Ọya: Something Happened On The Way To West Africa!
Follow my journey as a Queer Gender Non Conforming Nigerian as I connect with Òrìṣà tradition (African God/dess) and the powerful legacy of my great grandmother, Chief Moloran Ìyá Ọlọ́ya. This personal and political story vibrantly investigates the heritage of command, mythology, gender fluidity, Queerness & the hidden truth behind the power of indigenous Yorùbá spirituality.
