I AM MY HAIR! Black Natural Hair Cultural Identity And Health

I AM MY HAIR- MY HAIR A PART OF ME! 

For Indigo people, our hair is our sacred crowns. 

WE ARE OUR HAIR! 

Our Natural, coiled hair is pinnacle to our existence with this planet and the universe! As melanin Indigo people we move forward in our struggle to live in an often hostile and alien Western society and environment. It is imperative that we address our relationship with our Indigo girls in their growth and development. We must Bless, celebrate and Anoint our hair and crown energy. We must not believe the hype of western mass media and propaganda that influences some of our people to reject and deny our power and identity, then to pass down this ignorant mis-education to our own melanin children. We must be critical thinkers in all things.




Our hair and our melanin is magic! We thrive in the light of the sun. We are a people born for a tropical region along the equator of the sun. Our ancient Ancestors were global travelers. We possessed a stellar, and nautical understanding that enabled us to move about and within the planet. Our Indigo Peoples populated and established Civilized Societies. Our Indigo societies of East Afrika created libraries and schools of thought for every aspect of civilization. These were called the ancient KMT mystery schools, which later became the Masonic societies. Our knowledge is recorded in our DNA and our hair still receives and downloads this ambient energy data.

Our very Cultural Identity in relation to our own Economic stability is under attack. Racial Profiling and stereotyping based on the color of our skin and the texture of our hair is an attack on our Ethnic Cultural identity, with the demand that our hair conforms with Western standards of some Caucasians and melanin people, who suffer from self-hatred.

Levite

ˈlē*vīt/" -noun
a member of the Hebrew tribe of Levi, especially of that part that provided assistance to the community as priests in the worship in the Hebrew Temple.

Remember Levites from the Bible, were inspired to not cut their hair. The Levites were the Nubian Pastoral peoples, known as Hebrews, found in East Afrika.

According to the Book of Genesis, the third son of Jacob and Leah, and the founder of the Israelite Tribe of Levi (the Levites). Certain religious and political functions were reserved for the Levites.

The Levites were the priestly class of healing ministers, leaders, musicians, craftsmen, and poets. The Levites were the Magi. They worked with the Electro-Magnetic energy of empirical senses, to connect and transmit the cosmic energy in nature. These priests worked with the 5 senses- in light color, sound, smell, texture, vibrations, using the natural environment, science, mathematics and the seasons. Samson's mother was moved to grow her son's hair into 7 lox. These lox empowered him to be a mighty man God.

The mammalian body has evolved over millions of years. Survival skills of humans are amazing. Science is currently discovering even more about Human abilities. Each part of the body has very sensitive work to perform for the survival and well being of the body. There is a reason for every part of the body.

Hair is an extension of the nervous system, it can be seen as external nerves, a type of highly evolved 'feelers' or 'antennae' that transmit vast amounts of important information to the brain.

Not only does hair in Indigo people, including facial hair in men, provide an information highway reaching the brain, hair also emits energy, the electromagnetic energy emitted by the brain into the outer environment. This has been seen in Kirlian photography when a person is photographed with long hair and then rephotographed after the hair is cut. When Indigo hair is Chemically straightened, dyed, or is cut, the receiving and sending transmissions to and from the environment are greatly hampered. This results in numbing-out of natural, innate sensory connection.

Cutting of our hair is a contributing factor to unawareness of environmental distress in local ecosystems. It is also a contributing factor to healing and insensitivity in relationships of all kinds. The shaving of pubic hair is said to release more Pheromones even though there are plenty of pheromones logged in the hair shaft. Shaving body hair may actually contribute to sexual frustration. The paradox of the Corporate Culture is that it encourages a sterilized impotent environment, yet demands innovation, expansion, and creativity for economic development. 

“Human Hair – A Biological Necessity”
by Dr. Birendra Kaur.

Nature (Wahe Guru) put every hair on your body for a reason. The hair of the legs regulates the glandular system and stabilizes a person’s electromagnetic field. The hair under the armpits protects the very sensitive area where the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems come together; this affects the brain and your energy level. Eyebrows protect the eyes from sun and sweat. Facial hair on men covers the moon center on the chin and protects them from excessive moon energy. The hair on top of the head is very long, while the hair on the body is short. If it were only for warmth, the hair on the body would be long also. We only have long hair right over the brain. We are practically the only creatures designed this way. Hair is your antenna to receive a picture of the subtle world around you, to tell when people are lying, to feel things before they happen, etc..

