Marcus Garvey is credited with coining the phrase “Black is beautiful.” During the 1920s the Pan Africanist leader adopted the term. Garvey encouraged Black women to embrace their natural hair and features. He said, “Don’t remove kinks from your hair. Remove them from your brain.” He believed that attempting to follow white Eurocentric standards of beauty denigrated the beauty of Black women. The concept of Black being beautiful waned and almost died after Garvey was deported and then with his death.
The Black is Beautiful movement was a powerful cultural and social movement that reemerged during the 1960s and 1970s. The term “Black is Beautiful,” usually evokes memories and/visions that might fill your head full of afros, blaxploitation films, Black empowerment, civil rights movements, and black fists held in the air. In 1962, a photographer, a group of models and a fashion show in Harlem would kick-start a cultural and political movement.
In late January 1962, a group of artists known as the African Jazz-Art Society & Studios staged a fashion show in Harlem that would change American culture forever.

Bringing a holistic perspective to how we analyze our enemies requires we identify the psychological source of the violence and manipulation that has been inflicted upon our people.

In this video we use the myth of Lilith decode how white woman relate to others and the social, historical, sexual, and environmental attacks that have targeted Afrikan people for centuries. We talk more about this and other aspects of the white asili in our upcoming course Yurugu: Decoding the Vile Nature of the White Race -- RSVP HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/y....urugu-decoding-the-v

You can watch the Spanish version of this documentary here: https://youtu.be/-5mTYXGTlfkIn southwestern Guinea Bissau there are some islands where a very special people live, the Bissago. What is it that makes them so special? It is not the fact of living in balance and harmony with the spectacular nature that surrounds them, taking from the land or the sea only what they need to survive. Neither is their deep animistic spirituality, which marks their life with rites to acquire the knowledge of their ancestors. What makes them so special is that, in the Bissago society, the woman is the protagonist.Subscribe to the channel: https://goo.gl/5Sp36BFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomoThey are the ones who decide how to manage the crops or punish the crimes, they are the priestesses of the temple, those who can communicate with the gods, the forces of nature and the spirits of the deceased. For the Bissago, the woman is feared and respected, since they consider her capable of deciding about life and death. This documentary focuses on the lives of some of the women of Eticoga, the main village on the island of Orango. Through their lives and ways of looking we will know the most outstanding and peculiar aspects of this matriarchal society so different, not only from the Western way of life, but from the rest of Africa and almost all other cultures on the planet.Original title - Queens of OrangoA film by Raúl Bueno Herrera© 2020, Licensed by 3boxmedia#documentary #women #womenempowerment #matriarchy

It is sad that we will die for white love. This week we break down our concept called "Jackie Robinson Syndrome" or JRS. We explore the effects of black inferiority in the form of the need for white love/acceptance. Some black people believe that the things white America owns, operates, or sells are better than a black person with the same things as white people. The need for white love is real. Tune in!!

Orishas - Canto Para Elewa y Chango | Album A Lo Cubano

Lyrics

Hijo Elewa, mi santo Elewa, mi vida Elewa
Mafereo Ochún el rey de los caminos
La ley de mi destino
Rojo y negro como el tinto vino
Quien me abre los caminos con su garabato
Ica de aguardiente humo de tabaco, vestido de saco
Quien me deja ver cuando estoy opaco
Síguele los pasos, pídele salúd
Y que te aleje de los malos ratos
Pido yo la bendición pa' expresar mis sentimientos
To' lo que mi pidas, dalo por echo
No profeso, mi filosofia cuando se trata de Echún
Mafereo Ofún Elewa

Canto pa' Elewa y para Changó
Canto de verdad lo digo yo
Canto pa' Elewa y para Changó
Canto de verdad lo digo yo
Lo que digo es lo que pienso
Lo que pienso es lo que siento
Canto pa' Elewa y para Changó
Canto de verdad

Yo como un rayo digo loco lo que siento
Mi voz que ruge como el viento
Blanco e rojo represiento
Changó virtuoso gordete como un oso
Bien perezoso, jocoso, fogoso
Santa Bárbara bendita es tu Changó
Guía por el bien camino a tus hijos como yo
Dale la luz señora de virtud
Fuerza, esperanza, en ti confianza, con tu espada avanza
Mi miko e tan fuerte como el machete de Egún
Y son tan dulces como el melao de ochún
Soy un Orishas, tu boca cierra
Enviado por Oloffi para gobernar la Tierra

Canto pa' Elewa y para Changó
Canto de verdad lo digo yo
Canto pa' Elewa y para Changó
Canto de verdad lo digo yo
Lo que digo es lo que pienso
Lo que pienso es lo que siento
Canto pa' Elewa y para Changó
Canto de verdad

Donada para los Orishas
Que llevo en el corazón con amor
Pido que me den salúd e inspiración
Y también la bendición
Pido para todo aquel que tiene fé
Lo mismo que para mi tu lo ves
Para el necio y el cobarde
Que jamás estén aquí

Orishas llega con su letra del año underground
Pa'los que han sido traidores no durarán un round
Yo protegido me encuentro por la naturaleza
Y con firmeza, pa' to los buenos donaré mi inteligencia
Que el fruto de la paciencia esté en tus manos
Mucho trabajo y sufrimiento a los Orishas le ha costado
Poder estar en el lugar que se han ganado
Aunque montones de veces tropiece con ese
Que cresce desde que fallece a veces docenas de veces
Veces no merece la que acontece aunque estreses
Pa' los Orishas su boca no crece
Recordarás mi voz, antes que reces, antes que reces, reces

Canto pa' Elewa y para Changó
Canto de verdad lo digo yo
Canto pa' Elewa y para Changó
Canto de verdad lo digo yo
Lo que digo es lo que pienso
Lo que pienso es lo que siento
Canto pa' Elewa y para Changó
Canto de verdad.
