The Thatch and the Spark: Reclaiming Kuumba within Kujichagulia https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-thatch-and-the-spark--72513557 "The rain falls on every roof, but it stays longest on the one that is well thatched." Pull up a chair on the porch, family. Let’s sit with that ancestral medicine for a minute. Right now, we are standing firmly on a day of Kuumba (Creativity) , positioned directly in the middle of a week of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) , all while navigating the larger cycle of Ujima (Collective Work) . That is a potent, heavy alignment. It is an ancestral algorithm designed to remind you exactly who you are before the world told you who you had to be. Look at our collective journey as Black people in America. We have never lacked Kuumba . We took the scraps left at the back of the house and turned them into soul food. We took a language meant to chain us and bent it into blues, jazz, hip-hop, and gospel. Our creativity is a global currency that the entire ...

How to pour Libations

We pour libations/ to connect with all that is/ and to cleanse our hearts/ I need to start this article by stating this information is based on my personal experience. I have been pouring libations for at least 20 years all over the country and personally. Libations for me is a process of remembering, and connecting or re-connecting to not only the Spirit but everything around us . When we pour libations we are opening ourselves as well as the group to the axe ' of the entire Universe . I first must admit that I do not belong to a group, sect or religious order.

Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...

So the bat, slick with the tongue, says, “I’m not a bird—I’m a mouse.” The weasel lets him go. Later, the same bat falls again. This time, a different weasel catches him. But this weasel hates mice. So what does the bat say? “I’m not a mouse—I’m a bird.” And he gets set free again. Now, you could say the bat was being dishonest. But hold on. Let’s go de...
