She came from the Yoruba People in Africa, and traveled with them to North America.
She is Oshun: an orisha, a goddess.
In this story she is born and lives with her parents.
As she grows up her joy and blessings spread to all around her: the people, the animals and the land.
But her father, Olofi, becomes jealous of and angry at her influence and Oshun must escape.
Oshun's journey helps her to become powerful and wise.
The place that we go when we are in trouble is oft.
