In Southern Benin lies Lake Nokoué, a shimmering lagoon linked to the Atlantic Ocean. Centuries ago, the Tofin people sought refuge from slavery and found salvation on these waters. Here, they built Ganvié, the "African Venice," a floating village whose name means "Here, I’m saved." This unique haven, rich with history and resilience, is where Marc Thiercelin embarks on an unforgettable journey to meet the Tofin community and uncover their incredible story of survival and ingenuity.Documentary: People of the Sea – Ep 18 : Benin (2018)Directed by: Matthieu MailletProduction : Découpages & ARTE FranceWe fully own the rights to the use of the published content.

Victoria Santa Cruz | Me Gritaron Negra (Afro Perú). ‘Me Gritaron Negra’ es uno de los poemas más importantes e intensos de Victoria, porque además ella misma es el gran protagonista: lo escribió inspirada en un mal rato que pasó en su propia la infancia

‘Me Gritaron Negra’ es uno de los poemas más importantes e intensos de Victoria,
porque además ella misma es el gran protagonista: lo escribió inspirada en un mal
rato que pasó en su propia la infancia. Victoria comentó muchos años después que
una niña blanca llegó a vivir a su barrio cuando ella tenía cinco o siete años y le prohibió
a sus amigas jugar con ella, “si juegan con esa negrita yo me voy”, les dijo. Ese episodio
la llenó de un resentimiento, que luego se transformó en un orgullo y una valentía que
dieron grandes frutos y reconocimientos a nivel mundial, no por algo Victoria representa
el “orgullo negro” de una raza maravillosa, la suya.Victoria Santa Cruz, heroína del arte negro peruano, le preguntaron en su última entrevista: ¿qué te ha enseñado el racismo?, respondió: "dentro de poco, dejaré esta vida ... y quiero irme en paz, con la conciencia tranquila y ya veremos qué sucede aquí . Pero todo está debilitado y dislocado en el mundo. Todos están perdiendo porque realmente, no es así cómo se pelea".

Tenia siete años apenas, apenas siete años,
¡Qué siete años!
¡No llegaba a cinco siquiera!
De pronto unas voces en la calle
me gritaron ¡Negra!
¡Negra! ¡Negra! ¡Negra! ¡Negra! ¡Negra! ¡Negra! ¡Negra!
¿Soy acaso negra? me dije SI!
¿Qué cosa es ser negra?
¡Negra!
Y yo no sabía la triste verdad que aquello escondía.
¡Negra!
Y me sentí negra,
¡Negra!
Como ellos decían
¡Negra!
Y retrocedí
¡Negra!
Como ellos querían
¡Negra!
Y odie mis cabellos y mis labios gruesos
y mire apenada mi carne tostada
Y retrocedí
¡Negra!
Y retrocedí
¡Negra! ¡Negra! ¡Negra! ¡Negra!...
Y pasaba el tiempo,
y siempre amargada
Seguía llevando a mi espalda
mi pesada carga
¡Y como pesaba¡
Me alacié el cabello,
me polveé la cara,
y entre mis cabellos siempre resonaba la misma palabra
¡Negra! ¡Negra! ¡Negra! ¡Negra!
¡Negra! ¡Negra! ¡Negra!
Hasta que un día que retrocedía, retrocedía y que iba a caer
¡Negra! ¡Negra! ¡Negra! ¡Negra!...
¿Y qué?
¡Negra!
Si
¡Negra!
Soy
¡Negra!
Negra
¡Negra!
Negra soy
¡Negra! Si
¡Negra!
Soy
¡Negra!
Negra
Negra soy
De hoy en adelante no quiero
laciar mi cabello
No quiero
Y voy a reírme de aquellos,
que por evitar – según ellos –
que por evitarnos algún sinsabor
Llaman a los negros gente de color
¡ Y de que color ¡
NEGRO
¡ Y que lindo suena ¡
NEGRO
¡ Y que ritmo tiene ¡
NEGRO NEGRO NEGRO NEGRO...
Al fin
Al fin comprendí
AL FIN
Ya no retrocedo
AL FIN
Y avanzo segura
AL FIN
Avanzo y espero
AL FIN
Y bendigo al cielo porque quiso Dios
que negro azabache fuese mi color
Y ya comprendí
AL FIN
Ya tengo la llave
NEGRO NEGRO NEGRO NEGRO...
¡ Negra Soy ¡

