The Yoruba are a Nation in South Western Nigeria, parts of Benin and Togo. In their religion, the Orisha are sprits sent by Olodumare (he who dwells in the heavens) for the guidance of all creation and humanity on Earth (Aiye). Most Orisha have either existed in the spirit world and then become incarnated as human beings on Earth, or humans who are recognised as deities upon death due to their extraordinary feats in life. Closely associated with Vodoun of the Fon and Ewe, the Yoruba religion is also practised in the New World as a result of the Atlantic slave trade and are now expressed as Santería, Candomblé, Trinidad Orisha, Umbanda, and Oyotunji, among others. This coloring book takes some of the more popular Orishas and depicts them in as much splendour as possible for your pleasure. There are 22 pages in total including: Olodumare Obatala Shango Osun Yemaya Oba Oko Osayin Erinle Eshu Babalu-Aye and many more.

Shango came over to America in the hearts of his devotees. They did not choose to make the middle passage, but many of them survived it because they had Shango's example of one who could beat any odds and make any situation advantageous; Shango exemplifies the Philosophy of "When Life Throws Lemons at You, Make Lemonade." His capacity to adapt, to break with old modes, to be individualistic and iconoclastic, makes shango a perfect divinity for the new world, for all of these are traits that have helped us survive and thrive. It is in this spirit that I brazenly claim shango as our beloved paradigm. The most popular orisha in America.

"Winter Santiaga hit time served. Still stunning, still pretty, still bold, still loves her father more than any man in the world, still got her hustle and high fashion flow. She's eager to pay back her enemies, rebuild her father's empire, reset his crown, and ultimately to snatch Midnight back into her life no matter which bitch had him while she was locked up. But Winter is not the only one with revenge on her mind. Simone, Winter's young business partner and friend, is locked and loaded and Winter is her target. Will she blow Winter's head off? Can Winter dodge the bullets? Or will at least one bullet blast Winter into another world? Either way Winter is fearless. Hell is the same as any hood and certainly the Brooklyn hood she grew up in.