The natural intelligence of the body is to maintain its hairs. If you allow the hair on the head to grow undisturbed; it will grow to a certain length required by your body and then it will stop. Perhaps you have noticed among Sikhs who do not cut their hair that hair length is different for each person. Each body has its own requirement. The hair also reflects the health of the individual.

It has been proven scientifically that people who have long hair tend to be less tired, more energetic and less likely to become depressed. People who have long hair also conserve energy and don’t feel the cold of winter the same as people with short hair. A person who has short hair wastes his body’s energy. A person who cuts his hair over his lifetime forces the body to grow 22 meters of replacement hair. A person who keeps his hair only produces 1.5 meters of hair over his lifetime.

Think of the story of Samson and Delilah in the Bible! He lost his strength when she cut his hair! Another example of the power of hair: To humiliate the conquered people of China, Genghis Khan made them cut their hair and wear bangs over the forehead! (Bangs cover the 3rd eye, inhibiting intuition and subtle knowledge.)

Hair is a conductor of the body’s electromagnetic energy. Ever see how the antenna wire in an AM radio is coiled in a circle? That’s because of something called induction. Induction causes any conductor of electromagnetic energy to induce a current in adjacent conductors. This means that when you coil a conductor, the signal becomes much stronger. Hairs on top of the head act as antennae. They conduct energy into the body. Also, wearing the hair on top of the head protects the top of the head from sun and exposure, as well as channeling solar energy and improving vitamin D absorption. Yogis and Sikhs do not cut their hair, they coil or knot it on top of head on their solar center. In men, the solar center is on top of the head at the front (anterior fontanel). Women have two solar centers: one is at the center of the crown chakra, the other is on top of the head towards the back (posterior fontanel). For both men and women, coiling or knotting the hair at the solar center channels one’s radiant energy and helps retain a spiritual focus.

Hair Knots

Hair knots are traditionally called the “rishi” knot. In ancient times, a rishi was someone who had the capacity to control the flow of energy and prana in the body. A “maharishi” was someone who could regulate the flow of energy in the body, meditatively and at will. The rishi knot assists in the channeling of energy in meditation (Naam Simran). If one cuts off the hair, there can be no rishi knot. By giving us the rishi knot (and the turban) the Guru gave his Sikhs the blessing to have the capacity of a rishi.

Zulaikha is a courageous young girl who created a movement to stand up for her identity.

Our hair has naturally spiraling coils. Our hair is alive and part of the extensions of the sensory antenna on our body.

Being Indigo

Being "Indigo" means that we recognize that we are the first Indigenous, Aboriginal people on planet Earth. Indigo is a color of deep effervescent energy and hue. Indigo is the highest state of the anointing of our crown chakra. It is said that "The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice." Indigo also resonates with our Ancient Afrikan  Ancestors. All true Humans come from this motherland Akabalon Aeons ago, Yes, before the breakup of  "Pangaea"- also known as Turtle Island. Our Ancient Ancestors designated the royal hierarchy to wear the royal purple, from the plant known as Indigo.

INDIGO ORIGINAL

The Indigo plant is one of our ancient Afrikan sacred plants, that has been used worldwide. This beautiful plant creates an intense hue of deep ultraviolet. This color has often been referred to as "blue-black". Indigo represents the reflection of the rich heritage of our melanin-rich skin, eyes, and hair.

Historically, only the aristocrats and royalty were permitted to wear this color of purple in their clothing in Lenin fabric. Now, we see our sacred plant and it's beautiful colors more commonly used along with cotton, in denim jeans and work clothes. The term Blue Collar refers to the Indigo color and the humble working class masses of society. Indigo blue Denim is now used for labor, after the US invasion of American society, worn by farmers, railway workers, heavy duty equipment operators, and in penile institutions of mass incarceration.

YOU G.R.O.W.W GIRLS!

