We need healers of color, readers of color, astrologers of color. Don’t think there isn’t room bc it is but also take your time learning bc there is a big level or responsibility that comes along with it. It’s a journey
Dear Ancestors. Teach me what I do not yet know. Correct me when I lose my way. Keep my heart humble, my mind open and my hands worthy of the work entrusted to me.
Your daughter just got her first period.
Do not tell her she is a woman now.
Tell her what estrogen does.
Tell her what progesterone does.
Tell her her cycle has four phases and each one will feel different.
Give her information. Not a new identity.
Why do yall think being a scammer or an escort has become NORMAL?? Because the music, the culture NORMALIZED it through MEDIA! That’s literally how PROPAGANDA works! Yes fraud and prostitution has always existed but never in the way it does today.. I wonder why! 🙃
Did you know that israelis we’re kicked out of Uganda in 1972 after their hidden plot to poison the river Nile & exterminate people in Sudan was uncovered?
Patrice Lumumba’s last letter to his wife after the coup backed by the CIA and Belgium:
“Neither brutality, nor cruelty, nor torture will ever force me to ask for mercy…I prefer to die with my head held high, with unshakeable faith and profound trust in the destiny of my country, than to live in submission and contempt of sacred principles…
History will one day have its say, but it will not be the history taught in Brussels, Paris, Washington or the United Nations. Africa will write its own history, and it will be a history of glory and dignity.”
During his official visit to Cuba, Thomas Sankara received the Order of José Martí, the highest decoration awarded by the Republic of Cuba, from Fidel Castro in 1984.
"I am not a descendant of slaves. Don't even suggest it. I am a descendant of proud African people whose ancestors were enslaved and who fought it every step of the way. I am not a child of colonialism. Don't even speak it. My ancestors fought colonialism. I am not a slave. I am not a colonial subject. I am a lion, a fierce one, and I a going to control my narrative and not whisper, stutter, stammer or apologize when I tell it." Runoko Rashidi
The looming depression people are feeling right now is not clinical.
It's situational.
It's the direct result of constant financial stress with no visible exit.
Driving with the gas light on.
Giving up health insurance to free up cash.
Choosing between bills every month.
Skipping the doctor. Rationing groceries.
The human nervous system was not designed to live in permanent financial crisis.
And millions of Americans are living in exactly that.
Every single day.
Her name was Gisèle Halimi. Born in Tunisia in 1927 to a Jewish mother and Muslim father. Refused to eat as a child until her parents treated her the same as her brothers. She became a lawyer.
In 1960 Algeria was fighting for independence from France. The French military was using torture in its colonial prisons. Women were being assaulted, electrocuted and beaten in custody.
Nobody would defend them. Gisèle did. She stood in French courtrooms and forced the military to answer for what they had done. She made France look at itself. She won cases nobody thought were possible. Then she kept going.
She spent the next 40 years dismantling every French law that failed women. She fought for abortion rights when abortion was illegal. She argued that r*pe was not a minor offence when French courts treated it as one. She won both. She changed French law so many times the legal establishment stopped counting. When she died in 2020 France called her the most fearless lawyer in its history.
Malcolm X on Congo’s🇨🇩 Patrice Lumumba:
Lumumba was “the greatest black man who ever walked the African continent…He didn’t fear anybody. He had those people so scared they had to kill him.”
“They murdered Patrice Lumumba. They murdered him because they knew he had the ability to unite Africa.”
I arrived at work one Monday morning and found someone already sitting at my desk. Not using my computer. Just…
Sitting there. When I apologized and said, “I think you’re in my seat,” the woman looked confused. Then she smiled awkwardly.
“I thought this was my desk.” We both laughed. Until HR walked over.
The HR manager looked at us. Then asked me, “What are you doing here?” I chuckled.
“I work here.” Nobody else laughed. She frowned.
Then quietly said, “You stopped working here on Friday.” My stomach dropped. “What are you talking about?”
She turned her monitor toward me. There it was. An email sent from my company account.
My husband’s friend works in a Walmart distribution center. She says it can get very hot in there. But they finally have some decent AC. Why? Because the robots that are there now require cool air to function. Fuck the humans but cater to the machines. What a disgrace.
Never forget he was hanged by the British at exactly 8 a.m. on June 28, 1899. Ologbosere, chief of the Benin Kingdom and warrior, fought a guerrilla war for 2 years. To the British he was treacherous and barbaric, but to many Edo he was a symbol of resistance against the invaders. Photographed just before his execution.
