Caption : Reminder to self: In order to create new models of existence we must continue to Rebel, against systems of thinking that limit our capacity to time or space. Do not accept their definitions, explore their intentions, defy their expectations. Exercise your Vision and manifest defiantly. Do not be disillusioned by their conclusion.

Caption : When they ask, tell them. Tell them we are not lost, we are just wandering, wondering about Home. It is not a sin to return and remember that which you have forgotten. Sankofa. If they never wonder, how will our story continue? I beg, when they ask, please tell them.🙏🏾🦋🌏 #tellthechildrenthetruth #rightyourstory #africandiaspora #getactive #morereasoning #moretimeinvested #artisgovernance #buildcomeunity #oneblood #Repost @orijinculture ・・・ Dear Mama Africa, I write to you today filled with so much love and pride of being a seed of your womb. Forget about what I said the other time on the phone, I was just being a little girl missing her mama 😢😊. You know how much I love you Mama and I’m always unapologetic about who I am and where I’m from. Thanks to your beauty in me, I wear an identity which is so unique and distinct yet beautifully connect and identical to my siblings regardless of the diversity in skin tones, shaped noses and difference in cultures. Ohh yes it’s amazing how beautifully connected we are as siblings; #Ghana, #Nigeria, #Egypt, #Ethiopia, #SouthAfrica, #Brazil, #Jamaica, #Trinidad, #Haiti… (You name it all) . We are growing to love each other more and more, just as you want us to be. Anyway “Nakupenda mama”( I love you, Mama). Will write to you again next week 😘 ———————————————————————- #LetterToAfrica #africanlove #africaninspired This moment and the beautiful Africa bag created by @orijinculture💜 📸@aboya.8 Styling by @iconvanessadelah Safe space provided by @habeshainc

Caption : To my First born, on the occasion of your first Revolution around the Sun. Today, I find myself on a movie set, working… somewhere far from home, creating Art. And you are here , wrapped in your Daddy’s arms, watching, learning, soaking it all in, trying to be patient as I navigate these steps towards manifesting a dream once deferred. I am in awe of you Kitai-Oluwa, every single day. You are brave, curious, loving, adventurous, observant, funny, and such a little souljah already. You have come at a time when the world is evolving from old thoughts into new ways of being. We have never been closer, or as far away as we are these days. I’m grateful for your presence baby boy, and the wisdom that you have already shown me. I’m so honoured to be your Mommy. Now, I overstand so much more about the concepts of Love and Sacrifice. They are Fierce, Divine and Infinitely interwoven in a way that exceeds what we can consciously perceive. I pray that Jah guide and protect you along this journey Sun. May the fruit of my womb know an inheritance as great as the goodness and mercies that have followed I and more. Thank you for choosing me 💜 #FirstBorn #EmancipationdayBaby #NewLife #OneYearOld #GiveThanks 📸 by Daddy @komiolaf

Caption : Monty Howell is the eldest son of Leonard Howell, the Founding Father of the Rastafari movement. Leonard Howell purchased 500 acres of land to create a safe space for ex slaves seeking a new way of life off the plantation. For 16 years, Pinnacle was fully self sufficient from the farming of fruits, vegetables and ganja. When he was 5 years old, his mother was killed and his father framed for her murder. He recalls standing in the Spanish Town court room watching his father from behind the barriers while standing on his tip toes. “My father was a very forthright man. Even when they tried to tear him down and belittle him in front of the nation, he never bowed his head. He knew he was a threat to them, a free mind in a colonial world. He never hurt my mother. My father wasn’t even on the Pinnacle grounds when it happened. I watched as the State took turns trying to twist the truth, eventually sending him to the asylum on many occasions to de-stabilize the growing movement. He had gone to Kingston on a business trip as he often did when she died. She went missing for days, and when they found her, she had to be buried her on the spot even before he came back home. For years, I remember going to her grave side and sitting under that tree for hours just to feel close to her. Children are the real victims of political violence.“ Today 80 plus years later, when he visits Pinnacle, the trees and rocks that once marked this memory have been destroyed and sold to the highest bidder. In May 1954, the JLP government destroyed the community and scattered hundreds of families, destitute in the streets. Pinnacle lands have been stolen by private developers with full knowledge and ultimate participation of the Jamaican government. Private homes now cover the hills where the first RasTafari community existed, and still the Jamaican government continues to deny their responsibility in restoring the legacy and birthplace of the RasTafari movement. Let us never forget the sacrifices that many have had to endure in the name of RasTafari. #preserveheritage #rememberpinnacle #thefightisntover #mightcannotdefeatright

Caption : It was a typical Jamaican Summer day in the 90’s, and we were playing outdoor on my Nana’s farm, wondering through the high bushes in search of adventure. There was this beautiful black bull that we would always tease from afar, even though we knew better. On this day, we decided to enter its territory, unaware that he hadn’t been properly secured after grazing. We threw a few stones at him, and ran around his playground making fun. He observed us intently for a few moments before he gave chase and I fell trying to get away. Ingemar was a clear distance ahead, but he turned back to pick me up and distract the bull while I ran to safety. Fearless and confident, he danced with the beautiful beast, then skillfully scaled the fence. We laughed until tears fell from our happy eyes as we cleaned thorns from our shorts and wiped blood from scars… another successful adventure on the battlefield. A favourite memory, one of many. My first real friend in life… Little brother Inge 💜 Happy Earthlight Bro. #reflections #safespace #familyvibes #mybrother 📸@ahutchphoto

Caption : If you never travel, how do you know you are living your best life? How will you know that there are places in this world that you belong to even though you have never been? Memories that belong to you that you have forgotten? Freedom and movement are parallel experiences. It wasn’t so long ago that we didn’t have a choice but to stay confined to the boundaries of geography and nationality as the ultimate indicators of our history and identity. We are of the Earth, go discover each other and yourself in others. Even the faraway places are closer than you think. And we are not as different as distance would want us to believe. #earthrunnings #webelong #buildcomeunity #iexisteverywhere #belove

Caption : Reminder to self… We have never been who we must become today for the sake of tomorrow… overcome petty prejudice to achieve the ultimate allegiance, which is not to Nations, but to human beings. Some won’t recognize that Love in its purest form must be defiant. To create new models of coexistence, we must redefine Respect and Dignity. Standardize Grace as protocol.

