Afrikan Awake To Teach The Youth

African Awake! Teach the Youth

What are we doing as Afrikan Awake conscious people to engage our youth? Are we raising and encouraging our Heru KRSTs, like Auset and Tehuti did, for Heru- to model and memorize after our own strong Goddess Queen Mothers and God Kings in spiritual Ki -Chakra Kundalini of our own Afrikan Culture? Our youth are our Indigo Golden Seeds- Their Spirits need a conscious outlet of expression unclouded by invader mentality and the Matrix of invader corporatakrazy- to grow up unplugged. Fail to plan- plan to fail.
Living consciously is not only about knowing the Glory of Our-Story (history) of our Ancient Ancestors. We must breathe new life back into our Ancestors by cultivating a living creative spiritual lifestyles!
How many of our families are naming their infants and newly born conscious souls, after a spiritual name that aligns with their destiny?
How many even know their Destiny and their Health, Career and Relationships from a spiritual Elder?
How many conscious families Meditate, Pray together or practice Breathing, Martial arts, Massage, Listen to music together, or even, play, sing, dance, draw or paint together?
Do you read to your children? What choices of books do you share?
Do you have vision boards in common to envision a place together in your future?
How many of our families EAT and drink together? What are we feeding our youth? Are we growing our own foods and healing herbs? Know that the Mind Soul and Body are connected.
There are now an abundance of Alternative healing resources available for people to live prosperously.
Do we celebrate the seasons of life- The Equinoxes and Solstices?
Do we take nature walks and commune with the universe like Stargazing, Sun watching, Moongazing visiting spiritual centers like mounds or caves?
Do we bless our homes and new businesses with a Spiritual Elder who can cleanse and bring good spirits to your environments? We should employ and seek the counsel of our elders in all new matters and concerns...




took my Grand Prince- who I named Heru to the Nelson Atkins Museum and Showed him the sculptures of his namesake- Heru, Auset and Ausar. I named them right in front of everyone and debunked the "Isis" "Osiris" "Horus" Titles.

My Prince Heru is a Grower at the Amen Ankh Urban Farm Cooperative and is learning, meditating, creating and reading at the AMEN PAR ANKH Sacred Temple of Life. He is a Naturalist, a talented Artist and Recycler.

"We must teach our youth true knowledge of self to empower them with a legacy of wealth." Adenike Amen-Ra

Along with Meditating, Eating Org-Ankh foods, living within a Maafia- (the original East Afrikan word for "a Healthy Place to Live" he is learning about his destiny and purpose, in cultivating his talents!

WE ARE ALL CONNECTED TO THE UNIVERSE!

Artist Visionary Cyrus Kabiru Is Breathing New Life From His Surroundings

Artist Visionary Cyrus Kabiru is breathing new life into his surroundings.

  A self-taught sculptor and painter, Kabiru is crafting visually striking artwork from abandoned refuse he collects from the streets of the Kenyan capital.
 

 "When I woke up every morning, the first thing I'd see was trash," recalls Kabiru, whose childhood home faced a garbage heap where all of Nairobi's waste was dumped in Kenya. "I used to say to my dad that when I grow up, I want to give trash a second chance."

And that's exactly what he went on to do.

Cyrus Kabiru's Optical Art is the most fascinating use of re-purposed materials. As the eyes are the light of the soul, Kabiru has reflected and transported the discarded technology of the western world into a bold transmorgrification.

Using wires, spoons and bottle tops, his artistry gains a new lease of life for found refuse materials as vital components of his art pieces. His art depicts the concept of looking at the world through rose colored glasses. He has been able to see trash as treasure, yet more to the idea of peering through the looking glasses and seeing the majic of life and environment.
 






 



 
Kabiru has created other pieces besides his Optical art...
 


 
 
We all have an accountability to the planet. All of the trash, like dirty water going down the drain effect the planet in another part of the world. These pieces of plastic, plastic bottles, plastic wrappers, plastic medicine containers, bottle tops, Plastic Cigarette lighters, foam meat trays, medical viales and tubing, Latex gloves, spent diabetes needles, broken television monitors, shoe foam inserts, spent batteries, Polyester, acrylic and nylon clothing, soda cans, water bottles, broken television monitors, car parts etc, etc.





PLASTIC DOES NOT BIODEGRADE BACK INTO THE ENVIRONMENT! They represent our toxic waste and a gigantic carbon footprint from each individual, in a consumer society. So many of these plastic fragments are eaten by birds and toxic fluids are consumed by fish. So many animals are choking, suffocating and caught in plastic.
This is the view of Cyrus Kibiru. Since his childhood he had the view of a garbage mountain of emperialistic conspicuous consumerism waste. Through all of the toxic slop, he has made something beautiful.

