- 2:15you for joining us tonight share this. Thanks. Greetings everyone, This is
- 2:59your Hosts Clean Mothers Senate Doctor chen Zerra of our speaks building a new legacy,
- 3:07having conversations, opportunities to share in ways that we can highlight and bring
- 3:14to the light ideas, thoughts, actions that are geared around culture, healing,
- 3:23arts, technology and spirituality. Where life inspiration, freedom and edification,
- 3:32chats for life. It's always an opportunity for each and every one of us
- 3:38to be able to share in a variety of ways. How to speak about
- 3:44what is usually observed around this time of the year. Yes, it is
- 3:50the time in most areas it would be considered winter season. And yes,
- 3:55there are a number of ideas and thoughts that come them. And yes,
- 4:00this is the time where there are observances nationally as well as internationally as International
- 4:10Women's History Month or International Women's Liberation Months, as well as here right in
- 4:19our space in the Virgin Islands of the United States, we get the opportunity
- 4:27to blend with that same observance or series of observances by hosting designated commemorations of
- 4:41Virgin Islanders, hence Virgin Island's History Month. So we get an opportunity to
- 4:46really think of these ways of how to integrate when we speak of women's affairs,
- 4:53Virgin Islands affairs, global affairs, that we take our time and mentioned
- 5:00this evening was to also be joined by a special guest, so I'll leave
- 5:03that where that is. Just in the event that there are still some technical
- 5:08issues that are preventing our invited guests to join us this evening, I would
- 5:15love for persons to just here some of the ideas, some of the thoughts,
- 5:21some of the intentions when we speak of International Women's Month are ways to
- 5:31celebrate, commemorate, and honor women, and not just in March, but
- 5:40in general so that we can actually engage in some various opportunities to share.
- 5:46So I like to start in spaces where we are. For example, there
- 5:51were observances that honor women, especially revolutionary and spirited, energetic women, as
- 6:01the backbone, the balance strength, the ancestral power and internal compass of human
- 6:09civilization. Like we have a history. And when I say we were speaking
- 6:15of women and lives, our families, lives that our men and the wider
- 6:21society and civilization really engage in culture and ways to see traditions that are interwoven
- 6:30within narratives of revolution. Some people will say resistance, some people will say
- 6:35even resilience, social justice, human rights, those relations so that we can
- 6:44restore our shared humanity. And how do you popularize those terms, and how
- 6:49does it become not just trendy for short term, but something that is institutionalized,
- 6:56something that really strengthens the type of of protests, but protests with actions
- 7:02for the benefits of the people. Yes, and to talk about these things
- 7:08in ways that women were always engaged in, whether we're the queens that we
- 7:14speak of in our own spaces, whether it's to identify that this is a
- 7:20time for really looking at the right time for how we begin to have swift,
- 7:29positive, engaging opportunities to authentically heal, to authentically engage in ways of
- 7:38presenting our legacy, of our women, of our Virgin Island's history, and
- 7:45many other observances that take Month of March nationally, regionally and internationally. I
- 7:55think this is also an opportunity for each and every one of us to look
- 8:01at different ways of how we begin to share some of these conversations and bring
- 8:07these conversations to the forefront with a joint of privilege, that we take some
- 8:16time and begin to include those memories, those ways in which we can be
- 8:26you think or balance I should say some of our own engagements. So I
- 8:31would take a moment and just ask for that opportunity to bring some truth to
- 8:39power, just in terms of how we begin to share things and sorts and
- 8:43engagements. A freak, how we love you because now we understand how they're
- 8:54pushed on and shopped you into the dimly lit corners of their history book.
- 9:03But we know the truth. How we've searched and look to lift our minds
- 9:09up for Europe. Some still don't understand how much strength and will power it
- 9:16too to get from on. Uh, there's spells and p a and now
- 9:28them one how we sprout and be that she kis and we boom up.
- 9:33We let them know we were our fun but we found our mother even be
- 9:39united with our lost sisters and brother Africa stretchersport her hands to her party,
- 9:45their sons and daughter gattered across the water in this great disaster with him calling
- 9:56that was authored by the thirty Buttons, thinking how you won't say the word,
- 10:03but they try to kill every last semblance of African spirit, hand skill.
- 10:07But destiny must afold, prophecy must fulfilled. Emancipationismnt in it's a real
- 10:13sleep thing and to get to the top. But we is at Chadlin.
