In this event, we will talk with Mother Gunzolandê (online), an important "Mãe Criadeira" (mother responsible for the education and initiation of newborns) in the Redandá Candomblé House.

Mother Gunzo, as she is called by her kids, is a non-binary woman LGBTQ+ priestess and has a lifelong journey with gender equality inside the Candomblé houses and anti-racist struggle in São Paulo,  Brazil. Her daughter Kaloyá, will host the event and will share an Opening Orácle reading session.

The evening will also host a  performance piece by Lion Zion called “Dança para Exu” and delicious Acarajé (traditional food) made by Sabor da Lillyi - Taste of Bahia.
