This is an original Jamaican folklore story by storyteller Kesha Christie, blending ancestral wisdom with rich oral tradition.

In this episode of Walk Good, Kesha breathes new life into the haunting legend of River Mumma—the mystical guardian of the Rio Cobre. Rooted in Maroon knowledge and inspired by generations of storytelling, this tale follows a young healer named Makeda, who seeks the river’s help… but learns the cost of asking for too much.

They say River Mumma watches from the depths, grants wishes with care, and punishes the greedy. With cultural reverence and vivid imagery, this story reminds us that the river never forgets.
