Reclaiming Afrikan Power: Awakening the Spirit of Community and Revolution

Kulture Queen’s 28th September Speech at David Maillu’s Push Gen Z Push Harder Book Launch

Grand Rising WanaAfrika.

Acknowledge the Elders here. I give thanks for their wisdom and handholding. 

I give thanks to all the Ancestors represented by each one of you here. 

My name is Joy Jerop, some of you know me as Kulture Queen. 

I’m a graphic designer, and currently, I’m learning product design, which is UI/UX and industrial design.

I am a panAfrikanist as well. I run Kulture Magazine and I’m building the Truben Cultural Centre in Kapsabet.

I’m also a lupus warrior.

Enough about me

Today, we are here to celebrate a maverick. Not many words would be enough to describe the person I encounter whenever I encounter Mzee. You see, David Maillu exudes an air of Pharaohmanship effortlessly, and it’s because of the knowledge he drops—knowledge that comes from his ancestral bloodlines and destiny lines. I think it is no coincidence that he looks like Baba Credo Vusamazulu Mutwa.

The consistent message that David Maillu conveys is one of returning to the true community. That translates to a council of leaders when it comes to governance. 

You see, the western system of thinking that has been employed in every sector today is one of compartmentalization. Classic left-brain thinking.While the Afrikan way of thinking is one of wholeness.

The problem with compartmentalization is you forget that everything affects everything. And it is also easy for you to do intense evils. The government is handled separately, the education system is handled separately, the medical system separately. Things within these systems are also subdivided into compartments and handled separately without important consultation, creating chaos. In Afrika, the Government was advised by a Complex spiritual system, and the same system was the basis of everything hence unifying all the systems in Afrikan societies.

Rockefeller is a classic example of how the right brain works. Open the human body to understand what foods and medicines make us worse, to kill us slowly, hence he went ahead to work with Monsanto and to create big pharma to create seeds and medicines that destroy the genetic composition of the whole world really, including his own people so that his future generations can own and dominate the world and all its resources.

Meanwhile, governments, the next compartment is used to facilitate this quest for dominance. Bill Gates probably leads this compartment. Forcing governments to accept vaccines and chips in our babies, among other evils. This started when power was handed over from colonizers to the Kenyatta family here in Kenya.

 It’s common knowledge that this family will be forever rich. Because they agreed to be the watchmen of the British Empire. Make sure their affairs here run smoothly. Squash anyone who dares to interfere. Kenya is an extraction plant as recently exposed by Mordecai Ogada and John Mbaria in their book “The Big Conversation Lie’ .You can figure out the rest of the puzzle for yourself.

The last compartment I will explore is education. I would love to explore religion too but that’s a story for another day, but both religion and education were direct tools that were actually used simultaneously to brainwash society, especially after long periods of isolation from our culture. The colonizers were quite patient. They had strategies for different generations. They initially massacred spiritual people including herbalists, many of who were powerful women, then put the other people in the concentration camps, where apart from being beaten, people just sat in fear and there was the separation of men, women and children- compartmentalization that allowed intense evils on our people to occur. 

(Separation of youth and elders. Separation of women and women. Social disintegration.)

This contributed to making the minds of our people docile. After years, their children were forced to go to school to be taught everything backwards.

Education was the tool used to put information in our heads.

We learn that colonization had benefits because it brought Christianity

But we have also seen that those of us who read set books like Mstahiki Meya and Betrayal in the City were on the streets. Unfortunately, we learn a very Eurocentric view of the world, when we should be learning about our Afrikan ways of life and not in a classroom with desks that promote backaches, stress, and a cocktail of problems. But the school of the Afrikan is nature, and participation in community.

We need to wake up and realize that colonization destroyed our communities. Today we are fighting a neocolonial system that includes our governments.

Bob Marley once said “Every law is illegal, every government upon the face of the earth is illegal” because these governments are the arms and legs of the neocolonial system. It is our leaders who open the doors to these colonizers to come and take our minerals, and effect policies that destroy our livelihoods because they are working towards a future when we will own nothing and be happy? by 2030.

Is that the future we want?

The gen-Z protest was an indication that things are not okay in our system, nothing is working. I am also grateful to the divine and the divinities that lots of gen-zs and millennials are curious about themselves, their culture and who they are as black people. What is happening in our continent is the work of the Ancestors and it cannot be stopped. We better realize who we are and start rebuilding our communities again.

As I conclude, I know the book will inspire you to see the possibilities that are right under our noses. The mindset of the true Afrikan is that we create our own reality. We abide by the seven hermetic laws. They are as follows:

• The law of mentalism states that the universe is a mental creation and that all things are created through the power of the mind. All your actions are first thoughts. 
• The law of vibration states that everything is in a constant state of motion and vibration and that everything has its own frequency. For example, when two friends argue, you create negative frequencies, but when you’re in an inspiring place, you feel uplifted and ready to conquer anything. 
• The law of correspondence states that as above, so below, likewise, as within, so without. Life is a mirror.  Your environment is a reflection of your mind. 
• The law of Polarity states that everything is dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites, find the balance to allow flow and stability in your lives. Expect every good to have a bad, and don’t be surprised when bad has a good. It’s just nature.
• The law of rhythm states that everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall – nothing is permanent. Flow with life as it comes.
• The law of Cause and effect states that every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause. The reason Afrika is the way it is today is because colonizers came and destroyed our spiritual, socio-economic and sociopolitical systems. That’s why many of us have felt confused about life.
• The law of Gender that states in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles, including human beings. The feminine principle often involves qualities such as intuition, connection, and harmony, while the masculine principle is associated with rationality, differentiation, and linearity. However, these principles co-exist and co-emerge within all individuals, beyond gender stereotypes. They are often metaphorically referred to as the sun (masculine) and moon (feminine) or the rational (masculine) and emotional (feminine) parts of an individual.

Knowledge and application of these principles will lead us back to nature, back to community, and back to the future. 

More power to us in this revolution. I give thanks for the Elders, their wisdom and guidance. I give thanks to the Ancestors for paving the way and sending signs that now is the time for transformation.

The world is our canvas; we are limitless. The system has put us in an illusion of government, hospitals, schools, religion, and dependency on useless governments. But we can live outside this and create communities in which we can heal and thrive in.

One love.