- 10:22That's why from Cape Town to Cairo, bid us to Brazil, no matter
- 10:28where we were taken, we are Afrikan skin and we will he heal those
- 10:35emotionsurs and we will reclaim everything that's ours, and we will retake our place
- 10:46amounts stars, and we will redeem our ancest Africa will love you. Bet
- 11:00ideas must come. We see rare sunshining, the storm clothes are moving from
- 11:07above you, and glorious things again will be spoken of you like really love
- 11:16humanity Jah bring her up some crazy modern shans stunt is the only way out
- 11:26top of this present situations, looking backward, to go forward to our future
- 11:31destinyation, our relation to our history must be more than information. Emancipation is
- 11:37a feeling, It's an overwhelming emotion. We're so grateful for your patience and
- 11:43your willingess to share with us as we speak of ancestral ancient sacred traditions building
- 11:54new legacy. This gives us an opportunity during the opening days going into yeah
- 12:07uh, the observance of International Women's Month. Interesting. I think she may
- 12:48have froze. She may be having a bad connection, but she was talking
- 12:54about Women's History Month and bringing awareness to ancestors. We're gonna hang around and
- 13:03see if she'll be able to come back on. Of course, y'all know
- 13:11she's in the Virgin Islands, and I know all week it's just bad connections
- 13:16with the internet. So we're gonna see if she's able to to come back.
- 13:28You guys are having a great but she dropped out, so hopefully she'll
- 13:33be able to come back in to the studio. I know she was saying
- 13:37that she was supposed to have a special guess and her guess wasn't able to
- 13:41come on. But y'all know sometime there is technical issues with the internet.
- 13:48Let me see if I can get her back on. Believe me again,
- 14:07I don't know if you they're seen to be some technical issues you you were
- 14:13thros but can you can you hear me? I hear you well, my
- 14:18sister, and I hope that you can hear me well and please all of
- 14:28a sudden there's nothing we can do in those times when it happens, but
- 14:31I appreciate your patients an opportunity to just share with you some uplifting bits of
- 14:37information around some of the Black Nationalists women's activism of the nineteen twenties, specifically
- 14:50within spaces in the forty eight contiguous US New York, certain parts of Europe,
- 14:56as well as throughout the Caribbean South America. And I like to give
- 15:01a special thanks for the reference sources from which much of this information is being
- 15:07shared by doctor Kisha and Blame. I think it's really important to highlight that
- 15:13many people are very familiar with the lifetimes of the uncle Marcus Maside brother and
- 15:20through that research and seeing some of the documentation that was produced by his wives,
- 15:26Amy Astrewgarkin, who helped form the U and I A in the early
- 15:33nineteen hundreds, and late R. M. Jacks Barby, who really facilitated
- 15:39the publications and the collection of the documentation of the work. There's spoken word,
- 15:48the sermons, the statements, republications of the album markets Beside and in
- 15:56her own right. In their own right, they were very powerful for in
- 16:00terms of providing some of the most influential Pan Africans thought in action. The
- 16:08Universal of Improvement Association remains as one of the largest and most influential Pan African
- 16:18Black nationalists, African fundamentalist movements for the restoration of racial pride, of African
- 16:33grounded bouto grounded, political self determination and the illumination of separatisms and various racist
- 16:47engagements, you know, get lifting of African heritage and economic self sufficiency,
- 16:53African redemption beyond colonization, any colonization relation or internalized and just sharing Barby's vision
- 17:04in that space. And so there are a number of Black nationalists that we
- 17:08can name when it comes to whether it's gardening in the past and and many
- 17:15many others, whether it's development, doctor adding on the block part Croming,
- 17:23doctor Judis mir as well and secondary. We can do this this very long.
- 17:30We can do that in terms of the African Black historyarcally that lineage.
- 17:36And it's important one to speak of these things, especially within the cadre,
- 17:41the cadre that knew how to work on the ground with boots on the ground,
- 17:48within the Garbian movement, there's a Garden's plural movement, A should say
- 17:52first and foremost so that included foundational work work for an Astra with Barbin and
- 18:00then later on by Amy jack Star who outlived the market side. Brobbim as
- 18:08well might name the Meno Henry Etchell, Vinton Davis, doing Sisters, Lewis
- 18:18Lewis, many of us that had a very what people referred to as a
- 18:23pro comminist perspective. They were very expansive in their understanding of the patriarchal leadership
- 18:36and the way that that was being revolutionized to incorporate the greater visibility within the
- 18:44Garden movement as well to strengthen any limitations on the work that would allow for
- 18:55strategies and fundamental engagements for communities to come together in each So ultimately, that's
- 19:03a lot of that work that we would like to highlight and share in this
- 19:07particular broadcast. We had intended to have a few other opportunities to really share
- 19:14some things, so I think this is a great time to highlight even another
- 19:21piece so that when we're speaking of our work together, when we speak of
- 19:26how we celebrate one another, we get an opportunity to do so in a
- 19:33very uplifting positive way. So having purpose is very important around us, to
- 19:41us and do us you know, well, yes, I want reading.
