Bunseki Fu-Kiau, Ph.D. is one of the great scholars of the African religion, and the leading authority on the Bantu-Kongo civilization. He is also a genuine practitioner of the Kongo spiritual tradition. He is initiated into the three "secret societies" Lemba, Khimba and Kimpasi. Lemba is the foundation for several African based religious practices including Palo Mayombe (Cuba), Vodou Petro (Haiti) and Candomble Angola (Brasil). African cosmology of the Bantu-Kongo explores the Bantu-Kongo religious and philosophical teachings, as well as concepts of law and crime. It connects the reader with one of the most ancient and powerful spiritual traditions-explore "seven-direction walk" of our origin and links to society, nature and the universe.

Their language, Afaan Oromo, is one of the most widely spoken languages in Africa, with an estimated 30 to 65 million speakers primarily in Ethiopia, but also in parts of Kenya and Somalia.

Dr. Thomas Dykstra, Laboratory Director of Dykstra Labs and AEA Scientific Advisor, is a trained entomologist with a vast background in agricultural consulting. For years, Tom has been illuminating farmers to the science behind insect pressure and demonstrating why insects do not—and cannot—attack healthy plants.
In our latest webinar, Dr. Dykstra sits down with John Kempf to explain what constitutes a healthy plant, the machinations of insect digestion, and how to use the Leaf Brix chart as a reference guide for any kind of pest pressure.

In 1984, President Captain Thomas Sankara shocked the world with a bold speech at the United Nations — but what happened after is rarely talked about.He walked the streets of Harlem, met with African Americans, and made a powerful discovery: the struggle of Black people in America and Africa were deeply connected. From that moment, he envisioned a global institution to unite the Black world — the Institut des Peuples Noirs.Decades later, in 2025, Burkina Faso's new revolutionary leader Ibrahim Traoré is reviving that vision — and Black America is watching. This is the secret link between Black America and Burkina Faso that history tried to erase.In this video, we explore:- Sankara’s visit to Harlem and his message to the diaspora 🇺🇸✊🏿- The founding of the Institut des Peuples Noirs (IPN) 🏛️- Ibrahim Traoré’s bold decision to bring it back in 2025 🔥- Why this moment matters for Pan-Africanism and Black unity 🌍🔔 Subscribe for more stories #ibrahimtraoré #thomassankara #burkinafaso #panafricanism #africa #america #blackamerica
