⁣As we begin Black History Month, this should not just be a reflection on how dope we are… it should also be a call to what Our-story will be moving forward.

It’s more than learning about our past, more than remembering our Ances-Starz, it’s about making sure when we transition, we’re spoken in the same if not higher regard.

Dr. John Henrik Clarke’s last messages to us was “Pan-African or Perish” where he spoke of our need to realize “we all we got!” We can see this today as the ideology of white superiority and eugenics seeks to continually downplay our contributions to the world; the latest the canceling of Critical Race Theory (CRT) being taught in schools—Florida just banned it.

We truly are all we got and until we realize this on a national—and better—GLOBAL scale, our future will continue to be just a celebration of what we “did”, not what we’re going to do!

Let’s move beyond the “know" and dwell in the “do”. Our Ances-Starz did what was necessary to sustain/survive. It’s time those who’ve read and memorized enough about our culture and our S/Hero’s, become them ourselves!

If not, you’re not serious about surviving, I’m Sirius B! Ain’t no mystery god gonna save us; our Ances-Starz won’t either if we don’t help ourselves!

On the most basic of levels, you should:

- Have a “Go Bag" filled with essentials in case you just gotta go with no time to pack. Dry food edibles, water, knives (use for defense, building or cooking), small shovel, seeds (for growing or bartering), light camp gear, electric lighter and flashlight (@CitricsRenewables), several pairs of socks, and durable shoes just for starts.

- Store seeds and know how to plant food. No matter the size of your living space, learn! If you allow someone to feed you, you also allow them to starve you!

- Build up your cardio in case you have to run or walk miles to safety. It also keeps your heart strong.

- Teas, aspirin, first-aid kit, lotions. Also learn about plants so you can actually find remedies without going to Walgreens or Walmart. Remember, the Pharmacy started on the Farm!

- Lastly, let me help you get financially fit @Cryptowoke! You can’t fund any kind of sustainability if you don’t know have the money to pay for it or have it growing passively without you having to work!

Being Afrikan is more than about a month, it’s a lifestyle!

PLAN IT, then PLANT IT for the PLANET! ✊🏿❤️🖤💚

The Pan African Congress Movement (PACM) is promoting the theme of the Grand African Renaissance for a number of successive African Liberation Day (ALD) conferences. As 2023 will be the second year we use the theme, the title of ALD this year is, The Grand African Renaissance (Part 2).The Grand African Renaissance means that we Africans must have a Grand African Renaissance (or Grand African Renewal or Rebirth) as individuals and as a people, so that we may return to our authentic African culture and modernise it, so that we may manifest our Pan African ideals. This Grand African Renaissance will not be achieved overnight and has to focus on the following areas: Spirituality, Languages, Health, Economics, Politics, Entertainment, Education, Labour, Law, Sex and War.This show is the ALD launch event, an international, and Pan African panel reasoning on: How do we support the Grand African Renaissance individually and as a people?The Pan African, international, panellists are: Baba Professor James Small.A scholar activist, dynamic speaker, and organisational consultant.

We will do this jointly with like-minded Africans and African organisations in the UK and globally, as the sum of our parts are greater than our individual efforts.

An impresario in the broadest and most creative sense of the word, Quincy Jones' career has encompassed the roles of composer, record producer, artist, film producer, arranger, conductor, instrumentalist, TV producer, record company executive, magazine founder and multi-media entrepreneur. As a master inventor of musical hybrids, he has shuffled pop, soul, hip-hop, jazz, classical, African and Brazilian music into many dazzling fusions, traversing virtually every medium, including records, live performance, movies and television.
Celebrating more than 50 years performing and being involved in music, Quincy's creative magic has spanned over six decades, beginning with the music of the post-swing era and continuing through today's high-technology, international multi-media hybrids. In the mid-50′s, he was the first popular conductor-arranger to record with a Fender bass. His theme from the hit TV series Ironside was the first synthesizer-based pop theme song. As the first black composer to be embraced by the Hollywood establishment in the 60′s, he helped refresh movie music with badly needed infusions of jazz and soul. His landmark 1989 album, Back On The Block--named "Album Of The Year" at the 1990 Grammy Awards-- brought such legends as Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Miles Davis together with Ice T, Big Daddy Kane and Melle Mel to create the first fusion of the be bop and hip hop musical traditions; while his 1993 recording of the critically acclaimed Miles and Quincy Live At Montreux, featured Quincy conducting Miles Davis' live performance of the historic Gil Evans arrangements from the Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess and Sketches of Spain sessions, garnered a Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Performance. As producer and conductor of the historic "We Are The World" recording (the best-selling single of all time) and Michael Jackson's multi-platinum solo albums, Off The Wall, Bad and Thriller (the best selling album of all time, with over 46 million copies sold), Quincy Jones stands as one of the most successful and admired creative artist/executives in the entertainment world.
