⁣🌍 ALKEBULAN AWAKENING SERIES — EPISODE #76 🌍

🔥 INIMBA: THE SOUTH AFRICAN PRECOLONIAL METAPHYSICAL AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL REPOSITORY OF EMPATHY 🔥

Before Ubuntu became a global buzzword, there was Inimba — a deeper, older concept of empathy woven into precolonial South African metaphysics and worldview.

Join The Emerging Alkebulan Awakening Series and Kumbukeni as Oladele Dosunmu and Nduku Mulumba sit down with Dr. Khanyisile Litchfield-Tshabalala — Author, Historian, and Pan-African — to explore Inimba: what it means, where it comes from, and why reclaiming this concept matters for how we understand African identity, connection, and healing today.

💬 What is Inimba, and how does it differ from — or deepen — concepts like Ubuntu?
💬 What does precolonial South African metaphysics teach us about empathy that modern frameworks have lost?
💬 How do we bring Inimba back into how we relate to each other, our communities, and ourselves?

In this first episode of Rooted in Her Hands, we honour Ms. Dupree’s life, her “garden grown pharmacy”, and the generosity that shaped her legacy. She gathered herbs like sassafras, rabbit tobacco, mullein, and horseradish. Preparing teas, tonics, and remedies for anyone who needed them. She never charged for her work. She simply served.

Rooted in Her Hands is a Black Woman Plant Chronicle series for Black History Month 2026, celebrating Black herbalists, healers, and plant keepers whose wisdom shaped our past and continues to guide our future. New episodes every week in February.

He wasn't even baptized. He worshipped the sun god. He murdered his own family members. And yet, Constantine became the most influential figure in the history of Christianity — not through faith, but through force.In 325 AD, the Roman Emperor Constantine summoned roughly 300 bishops to the lakeside city of Nicaea for what would become the most consequential religious gathering in history. The official story? It was about theology — settling a dispute over the nature of Jesus Christ. But the real story involves civil wars, a collapsing empire, political survival, and one man's ruthless plan to weaponize religion for imperial control.This video traces Constantine's blood-soaked rise through the chaos of the Tetrarchy, his mysterious "vision" at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, his strategic co-opting of a persecuted faith, and the explosive Arian controversy that threatened to tear his newly unified empire apart. We break down what actually happened inside that room at Nicaea, who the key players were, what was really at stake, and why the consequences of those decisions are still shaping civilizations today.The Nicene Creed wasn't just a statement of belief. It was a tool of empire. And the man who ordered it written never even considered himself a Christian — until the final hours of his life.#constantine #councilofnicaea #romanempire #nicenecreed #arianism #history #ancientrome #christianity #churchhistory #powerandpolitics #historydocumentary #empirebuilding #religioushistory #constantinethegreat #battleofmilvianbridge
