Social media influencer Luana Safire recently remembered an incident when she was 12 years old and had to stand up to her history teacher because of his low opinion of black capability.

Safire's defense of black people speaks to the invisibility of blacks and Africans in history textbooks that spread knowledge of world history. Brazil's education system, like that of many other countries, is Eurocentric in its depictions of Europeans in contrast to the way non-Europeans are presented.

Safire's desire to correct her teacher shows what happens when people of African descent begin to have access to information that has long been denied to them.

Ghana is on high alert as military deployment sparks fear along the Burkina Faso border. The sudden surge in military activity has raised concerns among citizens and neighboring countries, with many wondering what prompted this sudden move. Is Ghana preparing for a potential conflict or is this a precautionary measure? In this video, we'll delve into the details of the military deployment and explore the possible reasons behind it. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

⁣The concepts of community building and raising consciousness represent two distinct yet intertwined approaches in the work of fostering progress and empowerment within Black communities. Here's a comparison between these two models, particularly when framed around someone being a "Living Legend":
Community Building Model
This model focuses on the practical, physical, and infrastructural development of a community. It includes tangible aspects like:
Institution Creation: Founding schools, community centers, businesses, and other communal spaces.
Economic Empowerment: Encouraging collective economics and self-reliance by creating local industries or services that provide jobs and financial stability.
Organizational Leadership: Developing strong, centralized leadership structures that help guide the community toward shared goals.
Physical Resources: Ensuring basic necessities like food, shelter, safety, and health services are accessible within the community.
In the context of a Living Legend, this model would view the individual as a builder—someone who has physically transformed their environment through strategic initiatives, leading to the empowerment of the people. Their legacy would be in the enduring institutions, wealth-generating opportunities, and overall improved quality of life for the community.
Raising Consciousness Model
This model, on the other hand, focuses on the internal, intellectual, and spiritual awakening of individuals within the community. Key elements include:
Cultural Reclamation: Teaching the importance of indigenous knowledge systems, spirituality, and identity (as you have emphasized with terms like reKemetization or de-aAmw-ization).
Educational Upliftment: Providing knowledge that helps individuals critically understand historical, social, and political forces that affect their lives, particularly around issues like colonialism, white supremacy, and global oppression.
Personal Empowerment: Encouraging individuals to understand their place in the universe, their power, and their potential, leading to self-determined action.
Collective Identity: Building a shared consciousness where people see themselves as part of a larger collective struggle for liberation, and are united in their efforts to reclaim power and autonomy.
In the Living Legend framing, someone seen as raising consciousness would be celebrated for their work in transforming minds and spirits. Their legacy would lie in the awakening of critical thought, cultural pride, and the reorientation of people towards their heritage and greater purpose. They inspire generations through teaching, writing, speaking, and spiritual leadership, rather than building physical institutions.
Interconnection
While distinct, the two models are deeply interconnected. Community building cannot thrive without a raised consciousness to fuel and sustain it, and the process of raising consciousness often requires spaces and institutions to nurture it. A Living Legend can embody both, simultaneously serving as a builder of institutions and as a catalyst for mental, cultural, and spiritual awakening.
In your own work, these models could reflect different dimensions of how you approach Black liberation and empowerment through Abibitumi, as you're engaged in both practical community building (e.g., businesses, conferences, repatriation initiatives) and in consciousness-raising (e.g., language teaching, decolonization discourses, cultural education).

⁣The Gil Noble Vault refers to the extensive collection of interviews, reports, and documentaries by Gil Noble, the acclaimed journalist and host of the TV show Like It Is, which focused on issues relevant to Black communities. One of the most notable topics Noble explored was the assassination of Malcolm X, a defining moment in the history of the Black Liberation Movement.
Malcolm X, a revolutionary leader and prominent figure in the Nation of Islam (NOI) before his departure, was assassinated on February 21, 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City. Gil Noble covered the assassination and its aftermath extensively, focusing on the political, social, and conspiratorial aspects of the event. Noble's work challenged mainstream narratives and provided a platform for voices calling into question the official story regarding who was responsible for Malcolm X’s murder.
In the Gil Noble Vault, various episodes of Like It Is delve into this topic, featuring interviews with key figures such as Malcolm X’s family members, historians, scholars, and civil rights activists. These discussions often explore the role of the FBI, CIA, and the potential involvement of the NOI leadership in orchestrating or allowing Malcolm's assassination, as well as the deep divisions within the Black liberation movements of the 1960s.
The archives also include rare footage and interviews that shine a light on Malcolm X's philosophy, his impact on Black consciousness, and the legacy of his ideas long after his death. Through this vault, Gil Noble helped preserve the memory of Malcolm X and his struggle for Black liberation while encouraging ongoing inquiry into the true circumstances surrounding his death.

The Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture - and Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader - Gayton McKenzie has made an impassioned plea for an end to the bickering and infighting in the Government of National Unity (GNU). In this interview with BizNews he describes the current discord in the GNU as a “gift” to former President Jacob Zuma and his MKP. “If they are not careful, Zuma is going to become the biggest party - and the GNU is the only thing that can stop Zuma, not the ANC, the GNU…” “My biggest job as Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture is to make sure that we are one nation under God. We don't have this black, white, Indian, Coloured…We need to move away from that. We are South Africans…

What if I told you that one man's vision could transform an entire nation's agriculture? What if this transformation didn't just promise food security, but also symbolized a bold move toward real independence? Ibrahim Traoré, the young and dynamic leader of Burkina Faso, is making waves with his groundbreaking initiative to bring 2,000 tractors to revolutionize his country's agricultural sector. This isn’t just about machines—it’s about empowering rural communities, tackling food insecurity, and pushing Burkina Faso, along with the broader Sahel States, toward true independence from former colonial powers like France. Agriculture is the backbone of many African economies, and it’s time for countries like Burkina Faso to stop relying on outdated farming methods and foreign imports. Ibrahim Traoré’s tractor initiative is poised to change that, giving farmers the tools they need to increase productivity and reclaim control of their land and future. Stay with me as we dive deep into how this ambitious project is unfolding and why it could be a game-changer, not just for Burkina Faso, but for the whole of Africa. Burkina Faso’s agriculture, like much of sub-Saharan Africa, has long struggled under the weight of traditional farming practices, climate change, and a lack of resources. The country’s agricultural sector still relies heavily on manual labor, with farmers working with basic tools, outdated methods, and minimal technological support.
