Ìyangàn is a story of an African woman blessed with natural beauty and a very kind heart. She is elegant in her appearance and has a keen sense of style which is depicted by her classic head tie, her detailed make-up and her choice of jewelry that is associated with royalty. She became a mother at a young age due to the traditions in her village, yet neither the challenge of being one of several wives nor the burden of raising kids will stop her from being particular about her beauty standards.
The day came when that composure was threatened. Four ‘classy’ women had come from the city as a tourist, displaying model’s gait and flaunting audio success as seen in the background showing four sexy women figures in different postures. The sight affected her esteem and lost pride in all her sense of beauty and splendor. She had never traveled outside her village

The synergy and bond of mothers are unfathomable. Just by sight you can see the thousands of emotions in her eyes all the way from her soul. It is understating to call women ” Heroine”. They are more than what words should express.
