Hey, there.
It's Nick.
This is a preview of our upcoming season.
To listen to more episodes, go to luminary link love.
She's like a black mermaid goddess with long natural hair.
Her name, mamiwata.
Like, m a m I w a T a is like pigeon mother and water.
And she is very, like, selfish in some ways and also, like, longs for a lot.
She's a bit devious and a bit vain and will maybe steal things from westerners, like, if they come to Africa.
Steal things like combs and, like, a mirror and kind of fantasize about the foreign lands and what pale skinned people's lives are like.
And I'm really attracted to water.
Like, I love being in water myself.
And there's so much, like, sadness, like, in the Atlantic Ocean with, like, people drowning, crossing the slave trade.
I was in Mexico over New Year's and went to this part on Isla Mujeres, and it was, like, the most eastern point.
And the waves are just crashing kind of violently across the cliffs.
But also the water is so blue and beautiful.
And I actually thought about Mami Wata and living in the water at, like, a place that could be very healing as well as a place that could be very destructive and violent.
From luminary media, you're listening to love and radio.
I'm Nick Vanderkolt.
Today's episode black feminist thought, featuring mistress velvet.
