Note from The Mami Wata Healers Society Temple of Mawu: Wezolo! Aenouledoo. Our American-born Founder, Chief Hounon Amengansie Mama Zogbé Durchbach briefly entered into the African-American lecture circuit that was held in Atlanta, GA and the surrounding areas in the early 2000s, with earliest known appearances in 2002. This is a reconstructed article which shows her with her contemporaries and identifies her amongst her peers, as one of the first American Vodoun priests to discuss African Tradition and Culture from a purely traditional perspective. Akpeloo!
