Yemayá

Yemayá is a revered deity in Afro-Caribbean spirituality, often considered the mother of all waters and a protector of the ocean and its inhabitants. She holds a central place in the belief systems of many Jamaican communities, symbolizing fertility, motherhood, and the nurturing aspects of nature. In discussions surrounding the fight for public access to Jamaica's coastlines, Yemayá represents the call for respect towards the environment and the rights of local communities to access their sacred waters.
