I’m not going to lie ya’ll, I’m venting alot because where we are as Black people in this time has me completely shook. We are now asserting that the transatlantic slave trade wasn’t real and claiming we don’t have African ancestry. IS EVERYBODY OK? But we also talked about Ice Cube Voodoo Dolls, Hoodoo as Africana retention, and more about my book talk in Dakar.
