Ògúnlọ́wọ̀ is a word in Yoruba language meaning “Ògún owns honour”

In Yoruba mythology, Ògún is the god of war and iron, a powerful deity and warrior who taught humanity to build with axes. 

No. 13 Ògúnlọ́wọ̀ Street was also the home where I grew up.

A quaint neighbourhood in Lagos, Nigeria, that held my cherished childhood.

I wanted to appreciate my identity through language and memory. Yoruba is uniquely expressive and expansive. Our words speak in multitudes, they heal, they affirm.
