“As long as this heart beats…”
"Reparations are not just political, they’re personal. Every heartbeat reminds us of our Africanity. It’s not a passport. It’s a pulse. A rhythm of resistance, memory, and belonging." — Kim Poole

"African women are the mother of civilization
Reparations must center African women, not just as victims of colonial violence, but as architects of civilization. Their wisdom, labor, and leadership built worlds. Let’s honor them with justice."
— Kim Poole #ReparationsFriday #AfricansRising
"Before the Ma’afa, we were whole. Our ancestors knew strength, sovereignty, and sacred connection. Reparations must begin with remembrance of who we were, and who we still are.
Call on the spirit. Call for justice."
— Kim

Prof. Rutte Faizar focuses on corporations who built their wealth on the back of enslaved Africans. For reparations, investing in African students, universities and economic justice to ensure an inclusive future for Africa's youth.

This should be publicized wide in Europe and America.
Some families there still have some of these artifacts forcefully taken from Africa sitting in their homes.
A channel should be created to make it easy for such to be returned.

This #ReparationsFriday, we’re talking about CULTURAL REPARATIONS; and why returning what was stolen is just as important as financial compensation.
#ReparationsNOW #AfricansRising
Today, many of our treasures sit locked away in foreign museums. Our tongues were called “backward.” Our ways demonized. Our gods erased.
But we are rising.
We are reclaiming.
#ReparationsFriday #ReparationsNOW #AfricansRising
For centuries, Africa has been robbed, not just of wealth, but of languages, spiritual practices, sacred artifacts, and cultural pride.

Reparations Is Not Just About Money: A Call to Reimagine Justice
#ReparationsFriday | June 26, 2025
When the call for reparations to Africans and people of African descent is raised in global forums, parliaments, classrooms, in communities or on the streets, it is often met with a single, simplified response: “What is the estimated cost? How much money are we getting?”
This reductionist view misses the core of what reparations actually mean to those who have endured centuries of deliberate and coordinated harm. Reparations is not merely a transactional settlement. It is a deeply transformational process; one that must confront and repair the Historical, Spiritual, Cultural, Economic, and Psychological wounds inflicted by slavery and slave trade, colonialism, apartheid, and their modern-day manifestations.
Reparations must include:
1. Land and sovereignty
2. Historical and educational justice
3. Language and cultural revival
4. Healing and memorialization
5. Cultural and spiritual restoration
6. Structural reforms
7. Financial compensation
Reparations is not aid. It is not pity. It is justice owed.
This Reparations Thursday we ask:
1. What does reparations look like for YOU?
2. How do you envision repair?
3. What stories do your people carry that the world must hear?
Share your reflections using the hashtag #ReparationsFriday.
Justice is not a favour. Reparations is not optional. The time to repair is now.
