Becoming Olokun

I was born in Central Texas, a rural community called Gatesville. When I was a baby, my nickname was meat. Round, fluffy legs, rolls for days, and a cute squishy face with plump cheeks. I was Queen of “pitching fits”, crying, kicking, and wailing seas of tears until I got what I wanted. It wasn’t until I was a young mother that I understood that my tears had medicine when I was called to the Gold Coast-Atlantic Ocean to breathe, think, die and be reborn, in Africa. It was there that she called me home, and I began becoming Olokun.

Yemoja’s Medicine

I left Christianity at the age of 19, as a teen mother of 2-sons. So many unanswered questions with a yearning and desire to feel my existence fully. I fell deep into the abyss of nothing, controlled by fear, trauma and warped in time. It was Yemoja who caught me while falling, embraced my being, stroked my soul and brought me home to her bosom while, I, found, me. The journey she brought me through, in 14-years, is nothing short of miraculous.
