Fluid Relationships in Yorùbá Homes and Communities
Yorùbá homes reflect a dynamic web of fluid relationships rooted in extended family life, shared responsibility, and spiritual grounding. Traditionally organized into Agbo Ilé (family compounds), these communal spaces foster interdependence, respect for hierarchy, and adaptability. Through collective child-rearing, inclusive support systems, and evolving roles, Yorùbá communities thrive in harmony and shared destiny.
