  1. Peace, my sister! Happy to join and be a part of your blog on teaching afrocenticity. As a child of the 60s, it is so powerful to read and know that our Afrocentic attitude and spirit has not been covered due to feeling of integration over the years! As an Afrikan American male educator, teaching our history is tantamount to our children and people's success!

    I am touched, moved, and inspired by the New Afrikan List. Although I feel there is nothing 'new' to recognizing our Afrikan roots, I truly applaud your decision to 're-create' this list of highly effective Africanisms!

    If I may add one more meaningful request to your list and that is for us to remain "resilient". Thanks for creating this open space to share and support.