What happens when decisions are being made about historic diasporans without historic diasporans in the room?In this powerful interview, Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon, Founder and Official Spokesperson of the Decade of Our Repatriation (D.O.O.R.) and Associate Professor at the University of Ghana Institute of African Studies, lays out the real issue at the heart of citizenship, repatriation, and reparative justice in Ghana: lack of representation.He explains why the ultimate goal is not just to talk about the challenges, but to secure a real seat at the table for historic diasporans through systems, structures, infrastructure, and processes that allow the people most affected to select or elect their own representatives based on a clear mandate.This discussion also addresses:citizenship hurdles facing diasporansthe burden of high fees and DNA requirementsthe gap between global reparations talk and local lived realitythe importance of self-reparations in smoothing the path homewhy representation matters in shaping policyAs Ghana speaks boldly on reparative justice on the world stage, this conversation asks an urgent question: what does justice look like in practice for those seeking repatriation, citizenship, and belonging right here at home?Watch, share, and join the movement toward real representation and meaningful change.#door #decadeofourrepatriation #repatriation #citizenship #historicdiasporans #ghana #reparativejustice #blackpower #representationmatters

Wisdom isn't found in one person
Anansi shows God how a lie can be more hurtful than a wound. God realizes that wisdom cannot be found in one person. He rewards Anansi by naming all stories Anansi stories.

The storyteller
Kwame Sakyi
More from this storyteller: Interview with Kwame Sakyi (b)

Wisdom isn't found in one person (Twi)
Once upon if time God lived in his cottage. The name of the cottage was: There's no one besides me. Kwaku Anansi also lived in a cottage not so far away from him. The name of his cottage was: Wisdom isn't found in one person. They became good friends. One day kwaku Anansi asked God: 'What is more painful: the incision of Tribal marks or to be falsely accused of something?' God answered that a blade would cut your flesh, but when you are falsely accused of something you could just walk away and deny it. One day Kwaku Anansi went to God's cottage and relieved himselve on the stove. The next morning God's mother-in-law found the mess and was shocked and told everybody in the village. Meanwhile Kwaku Anansi hired the Rat to digg a tunnel to the room where God kept his talking drums. That same day the drums started talking and saying that God had done the deed. God couldn't bare the false accusations and wanted to kill himself. Kwaku Anansi reminded him of their conversation and God realised that false accusations could be as painful as the incisions of tribal marks. God now understood why Kwaku Anansi had named his cottage: Wisdom isn't found in one person. And from then on assigned all stories to his name. That is how all stories became Anansie stories.

Why does France and the West hate Captain Ibrahim Traoré despite all the incredible changes he’s making for Burkina Faso and Africa? The truth is simple: a free Africa terrifies them. After another failed attempt to overthrow Traoré, after General Michael Langley’s shady visit to Ivory Coast, and amid loud accusations against Burkina Faso, something unstoppable is rising. Africa’s youth are awake — and they refuse to be silent.From Ouagadougou to Bamako, from Niamey to every hidden corner of the continent, a fire is spreading. The schemes of the West and their local collaborators are crumbling before the determination of a people who have chosen to fight for their freedom, no matter the cost.Before you hear the powerful words of Kenyan activist Dennis Wanjala, we’ll first show you what Wode Maya — Africa’s top YouTuber — witnessed firsthand in Burkina Faso. Hope is alive. Africa is rising. Watch till the end and be part of the movement.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Thau-Thau Haramanuba—respected elder, scholar, and voice of African spirituality—to explore what it truly means to reclaim ancestral wisdom in a world shaped by colonial religion. From the meaning of "Mimu" to the role of ancestors, he challenges Western constructs of God, sin, and worship, offering a bold redefinition of the divine rooted in African thought. This conversation is a must-watch for anyone seeking spiritual clarity, cultural grounding, or a deeper understanding of Africa’s spiritual legacy.


Watch. Listen. Question everything.

Africa just changed the entire game — and the world wasn’t ready. In a historic move that could redefine global technology, all 54 African countries are merging into ONE digital superpower, creating a unified online market that rivals the EU, India, and even China. This is the beginning of Africa’s Single Digital Market, and it’s about to flip the internet upside down.This Black Culture Diary investigation uncovers how African leaders, tech innovators, and the Smart Africa Alliance quietly built the foundations for a continent-wide digital revolution. From cross-border mobile payments to shared data centers, cybersecurity alliances, unified SIM regulations, and instant e-commerce across Africa — this isn’t a dream. It’s already happening.We dive deep into the hidden negotiations, the Western tech giants trying to slow it down, and the African startups preparing to explode onto the global stage. With 1.4 billion people connected under one digital identity system, Africa is becoming the largest digital economy on Earth — and the old powers are terrified.This isn’t just a tech upgrade. It’s the birth of a global digital empire — built in Africa, by Africa, for Africa.As the African Diaspora saying goes, "I am because we are, and we are because I am."Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channe....l/UC2vy1ztN3iredhD_o Africa Son's Doing Well; https://www.youtube.com/@BlackCultureDiary/store ============================Sources:https://www.graphic.com.gh/new....s/general-news/afric https://exportfocusafrica.com/....2025/11/19/africa-ac like, comment, subscribe, and ring the bell!
