Ayé ń lọ, à ń tọ̀ ọ́.
I debated adding a soundtrack to this episode because I wasn't ready to show you this part of me. I didn't feel it was great because I have never delivered a whole piece in Yorùbá.
But I know better.
I promised to show you all of me, and this is also a part of me. This part of me struggles to connect with her culture in this saturated world she lives in. This part of me desperately seeks for simplicity because the pursuits of this world are too complicated. This part of me wants to be free.
This poem talks about the insignificance of life; how humans huttle about doing nothing in glorified importance. If you are human, take this as a cue to rest. Are you really living the life you want, or the life you inherited?
Here's to more Yorùbá poetry! 🥂
P.S - No, I don't want to translate this poem. I don't want to translate it because it wouldn't be the same in English; English waters it down. Please just enjoy it. ❤️

Àná - "Yesterday"
This was supposed to be published on International Women's Day, but I thought, why? Not when the day after, affairs are back to "As you were".
I wrote this piece for you, ọmọlúwàbí. Know that your mothers were not docile or stupid.
Know that you did not come from a generation of slaves, you are your mothers' daughter.

Introduction to The Yorùbá Lifestyle
While the title of this podcast is "The Yorùbá Lifestyle", expect to listen to some episodes that wouldn't exactly be "Yorùbá-ish". Sometimes I'd just want to tell you how I'm feeling. Other times I'll just want to share an experience with you. However, know that all you will listen to on here are my thoughts, opinions and experiences shaped by my Yorùbá worldview. So, yeah! It's all part of The Yorùbá Lifestyle! 💃🏿
