  • Sending love to all the children of Obatala on this day. Que Baba los cuide y los llene de amor, paz y tranquilidad todos los días de su vida. #MaferefunObatala #Lukumi

  • We are science-ing it up over here, people! CLOUD IN A BOTTLE! Big thanks to @vanessaechols for bringing us into the studio and allowing for meetings of meteorologists to take place. This is fun! #scienceproject
  • This is when I died! 😂 Snakes are of particular significance to me and it seems that the significance unfolds as time goes by. But I just can't get over the truth in this. 🤣😂 #snakes
