Resa “Cinnamon Black” Bazile, Second Queen of the Spirit of Fi Yi Yi and the Mandingo Warriors

Dublin Core

Title

Resa “Cinnamon Black” Bazile, Second Queen of the Spirit of Fi Yi Yi and the Mandingo Warriors

Description

A tribe may have a Second Chief, who will have a Second Queen. Queens are not necessarily related to the chiefs, but are women who are skilled in beading and the performing arts of masking. Fi Yi Yi is unique in that it recognizes Bazile as Voodoo Baby Doll Second Queen. There is no other group that has such a position, which acknowledges Bazile’s multiple identities as a Voodoo Queen, a Baby Doll masker, and Second Queen of the tribe.
