Milli Cannata's upbringing under the guidance of her Cherokee grandmother, Locita Faye, a descendant of the revered Naneyhi (Nancy Ward, The Beloved Woman), is deeply ingrained in her spiritual faith and respect for nature and tribal traditions. This background parallels the ethos of the OYDA tribe of Ethiopia. Additionally, Milli's engagement with Christianity through Baptist and Lutheran churches broadened her perspective on the influence of religion and theology in shaping lives and cultures. This has enabled her to identify a commonality across various religious and spiritual beliefs, often associated with owning a sense of harmony within.

Inspired by Naneyhi's legacy, Milli is committed to aiding those in search of inner harmony as they strive to own their dreams. 

While conceptualizing her consulting hub, Milli Cannata was introduced to the Oyda tribe of Ethiopia, which fortuitously shared its name with her venture, Own Your Dreams Academy (OYDA). This coincidence resonated deeply with Milli's Cherokee upbringing. The Cherokee tradition emphasizes interpreting coincidences as messages of confirmation you are journeying along the "Red Road" — a metaphor for a life path aligned with natural harmony and spiritual balance. This cultural ethos, grounded in a profound connection with nature and ancestral wisdom, became a cornerstone of OYDA's philosophy. 

OYDA's approach integrates these tribal practices, focusing on personal growth, enlightenment, and inner liberation. The academy's teachings are designed to help individuals navigate life's journey while staying true to the principles of natural harmony and ancestral insights. This fusion of the Oyda tribe's reverence for nature and Cherokee wisdom forms a unique foundation for OYDA, guiding individuals toward a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationship with the natural world.
