The unbridled sexuality of the Chura dance (also known as Baikoko) from the coastal region of Tanzania 🇹🇿 is often compared to twerking in the West, but it has far more symbolism and relevance than just gyrating. This ancient dance, inspired by the frog, is taught to girls by older women as part of their rites of passage into womanhood. It reportedly helps to loosen the pelvic area and prepare the womb for an easy an successful childbearing and delivery.

They called it suicide! Sadie Mae Washington was 30 years old. A nurse who delivered over 300 babies. Killed for her brother's debt. The system called it suicide and closed the case in 6 hours. Bumpy Johnson saw a cover-up and made sure Harlem never forgot her name. Harlem, 1948. Mount Olivet Baptist Church. Sunday afternoon. Over 400 people packed into wooden pews. The organ playing his eyes on the sparrow. Reverend Adam Clayton Powell Jr. mid eulogy. Then Bumpy Johnson stood up from the second row. The room went silent. Bumpy walked toward the casket, slow, deliberate, each footstep echoing against the walls. The organ stopped, the preacher stopped. 400 people held their breath. Bumpy reached the casket, looked down at nurse Sadie May Washington, the peaceful expression, the white lace dress, the thick makeup covering her face and neck. Everyone else had seen a woman who died too young. Bumpy saw a cover up. He leaned closer, studied her neck, then reached down and touched the powder on her throat. When he pulled his hand back, his fingers were covered in thick theatrical makeup. He looked at the funeral director standing nervously near the wall. "Why is there so much makeup on her neck?" The man went pale, started sweating. Bumpy pushed back Sadie's collar, and what 400 people saw next made women scream and men turn away. Rope burns, deep, brutal, purple, and black, circling her throat like a necklace of violence. This wasn't a heart attack. This was murder. And what Bumpy did in the next 96 hours killed three men, made six NYPD officers resign, and changed how Harlem dealt with police corruption forever.

Rise and Capoeira! 🇧🇷 Enslaved Africans(Angola) brought capoeira to Brazil in the 16th century. The slaves disguised their fighting techniques as folk dancing, using rhythms, call-and-response singing, and instruments to distract onlookers. Historically, sometimes fighters with blades strapped to their ankles or held between their toes—would swing their legs high in attack, perform aerial somersaults, and pass within a hairsbreadth of each other's knees, head, groin, or stomach. This is culture! 🇧🇷

The "Ring Shout" is recognized as one of the oldest surviving African performance traditions, deeply rooted in the coastal Georgia and South Carolina lowcountry, including Savannah, where enslaved people maintained their Gullah/Geechee culture. It is a religious, dancelike movement performed in a counter-clockwise circle. Developed by enslaved Africans in the 18th and 19th centuries who merged West African traditions with American experiences, The ring shout evolved by blending African spiritual traditions with American Christian religious practices, such as spirituals. It combines singing, call-and-response, and a rhythmic, shuffling, "shouting" motion. The ring shout is still practiced today as part of the Gullah heritage in the region.

Gullah call it perlo, we call it pelau. A flavorful one pot dish usually made with chicken. We are no longer boycotting oxtail so...let's make oxtail pelau 😀 Chef's tip: Cook the oxtail until tender then add all of the other ingredients. Smash✨️ or trash 🗑?

If your white partner is not actively dismantling racist systems by challenging racist comments, jokes, or policies whenever they encounter them, both in public and private spaces, then they benefit from that racism or are in alignment with it. Why would you want to be with a racist?

Do you know this dance was banned in Tanzania? The dance became more secular than cultural and authorities didn't like that. Tanzanian pushed back and the dance continues. But the Chura music remains banned and so does twerking. 🇹🇿

Colombia has the third-largest African diaspora population in the Americas (after Brazil and the United States). Accounting for up to one-third of the country's population, Black Colombians are concentrated heavily along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, and have deeply shaped the nation's culture, music, and history. Love to our Colombian family 🇨🇴
