The first subheading would be making a new section for the Leadership of Terreiro do Gantois. Instead of having it all in the career subheading. I wanted to have seperate section breaking down how the leadership shifter and then just having the career section focused on Mae Menhinina. Would this be a good change?
I was also thinking about adding a section about Mae Menhininas influence in the advocacy and legal recognition of Candomble in Brazil, this was arguably one of her most historically signifcant impacts and it's not mentioned very much at all in the article so I think adding it's own section maybe after the career subheading, showing how her career influenced the rest of Brazil and the recognition fo Candomble would be a good addition. Thoughts on these changes? Brady Joling (talk) 21:34, 16 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
