Photo by @hellokrisdavidson | A tree photographed through a car windshield during a thunderstorm on Sapelo Island, one of eight major barrier islands along the Georgia coast. Collectively, these barrier islands comprise an ephemeral landscape seemingly made of water, sand, and salt—a place shaped and governed by winds and tides. Sapelo Island is a stunningly beautiful and wild place, separated…

For black history month I want to start off honoring the Gullah Geechee and some of my cultural roots. Proudly Gullah/Geechee! The Gullah/Geechee people of today are descendants of enslaved Africans from several tribal groups of west and central Africa forced to work on the plantations of coastal North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Many waterways parting the land made travel to the mainland difficult and rare. This separation forced people to blend tribal languages with English and maintain arts, crafts, religious beliefs, folklore, rituals, and food preferences connected to their African roots. The Library of Congress is home to a variety of resources related to the history, culture, and language of this unique group of African-Americans. This guide provides links to materials for researching the Gullah/Geechee history and culture. Users will find items such as newspaper articles, interviews, photographs, maps, and sound recordings that are available at the Library of Congress. Deeply rooted in music traditions brought to the Americas by enslaved Africans, their music evolved out of the conditions of slavery that characterized their lives. The influence and evolution of musical forms that arose out of Gullah music can be heard in many musical genres such as spirituals and gospel music, ragtime, rhythm and blues, soul, hip hop and jazz.

PSA ‼️
The function of Hoodoo is not to be some “spiritual stepping stone” on your way to another ATR/DTR that you *think* is somehow “more legitimate”. Hoodoo in and of itself IS a full, complete, and sovereign religious practice, and while there are many Hoodoos like myself that are also initiated into other ATRs (cuz fuck what your heard, there are INDEED Hoodoo initiations), there are just as many Hoodoos that solely practice Hoodoo. And they are making just as much shit shake in these spiritual streets. Trust and believe me, we are putting RESPEK on Hoodoo, period 🤌🏿 And in case this needs to be restated: IF YOU ARE NOT BLACK, YOU CANNOT PRACTICE HOODOO 🗣
With that said…
Happy Hoodoo Heritage Month to all my:
Hood Hoodoos, Black Feminist Hoodoos, Womanist Hoodoos, Hiphop Hoodoos, AAV Hoodoos, Blues Hoodoos, Communalist Hoodoos, Abolitionist Hoodoos, ATR Hoodoos, BQT Hoodoos, Soul Hoodoos, Gullah Hoodoos, Maroon Hoodoos, Black Radical Traditionalist Hoodoos, and all Hoodoos doing The Work 🖤✨🧿

I know I have my own fundraiser going on but please share and donate to this as well, the Gullah/Geechee are dealing with the same thing as we area, as my friends are in Mexico and Puerto Rico and beyond.
“The Gullah/Geechee Nation is seeing an onslaught of disrespect to sacred grounds from the Carolinas to Florida as newcomers seek to build along waterways and in historic areas. As a result, native Gullah/Geechees are coming together to call on the world to stand with us to protect these sacred areas and to honor the ancestors and family that have been resting in these sacred spaces. To that end, we are calling on you to read this link, act, and share: https://gullahgeecheenation.com/2021/04/13/gullah-geechee-burial-area-desecration/ “
There’s a HUGE push to consume land to convert it into stylish suburbs, retreats and tourism locals to ‘enjoy nature’ by destroying it to make room for gentrified new colonizer towns. They’ve been popping up all over the south, and on top of the inherent damage this causes, you cannot imagine how sacred and necessary to homeostasis these swamps and Old Growth Oaks are.
Please keep the deep south & sub tropics of the americas on your mind bc the land is under siege here, too!

Y'all, a great way to celebrate Juneteenth and also support Black Lives is to donate to the Gullah Geechee Nation Land Legacy Fund. Help Afroindigenous people maintain their connections to their lands. Black people are Indigenous to the Americas too due to ethnogenesis from forced Diaspora.
Maintaining Black land ownership is also keeping land in the hands of Indigenous peoples.

Food for thought during this pandemic. We need to better establish alternatives ways to educate and how to provide the tools and resources necessary to get things done. ---------------------- #UrbanShaman #WearWolfApparel #BRKGNG #shamanism #Spiritual #meditation #manifestation #abundance #healing #loveyourself #lawofattraction #LOA #jaxigers #indigenous #BlackAndIndigenous #gullahgeechee #Seminole #afronative ------------------------ Reposted from @seedingsovereignty Alternatives to in-person classes are a life saving necessity for students and their families while our communities navigate Covid-19. ⁣ ⁣ The barriers that colonialism creates hinder student’s access to online courses. In the two factors this study measured: Black, Native and Hispanic* students under 18’s results were real close. ⁣ ⁣ State by state, those with high Native populations saw a bigger gap between Native students and others. (NM, AZ, MT etc)⁣ ⁣ "In total 4.7 million Black, Latino*, Asian, and Native families combined lack the high-speed home internet service necessary to support online learning"⁣ ⁣ - (Horrigan et al using 2018 ACS data, ’Students of Color Caught in the Homework Gap’, Future Ready / NUL / Unidosus, 2020)⁣ ⁣ *American Community Survey (ACS) used self-identification data that represents both Hispanic and Latinx folks in this figure.⁣ ⁣ Repost: @ndn.o (at Urban Shaman) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUIehpnw2t/?igshid=4ptmja60l1xm
