methali translation:

one who ‘chooses the (type of) hoe‘ is not a farmer. 

and 

Embako sebea ta!  - the jembe doesn’t lie.

[luhya methali that translates as] hard work pays.
one way that the jembe doesn’t lie is having vuguza* in storage. (vuguza is the maragoli word for seed)

Guiding principles (in):

harvesting calls to action/s from the black food sovereignty conferenceS and other movement building convenings.

 like crear | résister | transform: a festival for feminist movements (whole moon of magical/l gatherings in September, hosted by AWID), and the 2nd black policy conference on november 27 2021.

kwasababu (because) we are the ones we’ve been looking for; this mapping journey is grounded in network bridging within Tka’ron:to, Turtle island, 

in this foundational year.

what seeds can we plant today that will make the most difference to our futures?
