Going back to our roots is more than just learning our clan names and wearing cultural attire. It’s about understanding the wisdom in our indigenous knowledge systems. Our African languages hold the keys to the sacred workings of the earth and the cosmos. Astrology was an African time-keeping system before it became a western pseudoscience. We are the generation that will reclaim the knowledge of our ancestors to bring our people back into alignment with nature.
