I was born the middle child of Curtis and Francine Stovall, between my sisters, Aisha and Rachel.

My mother homeschooled her children and raised us in a strict Christian household. My father taught us the value of entrepreneurship, waking up early, maximizing every hour of the day, eating healthy, and making family time a priority.

One of my earliest memories is from when I was four years old. I dreamed of ancient African medicine men and Buddhist monks working together in an African village. A light came to me and said, “Heal the women. Treat them well.” That dream stayed with me.

Growing up, I struggled to accept Christianity because I had so many unanswered questions. As a teenager, I developed a death wish. Yet even during that period, I found deep fulfillment in helping people through their pain. Compassion has always come naturally to me.

Studying music at Laney College gave me the confidence to leave the church. In music, I experienced a kind of perfection through scales and harmony that changed the way I understood God. I came to believe that God is a vibration rather than a judge.

From there, I immersed myself in dance, music, and martial arts, eventually performing in hundreds of shows.

I also studied biology and psychology because I believe that when you understand yourself, you begin to understand the universe. Along the way, I developed many skills—drumming, dancing, massage therapy, and cooking—but who I truly am is a light worker, reminding people that heaven is a grateful and blissful state of mind.

In 2016, I joined the Daktari Dance Medicine Collective, where I met Priestess Victorious Wanjiro. She had been building relationships with families in Ghana creating medicinal wellness and repatriation communities through an organization called Universal Family Network (UFN). I became the first person to repatriate, joined her team, serving as her assistant.

For many years, I dreamed of living in the forest, using my body to survive and coexist with nature. I believe modern life has caused humanity to become spiritually weaker because we’ve lost touch with the natural world. Whenever I reconnect with nature, I reconnect with myself.

While attending massage therapy school, I developed a practice I call “Sol Charge”. It combines physical, mental, and emotional activities designed to strengthen the whole person. Participants sing, exercise, meditate, solve brain teasers, overcome challenges, play games, and build genuine human connection through shared experiences.

Sol Charge grew out of many influences in my life: my father’s commitment to family time, church, summer camp, meditation seminars, and the moments when I felt most spiritually alive. I wanted to bring those experiences together into something I could share with people who simply needed authentic time together.

I began practicing Sol Charge in California during the COVID-19 pandemic. Coming to Ghana became another Sol Charge experience for me—a lesson in discipline, relationship-building, and personal growth that gave me even more to share with others.

Working with Universal Family Network has been a tremendous experience. Our work includes maternal care and home births; village tours; boutique and cultural experiences; visits to the slave dungeons; assistance with purchasing land; language classes; educational programs; sound healing; massage therapy; womb-care retreats; youth job training; homework support; youth talent showcases; performance ensembles; the promotion of African handmade arts and crafts; and nutritional wellness education.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: healing begins with genuine human connection.
