People’s Acknowledgement

I would like to acknowledge the Black Afrikan ancestors who embody resilience and courage. We invite the ancestors, with their wisdom and perseverance, to guide us, that the Afrikan sun will always shine through our eyes, and the sound of its drums always beat in our hearts as they generate and sustain our living legacy in the Diaspora
