“How can you rise up every living day

Telling yourself everything is okay

When you look at life you see it slipping away

There are those who feel it every moment every day

Some say how you doing they wanna know if you’re fine

Not until we repossess what’s rightfully mine!”

The Black, The Brown and the Red people who walk upon EarthMother are at this time the most exploited, denigrated, and misused human beings. We were the first beings to rise up out of the primal waters and seek human form. We are the creators and maintainers of life as we know it here on EarthMother.  But as long as we view ourselves from the perspective of the slave masters, the colonizers and the imperialists we will remain low , downtrodden and powerless.

We must regain the ability to define ourselves, to determine our own destinies, to create our own realities. IN TRUTH we never lost these abilities…we arbitrarily gave up our rights to them!

Zumbi-a warrior leader of the kilombo (called maroon by slave masters) society in Brazil taughts us that- “You only become a slave when you are afraid of dying!”

At any time and in any place when we allow fear to cause us to give in to the wickedness of oppression, imperialism, slavery and colonialism…we are giving up our rights to define our selves, to create our realities, to live our own lives!

This space is one place for us to begin to regain our knowledge of self

This is a Kilombo- a space for warriors and freedom fighters

A place to begin our Sankofa-our journey to return and fetch those things that have been lost

Through courses, books, ritual tools and guidance, let us began the long journey back to our true selves

our whole selves

our ancient selves

our complete selves

Come let we Sankofa!
