Bertian Hounon was born in December 1996 in Ouidah. He is the grandson of DAAGBO HOUNON HOUNA 1, Grand Patriarch of global Vodun, a figure whose spiritual legacy is recognized from Haiti to Brazil, from Cuba to the United States.
A specialist in Vodun and the Fa oracle since 2016, Bertian founded Wa Afriki to bridge the gap between a diaspora searching for its roots and the tradition-guardians who held the keys to that access.
No foreign operator can enter Vodun convents, organize a Zangbéto ceremony, or guarantee the authenticity of a consultation with a Bokonon without this web of relationships. That is After Vodundays' structural advantage, it is not commercial. It is human, and genealogical.
A legacy is not only received by birth, it is extended by building. Between 2019 and 2022, Bertian personally wove the network of local alliances that makes After Vodundays possible today: guardian families, artisans, guides, institutions. This is not a legacy received and kept intact. It is a legacy rebuilt so it can carry through the generations to come.
