Does anyone here know of some fashion and art historian TikTokers/video essayists that cover West African fashion and architectural history? With a focus on the pepper/gold coast area (Liberia is preferable, but I'm more interested in pre-colonial borders as we share several groups with surrounding countries)? I've been really interested in learning about the ties between art, fashion, and politics when it comes to ethnography (thank you, Isabella Segalovich), but as usual almost everything focuses on either Nigeria or Ghana (No hate to either just wishing for specific resources).

okay so @mask-knife-is-heimdalls-wife's imagines with indigenous people being taken to pandora to live with the Na'vi is making me cry tears of joy (inside, because I'm very much in class rn).

I'm getting a little inspired and wanted to do some imagines with West African indigenous, so here it is!

Sharing fufu with the Na'vi. The consistency is not disimilar to a different food the Omaticaya have, and they instantly add it to every meal

Plaiting hair! Microbraids, topknot braids, cronrows, fulani styles especially, and weaving in iyun and segi into the hair, maybe even cowries too.

Spider stories. The Na'vi are amused by this trickster spirit and his seemingly endless greed. They take to calling some of the RDA "Nancy's" in an allusion to it.

Word games! Though popular amongst many differnt kinds of indigenous, I'd like to think late night insult battles become a form of entertainment. The Na'vi derive so much delight from hearing a person get called "kpeh boo nah kebeh" (bony butt like monkey ass)

Respect for elders. I feel like this is universal, but the degrees to which indigenous people express it are different. They observe children eating out of their great-grandma's palm and feel a deep sense of kinship, remembering just closely their little ones stick to the seniors of the clan.

That's all I've got for now. Maybe I'll make some oc's for this? Idk, just some ideas.

Happy New Years! Resolutions and Reflections

So the New Years have kind of mad me reflect on many things, and there are so many goals I wanna set for myself. However, I also want put effort into being forgiving for how long it’ll take me to meet those milestones. I’m thinking about starting a side-blog for a lot of them, just for accountability and a fun way to keep me engaged with it.

So I’m gonna outline them here!

Learning/Gaining Fluency in Kru and Koloqua. My great-grandma won’t be around for much longer, and I wanna treasure the times I have left with her and learn all I can. On top of that, I wish to strengthen my connection to my indigineity before I visit Liberia for the first time (my mom and dad’s home country). Learning Kru (and starting a side blog for it) is a great way to do that and stay consistent.

Going to the gym. Not to lose weight, or “be healthy,” but to get stronger. I wanna get swole, okay? I wan to push my body to the limits of what it’s capable of and not keep it shrunk to what society believes it should look like or be.

Consistently care for my skin. Pretty simple, I just gotta remember to do the night AND morning wash.

Commit to, and make progress on Gore Gambit and Tusks. I’m want to finish Tusks by next year and have the outline and concept art for Gore Gambit complete by the middle of the year.

Learn Notion and keep it updated and consistent

See a therapist for fuck’s sake.

These are just some of them and I really want to commit to completing my goals. We’ll uh… we’ll see how I do, lol.

No anah! Nanh Jugbe, mo klah yesna!

Hello there! I’m Dan, Kru/klao name Jugbe, and this is blog is my virtual journal on my journey to reconnect with my indigenous West African Heritage!

My father’s family is Kru/klao by tribe, and my mother is Bassa, Americo-Liberian (aka Congo), with some Kru/klao. From a young age, I’ve been raised in community here in the states, despite some of the losses I’ve had in connection. However, as I’m heading off to college soon, I want to take this year as my opportunity to learn my language, learn how to prepare more food, and build my sense of community.

This blog is also a tribute to my Great-Grandmother, "Aunty", (the display name translates to “I love you great-grandma”) who has dedicated her time to teaching me Klao, a language belonging to one of sixteen indigenous tribes from Liberia. It's also a love letter and journey to growing closer to my culture and becoming closer to my communities. Here, I'll track my progress while also posting about being Klao and Liberian/West African in general. If that's your kinda thing, feel free to stick around! Currently, I reside in Tsalaguwetiyi, Cherokee/Tsalagi land. I hope to connect not only to the community of my family’s people, but also the community around me and support my indigenous siblings worldwide!

Until then!

Na pomu trawah yo kay kpah wuloh!

1/6/2023 Note: Post was updated to reflect more accurate identity, as the term "Kru" and its etymology are contentious. My grandpa refers to us as "kru," though my grandmother revelaed the word for us in our language is "Klah" more similar to the revised anthropological "Klao".
