ImanAshanti

Hey, whats up? I am Iman Ashanti Beyah aka "ImanAshanti" aka #5FootFoodie. Food and lifestyle influencer, children's book author, Air Force veteran, sports lover, world traveler, movie addict, forever big kid at heart, and extreme consumer of all types of art. Born in Pacoima, Ca and raised in Atlanta, Ga, with a vast amount of experiences in between, my goal now... simply to spread love. 

I've considered changing the name of my brand from my name ImanAshanti. I have been torn with my name my whole life. Plus, who do I think I am using my own name, right? But then, I really thought about my name. My parents chose it from an African name book that I still have to this day. "Iman" means faith. I’m not sure of your beliefs but I feel you should always have faith, no matter what you believe. "Ashanti" is a historic kingdom that covered all of present-day Ghana and portions of Togo and Cote D’ivoire. They controlled trade in the area which mostly involved gold. Amazing, right? So my name is not only connected to my family, but also my ancestors and beliefs. All things I want to flow through me as I bring products, news, tips and events through my brand.

Love. Faith. Strength. Pride. Culture. Food. Creativity. Unity. Laughter. Fun. Intelligence. Community. Growth.

Welcome to ImanAshanti, where we stand by all of these things. I hope that here you find something to inspire.
