Thank you so much for the e-mails and information that you have
been sending me. You are a wonder and an inspiration to me and my
children and all people of colour! I have been forwarding the
information on to friends true to the cause and have found great
spiritual benefit from knowing that there are groups who truly believe
in our hreitage and race as one people who will unite and conquer those
who believe we are less than they are.

Dear Sister Nzingha,
Thank you very much for the undying support and enormous materials you share
with us. This is a quick email to confirm very safe receipt of the posters.
Wow! they are lovely. That is history in plain....I tell you already i have
shared with 3 progressive members of the movements, and i told them, we should
start a Pan African community within ourselves. we start small, think big and
strive to get as many people getting to know about our black history. The
posters have prompted us to have a showing on Saturday at the NCEC offices. I
am looking forward to getting a projector from a colleague who is willing to
give us free of charge. Sister, i am soooooo grateful, may ancestors continue
blessing us, so many people can know the truth, what really happened to the continent
we very much love.
Thank you my dear sister.
I shall keep you updated as we proceed

Dear Nzingha,
Thank you very much. That is okay, we do appreciate all the efforts you are
making to help us emancipate ourselves from neo colonialism and mental slavery.
I love the Pan African newsletter that you me to , and the information is
very rich and healthy, only that i am a bit disadvantaged that my target group
is informal settlements where most of them are women and girls, and they
do not know how to read e.t.c... We have just started, so i am sure, the
posters will be of great help in passing on information.
I love you so much my dear sister, and i owe all the respect to our ancestors
for connecting us to deliver this information to our people. The videos, i know
i have told you before, and i still feel like will never thank you
enough....they are working wonders. people have started with name change and
looks....Thank you sis.
In sisterhood solidarity

Wow Sister Nzingha,
I just don’t know how to thank you. I will wait for the posters, and will let
you know when i get them. I am sure they get to us safely. The DVD's are
working wonders .... currently, there is one journalist who borrowed all of
them, and i gave him the original copies (after making quite some copies for sharing)
and he is bound to return them probably next week. He travelled to the
Democratic Republic of Congo (where currently there is a lot of war between our
own sisters and brothers) i pray that he gets time to show some of the people
who are fighting amongst themselves to realise that the wars in the DRC are actually
not ours, but perpetrate by the neo colonial enemies who want to see Africa
going down, and are pretty scared when Africans seem to unite.
My journalist friend is trying to see if one of the progressive TV stations can
air at least one video ( i suggested that if he gets a chance he should either
show goodbye uncle Tom, Sankofa or Maisha Solutions) They are so powerful and
if K24 can honour Africans and at least show one of these, then people will
call asking for more...who knows, we might just be the reference point of
collection, and i am glad because people are quickly getting to know, and are
ready to emancipate themselves from the mental slavery and brainwashing that
Africans went through.
Just to mention, i did talk to Ochieng along time about the DVDs and how he can
get them... he keeps saying he will pick when he is Nairobi, so, i haven’t sent them,
and still have them. But i just hope he gets them sooner than later. Because
they are very powerful.
My sister, thanks a bunch for the support. This is the empowerment we have been
yearning for a very long time.
Give my love to all the sisters within your reach...
One love

Dearest Nzingha,
Thank you very much for your concerns. I am so glad i can count on you to
continue educating our people on our beautiful Continent. The continent that
was a land of milk honey, and through canning and corruption, they held us
homeless and refugeed as houses surrounded us, they held us captive with their
in-human laws, while they divide Africa amongst themselves. It is very sad indeed.
Now i understand why the great LAKE "VICTORIA" which right in the
middle of my rural home in Kisumu where my great grand parents were born is
called that, and not an African name.....it is quite sad
Thank you for the websites. I will look at them, and share the information.
Most of my contacts are illiterate, and the few literate ones, i cannot afford
to print the materials for them, but they appreciate my efforts of us exploring
Africa once again together. Our
History is our fundamental pillar for growth into the future.
Thank you my sister,
Be blessed always, and pass my love to Sister Sabrina Qureshi of the Million
Women Rise, I will always appreciate her connecting me with you.
My love to sista Winona...
Best Regards
Ogutu

I
totally agree with you. I have a major problem with the fact that Sam
Sharpe, Marcus Garvey, Paul Bogle are on obscure coins that no one
notices, while Shearer of all persons gets to be on the most valuable note.

Subject: $5000, note to carry Shearer's image
Dear Editor
I read the article on the front page of the Gleaner 18-24 May
2009 regarding Hugh Shearer's image to be on the new $5000. note. I
want to state my objection for public record. I personally do not think that
this man who was clearly anti-Afrikan people should be so honoured. Hugh
Shearer presided over a government which sought to prevent and hold back the
liberation of Black people of Afrikan descent.
He and his government banned Dr Walter Rodney from entering Jamaica which led to uprisings in Jamaica. His government also
actively banned literature written by progressive Black people aimed at
liberating the Black mind from white supremacy aggression. He banned
literature about Black power by people such as Kwame Ture, information about
Malcolm X, the Black Panthers. I see Mr Shearer as a traitor to Black
progress and he should not be given the honour of appearing on our money in a
country where over 90% of the population are of Afrikan descent (If it
were miss Lou, now that is a deserving person).
I shall make it my point of duty to refuse to accept any money with his image
on it when I am in Jamaica.
