Steve Biko✊🏾

 2016 Memory🫶🏾

Baba Bantu Stephen Biko on 12 September 1977(I never forget this because it’s a day before my bday),was a South African anti-apartheid activist. Ideologically an African Nationalist and Socialist. Baba Biko was at the forefront of a grassroots anti-apartheid campaign known as the Black Consciousness Movement during the late 1960s and 1970s. 

Sadly on this day the world was robbed of a BeYOUtiFUL and revolutionary soul assassinate while in police custody we lost a true leader! If you are not familiar with him look him up. He is someone EVERYONE should know. The Ancestors are always with us~Ase’OOO

Side note: if you’ve never seen the movie Cry Freedom it’s a must see Denzel Washington played him!!!

Sunni’s Fyra Cider

 I’ve been blessed with knowledge and understanding of herbs and how to heal many things through diet and herbs (holistically). A lot of these things have been passed down in my family generation after generations. However through it all I am lead by the guidance of my Ancestors so somethings I’ll share, and some I won’t🤷🏾‍♀️. It’s that simple. 

Nonetheless like with anything I share please take it upon yourself to do your own research. You know you better than anyone else. Lol just wanted to put that out there. Ok now we are at the time a lot of ppl get sick,and on top of that covid never really left.

Last Day of Black August✊🏾

 As we come to the end of my tribute to what Black August means to me. Don’t let the fuzzy warm feelings leave! There is still much work to be done! So many have sacrificed life,body and freedom for our(still not so free) freedoms. 

There are REAL prisoners of war that are still locked up, in solitary confinement, there are still REAL Black Panthers out here doing REAL work to ensure the masses never forget. Here’s a link with information on ways you can help. 

Let’s do more than just chant Black Power,and All Power to the People...help keep the movement going....#LEVELUP https://www.thejerichomovement.com/home