It is important that we teach our young girls to see themselves as beautiful, and their bodies as sacred temples. our bodies carry the ANKH the sacred portal and vortex from the universe. We must teach our girls to care for and love themselves. We at Amen Ankh, have established a girl's empowerment group called you G.R.O.W.W Girls: teach a girl, heal a nation. GROWW means, Gaining Resilience, Opportunities, Wellness and Wealth. We teach our girls to announce the heka "I AM!" to awaken their consciousness to empowerment. We teach our girls to rise and start each day with positive affirmations in their meditations.


I AM ADENIKE!

Eye wrote a poem below to express the wonder and power of living in natural beauty. It is titled "I Am Adenike", in celebration of my name as a powerful Affirmation. Ade means Crown and nike means precious:

We Walk in natural beauty and grace
We Wear our crowns with dignity and place
We Rise above our legacy of self-hate
We Cherish what the Creator creates
With our Life Health and Strength, We Celebrate

As a little girl, my Mom would hot comb my hair for church. l recall, sitting very still in a kitchen highchair, listening to the grease and my hair sizzle, crackle and pop, through the hot comb, and going through the fear of getting burned on my ears or face. I remember her saying, "let me get in this kitchen!" I lived in an integrated environment throughout my childhood, often bullied by Caucasian children, who pulled and spat in my hair. Every day, I ran home from school to wash my hair. I remembered feeling sorry for myself. I hated school, and myself. Then I remembered one day crying, then wiping away my tears, and just looking in the mirror, and saying to myself, That God made me perfect, just the way I am... I learned to embrace myself... I remember the 70s era and watching many Indigo women wear their hair in Natural Afros, as an expression of Black power. I wore my natural Afro and refused to ever straighten my hair again. My mother bought me wigs to hide my hair at public events. She wanted me to conform and be accepted by Caucasians. Later, as an adult, I wore my hair in lox and embraced my KMT Ancient Afrikan Heritage. Now I reach out and teach other Afrikan Girls about natural living, health, and Wellness, whenever I can, using the Black Panther food program model, with Amen Ankh Akademy ACE Green STEAM Home School Network and You G.R.O.W.W. Girls- Teach a Girl, Heal a Nation… "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." i have created a poem about my hair... Called: "ADENIKE My Crown Is Precious"

Eat For Your Life- Death to Life Foods for People of the Sun

Eat For Your Life!- Death to Life Foods for People of the Sun

By: Adenike Amen-Ra El aka Kandaki-Ma Nuta Beqsu Moses 11-11-2011

I give honor to our Great Ancient Ancestors! Our Ancestors established civilizations all over the planet. I relate this to one of the oldest creation stories from Ancient KMT - The Ausarian Resurrection. Ausar is the Benevolent Earth sovereign. He is considered to be our Daily Bread and all things Green and Growing. Within this ancient story, Ausar was divided into 14 pieces and buried across the planet. As traditional African people of the Sun KMT- we Ate Well as you can see from the photo above. It was commonplace for our Ancestors to consume a Mediterranean type diet- very much like the Free Original people of East Africa-Nubian Pastoral and the Moors. The Leviticus diet was written into the Mosaic Bible text and there are other Mediterranean diets, like "Kosher"/Hebrew, as well as "Halal"/Islamic traditions. There is also a common tradition of the bounty of foods, found in the west coastal fishermen of African, Caribbean, and South American regions. Black Moors dominated the Latin European regions for almost 1000 years. They brought their knowledge and cultural civilization to the northwest areas of the planet.

 We must give honor to our Ancient Ancestors, The Twa/Khosan Hunter-Gatherers. Their lives reflect harmony with creation. Many compare their lifestyle to a Feast and Famine way of life. Their diet was a variety of omnivore consumption, eating with the seasons, as they foraged the land. Nuts, Berries, leaves, insects, Fish. Animal were their first teachers. 

During the Trans Atlantic Wars of the 17th Century, our Ancestors were forced to live in the most destitute, uncivilized and inhumane conditions!  Many were severely malnourished and deprived of clean water, and their traditional nutritional access, from the tropical regions, or heritages. Many suffered from long term untreated illnesses and severe wounds and infections. This is Cultural Genocide.

Through their inventiveness, creativity and necessity, many of our ancestors made Succotash (Tuck and Stash) from the Fresh foods that were found and gleaned in nature, and roots, bark, and weeds they learned to make medicines, mixed with meat oils, and learned to eat meat scraps, like oxtails, and cow tongues, into what is now known as gourmet delicacies. Unfortunately, Black people are still consuming a lot of these food scraps, like chitterlings, and pork rinds, to their own detriment. 

