      <image:caption>This little one came up to brontë from our team with their mother as we were prepping for the ceremony and said they wanted to be a part and asked how could they get involved! They got painted as Eleggua (the orisha that opens the way for the prayers to enter so that the other orishas may hear them, the trickster that allows aché to move where it must), learned the “Ancestors watching” chant immediately and joined the brilliant children from Abundant Beginnings, radical Oakland community education program to open this beautiful evening processing candles to the altar! | Photos by AYŞE GÜRSÖZ</image:caption>
