What Amarh Pino did with Lonely Lampty’s ‘Maria’ is similar to what Whitney Houston did with Dolly Parton’s ‘I’ll Always Love You’…. gave it extra life.

All I got from this was she's from Mpintsin

[Yaaa @YaaChinese]

Bozoma on her heritage and lineage.

"Call me by my name. Bozoma Afiba Mamekyi Arthur Saint John-Watson. QUEEN for short.

I am descended from royalty on both sides of my family. My father is Nzema. On his side, the royal stool belonged to Awulae Blay VI, Paramount King of the Eastern Nzema Traditional Area in Atuabo.

My mother is Ahanta. Through her, I descend from the Obrempong Royal Stool in Mpintsin and the Ntwia Ebusua. We are matrilineal, and generations of my family are buried in the royal mausoleum in Mpintsin.

So when I stood to be married, I wore my history.

My kente was woven by hand in Bonwire, Kumasi over FOUR MONTHS. WOVEN, thread by thread, with Adinkra symbols carrying the wisdom of our people.

And then there was the GOLD. Ohhhhh the gold! Around my neck, chest, wrists, ankles and in my hair. Gold has adorned Akan royalty for generations as inheritance and power. I wanted to feel its weight.

My hair was sculpted into the traditional Tekua and adorned with gold. On my feet were Ahenema, "the children of kings." Even my feet knew where I came from!

Across my waist, red, black and yellow represented sacrifice, our ancestors, preciousness and beauty. Among the Adinkra symbols in my kente and jewelry was GYE NYAME: "Except God." After all the talk of kings and queens, there is still only One above us all.

My greatest inheritance stood beside me: my mother Mama Aba, my daughter Lael, who carries it forward; and my sisters by blood and choice: Ahoba, Alua, Aba, Tina, Dorien, Justina, Luvvie, Erika, Cari, Leander and Amina.I hope Ghanaians see home.

I hope the diaspora remembers that slavery is not the beginning of our story. Before the ships and chains, we had names, families, kingdoms and traditions worthy of awe.

AKWAABA. This is where I come from, and this is how I came to my marriage: fully myself... to marry my king Keely Watson.

[MOTHERS. @francemothers]

Fun fact: Dolly Parton used the royalties from Whitney Houston’s rendition of “I Will Always Love You” to support a Black neighborhood, and support Black owned businesses.

"I bought my big office complex down in Nashville. So I thought, 'Well, this is a wonderful place to be,'" Parton said. "I bought a property down in what was the Black area of town, and it was mostly just Black families and people that lived around there. It was off the beaten path from 16th Avenue and I thought, 'Well, I am gonna buy this place — the whole strip mall.' And I thought, 'This is the perfect place for me to be,' considering it was Whitney. I thought this was great — I'm just gonna be down here with her people, who are my people as well," she continued. "So I just love the fact that I spent that money on a complex and I think, 'This is the house that Whitney built.' "

Congratulations to him.

I hope we also recognize that this gender disparity cannot be fixed by mentorship alone. Like the issues in girl-child education, this too is structural. We need policy interventions, not just a few adult male role models or individual men paying for a few boys to stay in school

BREAKING:

The Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth after Charlie Kirk's killing. I fought back.

I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post.

They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. ✊🏾
