Why don’t Africans seek therapy?
We’ve normalized suffering in silence. We call it strength. We call it resilience. But sometimes, it’s just pain passed from one generation to the next.
In many African homes, “pray about it” replaces therapy, and “be strong” replaces healing. Yet unspoken trauma shows up in how we love, raise children, and deal with conflict.
Join me and Dr Anthony of our second live on 20th Sept via TikTok as he takes us through overcoming childhood trauma.

For years, I searched for purpose. I only found it when I began sharing African history and culture, and realized this was the path my ancestors had been whispering all along.
For too long, we were told our way of life had no value. But the truth is: they fed empires, shaped civilizations, and carried the wisdom of generations.
That’s why I’m honored to introduce The Ssubi Project, in partnership with Gaskiya's Compound. Together, we’ll bring African-centered lessons to children and communities, rooted in ancestral truth.
Because the fastest way to destroy a people is to erase their culture. And the surest way to rebuild is to return to it.

We’ve been told Africa must “catch up.” But catch up to what? A model of progress that pollutes rivers, erases culture, and isolates people?
If Africa stopped imitating and fully trusted its own path… how would the world change?

They took the chains off our bodies but they left something harder to break:
the chains on our minds.
This spoken-word reflection uncovers the psychological war waged on African people across generations. From cultural amnesia to systemic erasure, it explores how colonization didn’t end, it just changed form.
If you’ve ever felt the weight of inherited silence, forgotten stories, or a name that was never yours, this is for you.
Because healing begins with remembering.
Share this with someone who needs to hear it.

Before the flags were planted… African places already had names, sacred names rooted in meaning, not conquest.
In this video, we uncover some of the real names we gave to our rivers, waterfalls, and mountains, before they were renamed by colonial powers
These were not just names. They were languages of the land, honoring the spirit of place.
But colonialism replaced them with names we now teach as “truth.”
What sacred names were changed in your country? Share in the comments.

She was the one-eyed warrior queen who dared to defy Rome.
Queen Amanirenas of Kush, a fierce, strategic, and unforgettable leader, led a surprise attack against the Roman Empire and captured three major cities. With her son by her side and 30,000 warriors behind her, she fought back against Caesar Augustus and forced a peace treaty so powerful, even the Romans backed off.
In this video, we share the the first part of a series about the true story of Queen Amanirenas, www.youtube.com/shorts/CEpfJW...
This is the African history they never taught us in school.
It’s time to remember.

To everyone who has subscribed and future subscribers…
Thank you, from the depths of my spirit.
Every time you hit “subscribe,” it’s more than just a number.
It’s a hand reaching out… saying, “I remember. I belong. I’m proud.”
This channel is not just mine, it’s ours.
A place to honour the names our grandmothers whispered.
To tell the stories that colonization tried to silence.
To remind ourselves that African wisdom was never lost… it was waiting.
Your support means more than views or clicks.
It means we’re awakening together.
We’re rewriting the narrative.
We’re giving our children something to stand on.
So to you, who watched, felt something, and chose to stay…
Thank you for walking this journey with me.
Let’s keep going, for the ancestors behind us,
and the generations ahead.
With deep gratitude,
M S
