Global Fusionist

“I am not African because I was born in Africa but because Africa was born in me.” Dr. Kwame Nkrumah The World is Globally Fused through Africa. Africa is the Beginning & the future! My Global Fusion is that I want to utilize Mama Africa to fuse the world. I believe in the science that humanity started in Africa. We are all Mama Africa’s children. Mama Africa has given her riches & has fed all of her children through the buxom of her bountiful resources. Global fusion is a celebration of our global commonalities, differences and fusions in business, film, fashion, art, music, food, culture & politics. Global fusion is our ability to join our talents, places, faces, and ideals for our mutual global benefit. We are all connected in our everyday lives as global citizens. Global Fusion spotlights & creates a network of global citizens who represent global freedom, knowledge & exchange. No visas & working papers required! You are free to enter and move about freely as a global citizen. Do it Respectfully & Peacefully! This is OUR Global Fusion! GET GLOBALLY FUSED! http://globalfusionproductions.com/fbl/

#MondayMeditation #MondayMotivation #FightingForDemocracy #DemandingFreedomOfChoice #IStandWithTheTogolese The world is troubled so we should be thankful for our lives and freedoms everyday because the life you complain about is only a dream for many all around the world, who are displaced, tortured, murdered, at war and fighting for basic freedoms to exist peacefully with choice. The family businesses and dynasties in politics must end in Africa and many parts of the world- if you are worthy allow the people to choose you to lead them. Unfortunately local and international media have barely reported on what is happening in Togo. The #AU, #ECOWAS #UN and the rest of the world always wait for things to escalate out of control before acknowledging there is a problem and then we scramble for solution after too many lives have been lost. We are seeing the effects of local and global complacency in South Sudan, in Syria, in Yemen, in Papua New Guinea, and in Myanmar where Aung San Suu Kyi who was once politically exiled and became a Nobel Prize winner, yet remains far too silent with too many excuses as the Rohingya people experience a modern day genocide under her watch. True Democracies are about having choices and freedom to choose the best for the nation by all of the nations citizens. The World Wide Web is named that for a reason...it's global and no one government can shut it down... #ForwardEver #OurGlobalFusion #EzRepost @eaarmah #IStandWithTHETOGOLESE WATCH. REPOST. SHARE. USE THE HASHTAG. Thank You! This nation in West Africa has taken to its streets, demanding freedom, ousting its leaders. One family has led for almost 5 decades. No more, say the Togolese. Not one day more. Freedom and the choice to elect your leaders is a Global Project. Togo, we see you. Govt banned the Internet so they made videos and invited the world to raise their voice by sharing this video. Let's raise our voices. Togo, we see you. (at Togo)

#AboutLastNight Accra was bubbling with the arts at all points so we did some hopping! @ano_ghana presented the opening of Zohra Opoku's "When We Were Queens and Kings" curated by Nana Oforiatta Ayim... It is lovely to see pieces of a dream being built up exceptionally with the library at ANO and being delighted by the all women band called "Basic Ladies" even though they are far from basic and more so fabulous and excellent ladies. And all those who have been privy to my #GlobalFusionCocktailBlends in the past know that I was delighted to find my favorite ingredient Wrey and Nephew overproof Jamaican rum starting at me and calling me to have a taste ...Perfect night made 🙌👌👏😘

#ForwardFriday #MoveYourMoney #HarnessYourPower.. "An Economic Protest, Is the most successful way to protest" Garvey, Nkrumah, Montgomery Bus Boycott and all of our founding fathers and mothers of Pan-Africanism taught us that- but somehow we always look to reinvent the wheel instead of following and building upon a proven blueprint. History has proven over and over again that the only time change truly happens is when the livelihood and economics of a nation or a people are effected - then people sit up and change to adapt or get empowered through economic independence. Dependency always empowers supremacy and reinforces inferiority. All the protests, marches, anger and white allies didn't truly bring about Civil Rights legislation in America until the adversely effected learned the power of economics and took matters into their own hands with the Montgomery Boycott that put a dent in the economy which America could not afford. The majority of African nations did not proceed toward and attain independence without the funding that Nkrumah gave and reclaiming our economy through our resources. When we deviated from these practices and became complacent in our dependency is how we got to where we are today still trying to figure out what independence and freedom really looks like! It is a horrible shame to see resource filled Sierra Leone in desperate need of help yet the AU and all of our billionaires in Africa are silent as if they are not witnessing this crisis - #IfNotUsThenWho? Kudos to #OurBlackStarNation's own Paa Kwasi Nduom for being the first African owner of an American Bank? Where you place and spend your money matters in how you build nations, communities and freedom! #ThinkFar ... "Overcoming colonization wasn't just about African countries gaining independence. It was also about African countries taking back control of their resources... Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. Thy claim it as their own and none can keep it from them... We face neither East nor West- We Face Forward ... Forward Ever... Backward Never"- Dr. Kwame Nkrumah... #CooperativeEconomics #SelfDetermination #PanAfricanism #OurGlobalFusion

