Today we honor Amos Wilson.🖤

The gears that keep us running. The voice that gives us inspiration, motivation, and charts the path to psychological liberation. We want everyone—young and old—to know Amos and his work.

Not long ago, we were chatting with a few Wilsonians—those of uswho have sat at the feet of his teachings, who have had our minds reorganized by his words. And someone asked the question:"How old were you when you learned about Amos?"

One by one, the answers came. Twenty-five. Thirty-two. Forty.Forty-seven. All of them... too late.

There was a little bit of regret in that room. Not because we found him eventually—but because we wished we had found him sooner. We wished someone had placed his books in our hands when our minds were still forming. We wished his voice had been in our ears beforethe world convinced us of lies about ourselves.

We all wished we had heard his teachings earlier.

And right there, in that moment, something was born. Afrika's Army: An Amos Wilson Awakening.

Because the youngest among us deserve to grow up with Amos. They deserve to learn about the psychology of power before they learn about powerlessness. They deserve to understand that their mind is their wealth, their consciousness is their weapon, and their cultureis their foundation.

Afrika's Army is for our children.

So that one day, when they are asked, "How old were you when you learned about Amos?" — they won't have to say too late.

They'll say, "I grew up with him."

Happy Birthday, Dr. Amos Wilson. Your work lives on in the youngest soldiers of Afrika's Army. ✊🏿📚

✊🏿Join the legacy. Teach the children.

Note: Per text on video, i disagree with the usage of "Broken English" as that reduces our Black Languages and takes away our agency. It has a eurasian colonialist and racist origin. It's their perspective on how they look down on our languages, and we need to stop using their concepts as that has us self-discriminate. That aside, this is a great song covering the injected oppression of destroying one's melanin through skin lightening cancer creams.

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).
