When white people ask, "Do you wanna party?" It's guaranteed you're gonna have a frosted nose or some something tired around your arm involving a needle or a spoon and lighter...lol it NEVER involves music or dancing

Cuz my birthday is tomorrow and I should be in NC visiting family but we didn't hit the road early enough so off for some 🍷🍷🍷 to celebrate at home 🎁🎈🥳

I'll leave this right here.

In Akan culture - Ghana 🇬🇭 Fontomfrom ( Talking Drum) is the biggest drum of the drum ensemble. It is mostly used to communicate royal messages.
The Fontomfrom ensemble provides music for ceremonies honoring Akan chiefs and royal processions. It can also be used to recite proverbs or replicate patterns of speech at most Akan royal gatherings.

Welcome to the new members. Introduce yourselves. It's a safe space.

Newcomer myself... been on the platform since 2021.
A bit about me...

My name is Eternal Love, Self Employed since 1999! I own a home, very little debt, and I'm a Music Producer/SongWriter/Audio Engineer (with a focus on mixing). I have an extensive background in virtually everything entertainment business related including all aspects of studio recording/production, but the BUSINESS! How deals work (legal/contracts) publishing, running an indie, copyright admin, how to grow an audience which translates to ALL businesses, and MUCH more.

I build/mod studio gear as a hobby, and currently offer Studio grade recording Microphones rivaling Mics in the $3000 to $7000 range (Neumann U87, AKG C12, Telefunken Elam 251, Neumann U47 FET etc.) at a fraction of the cost. 🎙

Additionally I teach all things Entertainment Business related, AND I'm a Marketing Strategist, with certifications in large language models (Artificial Intelligence ie Chat GPT/Bing AI etc), and am currently enrolled in Google's Data Analytics course to expand my knowledge of Data driven marketing which I've been doing for the past 10 years or so. I have a cursory knowledge of computer programming in several languages, but currently couldn't hack my way out of a paper bag.🤣🤣

I'm spiritually grounded, and am all about unity. I spent years in the presence of several Beloved scholars.. I was present early in the growth of ASCAC (The Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations) with Dr. Yosef "Ben" Jochannan, Dr. John Henrik Clark, Dr James Smalls, Dr. Leonard Jeffries, Dr. Amos Wilson, Dr. Jeanie Bain, Dr. Joye Hardiman, Minister Conrad Muhammad, Naim Akbar, Sis Sonia Sanchez, and a host of other members of ASCAC, and spiritual leaders. I met Ra Un Nefer Amen, and Queen Afua a few times and chopped it up... I sat at their feet, and soaked it up! Also I a student of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad / The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, Marcus Garvey, Jesus, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and have and continue to study numerous spiritual disciplines seeking commonalities, and agreement of which I have found, and continue to find many!

I discovered the teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad very early in life, and they have helped me clean up, and experience; I believe, a better quality of life overall, and learn to practice self-determination, and optimism. APDTA, because I was in a very violent, and destructive space. 🤦🏾‍♂️ Both of my sons are named after Elijah Muhammad.

The Yoruban name Ifetayo (both of my daughters wear this name) Love is enough for joy, or better yet Love Excels All.

I live by that. Love Excels All!! Muslims say Allah U Akbar. God is The Greatest! They are one in the same, and you don’t even need to believe in God to see that when we let hungers, and lust drive us we are at our worst, and when we let higher self guide us there is no limit to what we might accomplish. Love Excels All. 💯

I mentor adolescents and young adults. Worked at one point for white people for about 5 years as a crisis intervention counselor with drug addicted, and at risk youth. Outside of that voluntarily taught youths, peers, and at one point a couples class that branched out to female focused group which always felt a little weird because I'm a man. The ONLY man teaching a class to ALL women, but hey they relentlessly requested it, and I have to admit it went surprisingly well. Except for the crying. There was a lot of crying.🤣🤣

🖤🖤
Far from perfect, but I love my people, and work tirelessly for our collective unity, and success. I am so glad to have found a home in the Melanated People Social Media Platform. #mp4life

I'm with Ocho on this one
