E má jẹ̀ẹ́ ká tori àmín, pàdánù aṣe Let’s not lose Àṣẹ because we learned to say Amen or Amin. Before borrowed words, we already had power in our tongue.

Yorùbá is not just a language. It is a people, a culture, a philosophy, a spirituality, a way of seeing the world. Many things celebrated today existed within Yorùbá long before they were renamed elsewhere. If we knew even a fraction of ourselves, we would value what we have more deeply.

It is now a practice for me that anytime I touchdown in Lagos, I must go to Nike Art Gallery. Such a breath of fresh air ❤️❤️

I can tell you what Job went through and what Moses said… but ask me about my own great-grandfather and I’m blank. That imbalance is how a people lose themselves. Ẹni tí kò mọ̀ ìtàn ara rẹ̀, ti sọnù. Ṣàwárí araà rẹ (Whoever doesn’t know their story is lost. Discover yourself)

Ìyàwó á bí ọsàn, Ìyàwó á bí òro. ọsàn(orange) here represents female, as it has many seed while Òro(wild mango) represents male as it has one seed.

I wear agbádá because someone fought for me to never forget it. Every stitch, every song, every proverb we still have is proof of strength and survival. What they fought to keep, we carry forward.

Ori in Yoruba methodology refers to the spiritual intuition and destiny of an individual, often personified as an Orisha. It is believed that Ori guides a person's life and aligns with their character

If we truly knew who we are as Yoruba people, we wouldn’t be searching for identity elsewhere. We’d be protecting, celebrating, and building from what we already have. Ọmọ Yorùbá sà’wárí ara re
