MAAFA & AFRIKAN SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
Historic events shape the way people view themselves and how they interact with the universe. The Maafa (Afrikan Holocaust) is one such event that has had a tremendous impact on Afrikan people throughout the world. People of Afrikan descent have had to continually redefine themselves in the context of white supremacy and white terrorism. This redefinition process has caused some constructive and less constructive modes of human interaction to evolve within the Black community. This workshop/seminar series is aim at eradicating the toxic elements of Afrikan/Black humanity through the positive restoration of Afrikan/Black Peoplehood through engaging in the productive parameters for Afrikan Spiritual Development.
