Women's Journey - A Path Paved in WordsHosted by CARIB and Art by MiaSaturday, June 28, 20086:00 PMOver the centuries women have explored a variety of themes and expressed their genius in different forms. From the 1970's through the mid-1990's Women's poetry in particular, continued to gain in richness and technical maturity. Poetry that addressed issues such as struggles between men and women, family, war, violence and cultures were written and performed by powerful women. Now these women have brought it to the front lines, all are significant, brilliant and original. These ladies are innovative in the use of language and structure.

Warning!!! Some of these poems will serve as a wake up call.

Yemaya Installation at Boricua College NYC

Yemaya's Wisdom: I nurture, heal, touch, bless, comfort and make whole that which is incomplete. I am within you and you need only look inside yourself to find my eternal presence.

Yemaya is a West African creation goddess, often depicted as a mermaid. She is associated with the moon, the ocean and female mysteries. Typically portrayed as a beautiful woman, Yemaya governs the household and intervenes in women's affairs. She is a merciful goddess, invoked by women for aid in childbirth, love and healing. She rules over the conception and birth of children and ensures their safety during childhood. As a creation goddess, Yemaya's womb spilled forth the fourteen Yoruba goddesses and gods, and the breaking of her uterine waters caused a great flood, which created the oceans. From her body the first human woman and man, who became the parents of all mortal beings on earth, were born.