Yet, There were many free Black kingdoms of people in Europe and the Americas long before 1492. So not all Black people came from the African trans-Atlantic Wars, Invasion, and Human trafficking to the Americas. Many Black Ancestors were murdered or abducted from their lands right here in the Americas. Those who were abducted, often only received the scraps and rejected foods from their enslavers' table or ate from a common trough.

We can give no honor to our Ancestors by modeling and following after the Maafa of suffering and scraping together that they were forced to endure. Our children still suffer from nutritional deficiencies and early onset health challenges, like Diabetes, strokes, and cancers from these nutritionally deficient foods. In consequence, many of our people, torn from their mother's breast, lost the mother wit and knowledge of the natural bounty of berries, roots, hunting, herbs, and growing of our own foods for sustenance and healing. 

If you are what you eat- then Slave foods may foster a slave mentality- Garbage in-garbage out. Unfortunately, our people have now become slaves to a tradition and  system of Prescription drugs, injections, surgeries, amputations, and other "medi-sins." Now, with GMO's compromising the Fruits and Vegetables in the grocery stores, and Fast foods with all of the Cool-aid chemically processed, high fructose, adulterated white acid foods, also water and air pollution, we have fallen short of the glory of living as stewards of the land and water resources and growing our own fresh local foods, along with truly caring for the environment. We have also become more sedentary, which lessens the chances of detoxifying from the poisonous effects of these foods, while our Ancestors worked, walked for miles, and sweated from sun-up to sundown in the hot sun. In consequence, Our people are now dying more in the US from food-related and Stress-related Illnesses, and diseases. This is  Black on Black killing, before Homicide! 

Our highest death statistics are from stroke, High Blood pressure, Heart Attack, Diabetes and Cancers than anyone in the US. We are dying from the caustic effects of consuming these foods MORE than homicide!

https://ankh-seneb.blogspot.com/2010/10/the-hand-of-death-and-disease.html

We often go to the funerals of our loved ones, and often turn around during repass and serve our remaining families the same foods that killed our loved ones! 

http://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2013/07/electric-foods-how-can-eating-electric.html

From the Bible, the Leviticus Kosher diet called people to abstain from bloody meats, swine, cats, rats and dogs, bottom-feeding scaleless catfish, and shellfish, etc. As "A people perish from lack of knowledge" many families who adopted Christianity, do not even believe in the necessity of following these Old Testament dietary laws. In many cases, they will recite "Rise Peter Slay and Eat" as their anthem. Yet our bodies are "the temple of the Spirit" We are called to cultivate our Minds, Bodies, and Souls to our highest levels. 

The New Testament also states:

''I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.'' -Romans 12

NOW WE MUST BE VIGILANT TO RAISE OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS TO PREPARE FOR A GLOBAL PANDEMIC!

Here are a variety of suggestions for dietary alternatives: 

• WATER is Critical! Getting enough Clean Drinking water every day is important for your health. Healthy people meet their fluid needs by drinking when thirsty. Most of your fluid needs are met through the water and beverages you drink. However, you can get some fluids through the foods that you eat. For example, broth soups and foods with high water content such as Watermelon, celery, tomatoes, Coconuts, or other melons can contribute to fluid intake. http://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2016/07/nu-is-water-source-of-life-drink.html

• Attitude is Altitude. Breathe Love, Life, Joy, and positive energy into your foods as you select and prepare them. Just as mother's milk is poisoned from fear, anger, or depression etc., all life can sense this energy. As you then consequently pass this into your loved ones, who are eating your meals. So Home Cooked Meals are best. Ergo, be cautious of restaurants, and even food handlers- This is another reason why Growing your own foods- to send each leaf stem, root and fruit, positive energy- as each plant gives energy back to you. Knowing your grower and chef is so important. -And I might add, this is why we bless our foods with gratitude. 

