Queen of the Sea, "Mother whose children are fish", Iemanjá's name is intimately linked to Brazilian popular culture, although, as the feminine orixá (African deity) of the Candomblé and Umbanda religions, she is also rooted in the culture of the African continent, namely Nigeria. Among other rituals, it is common to offer her such different things as flowers, perfume, rice, or even mirrors, since she is a very vain entity and loves this exchange... The flowers are usually roses, in the colors white (peace), yellow (wealth), red (love) and blue (fulfillment). This ceremony, which serves to "ask for good luck", is also a way to honor the Queen of the Sea, Iemanjá. And who better than the actor Indya Moore - known not only for the immense talent, but also for their empathy and gracefulness -, to lead this tribute?
