Thanks for introducing me to Dr. Marimba Ani. I knew of Dr. John Henrik Clarke but didn’t know he mentored Dr. Ani. Enjoyed your presentation.

My pleasure. She is a wonderful thinker and her book has had a huge impact on my understanding of the world, life, everything!

That distinction cosmic self vs objective self that Mama Marimba Ani makes was so clarifying for me

Same here. It's important to keep coming back to it periodically so as to keep grounded!

They have zoos, we have a totemic systems in Africa, where animals have a sacred relationship with man, we recognise the divine in nature and animals 😊.

Funny point about "thinking through our body", Body part expressions in Afrikan language comes to.mind, Ex, in 🇯🇲 we say "mi head a hurt a mi" as opposed to "my head hurts" 🇭🇹 tet mwen fe m mal is literally "my head makes me hurt"