Amen Ankh Is Growing Green


THE TIME IS NOW TO "GROW GREEN"



 Our ancestors repurposed and reused everything. You can go to many African Countries, even now and find beautiful jewelry, unique furniture, and accessories created from recycled and found items that have often been rejected and thrown away by other people.

Here in the US every city is inundated with vacant lots, which are plentiful in most urban neighborhoods. These lots can be converted to Urban Farms or community gardens, where entire neighborhoods can help plant and maintain the gardens and profit together with the farms.




We must re-connect our experiences with green initiatives. An example of how this connection is made is with recycling. This is another way is to engage our youth to go green. They can have Recycling drives, taking old clothes and re-creating, and making art with found and repurposed objects is an excellent and inspiring activity for school and neighborhood projects.

By composting, growing food and promoting other entrepreneurial initiatives can be fun and create a lifelong pursuit into the fields of Agriculture and Ecological Engineering and other GeoSciences. There are many financial endowments and scholarships available to pay for educational opportunities in green initiatives. In Missouri, Lincoln University will give a full-ride scholarship to any student who pursues a field in agriculture.

 Why should WE “Go Green?”
  • We are approaching a global food shortage
  • Cities are experiencing water shortages
  • Oil is finite
  • The demand for energy around the world is increasing
  • As above so below- We are all connected to the inner-verse and universe


What can we do?

  • Encourage and vote for elected officials who have a green agenda
  • Grow YOUR OWN FOODS AND Support People and companies who are concerned about the environment 
    • Sasteh Meter Mosley has been the Green Griot of Kansas City for more than 20 years and established EMWOT a Green Micro-Economic Development initiative. His Motto is "Stick a Seed in the Ground!" As a child, Sasteh woke up from a roster crowing in his next door neighbor's back yard. He experienced his first glimpse of Urban Agriculture, with chickens, eggs, wild game, rabbits, and fresh vegetables being sold to the neighborhood. He later cultivated food in a variety of communities, for example, establishing the "Bunk-Bed" system with Will Allen in Milwaukee.
    • Mama Nuta Beqsu (Adenike AmenRa) Is a Gnome Builder. She Established Amen Par Ankh (Sacred Temple of Life) Amen Ankh Urban Farm as a Neighborhood center for life, Growing food and teaching health and Wellness, in the heart of the most blighted Kansas City urban neighborhoods. She teaches STE-A-M education through You GROWW Girls- (Gaining Resilience, Opportunity Wellness and Wealth) providing Agricultural and Outdoor activities for the youth teaching Urban Sustainable living, recycling, Arts and Crafts and Herbal Arts
    • The Recipe Poetry Guild is traveling the country as a social activist and Spoken word artists who bring attention to the nuclear weapons plant toxicity and Sustainable living.
    • Nadine Farris has been growing an Abundant Community garden for years
    • Mamma Helen Bey has been teaching Health and Wellness for more than 5 Decades.
    • Imhotep Maat Ra has been teaching health and wellness with Magnificent Foods
    • Mama Charlotte O’Neal is a cultural Artist, musician, and elder who is traveling the country to share the knowledge of green sustainable living from Tanzania to the US and beyond. Her efforts to support the Tomorrow Children and brother Pete O'neal have been her passion and dedication for years.
    •  DJ Cavem is a green rapper sharing the good news with his family about vegan living and Urban Farming.
    • Colin Kaepernick has Personally Supported Black Lives Matter and Urban Agriculture.
    • Wangari Maathai has assisted women’s groups in planting over 40 million trees.
    • Shai Agassi wants to replace gas stations with electric charging stations
    • Will Allan is sharing the knowledge of Aquaponics and Urban Farming.
    • Ron Finley has personally supported community Gorilla Gardening 
    • Van Jones helped Congress pass the Green Jobs Act of 2007 which provides $125mm to train 35,000 people/year
    • UPS saved 50,000 gallons of gas by reducing left-hand turns
    • Plants are now being operated via methane-powered gas
    • Spellman College is the first HBCU to build a LEED Certified residence hall
    • The Peace Planters and other organizations are working to shut down nuclear power plants all over the country
    • NY City plans to convert its entire taxi fleet to hybrids by 2011
    • Greensburg, Kansas is being rebuilt “Green”






