Healing Humanity, Janet “Sula” Evans, Medicine Queen of the Spirit of Fi Yi Yi and the Mandingo Warriors
This suit, Healing Humanity, honors Asase Yaa and Babaluaye. Asase Yaa is mother earth in the West African Akan tradition and the Twi language. Invoked to heal the planet and humanity, she is typically depicted with a pregnant belly, which symbolizes hope and blessings for the future. Babaluaye is an orisha, or force of nature, that also heals, sweeping the earth clean from pestilence and disease.
