Get over it. When you’re a Goddess, your presence is loud and you’ll be seen whether you like it or not. So why not own it? Stop shrinking and start basking in the spotlight. Don’t let being seen drain you, let it strengthen you. Envision yourself as a flower and envision the spotlight as the Sun, that is here to bring life, vitality, recognition, praise, prosperity, creativity, abundance and nourishment into your life.

Ọbà, Ọya & Ọ̀ṣun

Oba is the Orisha of marriage, domestic life, loyalty, and sacrifice.

Oya is the Orisha of Winds, storms, transformation, death/rebirth.

Oshun is the Orisha of Love, Beauty, Prosperity, and Fresh Waters

The heads in Yoruba art are often disproportionately large. This intentional distortion is a fundamental characteristic of the artwork and is based on philosophical and spiritual beliefs. The Yoruba believe that the head, or orí, is the most vital part of a person, containing their inner essence, destiny, and life force. So i thought it might be fun to make the heads of my silly designs larger to reflect this!

I don't know how many people are aware of this but Queen Aminata's ring gear tonight was an homage to a very important spirit (or orisha) in the African Yoruba religious tradition named Oshun (or Ọṣun). Oshun is the most popular & venerated orisha in the Yoruba religion, associate with love, sexuality, fertility, femininity, water, destiny, divination, purity, wealth, prosperity & beauty, and is always depicted wearing yellow and usually in or near or commanding water.

If this looks familiar to you, it's probably because Beyoncé makes multiple references to Oshun in the Lemonade visual album. Probably the most recognizable is in the video for "Hold Up" where she emerges from a building in a yellow dress with water rushing out from behind her.

SO COOL to see Queen Aminata be able to represent her African heritage in such a beautiful way. AEW is a pretty cool place to work!
