American gold is made against? Rich Spirit 2025-12-03 | An excerpt from BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions reflecting on how the global story of gold has been written, distorted, and stripped of its African origins.For centuries, Africa was the world’s gold axis, from the empires of Mali and Ghana to the trade routes that shaped global commerce long before Western borders existed. A resource that once represented abundance, artistry, and spiritual order became, through colonial eyes, a reason for invasion.When European powers dismantled African kingdoms to extract gold, they didn’t simply seize a mineral, they seized a worldview. They built financial systems, fortified nations, and stabilised economies using wealth mined from African soil, while the people who produced that value were pushed into the margins of the story.The American dollar, long backed by gold, stands on a foundation tied to resources taken from the continent, a currency strengthened by what Africa was forced to give up, yet rarely linked back to the hands that unearthed its value.Perhaps the task now is not only to follow where the gold went,but to reclaim the narrative around it, to name the abundance, the ingenuity, the histories that predate extraction. To remember that Africa was never without wealth, only without credit for it.

Eshu, the Yoruba deity of crossroads, communication, and contradiction. Rich Spirit 2025-11-24 | A trickster, yes, but also the master dialectician, the one who reveals truth through disruption, clarity through confusion.In Yoruba cosmology, Eshu governs the balance between order and chaos, between the seen and unseen. But when his story crossed the Atlantic, it was rewritten. The trickster became the devil. A symbol of complexity was reduced to evil. And with that distortion, an entire ethical structure, one built on balance, reciprocity, and divine order was fractured.In BLKNWS: Terms & Conditions, Eshu returns, not as myth, but as mirror. A cinematic trickster blurring fact and fiction, trolling the encyclopedia, exposing how history itself can be a trick played in plain sight.

Akala breaking down UK Black History Rich Spirit 2025-11-10 | An excerpt from Akala’s Oxford Union address breaking down how Black history has long been distorted, diluted, or denied its relevance on the global stage.Even during Black History Month, one of the few times it’s given space, the story we’re told in the UK often begins in the American South and ends in Selma.A history framed through a US lens, presented as universal truth, while the stories rooted here in London, Liverpool, Bristol, Birmingham remain footnotes.Perhaps the task for Black History Month in Britain isn’t to retell America’s story, but to reclaim our own, one rooted in the histories, movements, and voices that shaped Black life on these shores.CC The Oxford Union & Akalamusic
