Inspired by the life of Kamerunian Freedom Fighter, Ruben Um Nyobè, Yobè is Afrikan Spirituality and Combatives, a comprehensive lifestyle designed for people of Afrikan descent to heal from racial trauma and historical suffering through learning Afrikan-centered spiritual systems and self defense.

As such, Yobè is an Afrikan (Alkebulan) Martial Art (Montu) purposed for the liberation and restoration of our Black cultural and spiritual identity before slavery and colonialism. It is a sacred science and a way of life for people of Afrikan descent.

Terminology:

Yobè pays homage to Alkebulan (Afrikan) Kamerunian Warrior and Pan-Afrikan Freedom Fighter, Ruben Um Nyobè who fought against French colonialism in Cameroon before the French murdered him on September 13, 1958.

Through the centuries, our ancestors have always centered Afrikan warrior arts into the culture and spirituality of the people from the music within the drum circle to the charms carried by Dambe fighters. The word Martial Arts comes from the Roman god of war, Mars.

The Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) NTR of War, Montu, is often used to describe the Afrikan Martial Arts. The Kemetic tomb of Baqet III shows various combative positions that appear to be wrestling or grappling.

Throughout the continent of Afrika, wrestling is often considered to be our martial art or Montu. Which literally means to get your opponent on their back, belly, or side. Such an opponent has been successfully “wrestled.” These forms of wrestling include the Laamb of Senegal, Ijakadi or Gidigbo of the Yoruba, and many others.

Alkebulan- Ancient name for the continent commonly miscalled Africa

Afraka (Afrakan): “Af” means flesh as in our black and brown skin. “Ra” means the Ultimate Light which illuminates all things. “Ka” is the Living Spirit within all things. To call our Motherland Afraka and ourselves Afrakan is to connect our physical to our spiritual Afrakan Self. To be Afrakan is not just about skin color and goes beyond race.

Nu Afrakans- Those individuals of African descent who are conscious and connected to their Afrikan ancestry, acknowledge their Creator through actions towards Afrikan unity, and live to pass on their knowledge to the next generations forever.

Moyo- Spiritual Energy

Yoruba:
Ija- Fight
Ijakadi- Wrestling, Combat, Fighting
Gidigbo- Wrestling
Ogun- Orisha of Warriorhood & Metalwork
Ori- Head
Ese- Punch
Onapasi- Kick

Kemetic:
NTR- The All, the Father and Mother of all existence, infinite Consciousness
Ntru- Cosmic forces or Spiritual expressions of the NTR.
Ma’at-Kemetic Principles of Truth, Justice, Harmony, Balance, Order, Propriety, and Reciprocity
Montu- Kemetic NTR of War used to describe Afrikan Combatives, Wrestling & Fighting
Smai Tawi- Kemetic practice of energy movement and postures similar to Yoga

Some Afrikan forms of martial (montu) arts include:

Knocking & Kicking- Believed to be descended from Engolo to the Americas

Sunumi Brown is a visionary leader in psychedelic education. Her groundbreaking work has been featured in TEDX, Oakland Hyphae, Forbes for her course with Doubleblindmag on Psychedelics and Maternity, and in The Guardian’s article “The Black Mothers Finding Freedom In Mushrooms.”

What if the greatest obstacle to healing isn't the pain itself—but the way we've been taught to think about healing?

In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore why healing was never meant to depend on a single solution. From stillness and breathwork to music, community, and other holistic practices, our guest explains why true healing happens when we move beyond a "one-size-fits-all" mindset and embrace a more interconnected approach.

Whether you're interested in mental health, spirituality, personal growth, or community wellness, this discussion challenges conventional ideas and offers a fresh perspective on what it really means to heal.

What You'll Learn:

Why searching for one "magic cure" can limit healing
The importance of community in the healing process
How repetitive thought patterns can keep us feeling stuck
Why holistic healing requires multiple tools working together
A new perspective on healing, growth, and transformation

Why many Jamaicans can’t go to the beach
Why many Jamaicans can’t go to the beach Baka Omubo 5 Views • 29 days ago

For millions of people, Jamaica is the ultimate Caribbean paradise. But for many Jamaicans, getting to the beach isn't as simple as it seems.

After spending more than a year investigating, ITV News travelled across the island to find out why communities say they're being shut out from their own coastline. From the famous Bob Marley Beach in Bull Bay to Montego Bay and Puerto Seco, we hear from fishermen, surfers, local residents, campaigners, lawyers, business owners and Cedella Marley as they debate who should have access to Jamaica's beaches.

Supporters of private developments argue investment has transformed neglected beaches, improving safety, facilities and tourism. Critics say rising development, historic laws and new government policies are making it harder for ordinary Jamaicans to enjoy the coastline they call home. We examine both sides of one of Jamaica's biggest and most emotional public debates.

In this documentary:
Why many Jamaicans say public beach access is disappearing
The battle over Bob Marley Beach
The role of tourism and resort development
Jamaica's colonial-era beach laws explained
The campaign to protect public beaches
Why recent hurricanes have intensified the debate over the coastline
