Nancy de Souza (author) is an internationally-respected authority on Afro-Brazilian history and culture. Since her 1979 initiation by Babalorixá Obaràyí of Ilê Axé Opô Aganjú, she has dedicated her life to the study of her ancestors’ knowledge. She worked directly with Babalawo Pierre Fatumbi Verger to caption thousands of photos he took documenting Afro-diasporic sacred practices. At the Pierre Verger Foundation, she works with academics from around the world who seek her out for information they cannot find in books. Although she could leverage her depth of expertise for personal gain, she spends most of her time teaching and nurturing children from the predominantly Black neighborhood where she lives. Her profound commitment to service and her faith leave a lasting impression on everyone she meets. Camellia Dao-Ling McDermott Lee (translator) is a writer and future acupuncturist descended from Taiwanese and Irish immigrants.
