“Once you realize the power of your thoughts, you won’t just think anything. Once you realize the power of your words, you won’t just say anything. Once you realize the power of your presence you won’t just be anywhere”.
Marcus Garvey

I saw this guy in Harlem yesterday.
A complete ancient Egyptian genome has been successfully sequenced for the first time. Researchers sequenced the DNA of a man who lived approximately 4,800 years ago, during the Old Kingdom period when the earliest pyramids were constructed. This groundbreaking discovery offers new insights into the genetic history of ancient Egypt and reveals intriguing connections to Mesopotamia.
But, I’m telling you, I saw this guy yesterday talking to a fellow in a red, black and green dashiki in front of the Apollo Theater. He was wearing a Black Panther button. I think that’s why I noticed and remembered him.
So, the diaspora goes back 5,000 years to the pyramids and the glory that was ancient Egypt and exists today in Harlem and in us.
It’s okay if most Egyptians want to embrace the 20% of their middle eastern heritage rather than the 80% African ancestry. It’s okay if they’re olive or honey colored but Africa is African. It’s their birthplace and birthright.
Black Pharaohs were the Nubian rulers of the 25th Dynasty of Egypt, also known as the Kushite Dynasty. These pharaohs, originating from the Kingdom of Kush (located in present-day Sudan), conquered and unified Egypt in the 8th century BCE, establishing a period of Nubian rule that lasted for about a century. They are remembered for restoring ancient Egyptian traditions, building impressive monuments, and leaving a lasting legacy.
