STORIES FROM THE VILLAGE

With members of the griot way ensemble we will continue to explore what the feminine melanin is, the power of that and how we can apply our protective rituals for the well-being of our family and community. This is the conversation over the next 4 weeks as we strengthen ourselves.

Galaxy radio promotes Ubuntu, Griot Chinyere promotes Ubuntu, the Griot Way  promotes Ubuntu. Let us explore the various ways we can put this principal value into action on a daily for the benefit & well-being of self & the community:

"I am because we are, because we are therefore I am"

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Last night I looked into the round face of the moon

she smiled and beckoned me come

"Come with me" she said "Come on a journey

A journey through time and space

And I will reveal to you your own journey"

Her round face was insistent!

As I climbed through the window I grew wings and flew

I flew back to a time and space when my spirit soared

Soared above the clouds

Time when I laughed from the belly 

A time when men knew how to be men

And women rejoiced in their womanhood!

She said, "Open your eyes my child

Do not be afraid to look at yourself

If you are to recognise truth in your own face!

Sing my child", she said, "Sing".

I looked

I sang and I danced

Suddenly, I heard the rising rhythm of the drum

I saw nibble hands caressing the tight skin of drums

Hips wise to the rhythm of Mother earth

gyrated to the beat of the drum

And the pounding of feet

I watched.

I saw and i was happy

STOLEN LOVE

lost jigida reclaimed

The Nne Agwu Storytelling village addresses our challenges. This is a space where we consider the freedom of our mind. We surround ourselves with healing power of our mother nature. We clarify our family values & the principals of Ubuntu. Here we sit around the fire sending positive vibes into the pot as it cooks to feed our soul and nourish our spirit. We discuss how to put our values into action. Plan the action and action the plan. Self-love is our revolution, Self-Love will free our mind! Isé

Chant the affirmation on the t-shirt:

Melanin rich is the great gift
