Well, I didn’t want to believe it either.

Well, all I’m gonna say here is…

BULLS@&T LIKE THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I CREATED THIS WEBSITE!!!

We children of africa cannot depend on others to write our history for us.

WE MUST write our history.

WE MUST tell our own stories.

WE MUST take control of the narrative, and show the rest of the world WHO WE ARE.

Otherwise, we will be always seen as LESS THAN, a threat, or SPIDERS.

I’m gonna end this post with this video from GCAP. One thing I always admired about GCAP and it’s founder, MESTRE MORAES, is the fact that they never compromised when it came to the african origins of Capoeira, despite the HUGE backlash they got by doing so.

Well, the video title says it all.

Everyone, this is MESTRE ROXINHO.

I’ve written about him and his work before o other blogs and pages. If you click on the words highlighted in light blue below, you’ll be taken to an amazing 43 minute podcast where he talks about his new book, and his work with young people.

Ginga of Resilience: The Benefits of Capoeira Angola for Adolescents w/Mestre Roxinho

Here’s some video clips about his organization, Project Bantu.

Project Bantu is a social intervention program that engages at-risk, vulnerable young people using the traditions and philosophy of Capoeira Angola. The project combines the therapeutic potential of musical and physical expression to produce a range of social and learning outcomes, it also aims to empower young people to support their ability to succeed and face the challenges of life.

And now, a word from Mestre Roxinho.

In Brazil and Australia we have a proverb that says;  Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime. Based on this, we are looking for forms of financial sustainability, to build solid maintenance for our projects, but in order to take this step, we need your support to equip our first Ecobusiness. Bantu Brazil is establishing a hostel business on the island which will provide employment opportunities for the local community as well as income to support Bantu community outreach programs. We have already managed to make progress in the organization, but we have run into an old financial difficulty, and that is why I am here more once to ask for your support in the completion of the preparation of “Aconchego Bantu”, doing so as soon as you come when you will have a hostel to stay in, and at the same time you will be supporting a low-income community.  

Please support and share the link for our campaign to get this venture up and running which will make a big difference in the lives of our community.Click on the link and donate.  https://chuffed.org/project/hostelbantu

 We count on your support!

 Thank you very much

 Bantu Brazil team

very short blog entry, I just wanted to show you this short video, because I think you can learn some valuable tips from it.

In the near future, I’ll post some more videos from him.

ONCE AGAIN, JUST WATCH.

JUST WATCH.

Hi.

During 4th of July, I think it’s important for us to ask the question above. Exactly What is true patriotism, and what does it mean to be a patriot of your country, wherever you may live?

Well, I found this short video on my Facebook feed, and I think it makes a pretty good definition.

Now of course this video is about the United States where I come from, but I believe that these 5 principles can apply to almost every country.

Hello everyone,

Here in the United States of AMERIKKKA, we celebrate today as the day when America declared it’s freedom from Great Britian.

Well, there’s ALOT to unpack about this holiday, but this year I’m gonna keep it short, and post this 2023 address from the professor

Have a good holiday.
