Gail V. Zuri Sami Ra Maati Jordan


When people ask her how she stays energetic despite the 50+ years that mark her life, Ms. Jordan figures it must be the drum. In addition to teaching second grade in Atlanta, drumming continually motivates her to exemplify an Afrikan presence. Ms. Jordan is a GIWAYEN MATA co-founder, percussionist, and vocalist. Her days of drumming, rooted in her childhood, have sprouted to embrace a communion of GIWA sistahs which she is grateful to be a part. A native of Newark, NJ, Jordan is inspired through the musical and spiritual motivation of Omelika Kuumba, Director and GIWAYEN MATA co-founder.
