She was betrayed, overlooked, and silenced. Yet she never stopped standing.

In the heart of Yoruba tradition lives an Orisha whose story most people have heard only in fragments. Obba, goddess of devoted love, sacred sacrifice, and wounded wisdom, is one of the most misunderstood and underestimated forces in the Orisha pantheon. Her name is spoken quietly. Her power runs deep.

Obba: Goddess of Silent Resilience is the book her devotees have been waiting for.

This is not simply a book about heartbreak. It is about what happens after when a woman rises from betrayal, reclaims her worth, and transforms her deepest wound into her greatest power.

Inside these pages, you will discover:

• Obba's true place in Yoruba cosmology and her sacred role among the Orishas
• The myth of her sacrifice ? and what it really teaches about devotion, self-worth, and boundaries
• Her veneration across Santería, Candomblé, and Afro-Caribbean spiritual traditions
• Her sacred symbols, colors, offerings, altar construction, and rituals are treated with reverence.
• How Obba governs emotional healing, grief work, and trauma recovery
• Why she is the patron Orisha of wounded healers and overlooked women
• What it means to walk her path ? and how her wisdom applies to love, relationships, and personal transformation today

Whether you are a seasoned initiate, a daughter of Obba, or a spiritual seeker drawn to the deeper feminine energies of the African diaspora, this book will meet you where you are in your truth.

Obba did not survive by being loud. She survived by being rooted.

I've always wanted to write, but being a single parent to five, finding the time to write was difficult, especially when working two jobs at a time and some days working 18 hours. But I did what I had to do. After given the opportunity to leave my job and my youngest graduating, I've decided to dive in head first into writing full-time, and haven't slowed down yet. My husband (remarried almost five years ago) says I work more now than I did punching the time clock. I never needed anyone looking over my shoulders while I worked (even thought someone probably did). I just know what needs to be done and push myself not to get ahead, but to stay ahead. Just because I'm home doesn't mean there isn't work to be done.
