Remembering Ama Ata Aidoo, Feminist, author, activist.

Her character "Sissie, the protagonist in Our Sister Killjoy, says: “Yes, work is love made visible.” Ama Ata Aidoo’s love for us – women, feminists, the marginalised, African people wherever we may be – is visible in the incredible archive of work she leaves behind"

While it stinks that #FIFA have banned a #RainbowArmband 🏳️‍🌈 , I like the #UniteForInclusion armband, combining the red, back and green of the #PanAfrican flag ❤️ 🖤 💚
and the pink, yellow and blue of the #Pansexual flag. 💗 💛 💙

Wonder how queerphobic Ugandans feel about that?

🎧 Loved Mr Eazi's "Patek" last Fall when it was paired with a simple-but-koo #visualizer.

#Eazi's from #Brooklyn. On this track he collabs with #DJTárico (#Mozambique) and #JoeyB (#Ghana). The beat is #amapiano out of #southafrica. Top #SA #Producer/#DJ's #MajorLeagueDJz were in the studio on the mix.

Looks really good: Radical hope—a nine-week online course exploring #PanAfrican histories of transformative action, kinship and collective futures.

From the FAQs: "This course is for anyone who is interested in exploring Afro-diasporic histories, cultures and futures and is seeking to transform the way they think about personal, social, political, ecological and economic transformation."

Hell yeah, bro, you want recommendations? Here is my favourite band to listen to of all time - Orchestra Baobab, hailing out of West Africa (primarily Senegal), with music that epitomizes #panafrican - soul, funk, mbalax, high life, Afrobeat, reggae, calypso, blues. Here is one of their best songs:

Oh one thing I didn’t quite make clear in my #introduction post for #BlackMastodon, is where I lie politically. Well let me make this very clear: I am a #PanAfrican Socialist, whose thought is very much in alignment with the likes of #ThomasSankara, #PatriceLumumba and #KwameNkrumah.

My politics of #BlackLiberation are concerned with the global African Diaspora; as Black People, none of us are truly free until we are ALL free.

To sign off one last thing I want to say to everyone, is that…

@seanalan I need to learn more about the #PanAfrican movement. I learned a little about how #MarcusGarvey #WEBDubois and #KwameTure contributed to the movement, but I can certainly afford to learn more.

"When We Move" with Seun Kuti and Black Thought is among my favorite newer Common songs. Dope video too. #panafrican #blackmastodon #hiphop https://youtu.be/DZQL3EsZztw

#panafrican Connect Part II

Only apropos, since Flavia Coelho was mentioned earlier - "Sunshine" by the master herself.

The #panafrican Connect

More amazing music for #BlackFriday. In fact, two of my favourite songs of all time, in any genre, ever. First, "Degg Gui" by Cheikh Lo (feat. Flavia Coelho):

“The challenges facing #cooperatives in Africa include overregulation, political interference into cooperative affairs, and the existence of cooperative legislation which does not adhere to the cooperative values and principles.”

And the #PanAfrican Parliament’s proposed solution is... *checks notes*... more top-down legislative processes? My head hurts.