• RAW IS BEST! Eat more fresh locally grown Alkaline vegetables, nuts, beans, and fruits. Avoid over-processed grains like wheat, rice, and corn flours, etc.. Or choose Whole, Multi, and sprouted grain alternatives. Salads and Smoothies, including sprouted beans and sprouted grains, have the highest levels of enzymes. Processed grains and devitalized flours and white rice will raise one's glucose levels. Eating Cruciferous (Anti-Cancer) Vegetables, Like Broccoli, and cauliflower are excellent. 
We can Heal ourselves! Everything we need biologically is in the natural environment anyway- right Now! We are Mind/Body/Spirit. We must raise our consciousness to raise our immunity and resistance to Illness- Sickness- and Dis-ease... LOCAL alkaline water, local yard foods like Dandelion greens, and Perslane, Herbal teas like Peppermint, Local Bee Polin, probiotics (Kombucha, Fermented Foods, like sauerkraut, Horseradish, mushrooms. Then regiments like- Intentional Breathing, Meditation, Earth Grounding, Sun/Moon/Star blinking Circadian Rhythm Sleep Patterns, Intentional exercise, etc. are fundamental. 

• We did NOT originally eat Grass... (All Grains are grass hybrids). With the rise of "Mon-satan" GMOs, (Bayer/Monsanto) most people, particularly, African Americans, are not only suffering from a health crisis due to an overload of complex carbohydrates from starchy grains like Wheat, Corn, and white rice, but from the toxic pesticides, growth hormones, and artificial fertilizers, (that most food in the grocery store is made from...) Many are moving towards a Vegan, Vegetarian, Fruitarian, Mediterranean/ paleo diet; of Vegetables, fruit, and fish... Now African Americans, are Dying from food choices, related illnesses...

• If It has no seeds- don't eat. We should be able to reproduce the fruit that we eat. 

• Remember, the taste that many crave from their favorite meat is found in the many herbs, vegetables, and sauces that are used to season that piece of meat. and enhance the flavor. So eating less meat and more vegetables is a good protocol.  Always start cooking your protein, beans, and vegetable entrees with a base of finely chopped onions and garlic to lower blood pressure among many other advantages 

• Avoid Fried, Canned, and overcooked vegetables. These Vegetables lack the vital nutrients for your body. Steam, lightly Boil, Bake or Roast Vegetables. Avoid too much Acrylamide. This is often found in the carcinogenic dark browning and toasting on foods. (raw is best)

• Try using Coconut butter and Olive oils as an alternative to animal fats and margarine. 

• When choosing protein, always remember that the strongest animals in the Natural world are Vegetarians! Elephants, Horses, Donkeys, Bulls, Buffalo, great Apes, etc... Only scavengers and carnivores eat other animals RAW. So they also don't pre-digest or cook their meats. The highest quantities of protein that is readily consumable and easily digestible are found in dark green leafy vegetables and dark-skinned fruits, nuts, and beans. 

• If you choose to eat animal flesh, eat it sparingly as a garnish rather than a main course. Avoid Industrialized Animals. Venison, Fish, or free-range organic flesh including Goat and Lamb, should be preferred. For best digestion, eat animal flesh protein with Vegetables rather than protein with Starches and complex Carbohydrates- Bread, pasta ect. (That's why eating Turkey with starches make you sleepy) 

• Remember- " Don't cook a calf in it's mother's milk" - Cheese and eggs- don't go together, hamburgers with cheese, Pizzas with beef and cheese, Hamburger helper etc. will cancel proper digestion. 

• Avoid ALL White foods, that are highly processed and preserved. These include Sugar, Salt, Wheat, White Rice, Corn, white Potatoes, and Dairy Products. Lower and eliminate Sugar and complex Carbohydrate intake. Avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup, corn flours, and corn starch, often hidden in foods. These Starches create mucus and feed a variety of Parasites, Flukes, and cancer cells.   Try Real Fruit Juices, Maple syrup, Stevia leaves, Honey, or dried fruit as sugar alternatives. 

