The Way We Live: Head-carrying

Head-carrying is a common practice amongst African women. It not only eases the burden of carrying big loads by hand, but allows for the carrier to travel long distances without the need of a vehicle. Although head-carrying is a convenient way of carrying large loads, there are still negative longterm effects.

Yoruba follower Francisco Lemus looks out to sea as Adela Zamora, popularly known as Santera Chuchita, holds a coconut over his head during a cleansing ceremony to help him improve his health in Bahia Honda, Cuba. After moving the coconut from head to toe, Zamora broke the seed open on the ground for insight on how Lemus should proceed to improve his health, based on how the coconut shell broke open.
