When I heard Bey say this, I immediately thought of how she started #Lemonade. “I tried to make a home out of you.” For as much as we love Lemonade, it is a painful and *hard* story. Yes—the healing is glorious but the road there is a dark and painful.
Today, I sat and learned more about Olokun from a wise and gifted teacher. In Yoruba land, Olokun has dominion over the deepest parts of the seas—the darkness that is vast and full of boundless potential.
