THE MATRIARCH - Cameroon
Portrait of an elderly Mbororo woman.
When walking around at the Gerewol i noticed this group of elderly women watching the ceremony from a distance as if they were checking if everything was going as planned. Like guardians of tradition. This lady just made an instant impact on me. Like she was THE matriarch. She sure looked like it. How many Gerewols would she have attended through the years... ?
