West African Goddess: Mawu - The Imposter

Have you ever wondered how the world began? Well, the Ewe and Fon Africans had some pretty interesting theories on the subject. This ancient folktale tells of the great Goddess Mawu, and her difficult job of creating all, all, all.

Her research on ancient goddess and heroine folklore inspired me to revive this tale—unknown to many, yet so important for our female legacy. Unlike my mother, I am not an anthropologist.
