What are we doing?-gctid254319

What can we all do to contribute to our liberation?
Personally, I would love to repatriate to Ghana, start a business and volunteer my time with liberation efforts.

That is what I would like to do, but it's a very selfish thing because it's about me and what I want, not what is actually needed.

Looking at myself truthfully, I realize I'm in complete chaos, barely getting through each day. Repatriation won't happen anytime soon.

My point here is that we should all assess where we are in our journey truthfully and think about one concrete thing we can do right now to assist those who have already started. A lot of us in the west struggle with mental illness, we want to do something, but are unable to because of our state of mind.

I know I want to contribute, and I also know I have some deep issues that I may never overcome... so what can I do from my current position... What can we all do from where we are...

For me, Abibifahodie Adesuabea seems the best place to start since physical conditions are manifestations of the mental state. Start with the minds of the children and youth. A small monthly contribution is the only thing I can do right now so that's what I will be doing.

What can you do?

Of course, this all depends on what is most important to you. I can't ever see happiness while Eureurasians rule over us.

Wole Soyinka in his book "Of Kmt" (which I couldn't get through due to his love of using big English words)... but he said that the confidence of an individual is dependent on the conditions of his community...or something like that.

I'm going to school for Agriculture right now. In this upcoming summer, the plan is to hop on a plane and finish school at Kwame Nkrumah University. When I finished high school, I took a year off to think about what I wanted to do. I think it was about the end of high school when I decided that I wanted to go back to Kmt. Ghana to be exact. So, whatever I would be doing, I knew it had to be something beneficial to Ghana and the continent as a whole. Inexpensive food and a healthy agriculture sector allows for the rest of the nation to develop much easier. I'm also an artist. I like comic books and have thought about being a film director, also. You best believe that anything I create will have a message.

I think your plan to repatriate, start a business and volunteer is great. It's good that you're thinking about what is the best way to help, too. I think your first plan is fine. Keep it in mind but continue to also think about what would help the most. We're a collective, but at the same time everyone has their own nkrabea. It's alright to concentrate on what YOUR path is. You will inspire others to do their 1% if you never compromise your pride and do what you can to help the community. For example, I shared my plans with my family. Now my father says he will repatriate with me, when my youngest brother turns 18. It's not a lot but it's something.

As for teaching the youth, yes that is crucial. You CANNOT call yourself proud to be Kmtyw and then not sow the seeds of pride and consciousness in the next generation, who will carry on our struggle and our ancestors struggle. There is no exception and it should not be considered as part of your 1% to the community.

Just keep learning and struggling to thrive. You have people that will help you. Your path will become clear, I'm sure of it.

Thank you so much for your very kind words. The things I see in Toronto can be very discouraging. This is the assimilationist's mecca, so It gives me much joy to hear that some of our youth want to move back, and you've inspired your father to do so as well .

Repatriation in the next few years is my goal, but too many people have been blinded by their desire to move back home. I don't want to lose sight of the big picture.