Easy Ways For You To “Go Green” And Lower Your Carbon Footprint

  • Reduce Reuse Recycle, Repurpose Plastic items. Plastics can be woven, and remelted in safe conditions to create innovative things.
  • Support Local Urban Growers
  • Grow food NOT lawns- In order to Free yourselves, you must Feed yourselves!
  • Shop locally for locally made products
  • Divest from global corporate slave mills and factories and products manufactured by prison slave labor.
  • Choose more natural fabrics and dyes that can be returned to the earth.
  • Reuse shopping bags instead of "Paper or Plastic."
  • Prepare and eat your home or locally grown Fruits and Vegetables - fresh and raw as often as possible- sprout, blend and Juice. Try replacing a few food items every week that you regularly buy with locally grown natural alternatives.
  • Designate one day each week as a NO MEAT DAY
  • Walk, Ride a bike, Share, and Use public transportation over a single driver in a SUV.
  • Save and reuse juice pulp in recipes or add to compost.
  • Collect rain water for food Growers
  • Use coffee grounds and hair as plant compost/fertilizer
  • Compost your Food Scraps and return the new soil back to the land
  • Prepare your family dinners and sit down to eat together -rather than Fast Food
  • If you must eat on the run- store fresh and dried fruits and homemade Snacks and juices in your car.
  • Consume less- Recycle More
  • Choose alternative-fueled cars using solar and electric over fossil fuel-driven vehicles
  • Plant a tree
  • Protect your  groundwater -Don’t use pesticides and weed killers on the lawns
  • Choose neither paper nor plastic – take your own washable bags when shopping
  • Use natural light instead of electricity as often as possible
  • Have an energy audit done on your home
  • Use Solar Panels to lower your utility bills
  • Don’t linger in the shower, turn water on and off
  • Turn off the water while brushing your teeth
  • Take low water baths - don’t fill the tub
  • Replace current light bulbs throughout the house with carbon fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)
  • Install a programmable thermostat for better heating/cooling efficiency
  • Use natural products for house cleaning (baking soda and vinegar, borax or steam for bathroom and kitchen cleaning)
  • Turn off the stove a few minutes before the food is ready – heat from skillet or pan will continue to cook food
  • Use a power strip for countertop appliances – to turn all off when not in use
  • Only turn on the Washer and dishwasher when it has a full load
  • Turn Off water between rinsing dishes- or don’t rinse dishes until you use them -to create a barrier for insects.
  • Install an attic fan
  • Install a tank-less water heater
  • Wash clothes (even whites) in cold water
  • Replace chlorine bleach with hydrogen peroxide (1/4 cup)
  • Select electronic billing and e-correspondence for all your current mail
  • Consider second-hand clothing for your next purchase
  • Get your children involved and concerned about green life(encourage them to do science projects and make green gifts)
  • Talk to your children’s school principal about going green
  • Give green gifts with reused green wrapping paper of gift sacks Reuse newspapers for gift wrapping
  • Run errands clockwise and try to eliminate left hand turns as often as possible
  • Take a green vacation
  • Consider a hybrid car when it’s time to replace your current vehicle


If more people got involved in rediscovering their neighborhoods—invoking green initiatives in the process, killing, and Underground crime would actually decrease and there would be more home cottage and small businesses blooming to create sustainable revenue.

Mama Harriet Carried a Riffle Too



 
I have always wondered what happened to the people who Mama Harriet freed. Many today have benefited from this legacy of courage and endurance. Many are still standing strong to live free and sustainable, in spite of being shunned and ignored by a few in our corrals (House Negros still with the slave/ Stockholm syndrome mentality) who want to kill a bud before it has a chance to blossom. and report to their guards/ plantation sentinels for token favors. We Press Onward. Our people can't have it both ways. You can't stay and work on the plantation, then run around fronting like you are free. 
 
Many of our people think that they are "out of the Matrix" but they are still writing grants for the scraps from massa's table, to support the sentinels and agents and enable them to sacrifice our children, Kill or take our people out to the prisons, to sponsor the “power plant” of corporatocracy.
 
Mama Harriet had a riffle for protection yet; sometimes she used it to shoot the snitches and the ones who were too quickly weary of the hard times ahead, and wanted to go back to the plantation... We must tear down these plantations, starting with the one in our heads. We still have those who think the stone-head’s ice is colder. Or they want to build a world that is parallel to Isfit. I don't want to be the "first Black" Plantation owner. I don't want to be just another exploiter of our people, resources, environment and planet. Sometimes that means giving up comfort, security and luxuries. We may teach our people to be more “Savvy Black Consumers” – Yet they are STILL Consumers, and not producers. We need to rebuild our own Black Wallstreets, of our own growers, cooperative owners, resources, land, energy, Languages, Educational structures and Banks. We must be in the world and not of the world. We must tear down and not mimic the isfit of this system.
 
TEACH THE YOUTH!

Building Bridges Between Parents and Their Children's Education

 

I was asked by Kihei to comment on our parents and education in Kansas City. The following are some points as a Special Education Teacher in the Kansas City School district:@ Kihei-




  • We must revolutionize the way we think about education for our youth! As parents We must return to “Dynastic” thinking. What I mean by this is- passing on a heritage and leading by example. This is how the elite think in provision for their children. “PRO-VISION”  -Visioning for the Long term future with expectations and outcomes! I’m talking about 10-20-50year plans for the outcomes and expectations for their youth and their children’s place in their family business, neighborhood and ECO-NOME.

