About this listen

Leaving Dahomey is set in 1840 in the ancient West Afrikan Kingdom of Dahomey. Our story centers around the people in their everyday lives and occupations, the applique workers, the calabash makers, pottery makers, storytellers, makers of verse, the needleworkers/designers, the smiths, and the cultivators. The story follows a year in the life of a 15-year-old hammock-borne, Adeoha, and her connection to a Vodun prophecy of a magical oracle that will appear in time.
