Community Agreements

  • This is an Afrocentric space. Dr. Molefi K. Asante created Afrocentricity as a theoretical framework in the 1980s. In basic terms, Afrocentricity is placing Black people and our experience at the center of our narratives, making us the subject and not the object of our stories. We have been colonized as a people, and through colonization, we have been taught that the european/ white supremacist (they are the same thing) way of doing, being, and thinking is the correct way. In short, we have been taught that white people are the natural authority, and the way they exist and what they think is the universal way things should be done. For many Black people, this has become the baseline and point of reference for how they navigate life. But that is a lie, and we are not doing that here. This is a space of re-indigenization, and the first step in re-indigenization is the decolonization of the mind. Everything I discuss and teach in this space will be grounded in an Afrocentric pedagogy and praxis that centers on Black Indigenous Spiritual realities. We are here to center ourselves and reconnect with our Divinity and Power as Black people. Rooted in the beliefs of Afrocentricity, this is a Pan-African space. All Black ethnic groups are respected in this space. Diaspora wars will not be tolerated.
  • There will be a zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of all kinds. No anti-Blackness (self-hate), chauvinism, misogynoir, homophobia, fatphobia, ageism, transphobia, none of that. We are Black; that is not our cultural way of being. Bigotry is european. Give the white man back his things so we can get free because none of us are free unless we all free. If you don’t agree, please leave.
  • This is not a group teaching space; please refrain from teaching about spirituality, offering advice or recommendations, or giving spiritual messages to any participants during our sessions unless directly asked to do so.
