Future Homeless Teen Center Destroyed By Fire to be repurposed for Greenhouse Pit

On Easter Sunday, the home that my Children grew up in was completely demolished. We are working to recover any valuables and resources that we can. If you are able to help, please call me at 8163047240 or Email at amen.ankh@live.com -We could use any manpower, tools, equipment and trucks that you can spare. We are trying to retrieve the stones and bricks and any wood that we can recycle and repurpose for our farms and neighborhood projects…

 This week, to my shock and surprise, I found my house on 1330 E 33rd street, completely leveled, with people digging through the structure for whatever they could glean! I was completely devastated. The artwork that I stored for my friend Maurice Copeland was all burned and lost in the fire. I was told by the fire department that the house next door was burning and the flames and heat moved over to our house. It was my hope to turn this house into a transitional center for homeless, runaway teens and juvenile re-entry. It is vital that our neighborhoods embrace the need to provide temporary housing, mentoring Green Sustainable careers and support to our youth. Although my hopes are gone for this house, We know that a Youth transitional center is still needed. We hope to aquire another building to provide this necessary support for our youth. Presently we are deconstructing the house to use the Wood, Stone and brick materials at our other vacant lot sites. We hope we can use the vacant lot for growing food that can feed our youth and provide them with green careers and vocations.

Amen Par Ankh Winter Solstice Fast and Visioning Days


We are rapidly approaching the season of the Solstice. This is a time when the days are the shortest until we reach the 21st, through 25th .

 At Amen Par Ankh, the Winter Solstice is our holy-Days of reflection. We recommend that we are mindful of our bodies, minds and Spirits.

You are invited to participate in our Winter Solstice Fast and visioning celebration DAY for 2014!

In the Northern Hemisphere Winter solstice occurs on December 21 or 22. The sun appears at its most southerly position, directly overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn (23 degrees 27 minutes south latitude). The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year and marks the beginning of winter. It is the exact opposite in the Southern Hemisphere. Solstice loosely translated in Latin is "sun stands still". For several days before and after each solstice the sun appears to stand still in the sky, i.e., its noontime elevation does not seem to change from day to day. Then it is Reborn again in the East position again and the days begin to lengthen.



Starting Monday 17th- 5 days before December 21st, 2013, until December 25th.

Start by Fasting off of meat only eating vegetables and fruits for the remaining days until the solstice.


On the 19th – 23rd only consuming Water, Grapes, Oranges for enzymes, (with Rice to take care of your Carbs -for those who have to work)
The more advanced, can drink only water for 1-3 days for the 21st and 22,...

Adding more Vegetables on the 24th

Break the fast on the 25th with Apples and more vegetables, Carbs and Fruits
We are Also inviting you to the Amen Par Ankh this Saturday, December 21st for our Solstice Celebration and Visioning Day! Our chi has been built up to it’s highest through our fast. Now we can come together in collective consciousness to vision for the future. Bring your Visions- We have plenty of magazines, notions and Glue. From 10:00am- 1:00pm

For More Information and RSVP- Contact Sba Sasteh Meter Mosley, and Adenike Amen-Ra Call AND Text- 816-304-7240 Email amen.parankh@gmail.com or amen.ankh@live.com


This is a time to create your vision Board. A vision board is a tangible collection that creates your window into the future. As words have life, you can send out your sacred sounds into the universe that will not return void. So envision for your Mind Body and Spirit- the Food Resources and comfort for your Senses as well as your Family, Friends and Loved ones around you.
The Winter Solstice is also a time for mindfulness; We must go within to engage our inner~net~work. This is a time to set goals and envision a fresh new path. We must throw out the "Stinkin Thinkin" of the past that is our own undoing.

Fast off of media energy too. All of the devices and appliances we have around us creates an energy wave that often times distracts us from our progress.

We must be mindful of our Family, Loved Ones, Friends and Associates. Our melanin is depleted by the lack of Sun and can sometimes cause us to be depressed and lonely to the point of suicide. Often times, many are stagnated and will release toxic energy. Remember, stress lowers our immunity, making us vulnerable to viruses and other disease.

 A griot, jali or jeli (djeli or djéli in French spelling) is a West African historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet and/or musician. The griot is a repository of oral tradition, and is also often seen as something of a societal leader due to his traditional position as an adviser to royal leaders.(Wikipedia)

HISTORY OF THE GRIOT


A Griot (Gree-os) is an Afrikan Storyteller -Serer: kevel or kewel; Wolof: gewel) is an African historian, storyteller, praise singer, poet, Shaman, Vezir or musician. The Griot is a repository of oral tradition and is often seen as a leader due to their position as an advisor to royal personages.

In the modern world, storytelling techniques such as music, chant and audience participation make up the best presentations of African storytelling. Communication methods such as video and the Internet now allow anyone to experience the joy of an African story well told. African storytelling is a call and response interaction. There are distinctions of storytelling from Africans who still practice this art all over the world.

Empirical stimulation of the five senses helps to create a memory.
Use of color, sparkle, music, song, foods, chants, shaking hands and embrace and wonderful aromas aid in embracing the experience.

The storytellers or “Griots” know people will listen if the stories are fun and entertaining.


An audience that is laughing or otherwise experiencing deep emotions will be fully engaged in the story and therefore open to more learning.

Animals, Insects, plants and other forms of nature are part of the African storytelling process.



Familiar characters, such as Anansi the Spider, show up in many African stories. No matter how they are portrayed, such characters as the weaver-bird, the lion, mosquito and the hyena all become players in this special storytelling. Trees, lakes, rivers and other plants provide a geographical reference as well.

Morals and instructions in proper conduct can be found in African storytelling.
The first Griots not only entertained but they also served as vessels of moral guidance. It is rare to find an African story that does not convey deeper meanings. Each time a person hears a story, even when it is repeated, they may find a new perspective on the teaching. Master Griots were the Social Activist. They often played the fool to draw off the direct attention of a leader, yet they were able to touch the consciousness, heart and mind of a ruler, to help them see constructively, the error of their ways without confrontation and embarrassment.


African storytelling taught historical lessons.

Storytelling is a way for any culture to pass on its history. From stories from Africa, generic terms used now such as “Hero” “King & Queen” Nome, or “family” once had real names, meaning and a place in the geography of the Africa. These stories, still told with names in some parts of the world, help the audience to know where they fit into the world and history. By placing an unforgettable story in the hearts of children, left an indelible memory etched and unfolding in the minds of each child, for them to grow and pass from generation to generation, on vital moral and ethical principals, concepts and mores.
