Warriors | Healers | Builders
Upcoming Session in Washington DC June 7-9, 2013

This is the heart and soul of AYA! Everything we do is designed to make us better warriors, healers, and builders. It matters not whether it's a photography workshop, a math class, or relationship coaching. The goal is the same.



Warriors:

We must become better warriors challenging the

  • People
  • Policies
  • Practices 

that aggress upon our families, our people and our community. It's simple. Find them and challenge them. Choose your area, unfortunately, we continue to be preyed upon in every conceivable area of life.

Healers:

African people world-wide have been and continue to be wounded by white supremacy and other forms of oppression and injected oppression. Unfortunately, neither educational attainment, physical prowess, of political position is sufficient. We need safe place to discover and heal from the brutal trauma that reverberates down the generational lines from our ancestors to us. No one can do this work for us. We

Builders:

While we fight and heal, we are also obligated to build.We must build:

  • Families
  • Organizations
  • Businesses
  • Institutions.
I know it's a tall order. I know it's not fair. Such is oppression. I know that we think we can't do it. We have in the past, and we can do it now. These workshops are designed to help us do just that.

Here "To whom much is given....” This one is for my Christian family and friends who may have slipped back into the "color of Christ doesn't matter" thinking. I don't have this discussion much anymore. Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan settled it for me 40 + years ago, and I've not looked back since. (Dr. Ben's link at the end of this post.) In fact, I've moved forward. But this post isn't about me or religion, per se, and it's certainly not about getting you to change your faith. It's more about "racial scripting" than scripture. It's about religion as a tool for white supremacy and the domination of our people - African people. It's about our believing that God's loves for us (and God's presence in us) is not dependent on us bowing to or ignoring images of white Jesus/God/angels. It's about us caring about the psycholo

By Andrew DeMillo The Associated Press Cheyne Dougan, assistant principal at Clarksville High School in Clarksville, Ark., is one of 20 Clarksville School District staff members who are training to be armed security guards on campus.( Photos by Danny Johnston, The Associated Press ) CLARKSVILLE, Ark. — As Cheyne Dougan rounded the corner at Clarksville High School, he saw three students on the floor moaning and crying.

But Dougan is no policeman. He's the assistant principal of this school in Arkansas, and when classes resume in August, he will walk the halls with a
