Born My-Ja K. Younger (crowned by my grandma) many have asked what is that my Spiritual name, my ifa given name. “Adétútù Ayọ̀mí — The Crown That Carries Peace”
I was not named in noise…
I was named in stillness.
Before the world told me who I had to be,
before survival wrapped itself around my throat,
there was a quieter truth—
one that did not shout…
but settled.
Adétútù.
The crown did not come to weigh me down—
it came to remind me
that I was never meant to bow to chaos.
I have worn exhaustion like royalty,
mistaking sacrifice for love,
pouring until my hands forgot
what it felt like to be full.
But that was never my inheritance.
I am the cool after the storm.
The hush that follows what tried to break me.
The breath that says—
enough.
I do not chase peace anymore.
I become it.
And where I walk,
things soften…
not because I force them to—
but because I no longer fight what I was born to carry.
Ayọ̀mí.
My joy is not a reward.
It is not something I earn through pain,
through silence,
through holding what was never mine.
It lives here—
in my chest,
in my breath,
in the sacred knowing
that I am allowed to exist
without bleeding for it.
I am not the woman who breaks to hold everything together.
I am the woman who stands—
crowned, calm, and clear—
and lets what is not aligned
fall away without guilt.
I speak now.
Not loudly—
but truthfully.
And that is enough to shift worlds.
Because my voice is not chaos—
it is alignment.
My presence is not burden—
it is order.
My spirit is not heavy—
it is holy stillness in motion.
Adétútù Ayọ̀mí. ☮️ 🦢🧜♀️🤍🙏🏽
I remember now.