• Lower Salt Content. Too much salt, like sugar, is dehydrating and hard on the liver and kidneys. Try using Sea Salt sparingly. As an alternative. Dulse Seaweed can make supply salt and seasoning. Braggs Liquid Aminos – liquid amino acids are SO much more than a soy sauce alternative! This flavorful sauce is awesome on steamed vegetables, used to season pan-fried tofu or tempeh, or in all kinds of sauces. A ½ tsp serving contains just 160 mg of sodium and has 16 essential and non-essential amino acids. Kelp Granules – this sea vegetable is a great source of calcium, magnesium, B vitamins, iodine, and a number of other vitamins/minerals. Dulse is often used as a salt substitute. Nutritional Yeast – Nutritional yeast has a rich, savory, “cheesy” flavor that makes it a great salt substitute. It is an excellent addition to creamy sauces, sprinkled over popcorn, or added to rice or quinoa (learn more about the health benefits here!) Nutritional yeast is sold at many health food stores and is also widely available online. Herbs and Spices – season your meals with the right combination of herbs and spices and you won’t even miss the salt! The possibilities are endless, but a few favorites include basil, cumin, dill, garlic, ginger, oregano, rosemary, and thyme. 

• Eating a more Alkaline diet is fundamentally an essential path to wellness. Most of the foods that I have cautioned are considered Acidic on the pH charts of Alkaline foods.

• Avoid eating after Sunset. People of the Sun with active Pineal glands switch from making and distributing Serotonin in the day, to Melatonin at night. So, our stomachs need to fast so that blood energy can properly be used for healing and nurturing other vital body organs. 

• Eating Locally Grown, and Native plants are the best foods.  Remember that most of the "foods" in the grocery stores are Clones and GMO replicas of what we once knew as food. They come to local food warehouses (grocers) from long distances and cold, gassed irradiated storage conditions. We develop Antibodies and immunity to diseases, by eating locally grown foods.
• Furaha Nia Quote: "Buying organic is about more than just eating healthy. It is about supporting life. And supporting our growers who provide life. If we continue to buy genetically modified foods (that do not reproduce themselves) then our agriculturists will be forced to produce and market what sells - GMO. One day, there may be no self-reproducing food. Meaning... You cannot take a seed out of it and put it in the ground. And that's when we will truly see this US government show out."

• That is why We Should GROW OUR OWN FOODS! In order to Free Ourselves, We must Feed Ourselves! If you live in an apartment or don't think you have the energy or time to attend to a garden for your family, sprout your beans and seeds before consuming. Grow your own Container garden of fresh herbs. You can grow indoors often right at your window sill. This is the best way to get vital nutrients directly into your prepared foods. 

• Learn basic CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver. for potential heart attacks and choking at family events. Check with our elders during bathroom times. Most Heart Attacks occur during bathroom times, from drinking too hot/ too cold water to straining on the toilet. Remember, statistically, it often takes up to an extra 10 minutes or more, after the 911 call for an ambulance or paramedic to arrive in an African American neighborhood. 

At Amen Ankh Urban Farm, we grow and produce foods, fresh from our local farm, and growers.

I would like to encourage readers to watch Soul Food Junkie-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGKcMvG45tY 

-I would also like to add a final note that not only is death winning overabundant and healthy lives for our families, many of our loved ones are not only leaving this world prematurely, with High Blood Pressure, Heart attacks, and strokes Cancers, etc.- But because of their food choices, they also live or shall I say subsist with obesity, Blindness, Amputations, crippling Arthritis, Cancers, colostomy bags and are pumped so full of drugs that they become a hardship to their families and society. I am neither a Doctor nor part of the American Medical Association; I am a Teacher, Mother, Daughter, and Grandmother who is working on my own health and wellness journey. It is my ministry to teach our youth to live in a green sustainable way. We eat what we grow and rarely go to the grocery store. We have established the Amen Ankh Academy and Urban Children's teaching farm. I feed students who come by my door. Instead of grass growing in our front yard, we have fresh herbs growing in the front yard this summer. Many youths have never eaten a mango, an avocado, or even green peppers, or a homegrown tomato. Most eat starchy school lunches and Fast Foods when they get home. Moms often do not have time to make a home-cooked meals. I had children tell me that they didn't know that you could grow food in the ground! Now, these children can identify herbs, eat plantain greens, dandelions, and drink peppermint tea with Stevia leaves as a sweetener!

