Black Afrikan Genius

The Kemites acknowledged that they came from up South, from the interior of the Afrikan continent near the Mountains of the Moon. The Mer, called pyramid by foreigners, is a symbol from our ancestors that testifies to the genius that is yet to come: a reemergence of yet another Afrikan renaissance. This will take place with the re-unification of the Afrikan continent. We are, and have always been, a great people. #AfricaWillRise #OneAfricanGiant

SANKOFA SERIES: DO FOR OUR PEOPLE.

It has been said: "You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice." We celebrate those who know that our future must be defined by us and not foreign imperialist or those who lecture others about "democracy and human rights" while all the while being the very violators of these principles. Keep moving forward together our dear brothers (Sons of Sankara). #AfricaWillRise#OneAfricanGiant

Summary: 2022 Monthly Reading Challenge.

We want to congratulate those of you who participated in our Monthly Reading Challenge. Thank you. We hope that you enjoyed the selection. Please keep in mind that we do not sell books. Rather, we recommend books that we believe may be engaging. We get lots of questions about where to obtain books. We are unable to assist in that area. However, we provide ISBN information to help locate books. We hope that this is somewhat helpful. Reading is foundational to Afrika's rise. #AfricaWillRise #OneAfricanGiant

A Moment of Ancestor Remembrance.

Before the start of the new year, we take a moment to remember and acknowledge our ancestors. We remember our ancestors. We remember those forcefully transported to Western Asia and who did not return. We remember those forcefully transported to the Western Hemisphere and who did not return. We remember those of the Diaspora who were unable to return home. We remember those who endured during the Scramble for Afrika. We take a moment. We acknowledge you all. We acknowledge the permanence of the human soul, the indestructibility of the human spirit, and the continuity of human life. Thus, the Adinkra symbol for Nyame nwu na mawu (I will die only when God dies) is used and placed three times faintly but visible to the observing eye. We are, and have always been, a great people. #AfricaWillRise #OneAfricanGiant

Afrikan Musician Week: Afrikan Artist Experience.

This week we celebrate grassroots Afrikan musicians on the Afrikan continent and in the Afrikan Diaspora. It has been an interesting year of change. We celebrate each day, ripe with positive possibilities. Afrikan artists are important contributors to our communities when they promote healthy, pro-Afrikan, positive messages.

ATTENTION: The rules are simple.

1. No music/videos that use racial slurs.

2. No music/videos with inappropriate lyrics (i.e., sexual, violence, disrespectful behavior, etc).

3. No music/videos that disrespect our Afrikan women; we have no tolerance.

We are, have always been, and remain a great people. #AfricaWillRise #OneAfricanGiant

Sankofa Series: For Such A Time As This.

“For this end Africa needs a new type of citizen. A dedicated, modest, honest, and informed man. A man submerges self in service to the nation and mankind. A man who abhors greed and detests vanity. A new type of man whose humility is his strength and whose integrity is his greatness.” – Kwame Nkrumah
