Hotep Afreekans!,
I REALLY appreciate the info at the Council of Independent Black Institutions website
as well i have previously visited AYAED also and was extremely impressed with the content of the website
and their classes etc. i am interested in participating in their retreats as well, if time, finances & circumstance will allow me to travel to that specific area in the future.
i have contacted Mama Afiya before to partake in the Twi classes
but when she sent me the page to open i was unable to access it. i think she also tried to call me but i was not home. anyway, she did put me in touch with a bro. in Bermuda (who is of jamaican parentage, like myself), and he tried to link me up with the GOD COLLECTIVE group in Toronto to see if WE could try to org. a retreat session for Mama Afiya and Baba Wekesa to come to Toronto/Montreal for this purpose.
unfortunately, despite all my/our efforts to contact them, the GOD COLLECTIVE has not yet contacted me but the bro. in Bermuda and i have formed an online friendship due to the link thru Mama Afiya.
I hope that i can enroll in the nxt online Afreekan language classes if my NEW responsibilities w/ the SOON-COMING-baby-warrior
do not interfere with my ability to participate. for all of US who have young children, plz go to the website
www.cibi.org, then click on PUBLICATIONS-you will find amazing books for sale (for children & adults 2) one is called A IS FOR AFREEKANS/a beginner book for toddlers to learn to read and also learn about their Afreekan inheritance at the same time.
i think this was a wonderful BLACKNIFICENT idea
for an action alert, especially for the 1st month of the yr. every1 here at assata should atleast write to the founders of this AYA institute to encourage and support their re-Afreekanization endeavours, TRULY IT BENEFITS ALL OF US. it is also a good sign and a wake-up call to all of US to fully actualize OUR RE-SURRECTION PROCESS AS AFREEKANS IN THE DIASPORA,
i am very delighted too that it puts the focus on our watoto (children) as well....
SANKOFA!,
