Afrikan Sistahs Bill Of Rights
Afrikan Sistahs Bill of Rights
I made speech my birthright ... talking back became for me a rite of initiation.
~~ Bell Hooks
Black Women Have the Right to:
Be treated with respect
Be recognized as a compliment to the Black Man
Speak up for herself without fear of retribution
Seek out, embrace and follow their own destinies
Be assertive without being accused fo being aggressive
Have and express emotions
Their own bodies and a say in who touches them
Stand up for themselves without appearing to unseat the Black Man
Be aggressive when needed
To be listened to by the Black Man
Have the Black man lisen to the sexual needs and wants of their bodies
Ask for what they want
Make mistakes and be responsible for them
Say no without feeling guilty

Printed with Permission of Her Royal Grace, Princess Adinasse:
Although Yetunde asked me if she could say that I was one of her "Sheroes" I have to say this about her. Although Yetunde is my goddaughter spiritually, my heart gets full when I speak of her, for she is the embodiment of true Motherhood and has been my own "bridge keeper" of sorts. I consider her my elder, for she is senior to me in age, and has taught me lessons in life that I would never have learned otherwise, she has stood my me, through the thick and the thin, encouraged me when I thought this royalty and priesthood thang was too much, and is not only my student, but my dearest of Sistah Friends. She has brought to me as much joy as any mother ever could have and has been a wonderful "wall of water" for her godmother. I have watched her grow, now I gotta let her go to her destiny! Receive her! Ashe!
To her I say Afa! tototo Much Respect Yeye! I love you!

Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable"
~~~ Kenyan proverb
Afrikan Sistahs seeks to assist in healing the Black woman worldwide, using Afrikan Traditonal Spirituality, specifically Yoruba. We intend to go back to the original ways of our Afrikan Ancestral mothers in teaching Black women how to be tender with themselves and each other.
I was inspired in part, by the words of Audre Lorde, "and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard, nor welcomed, but when we are silent we are still afraid. So it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive".
Black women were brought to the new world to be used as slaves and to breed more slaves. No one at that time thought we would survive against the horrific, immeasurable odds against us. However, we did survive and have become the backbone the afrikan american family.
There is one thing missing however, and that is our ability to use our inherent power as descendants of the Afrikan to heal ourselves as well as our ability to pull together as Sisters. The ability to have true Sisterhood was left on the shores of our homeland. Unlike the religion of our ancestors, Sisterhood did not survive the Middle Passage and the resulting enslavement of our people.
In the villages of Afrika, women are respected as Mothers, Sisters, Wives, Co-wives, Aunts and Daughters. Women pull together for the survival of the family. They raise children together, make money in the marketplace and have their own societies to deal with the ills of the afrikan community. This has been so from creation.
It is now time for "daughters of the yam" to learn to "draw up the powers from the deep like before", in the words of Toni Cade Bambara from "The Salt Eaters". In so doing, perhaps we can empower ourselves in the ways of the Original mothers and learn to heal ourselves, our families and our communities.
May we all be blessed from the Heavens as we go about our healing journey.
Ase!
May it be so!

BLACK CREATIVE EXPRESSION FROM SLAVE HYMNS TO MODERN-DAY HIP-HOP REPRESENTS THE SOURCE OF BLACKNESS. LIKE BLACKNESS, IT IS LABELED EVIL, CORRUPT, AND INDULGENT. YET, SOMETHING WE VIEW WITH SUCH AVERSION IS EVENTUALLY WEAKLY IMITATED. I SAY WEAKLY BECAUSE TO STRONGLY IMITATE SOMETHING WE MUST HAVE COMPLETE LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO COPY. WHITES IMITATE BLACK SOUL IN THE SAME WAY A SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL IMITATES BEING AN EXPERIENCED WOMAN BECAUSE THE SOURCE OF IMITATION COMES FROM THE ENVY OF WANTING TO REPLICATE BEAUTY THAT THE PERPETRATOR ISN'T READY FOR. PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!
