πŸ“£ PowerAfrika β€” Day 3: Reclaiming the Name

πŸ—£οΈ Before they claimed our lands, they renamed our minds. πŸ—£οΈ
πŸ’‘ To awaken, we must remember who we were β€” before we were renamed.

“They renamed kingdoms as colonies.
They renamed peoples as tribes.
They renamed cultures as chaos.
But you, African, were never the name they gave you.”

They took Timbuktu and called it myth.
They took Kush and called it primitive.
They called our unity β€œtribalism” and our wisdom β€œfolklore.”

But you are not what they called you.
You are not “Black.” You are not “Third World.”
You are the architects of pyramids.
The namers of stars.
The keepers of time.
You are Africans β€” not because a map defines you, but because your blood remembers the drumbeat of the Earth.


πŸ› οΈ Day 3 Action β€” Speak Your True Name

πŸ”Š Share a historical African name, people, kingdom, or city erased or diminished by colonization.

πŸ”Š Tell the world: β€œI remember.”
Because remembrance is resistance.

  • β€œMy tribe is not a fragment. My tribe is a nation in memory.”
