🖤✨ Thank you for gathering with us. ✨🖤
Divine Forces: Exploring the Power of the Orishas reminded us what happens when community, culture, and imagination meet with intention.
Deep gratitude to the African American Center at @sfpubliclibrary for hosting, and to our partner Brother-Story @stanfordcarpenter for helping bring this vision to life.
Thank you to everyone who showed up ready to listen, reflect, and engage with Yoruba spirituality, African diasporic traditions, and the living power of the Orishas.
Immense appreciation to our phenomenal panelists and moderators—@tomiadeyemi, revdrsys, @ayizejamaeverett, Kemi Ashing-Giwa, @clarenceahaynes, @audthentic_stories, and Dr. Stanford Carpenter—for sharing wisdom, scholarship, and imagination so generously. And special thanks to @isisasare for guiding a conversation rooted in liberation, legacy, and Black futures.
From the panels to the marketplace, this was a day of remembrance, resistance, and creative possibility. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make this space sacred. Until the next gathering. 🖤