  • PARENTS NEED TO TEACH THEIR OWN VALUES, FAITH SYSTEMS AND HISTORY- Learn and Practice a value system like- the Nguzo Saba- (Principals Seven)... Celebrate Umoja Karamu AT HOME Celebrate Kwanzaa AT HOME-

  • THEY MUST READ TO THEIR CHILDREN- AND let their children catch them reading- by example- talk about books, Find Local Black writers and authors, and talk about current events in the news. This helps with values and critical thinking. If the parent is not teaching and passing on their values- some one else is/will. Buy the Final Call(There is a man standing right in the street to give you knowledge and/or a delicious bean pie!) and other local black newspapers and magazines. Places like The Urban League give away magazines free of charge.

  • WE NEED TO HOMESCHOOL! I want to start an underground homescholar network system!

  • The only way the ELITE would put their child in a boarding school or institution, is after they personally build the institution with a state of the art Environment and materials, equipping their child with what they need-TO LEAD- Not to follow. When we think about accreditation- That should be the PARENTS going through the school with a fine tooth comb- From the toilets, the Cafeteria, Classrooms and Teachers.

  • High Expectations and belief in our youth- When you have parents, teachers and administration that have low to no expectation for their youth and family- “every bodies grunging for the dollar and surviving from day to day in a “by-design-system” We were too quick to decapitate the heads of the giant district. We have gone through so many superintendents- but we were too quick to replace one with another who may be taking under-the-table deals to sell out our youth. We fail to acknowledge that when the head comes off the body falls and our children suffer from the collateral damages.

  • We forget that our youth are learning from EVERYTHING and EVERYONE -ALL THE TIME!

  • When the children come home to a latch-key world of an empty unsupervised house with Acidic Chicken nuggets(pink slime)- “?Chips-salt and grease” and Cinnamon rolls from da corna-lika-stow- or poptarts - potpies or some other frozen microwave meal of GMO playfood… When Mom & Pops are outa sight- the child is outa they mind- you have “Da katz away da mice will play” situations- Drug use, delinquency, violent desensitizing videogames, Sex- pregnancy- HIV, mind-numbing TV couch-potato- childhood-diabetes-obesity beasts. All under a truculent background of misogyny-ated message music dope buzz beats and Rap... It's a setting for gang indoctrination.

  • We have Amen Par Ankh(Sacred Temple of Life) on my block... Any scholar can come by my door and get free fruit and tutoring... Just by word of mouth they come by...

  • We need Teachers–who are invested in the neighborhood’s development to teach our children- how to return –Come right back and work in the neighborhood to take ownership and re-develop community.

  • So Parents need to stop thinking about (getting their child- “OUT of the ghetto”) “Work to live” NOT “live to work”.

  • Another issue; Putting a child into college with only a remedial background is - like playing our children in a lottery – 9x out of 10 you lose -setting our children up for failure- THESE COLLEGES KNOW THIS and take the child in anyway- use their money for remedial classes then kick them out with a debt for life.

  • I would like to encourage the Parents who sit down with their families at least once a week and have a family morning, day, night, weekend- lock-in- turn off all electronic media- and eat a home cooked meal- Our children need MORE fresh fruits and vegetables in their bodies to grow properly- not milk. So a fresh salad or smoothie... -to eat and talk with NO distractions. Have a smoothie breakfast- or Sunday dinner with Elders to teach family history, values and establish goals and objectives together...

  • Go outside and enjoy the weather and observe life around, Look at the moon and read the stars... take a walk- go to a park,

  • Sit with them in a court room, bring them to a bank, or any career vocational setting, let them see black business owners, talk to automotive, or lawn cutting business owner, a black judge or attorney,

  • Visit the elderly and volunteer in a nursing home, Community Garden, Urban Farm or Hospital ... 
  • Teachers should be identifying our struggling children not only academically but socially for the students success... It is a war zone in the neighborhoods in many cases, with child custody issues and 2 youth dying every week...
     
  • We NEED Counselors on staff for crisis counseling. when a youth dies in the community- it effects all of the people who knew that youth...

"It takes a village to raise a child"... this may be an over saturated Afrikan Proverb- (And I personally don't like the term "village" to describe aboriginal or indigenous communities) - I like Knome-Gnome Nome , Council of Elders- "The Griots" or as Sasteh uses "the Klan" (is this upstaging Kanye West or what-LOL) the "X-Klan" lol... But my point is - We need to help the parents and/or single parents who are overwhelmed or dysfunctional. - "We are only as strong as the weakest link" also comes to mind. You Can't just ignore the whole child and just isolate academics... We are Mind, Body, Soul and Spirit...
