August 7, 2025

It’s Black August 2025! And We are two FLEA days into commemorating its 46th year. Last year We laid down some powerful work to educate the public, tell the truth and share the tenets and practice of Black August which serve to uplift and empower the People toward liberation and self-determination. This work endures and seeks to preserve its integrity, and remains as crucial as ever. (We’ll hear excerpts from last year’s Prison Focus airing as nube is in Africa.). We will continue to pay tribute to our beloved New Afrikan Brotha Yafeu Iyapo, the embodiment of revolutionary love who transitioned to the ancestors June 24, 2025, Rest in Power, Brotha. We will bear witness to the expression of the seven principles of Ma’at: Truth, Justice, Harmony, Balance, Order and propriety and the powerful show of Unity and Love we have for one another, but that is so often vilified, manipulated, criminalized and distorted. This tribute, this spiritual acknowledgment and love up, is manifest through the Ministry of Never Forget, Never Again, Never Alone, created in the loving partnership between Queen Makini Iyapo, surviving on this earthly plane, and her husband, Yafeu Iyapo, and carries forward his legacy. Husband, son, brother, uncle, comrade, friend, mentor, fighter, lover of life and unapologetic New Afrikan Revolutionary Nationalist Yafeu Iyapo lives on in us and with us. Through story and song we maintain our connection with you beloved Ya, One Love. These current tributes come from: Brotha Gha’is, Brotha Mutope, Brotha Geno and Brotha Samaki. Kan’t stop, Won’t stop All Power to the People Liberate Our Elders Free Africa! Free Palestine!