Caption : Dem ago tired fi see me face… cuz we never get weary yet. I never come to fight flesh and blood, but spiritual wickedness in high and low places. Grandpa sang it, and we still saying it. So if you don’t see me smiling, it ain’t got nothing to do with you. We living in a serious time, get active… so much things to say but we still have a lot of work to do… better. Right the story, or someone else may write it wrong. The principle and integrity must always be maintained as we seek to represent and defend the dynasty and legacy that we have inherited as Children of Reggae and RasTafari without apology. Free the people with music so we can build our own safe spaces. Liberated, Emancipated, Livicated to something greater than we know how to explain. A knowing that we are greater than they ever wanted us to believe. We can Be Love… that One Love that lives in action and not just rhetoric or sentiment. A fight that we find necessary to preserve living heritage and each other. Let the hungry be fed, the naked be clothed, the homeless be sheltered, the sick be nourished, the elders protected and the infants be cared for. #Buildcomeunity #dobetter #africandiaspora #oneloveisaction #eachoneteachone #createclassroomseverywhere #wewillrizetogether 📸@gdfilms taken on Bob Marley #soulrebel73 Earthstrong celebrations @bobmarleymuseum

Caption : Reminder to self: Stay #undefined. Our Identity as Africans in the diaspora is a thing that instigates a lot of questions. Conversations that try to evaluate ‘well, exactly how African are you?’ Maybe, Maybe, Maybe it’s the kink in my hair, or the clothes I choose to wear. Or maybe it’s the tone of my skin, or what happens to my DNA when I hear Africans sing. Maybe, Maybe, Maybe it’s the curve of my hips, or the shape of my nose and my lips. Or the fact that my ancestors were apart of Kingdoms on the continent before we were stolen away as chattel on a ship. How African are you? Be what it may, whatever it is, it comes from within, and lives without external opinion. A simple truth… We are not African because we are born in Africa. We are African because Africa is born in us.

Caption : Reminder to self: No one person has the single solution to our collective problems. @iamhamamat @chakabars and I visited Akosombo today to check on the progress of the new Pan-African Technology High School we are helping to build. 😊💜🌺 In a few months, hundreds of children will be students in a school that was once a Vision. We all have a mission to fulfill, passion for a purpose, and a part to play in the healing of this world we have inherited. Be open to learn as you grow. Stop playing with life… Live! And share knowledge, time, space and positive vibrations. Beautiful things can happen when we decide it’s time. It’s time. #Africaunite #Wewillrizetogether #Ghana #Jamaica #oneloveinaction #Buildcomeunity

Caption : We are living in very potent times where we have youth, access to each other and divine inspiration on our side. We all have to share this Earth, and apply knowledge that will heal her. Don’t be afraid to redefine how we interface with the world. If they build walls, use them as bridges into conversations that must be had before the Sun sets. Bits and pieces of our truth lay scattered all over the Earth. Go… find it and be more whole. Love and Honour to the Mexican Family for the important role your Nation played in defence and protection of Ethiopia at the League of Nations in opposition to the Italian invasion. Mexico was one of 5 member states to vote in support of Ethiopia, ensuring the right to a seat at the table. 💜@void_mx for the Vision and taking a step towards a greater purpose. Get active. Plant seeds that will feed generations. One Love is Action. 🇲🇽 #Buildcomeunity #Preserveheritage #InternationalRelations #RasTafari #Solidarity #Humanity #Coexist #BeLove #HealingOfAllNations

Caption : I often wonder what it is that limits us from remembering who we were before this time. Before we entered this realm and Babylon told us who to be. We were created to help fulfill creation with the visions that come to us through dreams and ideas, and sometimes lessons. I believe that we all existed before this now and have come again. There has been lifetimes of grassroots work invested in the progress of humanity. Blood, sweat and tears to realize a dream of truth and equal rights. Time has been persistent in creating space for healing, for fulfillment, for redemption, for justice. Tomorrow is almost here, so we must be diligent on the mission to remember who we were, and actualize all that we can be. #getactive #timeisnow #humanityovervanity #kosmikdust Photo by @ahutchphoto

Caption : Step outside of it all. Away from the loose chatter and opinions that don’t matter, to the places where there is room to grow. Now Grow. Don’t be confined by rules and regulations written from limited perspectives that seek to define you. Do not comply! Apply yourself to Create space for yourself. Reclaim it, Declare it, Embrace it! Not everyone will overstand, especially if they only see with 2 eyes. Feel it and know it. We are on a battlefield to preserve our Spiritual beings while we have this Human experience. If you listen carefully you will hear. Natural is the Mystic.

Caption : ‘Keep your culture, don’t be afraid of the vulture. Grow your dreadlocks, don’t be afraid of the wolf pack. Rasta Man Live Up.’ – Bob Marley What my grandfather gave to this world is hard to quantify in words. He instilled a unique kind of confidence for the downtrodden, an inherent defiance in our living, a new way forward despite the colonial inheritance of our past. As keepers of the legacy it is with dutiful responsibility that we continue to rebel against systems of thought that do not suit us. Quietly, with discipline and humility, we continue to build character and scatter seeds of truth to plant deeper roots.
