I would like to call on the
Orishas/May Legba open the
gates to this invocation/CALLING:
Oya/Yemaya/Oshun/Shango
Please guide our hearts/Our souls/
our movements/Our financial literacy/
Our consciousness/ Our pens
So that we the people
may do right by the Ancestors
I am giving calm water to
drink from/I’m asking that our paths/
homes and lifelines be refreshed in Haiti/
Cuba/Japan/ Uganda/Gori /New Mexico/
New Orleans/New York/ New Jersey/
Indonesian/for we are dancing in
your name MOTHER
