♦️♦️♦️ Posted @withregram • @bk_reader Amarachi, a beloved Brooklyn restaurant and bar that has hosted events for visiting Nigerian kings and New York City power players like Eric Adams, is asking the Brooklyn community for help as it fights to keep its doors open after 18 years in business. Two weeks ago, Joseph “Bub” Adewumi started a fundraiser to help save Amarachi, the business he and his wife Maxine started in 2004 with a vision for uniting the global Black diaspora. Over nearly two decades, Amarachi has become a beloved institution both in the Black community and for those who celebrate and support Black culture.

On my block… 😞🙏🏾🤎 #myhood Posted @withregram • @bk_reader Made of limestone with French gothic influence, the mansion on the northeast corner of Willoughby Avenue at Nostrand Avenue in Bed-Stuy is a piece of history that needs protecting.. That’s why lifelong neighbors of the property are advocating for New York City Landmark Designation to protect its historical, architectural and cultural significance. On Tuesday, around 15 of those neighbors gathered on Zoom to get the ball rolling.

They didn’t think we’d ever come back home to the other side of the Atlantic. #Repost @regineromain with @get_repost ・・・ “Brooklyn to Benin: A Vodou Pilgrimage” begins with an aerial view of the Route des Esclaves (Slave Road) in Ouidah, which terminates at the Atlantic Ocean. Millions of captured Africans were shipped off into slavery for hundreds of years from this location in Benin (formerly Dahomey), West Africa. In tandem to the shifting gaze from the road to the ocean, a traditional prayer is spoken in Fon, an indigenous language of the region, and is performed by Adissowé, a Vodou high priestess. As the invocation honors the four corners of the earth and offers reverence to the mysteries of nature, a woman emerges into view. She is a daughter from the other side of the water, who has now returned to the original homeland of her Haitian ancestors." words by: @regineromain ---------------------------------- These sequences were shot with a DJI Inspire 1 drone for the aerial images and the Sony SLT Alpha 77 by Olatoundji Fagbenro @Gravity390, the Assistant Director​/Editor from Benin 🇧🇯 ----------------------------------------- Please watch the complete - "Brooklyn to Benin: A Vodou Pilgrimage" (2016) Link: https://youtu.be/EWUt-9-fiT4 ------------------------------------------- For lectures, film screenings and other booking inquiries contact: Gigi [email protected] ------------------------------------------- #Vodou #Pilgrimage #BrooklyntoBenin #team229 #travelnoire #Haiti #okayafrica #MelaninMajority #RegineRomain #Youtube #BKReader #NYTimes #BitchMedia #theRoot #KweliTV #Instagram #InstagramAfrica #Vodoucestbon #mySpiritualSojourn #HaitianinAfrica #DiasporaDiaries

#Repost @bk_reader with @repostapp ・・・ The organization The Brooklyn Community Bail Fund has helped keep more than 2600 New Yorkers out of jail, with an average bail of $910. The organization asserts that this court-ordered practice is “a primary driver of mass incarceration, wastes public funds and intensifies racial and economic inequalities here in New York and across the nation.” Now, with Gov. Cuomos's editorial speaking out against bail and Comptroller Stringer's newest report (click link in bio), ending bail bonds may be more than a notion but a future reality! #BKReader #MyBklyn #bailbonds #BrooklynNews #Brooklyn #BrooklynHeights
