“Oshun has been a victim of abuse, neglect, and loss, which is the reason so many women whom have experienced those actions worship her. When she seeks out revenge for those who have hurt her– and her children– she is unpredictable in her methods and temper. She can show herself laughing, dancing and joyous, all while unleashing a wrath on those who cross her. It only makes sense that Beyoncé would allude to Oshun’s imagery and personification in an album that is intended to conceptualize a woman’s journey of self knowledge and healing, specifically that of a black woman’s journey. Oshun symbolizes just that.”
