Captains Log 31_ You Down W BPP!?

So tonight was Meroe, Uglee radio X KTA Black Panther Founders Day event. It was fkin litty! The kind of shit I LIVE for and makes me wanna get on SL more! Things like that just remind you that there are many kindred souls here on the grid and we all have a collective purpose in our individual journeys whether we realize it or not. A shared intention to continue carrying the torch of those that came before us and that made differences in their communities. Just little things like this can just spark memories in our DNA.

EPIGENETICS.

Its a science to this and the metaverse is a big part of this whole story we writing. Right now (whether we realize it or not) we are being apart of history, something our forefathers couldn’t have imagined. To be able to connect with each other anywhere and anytime in the world and share knowledge FREE.

When we do evens like this on the grid we make em proud.

So everybody understood the assignment, one thing SL folk will do is DRESS UP AND SHOW OUT OKAY! & I was so invested in getting good pics the whole night I was just like yelling at black dragon to stay loaded. Thats one thing I need to figure out what the best settings are to load all people at once and the background pictures and textures FAST! Is that asking too much?? *tear*

The Meroe team is really top tier I am super grateful for Gigi and Ras, never thought we’d be all the way to this moment when we first came to Meroe. It was a dream enough just to know it existed but to actually be able to volunteer my time to the cause, makes me feel like I am putting my best effort any way I can. I feel like this volunteer work is training me for taking initiative in my RL, in having more confidence with the work to connect the diaspora. Its like a foundation to stand on when I propose collabs to people I’ll have sum to back me up! Aye my favorite female rapper princess nokia liked one of my posts on our IG so I feel I can do anything now lmao. One day Meroe will be visited by people who never even had an SL account before. Inshallah!

Bae also did his second official SL grid performance but first one with Meroe! He’s such a dope MC! African Soil is one of my favorite songs I listen to legit every week and not just because he my man either! He inspires me so much to take risks and try new things. I love how he barely joined SL but he puts himself out there even though things are still new to him. He kills it everytime too and always impresses me in the end. I basically forced him to make me his Manager. Im his baeager now, (ima make baeager happen idc! ) XD I feel like we came up with another title for that but im blanking rn. Oh well!

These two looked soooo good, their energy also reminded me of myself and bae. It just made me feel so cozy to see like vibrations around. I think one thing I want to branch away from is the awkwardness that comes with meeting new people on the grid or reaching out to them. So many times I want to just IM folks that I find interesting and I get this feeling like “I dont want to bother them” or “what if they dont wanna talk right now” a lot of times, I think i mentioned before people don’t respond to me or have a weird vibe like instantly don’t fw me.

Sometimes I feel more sensitive than others. Like if in my RL I am getting that energy too much at work I can’t handle getting that same thing in SL too. I think thats why I didnt hit this beautiful kindred soul sis up. But I hope that I’ll run into her again at another event! The best connections form naturally. I want to invest  a little bit of time into making a “spot” again. Like when I first joined SL and the commune, it was a place people would always just set as their home and sit around and talk to each other at. Naturally people would go there just to hang and I miss that. I am still gunning for that! God will show us the way haha!

Gigi, Ras and their daughter are just so classy and dope. I loved seeing them all together having fun and just admire everything they have built here at Meroe. I respect them so much ! The vibes are immaculate and just getting better every time we pull off another event!

Another beautiful soul sis that I did not message but wanted to XD lmaooo I know someone out there gets me with the whole PTSD of relationships on SL!! It be so rocky but when you come together it is priceless! I think about some of my personal friendships on SL and I have a few that have lasted as many years as I’ve been on, some people completely disappeared and some left notes first. I myself was one of the ghosters, I feel like maybe I gotta get karma back for the friendships i’ve personally fucked up before God gives me more new ones to try. EEK! PROMISE ILL DO BETTER THIS TIME!

Captains Log No. 29_ Meroe Explorers

Last week bae and I visited the Tonal Chantilly Museum Collaboration!

Meroe Museum SL worked with one of the top designers in SL to add two exhibits to the Chantilly Museum. The first exhibit is called Ancient Egypt (KMT/Nubia) showcasing ancient artwork and sculptures from 900 BC to 3500 BC. The second is on Moorish civilizers of the world and how they taught europeans to bathe. xD TONAL has your refined, regal, and majestic experience in one Solitary Palace of the Arts.This is an experience you do not want to miss and makes for an amazing date night and photo op! You get to learn of your culture, experience the richness and luxury that is black exellence and take cute pics w your boo.

I made him dress up and he completely understood the assignment. We were giving black renaissance okay! It is acutally a huge sim to explore and it is very impressive and beautiful. Aesthetically inside and out its just a marvel. Makes you really appreciate what SL can provide in terms of experiences that trigger emotions. The feelings are real.

When you go into an institution that is emulating places where people like us are not usually represented in their true light, it was really refreshing to be in a space that is not urban centered that is positively portraying what we are and where we come from. Especially the Moors exhibit. That is one of my favorites but it took us a minute to find! When you click on the tp for the museum on the directory its not exactly where the Moor exhibit is. I had to follow intuition and explore the building before I found it, right as I was about to give up thinking maybe it wasnt there... it popped up for me! It reminded me of adventures i’ve had in Portugal where I was guided by the ancestors and found a whole castle that was built by moors and an exhibit in the castle about how we lived and buried the dead. Our history is so rich and marvelous. We are the inventors of science, math, astronomy... We had automatons before anyone else. . . Beautiful intricate inventions unfathomable to modern man. It was a moorish woman who created the first university ever.

Just totally in love and obsessed with our true history, culture, and sharing it with  our community. If we could see how multifaceted and rich our history is maybe we can uplift ourselves beyond these illusions of division and get back to where we belong. Building as one.

Here is your carriage to the palace! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/TONAL%20Family/212/115/40
