We never get to see who is the real boogeyman, so we're played to focus on an enemy that they said was there instead of the true enemy. The goal was to keep us focused on each other so we wouldn't see the bigger picture. Every year these same Boule leaders come to our communities to stir you up to vote. The reason Black secret societies (Boule) were formed to control you, because nothing ever gets better, it's the same old racism.

What if the earliest story of the risen Christ wasn’t preserved only in Europe’s manuscripts, but also in Africa’s highlands protected by monks who copied Scripture as sacred duty, not political convenience? This video explores the Garima Gospels and the wider Ethiopian manuscript tradition, asking how early Christian memory traveled, survived, and sometimes diverged across regions long before modern canon debates. We examine why Ethiopia maintained an expansive scriptural archive, how Ge’ez transmission shaped continuity, and why questions around post-resurrection material still matter for faith, history, and identity. At the center is this question: 2000 Year Old Ethiopian Bible, Has a Post-Resurrection Passage Lost in Later Gospels and what that possibility suggests about how Christianity was remembered across centuries.

Echoes of the Ancients
Before 1884. Before the Berlin Conference. Before fourteen European nations sat down in Berlin and carved the continent like a birthday cake… Africa had names. Real names. Names that meant something. Names tied to languages, ancestors, and gods. This is what Africa was actually called. From Wagadou (what you call Ghana) to Kemet (what you call Egypt). From Manden Kurufaba (the Mali Empire) to Kongo dia Ntotila (the Kongo Kingdom). From the Dahomey Amazons to Queen Nzinga of Ndongo.
