In ancient Greek, “Yaya” meant literally “woman.” Today, Greek grandmothers are called “Yaya,” likely because they have acquired wisdom.
In an Afro Caribbean religious sect, found in Brazil and the Congo, the word “Yaya” refers to women who have gone through a religious initiation. It means “Mother” or “Mama Priestess.”
The word “Yaya” represents a pilgrimage to the highest status of womanhood, achieved only by way of ritual, compassionate intention, and wise resilience, accompanied
by the beauty of aging.
