Funmi Iyanda Likens Beyonce’s Photo to Yoroba Deity Mother Orisha

Veteran broadcaster, Journalist cum blogger has reacted on the three generation photo posted by ace American singer, Beyonce.
She likened the beauty that reflects from the photo with the Yoruba mythology of Orisha , the mother deity.

“There is no deity like the mother. Orishas are not long suffering doormats or self-flattening emotional martyrs. They are deities. Full of power, subservient to no one, knowing that only in her own fullness can she bestow gifts of life, love, energy and power to others. Only the most deserving man gets to be with her as long as he recognizes his role is to embellish her,”

“She is self-replenishing with the support she is able to inspire from the constellation of humanity she stays connected to. She is not an isolated self-sacrificed cloying emotional mouse trap for her children, biological or otherwise. Her world is large. It is a nuanced, complex and beautiful understanding of womanhood and motherhood, more civilised, kinder and truer to a progressive human condition.it is one l too wish l had understood or been taught earlier in life. #orisha #yoruba #grammys2017 #beyoncé#motherhood #yorubamythology #nigeria”.
