When someone deprives you of your history, they deprive you of your future.

SINNERS (2025) dir. Ryan Coogler
Deep in the forests of Central Africa, the Baka people have mastered the art of sustainable foraging. From Cameroon to Gabon, Congo, and the Central African Republic, they rely on wild fruits, nuts, honey, and medicinal plants—harvesting in a way that allows the forest to regenerate. Baka children learn from an early age how to forage in a way that allows the forest to regenerate. Their deep ecological knowledge helps them recognize which plants can be harvested at different times of the year without harming the ecosystem. Unlike destructive practices like cutting timber, they take only what they need, ensuring the forest keeps thriving for generations. A true lesson in conservation and living in harmony with nature!

Alfre Woodard on Crooklyn (1994) for R29:
“To my knowledge, we hadn’t seen a Black family that was just presented as we are in life, as human beings,” Woodard said. “I get told in Belgium by white Belgians ‘I love Crooklyn, it reminds me of growing up.’ Which is what happens when you tell a story from a specific point of view, you don’t have to mention race. You didn’t get up this morning like ‘I’m a black woman that wants a cup of coffee.’ You just want a cup of coffee. It was us as we are. Just us being fabulous, complex, funny, delightful, and making ends meet. And seeing, even within that story, that we’re not monolithic...The specificity is what makes it universal. Diversity is not the point; showing reality is the point.”

"This image shows the entrance to the compound of traditional Uli artist Mgbadunwa Okanumme. The walls are adorned with intricate Uli patterns, which are a form of Igbo art. The entrance features a thatched roof and is flanked by large banana plants. The wall decorations include geometric shapes, lines, and dots in white and black on a reddish-brown background, typical of the Uli style. Uli art is deeply tied to the spiritual and social life of the Igbo people. It was often associated with festivals that honored the earth goddess Ala, and the designs were believed to carry protective and sacred qualities. Women who practiced Uli art were considered to have a special connection to the spiritual world, acting as intermediaries between the human and divine."
