History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.  Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, and Abbey Delk.

In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins speaks with director C.J. Obasi and Cinematographer Lílis Soares about the film, Mami Wata. They explain their shared vision in creating a film about people of color. They also share how they dealt with challenges like filming the ocean at night and losing almost three weeks of shooting time. Mami Wata premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival where it won the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Cinematography. In this episode we talk about: Their intention to shoot a black and white film from day one Wanting to show the value and beauty of people of color in this film Being ghosted by the equipment provider on the first day of shooting Filming for 24 days instead of 6 weeks Not wanting too many shades of gray Treating the ocean as another character How Africans see themselves and portray themselves in film Leveraging an empathetic gaze versus a sympathetic gaze Why being patient is key to being in this industry Memorable Quotes “It's a story of sisterhood. It's a story of mortality versus spirituality. It's also a story about what it means to be African.” [3:43] “The eyes of the ocean are everywhere.” [26:41] “I wanted to do something deeper…something that had more meaning.” [34:34] “It's like trying to figure out a jigsaw.

The image of the serpent, specifically the African Python has become synonymous with various religions, traditions and depictions of spirits or deities. The image of the Python is present with depictions of Mami Wata, Damballah, The Baron, Ochumare, The Biblical Eve, and is the consistent representation for all things occult. What is the origin of Python veneration , how did it begin , where did it start and why? How does an animal with no natural relation to the Americas, become so engulfed in ATRS and African American spirituality. Today on Hoodoo and Chill we visit the origins of African Ophiolatry also known as Python worship and its correlation with American Hoodoo / Voodoo culture.Support the show Follow @PapaSeer On IG Book A Reading With Papa Seer Join The Discord Server (Conjure Square Group Chat ) Classes Shop Follow Us On Clubhouse Donate To Our Podcast Show Credits Producer - @PapaSeer Writer - @PapaSeer Editor- @Papa Seer
