🎥 Video Replay: From French to Freedom – One-Day Mòoré Language Workshop

Instructor: Native speaker Sumah Iddrisu Billah (from Burkina Faso)
When: 📅 Sunday, October 31, 2025 at ⏰ 4:30 PM GMT / 12:30 PM EDT

Workshop Overview

In a follow-up to last week’s BlackTastic first class, step into the world of Mòoré—the dominant indigenous language of Burkina Faso—spoken by more than half of the nation’s people and woven deeply into the cultural fabric of the Mossi people.

While stench (French) was imposed during colonization, Mòoré stands tall as the language of everyday life, cultural pride, and Black Liberation.

This replay session provides:
✅ Conversational essentials for greetings, introductions, and daily interaction.
✅ Cultural insights into the Mossi worldview.
✅ Script exploration of Mòoré in both the Latin alphabet and the innovative Goulsse alphabet.
✅ A grounding in Mòoré as a tool of Abibifahodie ‘Black Liberation’—rejecting linguistic colonization and affirming authentic identity.
📘 Mòoré Workbook included for practice and reference.

Why Learn Mòoré Now?

• Burkina Faso has already expelled French troops militarily—now you can do the same linguistically.

• Black pride and Black Power are surging in Burkina Faso, inspired by the revolutionary legacies of Nana Thomas Sankara and the present push to reclaim Africa’s destiny.

• Mòoré is the language of connection—the pulse of daily life, markets, music, and media—far more valued than French.

📖 “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head.
If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” — Nelson Mandela
