Our culture and roots are very important to my family. So if was such a blessing for Masai to have been exposure to what happened in KC today,a beautiful piece of our history. Growing up this was our playground and we didn’t think or understand the sacredness of this space. However as an adult I now truly understand the magnitude of what this space means. I have come here many times to commune,meditate,and burn offerings and pour libations.
However today having a collective prayer for our city on sacred land of our Ancestors was very monumental. The largest port of the underground railroad in the midwest. This area is over 3 in football fields length and held tons if Artifacts in which our Ancestors left behind as they escaped to FREEDOM were recovered at this site.
Although we are not free and have never really been afforded the real freedoms others enjoy daily. I think it's still a beYOUitful,thing even despite all that life has given us,we can as a people from all walks of life,and religions come together. Our goal is the same wholeness and healing for our city. So just like our ancestors we have the strength to continue to move FORWARD to attain it. To make our community better all the while working hard to leave a legacy of community, love,and culture for our Seeds! Masai was so PROUD of his sacred rocks…lol they will definitely find a home on our altar~Selah
