Please Watch and Share My Interview With Ogun State Television at: Ogbeyonu Temple Ifa Festival, 2014 At the Palace of Baba Araba Ifayemi Elebuibon: Ifa Priest, Botanist, Author, Playwright, Actor, Dignitary, World Renowned Cultural Icon and Educator on the Subject Ifa and Traditional Yoruba Spirituality Oftentimes it takes an open discussions to dissolve or validate beliefs and stereotypes between cultures. Media plays a large role in portraying culture. However, mainstream media is typically fueled by displaying that which will yield the highest ratings, with the ratings translating into money. Per his own expression, this interviewer, was unsettled in his spirit because he thought that I (being born in America) was detached from my Spiritual Ancestry and Heritage, that I did not truly appreciate the Ifa Spirituality or the culture of the Yoruba people. He believed that my mindset was unaware of the depths of the culture he was born into. He had been trying to catch me for an interview throughout this day. I promised him that I would make the time. Our mutually respectful and appreciated encounter, dialogue and question and answer is what you see here.... -Ifáseyì Bamigbala
