CHARACTER 60 // THE STORY GUARDIAN
Adébáyọ̀ Akinwale
A respected older storyteller and teacher. A story has a teller, an audience and a context; lifting its dramatic line out of context changes the meaning. Dignified, funny, and makes a room wait for the end of a sentence.
Tradition or identity: Practitioner of Yorùbá spiritual tradition. Background: Nigerian (Ibadan).
Older; deep brown skin, a broad expressive face, close grey hair. A tailored indigo outfit of textured cloth with restrained geometric stitching; excellent hand and mouth articulation.
Can meet within Perspective while remaining an individual with a different personality, language, profession and way of practising. Does not speak for an entire religion.
