Miriam Makeba’s Portrait Greets And Grounds You Near The Entry Of Africa Fashion. 

Miriam Makeba’s Portrait Greets And Grounds You Near The Entry Of Africa Fashion. 

Miriam Makeba’s portrait greets and grounds you near the entry of Africa Fashion. 

Makeba’s emergence as a singer on the global stage coincided with the emergence of an independent African continent. Her songs blended popular musical styles like Jazz with indigenous South African melodies, often incorporating Swahili, Xhosa, and Sotho lyrics. Well-known globally for her songs Pata Pata and Qongqothwane (the Click Song) Makeba’s music and self-fashioning embodied African liberation and identity. 

For many Africans, her music gave voice to the dawn of a new independent era and the liberation struggles that remained. Affectionately referred to as Mama Africa by her legions of fans, Makeba came to embody a forward-looking Pan-Africanism and Black Power. 

See this portrait of Makeba and hear her singular voice as part of the African Cultural Renaissance that welcomes you in #AfricaFashionBkM.

Sadly Naomi Campbell has shown more allegiance to the rich and criminal than to vulnerable people (including girls and young women in relation to Jeffrey Epstein), but we love this picture anyways.

This deserves another re-post in light of the escalation in the West Bank. #Neverforget

On January 2, Netanyahu declared that: “Our problem is finding countries willing to absorb Gazans and we are working on it.”

On January 2, Netanyahu Declared That: “Our Problem Is Finding Countries Willing To Absorb Gazans And

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich corroborated: “encouraging voluntary immigration” because “two million people [in Gaza] wake up every morning with the desire to destroy the State of Israel.”

On January 2, Netanyahu Declared That: “Our Problem Is Finding Countries Willing To Absorb Gazans And

Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel told Zman that “voluntary migration is the best and most realistic program for the day after the fighting ends.”

On January 2, Netanyahu Declared That: “Our Problem Is Finding Countries Willing To Absorb Gazans And

Thus, Israel's official discourse adopted the term “voluntary migration”, even though we know that there is nothing “voluntary” about it, after all, bombing houses and hospitals, punishing the people collectively through starvation, pushing the people to the Egyptian border and other areas that were supposed to be safe, but in the end they are invaded and bombed like all the others were, among everything we have seen so far, there are no actions that give meaning to such a term (a term that should not even exist, just like the Terrorist and Illegitimate State of Isnotreal).

Because there's no enthusiasm from Western allies, Israeli diplomats are scouring the world in search of governments willing to welcome Palestinian refugees.

There are no effective actions that punish Isnotreal and/or bring some justice to Palestine, the USA always vetoes the votes (useless and which have already become jokes) for a ceasefire resolution and the northern countries issue mere notes of repudiation as if, like Canada, were not erasing Palestine from their official documents.

It is worth remembering that the Zionist movement in its beginnings considered transferring the world's Jews to the African continent, to establish their own state there, before choosing Palestine as their destination for colonialism. And as Theodor Herzl, father of Zionism, said: “Antisemites will become our most reliable friends, antisemitic countries our allies.”

Israel's Heritage Minister Amihai Eliyahu said on January 5 that settlers and soldiers “must find ways even more painful than death” to “get rid of” Gaza's Palestinians. It's not difficult to draw parallels with the N4z1 movements in Germany.

Hello everyone, I have an update to make.

Donate to Supporting my family in Gaza amid the crisis, organized by Yara Mohammed
gofundme.com
Have you ever experienced seeing your dream broken in front of your eyes an… Yara Mohammed needs your support for Supporting my family in Ga

Yara and her family have been displaced after their home was destroyed. They now suffer in Mawasi, Khan Younis without any of the basic necessities for life. Yara herself is also unable to complete her physical therapy studies since Islamic University, the place she studied, was destroyed by the occupation.

Hello Everyone, I Have An Update To Make.

In order to help her family of 9 survive this genocide, Yara is trying to raise €20,000. Since my last post on this campaign, she's raised only €988; this puts her at only €1,385/€20,000.

Please do whatever you can to help Yara and her family. Donate to her if you can and share her campaign. Help them survive.

VETTED HERE

Y’all know damn well ain’t nothing changed here for Black Americans. It evolves with the times. Modern-day lynchings and all. It’s not just overt racism like back then, but covert racism to boot. Bill called it white supremacy. I call it white terrorism. Ain’t nothing supreme about it.

Anyone involved in the Civil Rights movement for the right reasons had an FBI file on them. I wonder how deep his was smh.

Rest easy, Bill Russell (1934-2022) 🕊❤️

Bethlehem, Palestine

This was my favourite part of the House of Banksy art exhibition

This Was My Favourite Part Of The House Of Banksy Art Exhibition

I never was in Bethlehem/Palestine, I always wanted to see the local people there and Banksy's hotel. But I was very happy to see even the replica of one of the hotel rooms and the art works in it.

It is called the hotel with the worst view. They even tried to make a window that should replicate the ugly ass wall with Banksy's art.

This Was My Favourite Part Of The House Of Banksy Art Exhibition

Sadly Banksy's hotel closed shortly after the genocide in Gaza started, I mean 2 million lives are literary starved to death or constantly attacked after all... what even more devastating is, that the genocide will continue for almost a year a now. It is just sickening to see that no politician gives zero fucks about it ...

Here are more information about the wall.

Also one of my fav artworks:

This Was My Favourite Part Of The House Of Banksy Art Exhibition

And one of Banksy's recent art works ... it was call for a ceasefire. He posted it on his Instagram. But shortly after he posted it, a fucker stole the stop sign wtf ...

Streetart is made for everyone to see and enjoy. But it is also completely unprotected and has a short live ...

This Was My Favourite Part Of The House Of Banksy Art Exhibition

I need to be honest with myself ... him being pro palestine and including palestinian people in his projects is my main reason why I love his artwork so much.

He built this the Walled of Hotel to help the local people and even made an art gallery inside the hotel to show more about Palestinian history and Palestinian art. The money the hotel earns was used to fund local project and help the Palestinian people.
