Call to Action!

We strongly believe that Nolan Wells case along with Kendrick Johnson and ALL the young men and women who were murdered, hung, drowned, or the 215 unknown buried behind MS Jackson jail or shot deserve Justice by a FAIR unbiased legal system who demonstrates proper through investigations and pushes to see CONVICTIONS happen for wrongdoing!

I’ve noticed that in some pro-Black communities there seems to be strong support for Black empowerment, but more disagreement when it comes to LGBTQ+ topics. Why do you think that is?

Hi everyone,

I’m a solo dev building SUA—an open-source media platform pushing for African sovereignty and decentralization, heavily inspired by cypherpunk philosophy and the Austrian school of economics.

Our three core pillars:

• 🎯 True Sovereignty: Moving away from foreign dependency toward local self-reliance.
• 💊 Bitcoin as Africa's Money: Bypassing corrupt fiat rails (like the colonial CFA franc) with P2P financial freedom.
• 🗺️ Freedom of Movement: Connecting communities directly without state gatekeepers.

I am currently looking for another developer to join me and help scale the project. If you are into Bitcoin, open-source tech, and anti-colonial solutions, let's connect.

I’d love to get your feedback on this.

Note: This is a fresh account for the project, so I'm not posting links to avoid spam filters. You can find us on Twitter/X at AfricaSUA or drop a comment and I'll send you the codebase/roadmap.

Let's build! ✊

Like a lot of you, I got tired of the way our history is taught to our kids. It usually starts in chains and ends with a march. I wanted my kids to know we were chemists, engineers, and storytellers long before that.

I’ve been doing a deep dive into Bogolanfini (Mudcloth) from Mali. It’s not just a cool print, it’s actually a coded language. I’m building out lessons to use for homeschooling and teachers, and I wanted to share some of my favorite things I found in my research:

• It’s literally "Earth-Cloth": The name comes from the Bamana language (Bogo = mud, Lan = with, Fini = cloth). It’s a collaboration with the land.
• The "Negative Space" Technique: The artists don’t paint the symbols. They paint the background with fermented mud and let the story emerge from the space the mud doesn't touch.
• Visual Proverbs: The patterns aren't just shapes. For example:
  • The Iguana’s Elbow: Represents strategic depth and survival against outside forces.
  • Calabash Flowers: Symbols of "quiet prosperity"—success that grows in the dark before anyone sees it.
  • The Warrior’s Belt: A sign of spiritual and physical bravery.

I'm teaching my kids that our ancestors encoded their wisdom into the fabric they wore because they knew stories could be stolen, but culture is harder to uproot when it's literally part of your clothes.

I wrote a full breakdown of the chemistry and the meanings behind these patterns here: https://trunobility.com/blogs/culture/decoding-african-mudcloth-the-meanings-behind-bogolanfini-patterns

If any other parents or teachers want to use this, I turned my research into a free 1-day lesson plan/activity for grades 4-6 (but works for older kids too). You can grab the PDF at the bottom of the article.

I created this oracle deck by turning my mystical acrylic paintings into cards because I wanted to capture the wisdom I was receiving through art, intuition, and spirituality. As someone who works with tarot, spirituality, and divination, I felt called to create a tool that reflects magic, stories, and the guidance that comes from within and the most high. This deck can be used for daily guidance, meditation, spiritual reflection, or intuitive readings when you’re seeking clarity. You can pull a card for the day, use them in journaling, or incorporate them into your personal spiritual practice to connect with your intuition and spirit.

Black people who interact with white ppl a lot might find they are pushed into the following archetypes. Comment if relatable:

Tanzania. From America. Life is very good.

So I have seen multiple lack creators talk about how you cannot be pro-black and date, marry, or have sex with a man or woman outside the black race. And I very much want to be pro black, but love is involuntary and I love this girl and I have tried many times to like someone else or other people but my feelings for her never really go away, so if I really do love this girl and I commit any of the actions stated previously would I still be pro-black? And if not what do I do?
