This #Shoe #sculpture is #Inspired by the extraordinarily #beautiful and #ancient flower, #ProteaRepens. It is found naturally in what is now called #SouthAfrica and #Kenya another members of the #Protea family can be found in what are now called, Guinea, Sudan, Mozambique, Angola, and Uganda.
Throughout history Protea has been used in numerous ways including for firewood, medicine, as a sugar syrup, a cut flower, etc.
YES! Someone from Europe believed they invented it and named it after some deity. The #apartheid group of colonizers call it suikerbossie in their language. I couldn't find the #original name given by the the #AfricanAncestors.

Saturday began the week-long celebration of Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa is celebrated over seven days to stress the importance of the Seven Principles. The Seven Principles Day 1: Umoja- Unity. Day 2: Kuji-chagulia- Self-determination. Day 3: Ujima- Collective work and responsibility. Day 4: Ujamaa- Cooperative economics. Day 5: Nia- Purpose. Day 6: Kuumba- Creativity. Day 7: Imani- Faith. Children receive hand made loving gifts, and one of the gifts “include a book and a heritage symbol,”. This helps the child gain knowledge and interest on where his people originated. Jan. 1st, at the conclusion of the holiday there is a “Day of Meditation”. The day is a time of reflection. Celebrants are instructed to reflect on their life and to reaffirm their commitment to the 7 principles. All kinds of ways to celebrate. Google it! #kwanzaa #kwanzaagifts #ase #asé #africanancestry #africanancestors #love #unity #sloweddown #meditation #hope https://www.instagram.com/p/CJTYhnwlIx3/?igshid=1dxg5v5mifkhf

"Been Time For Constant Change!" BLACK CODES a.k.a BLACK LAWS As early as records will show...from the 1830's and before and years later in 2020, the horrible law destroyers and White Southerners created Black Codes. These codes haven't gone away. The codes or laws restricted Africans in America (freed Africans In America) freedom and continued the state of servitude for low wages up until now. I talk about these Code and backwards laws all the time. The laws are all wrong and must be rewritten for all people to have an unbothered existence without any injustices inflicted based on race! These people aren't God and not the Law they are demonic people working on the same team. They are like the people in the community in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre but worse and they know it. Get on the side of what is fair and just for all. Period, or you are definitely not a solution, you are the PROBLEM! Let's get resolve, let's stand for justice and humanity but stand firm! ✊🏾NO JUSTICE NO PEACE ✊🏾 . . . . . #change #changegonecome #powertothepeople #thepeoplematter #nojusticenopeace #africanwoman #iamablackwoman #africanancestors #reachoneteachone #myancestors #riseupandshine #riseup (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHlTIzhTxR/?igshid=160pb0l0uf0sg

“After a 26-year process of review and editing by a team of native speakers, the written translation of the Gullah New Testament, based on an oral language, was finally published. Gullah, also known as Geechee, is the language of descendants of enslaved West Africans who were brought to communities that are known today as the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor for the production of rice, cotton and indigo. Gullah/Geechee culture and people are located in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida.“
