Assata is a Black & Indigenous Two Spirit mama of her own little savage daughter, and as a Clotilda descendant still proudly lives on her ancestral lands just outside of Africatown, AL.

After over a decade on the road in the music industry, Assata returned home in 2018 to embrace her calling as a Medicine Woman and has since expanded, founding and executive directing Savage Daughters. In addition, she serves on the Board of Directors for HEART and is a Senior Organizing Fellow at  Muslims For Just Futures.

She has an immense love for music, liberation, sacred motherhood,  writing, true crime, southern accents and all things floral. 

Living in an interfaith family, she describes herself as an offering of alhamdulillah and hallelujah while still being firmly rooted in her traditional Yoruba and Chahta spiritual practices.

Mechelleen is a proud Clotilda descendant, devoted nurse and lifelong resident of Mobile, Alabama.  A single mother of two, she leads with love, resilience and an unwavering sense of purpose rooted in her heritage and faith.  By day, she brings healing to others through her work in healthcare and by heart, she is a joyful explorer of life’s many flavors, stories and rhythms.

A true foodie and avid traveler, Mechelleen finds beauty in every bite and wonder in every new place.  She’s most at peace with a good mystery novel in hand and the smooth sounds of ‘90s R&B playing in the background.  Her faith grounds her, her children inspire her and her ancestors walk with her every step of the way.

Whether she’s showing up for her community, dancing in her kitchen or dreaming up her next adventure, Mechelleen lives life with a full heart and an open spirit honoring the legacy she carries while carving a path all her own.