On a personal note, as a child I can remember eating My Mother’s "Southern" Cooking. We ate Roota to da toota from the hog- ham, bacon, pig feet, lard biscuits, etc.! I loved my mom’s cooking- I also had a weight challenge most of my life until I became a vegetarian and African dancer. I remember her fluffy lard biscuits with fresh Butter and jam! I remember her frying bacon then frying eggs in the same grease, then saving the remaining grease to add flavor to her greens, beans, adding this grease to the sweet cornbread, or heating and frying chicken or catfish in it, etc. Almost Everything had pork and sugar in it. I ate cracklins fried from the Holiday ham. Even the sweet potato and pecan pie had a lard crust. We ate ham hocks and neck-bones in the Collard green pot, pickled pig-feet and hog-head cheese, and of course Chittlins! I also remember drinking, SWEET Lemonade, SWEET Tea and Cool-aid with my sugar water! We had grits, pancakes, creamed corn, lard based gravy, candied yams and cheesy macaroni!

Then I remember my Dad's first heart attack. I am a proud Daughter of a Father who was a Warrior in the US Military. He served almost 30 years in the Air Force. During that time, an Air Force candidate had to also pass a rigorous written examination to even qualify. It was rare for Indigo men to serve in the Air Force, also because of the severe racism and still existing segregation at that time. So he had a battle for survival everyday, inside and outside of his military experience. I was blessed to have had the opportunity to travel abroad in the world. After his heart attack, my dad began reading about health and wellness. He learned about herbs, Apple Cider Vinegar Protocols, and other Alternative healing modalities.  I imagine my Mother may have been so hurt when my dad rejected her cooking- yet, she refused to change or modify ANYTHING... Of course, this is the tradition that she was raised in! She took pride in her daily, Sunday, and Holiday dinners with the family. We always dressed for dinner. I learned to use my best etiquette and manners. This is when I learned to set a table and also learned so much about food preparation, culinary arts, cleaning and polishing. By the time Mom reluctantly broke down to change her dietary system- to using smoked turkey instead of ham hocks, vegetable oils instead of Lard, baked chicken- instead of fried, and Stevia, instead of sugar, or even aspartame sweetener ( which she later changed to agave), for flavor and seasoning, my dad had both feet cut off and was going blind. My dad also refused to take medications for high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and his strokes. Although he had heard about homeopathic medicines and Herbs- he did not know anyone around him to guide him through... Finally, His pride would not let him use prosthetics or a wheel chair, so he starved himself and ascended...

This southern cooking, also known as Soul Food is part of a heritage of Black culture in the US. Food is not only a source of nutrition, but a way of expressing love and comfort. Yet, Just because Our enslaved ancestors were industrious with pork-based slave foods does not mean that we should continue to serve these foods to our children and families, unchecked, to suffer and die, to join our honored ancestors. Primarily, Food has drastically changed. We now live in a highly processed world of Industrial farmers and imported foods. Small organic farmers are outmatched by most conditioned consumer demands. Most of the animals found in the supermarket were caged, neglected, and shot up with growth hormones and antibiotics for a higher turnover of sale. The GMO Grains (Wheat and Corn), Fruits and Vegetables come irradiated and with the insecticide build into the seed's DNA. These foods are acid-based and are harsh to our vital organs. They strip the endocrine glands, starve the brain, while overworking the brain’s endorphins and dopamine, like a narcotic. Our children suffer more intensely. Sugar and high fructose corn syrup products are a gateway to all addictions and addictive behaviors. Our youth now suffer from childhood obesity, diabetes, cancers, arthritis, and stroke. We have to wake up to yes, acknowledge and revere the legacy of our Ancestors and “How they got over;” then move on to higher health and wellness standards and goals for the sake of our next generations.

I am interested in de-colonializing my mind, body and soul, from habits, lifestyle, information and diet that I have learned from an alien society. I choose to move into a way of life that most closely aligns with my NATURAL anthropology.  
Indigo People of Afrikan Descent have been removed from our natural environment and have in turn adopted lifestyles that are ill suited and make us disproportionately ill. There is a real biochemistry to eating that I am learning more about daily. It resonates with previous knowledge and experience. I am personally on a DAILY mission to challenge all previous misinformation and diversions to my cultural way of life because, clearly that information has been hazardous. 

BLACK LIVES MATTER! We want to learn about liberation and Black empowerment, but we must want to LIVE liberation and Black power. Our Health is our Greatest Wealth. Please invest in our local Urban farming initiatives. Actions speak louder than voice. We are killing the children of our ancestry for material things. We live in an addiction society and everyone wants their fix... Once you know the REAL- we must live in the REAL. We can't go back into the matrix.
