yemanya : (yoruban)goddess of the sea

i went with my cousin to casa de cultura's yemonja festival and was hardly impressed. as a matter of fact i was taken aback by the white yemanya, oschun and nana buku dolls for sale at the front door. i have many objections to that imagery. to take an african deity and to white wash them for mass appeal is wrong and denies the true spirit of the god or goddess. the fact that yemanya plays a significant role in the middle passage saga and is being portrayed as white woman is a stab in the heart to all devotees of yemanya and people of the african diaspora.