#TBT #HistoryMakers #MacTontoh "It (High Life ) has been with us all this time. We have lived on it... We have made it to vibrant music in the world, so it's popular, only sometimes you have to add the indigenous to it to cut across... We (Osibisa) thought let's go revisit the kete, the adowa and infuse it with the western influences that we have and it worked. That traditional part, that indigenous part of it caught the eyes of the world because there's some energy that the traditional music have... Some Power... Some Fire that is good for mankind... We must perform like Ghanaians, and for that matter Africans. My advise is that whatever we do, should be African/Ghanaian oriented and that is what will win the trophy for us in the industry... -Mac Tontoh (December 25, 1940- August 16, 2010) Mac Tontoh is a Ghanaian and global icon who with Osibisa introduced the world to Ghana's High-Life music that cut across the continent and the world and eventually gave birth to Afro-Beat. Osibisa was named one of the best bands in the world by Rolling Stone Magazine. I was privileged to be invited to Mr. Tontoh's home for an interview a year before his death coming face to face with an idol I had admired for years looking at his images on my mother's records. He was extremely welcoming with vibrant energy and great hope for the future of what he planned to do in collaborations with the young artists in Ghana and contribution to MUSIGA in making it a true home and advocacy group for artists. I hope the artists young and old left behind will continue the work he started and never had the chance to complete due to his untimely death. May his greatness live on through those whom he left behind and are yet to be born! #OurBlackStarNation #HighLifeMusic #OurGlobalFusion (at Ghana)

#TBT #History Honoring Marcus Mosiah Garvey Jr. Born today August 17,1887. "With confidence, you have won before you have started... Any leadership that teaches you to depend on another race, is a leadership that will enslave you... If the Negro is not careful he will drink in all the poison of modern civilization and die from the effects of it...We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery because whilst others might free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind... " Marcus Garvey We keep trying to reinvent the wheel when the blueprint has always been there awaiting the next generation to build upon it and to take it further!!! #Garveyiites #BlackStarLine #AfricaForAfricans #AtHomeAndAbroad #SelfDetermination #CooperativeEconomics #OurGlobalFusion

Over 200 dead from devastating mudslides with many houses buried... May the souls already lost RIP... Praying for those fighting for their lives in these horrific mudslides to be spared... We don't need to wait for others to care about us to care for ourselves.... #PrayForSierraLeone #OneAfrica #TellingOurOwnStories #ClaimingOurOwnNarratives #BeingOurBrothersAndSistersKeeper #OurGlobalFusion "At least 200 people have been killed in a mudslide near Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown, the Red Cross says. A hillside in the Regent area collapsed early on Monday following heavy rains, leaving many houses covered in mud. A BBC reporter at the scene said that many people may have been asleep when the mudslide occurred. Sierra Leone's Vice-President Victor Bockarie Foh said it was "likely that hundreds are lying dead". The number of casualties is expected to rise. Mr Foh told Reuters news agency that the disaster was "so serious that I myself feel broken". He said that the area had to be cordoned off as people were evacuated, with many still feared trapped in their homes. Locals were reportedly trying to recover bodies from the rubble and mud with their bare hands. The worst-hit area is thought to be the Regent district on the outskirts of Freetown, where dozens of houses were submerged when the hillside collapsed at about 06:00 GMT." (Excerpt From BBC)

Yesterday as I celebrated the Ga cultural/spiritual celebration of Homowo in conversation with Ghanaians and Diasporans speaking on our global responsibility to unity and breaking the cultural, continental and racial divide for the sake of our collective future, I spoke to an elder from Virginia who asked me about how it feels to move back to Ghana as she contemplates her own move back. I explained to her that although the transition has not been easy -watching and listening to the horrors happening in America - I knew that I made the right decision. I spoke of tuning out the horrors but realized that I can not as a #GlobalCitizen tune out the horrors of injustice happening in #MyTwoNations =#America + #Ghana that created who I am nor anywhere else in the world because as Dr. Martin Luther King said "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"! #DearWhitePeople we are not our grandparents so don't think we will sit back and allow our children to live a future of continued terrorism in their own nations. It is disgusting what happened in America yesterday at a college campus which is supposed to be a place of higher learning and personal and collective evolvement in building a better future! Too many of us have been living with this reality of the delusion of white supremacy and too many of us are sick and tired of being sick and tired to have this continue! "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will... Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe. " - Frederick Douglass- #Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned - well everywhere is war! Until there's no longer first class and second class citizens of any nation. Until the color of a man's skin is of no significance than the color of his eyes... Me say war! Until the basic human rights are guaranteed to all without regard to race Dis is war" - Bob Marley #WhiteAmericanTerroism #CallItWhatItIs (at Charlottesville, Virginia)

#SundaySermon #DearWhitePeople Your racism is the terrorism that you have been wielding globally for your own self-protection in mediocrity, insecurity and delusions of grandeur in superiority. Each and everyone of you should own this and speak out against it just as you ask that a billion + Muslims in the world speak out and condemn every terrorist act in the name of Islam. Yesterday a terrorist act in the name of white supremacy occurred and too many of you especially the "Not All White People are like this" apologists choose to not speak out in full condemnation just like your president; therefore you are complicit in the perpetuation of this terrorism in your name! Let's not continue to pretend that this is anything but the terrorism that we speak out against worldwide and call it by name in condemnation and zero tolerance! A young white woman who unlike many didn't sit back and pretend she is not seeing her own reign terror on her fellow Americans was run over and murdered for truly being the change in what America tells the world she stands for! "The true focus of revolutionary change is never merely the oppressive situations that we seek to escape, but that piece of the oppressor which is planted deep within each of us... When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak... Your silence will not protect you"-Audre Lorde #ThisIsAmerica #CallItWhatItIs #Terroism #Charlottesville #Virgina (at Charlottesville, Virginia)
