Preview: Bayo Akomolafe tells of "meeting" Yoruba stories for the first time

Born into a Yoruba family in Nigeria, Bayo Akomolafe is a philosopher, advocate, teacher, and deep observer of our world. After graduating summa cum laude in psychology at Covenant University, he was invited to take up a lecturing position. Instead, Bayo embarked on doctoral research into Yoruba indigenous healing systems, struggling to regain a sense of rootedness to his community. In this excerpt from our forthcoming interview with Bayo, he describes discovering the stories of his people and culture as an adult -- after growing up in a post-colonial world shaped by Western values and ideas.  #stories #storytelling #africanstories #africanstorytelling #yoruba #nigeria #nigerianculture #alternativehealing #colonialsm #postcolonialculture #bayoakomolafe  #westernculture
