poet, essayist, an accomplished-published author 
and lecturer, afrikan story teller, afrikan hair skulptress,
sketch artist,
afrikan doll maker, and sekere crafts-woman
and performer. her one woman show has rendered her critics quoting, "...not just
entertainment but an educational extravaganza."
khandi played the roll of sarah in the outdoor
production of blue jacket, the only black female character
in a cast and crew of over 85 persons.
below, Mama Khandi is
pictured on stage, at a local cultural festival, with her theater company,
khandi & Friends. 
she taught, lectured, administrated, counseled, tutored,
mentored, and performed for the independent afrikan school system, for which she
co-founded 4 independent afrikan
schools in 2 states, 3 cities and Jamaica. Her experience has prepared her
to interact on all age/ethnic levels with all types of people, sharing her vocal
harmonies and her afrikan-turtle islander-washitaw ancestry through song. born
in richard allen city
(philly, pa), where she is alumni of ile ife cultural arts center,
theater advocate and company (model cities-ile ife colaboration with the church of the advocate), mother
of 14 children, she offers the maternal intimate blend necessary to make any
residency not only culturally educational, but also exciting to see and hear;
producing soothing, relaxing, rejuvenating atmosphere for your listening
pleasure....
...an experience that renders "souls to harmoniously inner-intra-inter-lock."
