Habari Gani, Black/Afrikan Family. May you all be doing blacktastic and in Great Spirits on this siku nzuri Sunday*. I am currently on a raw foods 21-day journey in which I have purchased the weight release products from DHerbs. (Which was founded in 2004 by A.D. Dolphin-but most importantly to me, a black man). During this time, I will continue my readings with a focus on the brilliant Dr. Amos Wilson for the first two weeks and finish with the beauty & wisdom of Marimba Ani (Yurugu). And of course, watch lectures & buy an ebook from the Blacknificent duo, Okunini Obadele & Kamau Kambon. I am certain that the knowledge from these 3 legendary Afrikan Warriors will keep me mentally on point & Afrikan centered. I’m on vacation for a month and I will absolutely enjoy it.

Habari yako dada? Mimi pia najifunza Kiswahili, walakini, ninaiandika bora kuliko ninaiongea. Neno kwa ‘Sunday’ ni ‘Jumapili. Kwa hivyo, kwa sasa ninasoma kitabu cha Amos Wilson inaitwa, ‘Black on Black Violence…’ Na pia nina kitabu inaitwa ‘Yurugu.’ Baraka nyingi juu ya safari yako ya kula afya.
Dadako,
Adjoa B.

Asante Sana dada. Yes! You write it very well and I think I got most of it. I thought for a second that Sunday was a word that Our ancient Afrikan Grandcestors created but wasn’t sure what the language was. I haven’t been studying enough because of work but it will get better gradually. It’s awesome that we are reading the same books & on the right path to freeing our Afrikan minds of this nightmare. Nyanja za Baraka to you dada and stay Blacktastic!

I dont even study the way I should which is why I may not speak as ‘good’ as I write. The word for Sunday in Swahili in I think translates into ‘day two’ on the Swahili calendar, but I could be wrong. Ndugu @Karuga can explain it better than me. Yes, it’s cool we are reading or know of the same books. Thank you for replying.

Yes you are right. Jumapili means day two of the week. “Juma” means week while “Pili” is two. This comes from Islamic influence whereby they worship on Friday (Ijumaa), their 7th day. Making Saturday (Jumamosi) day 1. “Mosi” means one. Afrikans at the coast adopted this measure of time when they converted to Islam. Others who were converted to Christianity e.g. Kikuyu refer to Sunday as (juuma) meaning 7th or end of the week, then Monday becomes “Wambere” for 1st day and so on. The naming of days as it is currently is an adaptation to an alien time system. We have indigenous names for each of the 24 hours and seasons but the week system of worshipping on Sabbath is alien
