Daughters, a Women and Girls' Rite of Passage
Community Movement, located in Long Beach, California. Her creative
passion is to channel prescriptions for healing via Ancestral Doll-making,
natural roots remedies, healing ceremonies, sacred sanctuaries, Kundalini
Yoga and NU Millennium Afrakan Movement. Queen's practice with our
physical elemental bodies provides healing for inner peace, wellness
and freedom
internal limitations. Her work promotes visibility and knowledge of
traditional and contemporary Afrakan culture and education and serves
as a new global bridge for cross-cultural expression and communication.
Her meditative ancestral doll crafting
workshops and the dolls she creates for clients provide much needed
opportunities to explore aspects of our inner voice (our eternal awareness
and consciousness). The power of Queen's work and path teaches us
on all levels how to activate "the voice of the inner self."

 Zsuzsanna
Emese Budapest was
born in Budapest, Hungary, during
a big winter storm on January 30, 1940. Her
mother, Masika Szilagyi, was a medium and a practicing witch who supported
herself and her daughter with her art, as a sculptress. Masika's
themes always celebrated the Triple Goddess and the Fates, and Zsuzsanna
("Z") grew up respecting and appreciating Mother Nature as
a god. The poverty of postwar Europe and political oppression under
the Russian occupation made Z fiercely political, so when the Hungarian
Revolution broke out in 1956, she took her destiny into her own hands
and became one of those sixty-five thousand political refugees who left
the country, mostly young workers and students like herself.
She finished high school in Innsbruck, graduated from a bilingual gymnasium,
and won a scholarship to the University of Vienna where she studied
languages.
