We are so thankful to our ancestors and the struggles they went through for us and now we must do the same for our future because we still have to teach and practice our traditions because African people are still practicing other religions that are not of there forefathers and foremothers and this is why they end up in alot of problems. The Eurocentric religions and churches have forcefully for years have provided a negative narrative regarding Isese worship. This was done to cause division and to have economical power and to oppress African people of the world.
What we must realize is that ALL AFRICAN PEOPLE WORLDWIDE are one and the religions that was given was not of the practice of of our forefathers and foremothers , as you get older you become wiser and you grow and see the reality in the world you are living in. That many things do not fit the psychology biology, sociology of African people our science proves these theories.
In the words of Dr Jawanza (19
88) ” You cannot learn about 400 years in 28 days – Black history month”
“We must know who we are and identify with West Africa as African people worldwide and not be afraid of ashamed of the gift of melanin that we possess. We are beautiful African people and must change our economical position so we have the true power to liberate us worldwide”- Iyanifa
