"Brooklyn to Benin: A Vodou Pilgrimage"
Director: Régine Romain
Assistant Director: Olatoundji Fagbenro
Executive Producer: Régine Romain
Producers: WaWaWa Diaspora Centre and Trinity Empire
________________________________________________________________

"Brooklyn to Benin: A Vodou Pilgrimage" begins with an aerial view of the Route des Esclaves (Slave Road) in Ouidah, which terminates at the Atlantic Ocean. Millions of captured Africans were shipped off into slavery for hundreds of years from this location in Benin (formerly Dahomey), West Africa. In tandem to the shifting gaze from the road to the ocean, a traditional prayer is spoken in Fon, an indigenous language of the region, and is performed by Adissowé, a Vodou high priestess.

As the invocation honors the four corners of the earth and offers reverence to the mysteries of nature, a woman emerges into view. She is a daughter from the other side of the water, who has now returned to the original homeland of her Haitian ancestors. The viewers follow her slow steady walk across Ouidah beach, as she becomes the narrator and offers the historical context of the film, free of the traditional Western bias and stereotypes of Vodou and its practitioners.

The narrator is Régine Romain and she shares her three-year journey documenting the survival of traditional African religion in the Americas. Still photographs of ceremonies and shrines in Brooklyn, NY; southern United States; Central America; and Haiti are displayed. The camera then trails the narrator as she enters a shrine for Aïda Wedo, an ancient Mami Wata divinity amidst the evocative sounds of a Haitian folksong for the exact same deity, affirming that the spirits of Vodou “c’est bon,” are good.

Viewers continue to follow her journey across the sands toward the historic Door of No Return. Each step is a powerful affirmation that she is a descendent of survivors. As the narrator states “honor one’s God fearlessly,” her footsteps fade into a montage of women in traditional dress, singing and dancing in praise and devotion. “Brooklyn to Benin” creates an alternative cinematic experience of Vodou grounded in honor and respect.

How did a relatively unknown military captain become one of the most discussed political figures in modern Africa?In this cinematic documentary, we examines the rise of Ibrahim Traoré, the history of Burkina Faso, and the struggle over sovereignty, security, economic independence, and Africa’s right to determine its own future.Born in the small town of Bondokuy, Traoré began not as a politician or member of a powerful dynasty, but as a geology student and soldier serving during one of the most dangerous periods in Burkina Faso’s modern history. His journey from the front lines to national leadership would eventually place him at the center of an international debate about military governance, Pan-Africanism, foreign influence, institutional strength, and national self-reliance.This documentary explores:* Burkina Faso’s history under French colonial rule* The revolutionary legacy of Thomas Sankara* The security crisis that destabilized the Sahel* Ibrahim Traoré’s childhood, education, and military service* The political upheaval of 2022* His rise from army captain to head of state* Burkina Faso’s changing relationship with France* The Alliance of Sahel States* Gold, agriculture, infrastructure, and economic sovereignty* The difference between revolutionary promises and lasting results* Why millions across Africa and the diaspora are watching his leadershipTo his supporters, Ibrahim Traoré represents a new generation determined to reclaim African sovereignty and build stronger, more independent nations. To his critics, his leadership raises serious questions about military rule, democratic institutions, transparency, and whether bold rhetoric can produce durable national progress.Marquett Burton approaches the story through the lens of history, leadership, civilization, and institution building—asking not merely what Traoré intends, but what must ultimately change for Burkina Faso’s transformation to endure.Because history does not judge leaders by applause alone.It asks:Did the people become safer?Did institutions become stronger?Did opportunity expand?Did the nation become more resilient?The final chapter of Ibrahim Traoré’s story has not yet been written.Continue the ConversationThis documentary connects to the principles explored in The Black Code, Marquett Burton’s educational framework examining leadership, economics, discipline, institution building, civilization, and Pan-African thought.Explore The Black Code Classroom at:SKOOL.COM/Marquett/ClassroomGreat civilizations are not built by spectators. They are built by disciplined students of history, principled leaders, and communities prepared to transform ideas into action.Do you believe Ibrahim Traoré can create lasting transformation in Burkina Faso, or will history judge his leadership differently?

Yahweh have a Wife?
Asherah is an goddess and cultic object well, though mysteriously, attested in the Hebrew Bible - but what do we really know about Asherah? Let's explore the the history of this goddess: divine matriarch, consort and power behind the throne. From ancient Babylon, the Hittite Empire, the Canaanites, the Hebrew Bible and South Arabian texts let's see what we can learn about this goddess. Do recently discovered inscriptions even indicate that she was the lost or even suppressed Wife of Yahweh? And, how does the Kabbalah restore Asherah as the Divine Feminine? Let's explore the history and mythology of Asherah.Consider Supporting Esoterica!Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/esotericachannelOne Time Donation Support - Paypal Donation - https://www.paypal.me/esotericachannelMerch - https://www.youtube.com/channe....l/UCoydhtfFSk1fZXNRn to Studying Esotericism?
