IleOduduwa the Source was present at the nineteen annual garthering of the African Diaspora Ancestor Commemoration Institute this year to honor and celebrate ancestors lost during the middle passage. This was the first time IleOduduwa the Source participated and covered this magnificent event with members of Odu’a Organization of Michigan to experience the spiritual, emotional and educational uplifting such an occasion elevate the human sprite and be in tune with your ancestor and for me my Yorubaness. This event reminds me of the annual event that takes place every year in Osogbo, in Osun state call the Osun-Osogbo festival in Nigeria.
