Seeking refugee:

For a long time I did not understand my 'Dharma', nor did I want it.
I was FOUR when I told my mother that I could hear 'God's Voice' inside me.
She told me GOD WOULDN'T REST IN SUCH A VILE PLACE. 

I was 7 when I said mommy I wanna be 'Mother Theresa', she said you are not CATHOLIC and you are not a white woman from Calcutta. 

I was 13, when I started to clean those around me.
My mother told me you will have baby after baby and I am not visiting you

(Its true I have babies I am a school teacher not biological children, and she has not come to see me, she came to judge) 

When I turned 15, I moved out and have not looked back. 

I was 18 when I decided to do something about my spiritual conversation 

8yrs to the day later I went through the first steps and received ilekes for Yemonja.

I believed nothing.

I did not believe in the idea of possession, Orisha, god nothing.

Then I was initiated 8-4-2007. 

The next day, I saw hope, meet joy, understood why....

Today I stand as a child of Orisha. 

Today I make light that which God has manifested

I am the shall that protects the tongue of the Osa. 

These words right now are hard-to swallow....
