Isis (Dana) Brantley was born in Dallas, Texas during a time of racial turmoil. She and her siblings were reared by their hard-working Christian mother who inculcated values of honesty, independence and a strong work ethic, giving them all the integrity and potential necessary to escape the “projects” in which they were reared. Isis attended school in Dallas, and went on to attend North Texas State University (now the University of North Texas).
Isis is a natural mother; the community at large calls her, “Yeye”, an African term meaning, “Good Mother”. She heads a single-parent family of five wonderful children, two girls and three boys, ranging now from the age of 16 to 26. Her oldest daughter, is presently pursuing a Graduate Degree in film at Columbia University (New York). Her youngest son is pursuing an under graduate degree in music at Univ. Southern Calif.—while the other three children are actively pursuing careers in the entertainment business.
Isis taught and reared her children from an Afro-centric world view which focuses on value of family, village togetherness, warmth in spirit, the joy and magic of their musical inheritance and the beauty of their ancestral “hair-itage” (their natural hair and the power it brings!).
Isis followed Alex Haley in search of her roots: she discovered she is a direct descendent of the Malinke Mandingo empire. In 1996 Isis undertook a spiritual quest and attained full initiation and training as an ancestral high priestess in the Ifa tradition of Yoruban culture; she is the manifestation of Mother Osun (“Oshun”), the deity causing creative act in nature through sensual beauty and loving care of the children. In this capacity she mentors other young women in their spiritual quest and longing for closure in their self-identities as Black women in America.
She is a community activist and God-mother to many young people, young men included.
She goes to senior citizen homes and centers annually to braid their hair and entertain them. She encourages little girls to embrace their kinky and nappy hair by introducing them to simple loving techniques in grooming. Her cultural song and ritual stage performances are always the highlight of summer in-the-park celebrations.
Isis will be on our show live tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern/5 p.m. Pacific. She will be talking about her lawsuit against several officials with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation claiming that they were infringing upon the constitutional rights of African hair braiders to teach hair-braiding.
