Students will learn about the Orisha, the gods that originated from the Yoruba People. The topics covered will be: 1)The Supreme Creator of the Orisha 2) The Female Orisha 3) The Male Orisha 4)How worship of the Orisha spread all over the world 5)Stories featuring the Orisha 6)Places where the Orisha are still worshipped today. This will be an academic look at the gods and is not meant to convince anyone to worship these deities. My class will be structured first among the hierarchy of the gods and then their history and the stories featuring them. I will teach mainly using images and storytelling, in addition to discussions with my students. My teaching style can be described as interactive. Learners will get to interact with me through images, slides and discussion. No required experience or knowledge needed.

I have been a researcher of African history since 2011. I am also a researcher at the African Art Museum at the Smithsonian for the past 2 years. Furthermore, I have taught and given lectures on African History and Mythology outside of Outschool for several years. In addition, I myself am Nigerian and while I am Igbo, I grew up in an area that had a lot of Yoruba people so I got to experience Yoruba culture and Orisha festivals first hand.
