Got some new shots done with the master himself JD Urban (@jdurban_photography) and stole this one - and maybe some others for #bkONE. We have a lot of projects in motion and I can’t wait to be able to announce all the things we are planning for 2023. It’s exciting and I feel very lucky to have the creative family around me that I have. Year 17 is gonna be a transformative one.

Reposted from @odinaala_igbo What is the spiritual usage of OJI/KOLANUT To Ndi-Igbo Oji is a symbol of acceptance, a symbol of life (Onye wetere Oji, wetere ndu). In more ways than one Oji represents the truest socio-religio-cultural life of the Igbo People. It is usually presented in every Igbo gathering, such as; traditional marriages etc. In every Igbo themed event, the honor of breaking the Kola is bestowed on the oldest male within that vicinity. This is done as an act of humility and respect. Oji-Igbo is an important symbol in the religious life of Ndi-Igbo. It serves as a emissary of good will by using it to intercede or solicit for favor or blessing .It is also a tool for communication between man and spirits. Moving forward on the religious importance of Oji, Oji is used as a tool for Divination(Afa). When broken into several cotyledons, Oji speaks the language of the universe interpreted by a Dibia-Afa (Diviner). According to Obiora Nnaji “ Oji completes a communication protocol involving, Anyawu-the sun, Ani-the earth, the diviner and the supplicant. He further explained that the sun and the earth consist of a large information database comprising of the :past, present and future. Oji becomes a tool used by the diviner to access data concerning the petitioner. ”When an enquiry is made by a petitioners”. The scatter pattern of the Oji /kolanut returns a code, which the diviner interprets for the supplicant. To a non-initiate, Oji becomes a fruit shared during festivities and gatherings. But to an initiate Oji becomes a communicant and a symbolic representation of the ONENESS OF LIFE whilst the division or sharing symbolizes the great sorrow “ODACHI”. . . . . . #ankara #igbankwunigeria #igbo #igboamaka #igbobride #igboculture #igbokwenu #igbotraditionalwedding #learning #media #naijabrandchick #nigeria #onlyinnigeria #skills #spiritwork #tradition #traditional #kolanut #oji #kolanutchallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CaUMQiBNEho/?utm_medium=tumblr

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. ~Kent M. Keith (Book: The Silent Revolution Full citation: “People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds. Think big anyway. People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway. ~Kent M.