- 20:11I want to read. Have a purpose in all you do. Just make
- 20:22show that show purposed to have a purpose. In this hairline song you call

- 22:56talk about having a purpose and bringing that term of nia. Many persons remember
- 23:03that around the time of Ponza, and that's a principle that we add three
- 23:08sixty five this year, three sixty six twenty four to seven to the best
- 23:15of our ability. That gives us another opportunity to really see some of the
- 23:19insight I always put in various spaces, especially when it comes to having our
- 23:26ability to have commentary. You really want to give thanks for some of the
- 23:30support, you know, off of Black Diamond, give thanks and praise.
- 23:34I'm very grateful for you coming forward. And just when anyone puts in a

- 24:11board and inside of social media. You want to get to that page motivational
- 24:17business inspiration with actionable deliverables. Shout out to Sister Queen story important. Thank
- 24:26you for just being present. Offering some support gives us an opportunity to really
- 24:32have some other conversations. I always tell persons please put your questions, comments,
- 24:37engagements in chat, which those persons that have been invited you seems to
- 24:41be perhaps on our side and ability to have them come into our show live
- 24:49deceive me. So we're going to stay within our usual customery time. It'll
- 24:56be a little shorty because the intention was to have more dialogue, more engagement
- 25:00so that we can address certain questions, certain commentary. When it comes to
- 25:06looking at the work for the world, the vibrations of our sisters, when
- 25:11we observe International Women's Day, during National Women's Months, parachilege, achievements,
- 25:22challenges and contributions and more to our societies, we like to make sure that
- 25:29we highlight those that we can literally call by name. Many times we overlook
- 25:37some of these names, and in that space, it gives us an opportunity
- 25:44to talk about what is a Women's History month and what does that look like
- 25:48and how it's connected to a long legacy of women involved in all the building
- 25:57blocks of society. And some of the ways in which we can begin to
- 26:03celebrate are women in areas of science and areas of mathematics, medicine, engineeringal
- 26:11architecture, of course, social sciences, nanites, finding arts, as performing
- 26:21arts, all of the creative arts, and all the other disciplines that allowed
- 26:26for are willing to be involved in their own documentation and their own development of
- 26:36institutions. To be able to remember that even when we speak of our women
- 26:41as queens are very infamous court a queen business over to her people, nature
- 26:49and the creative. And that's from mont w'sta that's a learning this important twenty
- 26:56fifteen. I think it's important to know some of the ways and we begin
- 27:03to speak of women's sister, so that we're able to highlight great persons,
- 27:11yes, but also persons within our own families, those women that were very
- 27:19prominent in the respective places of worship, your church and lost your senegal,
- 27:26your temple, and your intent. Being able to blend that into knowing the
- 27:37right time to speak about some of the significant techniques and strategies for social justice,
- 27:48for preparatory justice, for cultural heritage preservation and for the restoration of the
- 27:56type of leadership that's very compassionate with loyalty, respect and your military active you
- 28:04know, spiritual transformed to ways of being so we can speak with our women
- 28:11in a historic space, in political space and economic expensive of course, and
- 28:17artistic spaces, holistic spaces that include spirituality, so that we can keep an
- 28:25authentic relationship in all ways possible. Usually we speak of how we can just
- 28:32restore lands and certain other resources. We may even speak of power go to
- 28:38do his historical work, raur culture, heritage and spirituality as well, and
- 28:45sometimes we overlook some of the way in which we need to be breathed literally
- 28:55breathe again two or our shared humanity because we're still having these challenges when we
- 29:07speak with Women's History Month, which encompasses women's contributions with men to society development
- 29:17and how we engage respect and protect the people. That is primarily the part
- 29:25that I'm willing to continue for this evening because we are having select experiences with
- 29:33some of the technology. But I really am grateful for those persons that have
- 29:40come and offer their support or our environment. Giving thanks. Margadia Imputs,
- 29:48Johanna sisted out. You know, we're very grateful to be able to have
- 29:52this opportunity to speak about building a new lesson in different techniques, things that
- 30:00you may do. What are the things that you begin to do to strengthen
- 30:06your ability to balance between let's say, the world of work and the time
- 30:12that that requires and group that requires, and still be able to maintain some
- 30:19of these other powerful, respectful and engaging reactions with women, both with men,
- 30:29both better young or even not to any There's much more to share.
- 30:40We're looking forward to some of the inquiries that come from our sisters and brothers.
- 30:47This is a time where we get an opportunity to really acknowledge significant women
- 30:52in history and gives us an opportunity to also make sure that we show the
- 31:00different strategies of respect and how do we protect archives of our women with women's
- 31:08history is part of a larger pantheon rights and engagement and personal views is some
- 31:22have been vetted more thoroughly and just how it led up to different amendments given
- 31:30more flexibility, integration and equity with women in a very male dominant society.
- 31:41So with that, I'm really grateful. I think that in our next iteration
- 31:48two weeks, we will have an opportunity to have our guests work through some
- 31:55of our technical challenges where we're unable to get them integrated into this network.
- 32:02And we just would like to give thanks to the d Well Prove but just
