Hi, thanks for your thoughts and ideas. I don't disagree with you. As I wrote, I don't know anything about the Yoruba religion. I saw this one documentary, and it was my first encounter with it. I grew up ignorant about African religions and I was just glad to see it and to see a new world not seen in my life growing up. I can see you're quite experienced and have many stories to share.

I just think it is important to see new perspectives and try to open one's mind and heart to new experiences and perspectives. That was my intention when watching this one documentary. Previously too Netflix and the internet, it would be hard to find such a documentary about Africa, it's religions, customs, cultures. The only documentaries we really had showing Africa were on PBS and only had animals--lions, tigers, safari stuff. The rich fabric of its history had been muted.

I certainly don't know about Cuba or Bahia either, but I was glad to learn. One point was I was making was that it was sad that the view presented of black women in America is not one of the joyous shared in this documentary. I'm no expert, nor pretending to be. I just want to discover what is out there, and I can clearly see your experiences you touch upon are of this subject are personal, vast, and insightful, so thank you for sharing.
