Queen Najla performing with Gene Walker and Listen For The Jazz All Star Band at Hot Times Festival 2009
During her 20 years of studying African Dance, Transcendental, & Guided Meditation, Queen Najla found the numerous similarities in these ancient & modern practices. She further realized that the awareness and presence we bring to each task we engage has the capacity to transform it into meditation.
Queen Najla is also an 'AWARD WINNING' children's African Dance and Drumming Choreographer.
