_"You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I
am. Now that I, your Master and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also
should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you
should do as I have done for you.'"

Later in life she finding out about her Jewish heritage, Emah Naomi is of Sephardic/Ashkenazi, Igbo Jewish descent. Her maiden name is Lowry/Luria which is a derivative of the name "Levi".
