FIYAH!! AFROPUNK 2021 – BAHIA
Determined to break free,
To shed the shackles placed upon me.
To rid my soul of conformity,
I establish my rights.
My terms, my love for my tribe,
Living with a naturist vibe.
Regardless of the sins,
My kin dwells in likeness of the cosmos.
Residing in the stars and among the divine light,
The spirit in flight.
Riding along the dark waves of the ether.
I find my way to sanctity and solace,
Traveling to eternal bliss.
SYMBOLICALLY SPEAKING
Adinkra in origin, Esoteric in spirit. FAWAHODIE represents the #naturistvibe movement. Let go and let live. Life has become a constant tug of war, driven by the notion of constraints and conformity. Here at Nubian Core, we strive to rebel; we dispel myths of the caged bird. We adorn the Ankh, symbolizing the essence of life and embrace FAWAHODIE as a protector against mental, physical and spiritual chains. Unapologetically Free.
Tribal Paint
Most of these images are created by the amazing Nigerian brother, Laolu Senbanjo. His work is so dope. Regardless, I love tribal paint. It is commanding and against the grain. It invokes the energy of powerful African warriors, tribeswomen and tribesmen and the creativity and adaptability of Diasporans across the globe. Decorative, intriguing, and downright sexy, tribal paint has been a muse-like turn-on of mine for years. I digitally collect many of these images on Pinterest, but wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the art form – on Nubian Core. -Dubaku

naturist yoga – waxing gibbous moon meditation
What is the Waxing gibbous moon? It’s the period when the moon is more than half-lit, and less than full. This phase is linked to a deeper understanding of planning and preparation. During this time, the light from the Moon allows for some deeper introspection—people born during this phase know how to see more of themselves. This Moon phase also encourages individual development and growth. It is necessary cycle to provide accountability and balance in one’s life.
Kandrake Amanirenas – Nubian Queen
Her persona equates power, prowess and Queendom.
Stood firm as she withstood the wicked man.
Elegant and fierce, a crafty and strategic warrior.
Prepared to push her people to protect what was theirs.
Sending enemies whimpering and crying in their sleep.
Making history with self-determination because the mission was real.
Her mission was ill. Ill-fated in the lair of the liar. What might she desire?
Truth in herstory.
Inclined to process the twisted truth as pure element.
Wrestling with protocol and order.
Attacking the air, though her fight wasn’t there.
Because the pouting prince of the nasty North dared not show for combat.
He came only to compromise – his surrender disguised as chess move… No checkmate on his sleight.
And indeed it was because to court Amamirenas was to play with death.
The warrior Queen would have snatched away his last breath.
Still serving as the most fit Mother and wife, widowed,
But living in the power of nature, discernment, and fierce intention – history was made.
