"Brazilian hand games and American hand games!!!! Realizing that the art of hand games comes from Africa! I never thought about it before. It was just embedded in our childhood."
"The collective consciousness is real"
"My goodness. We played this in Nigeria too."
There's a documentary with @jamilawoods called "Black Girls Play" about the history of handclap games in the US and their importance in the Black community. And a book before it called The Games Black Girls Play, by Kyra D. Gaunt.
I have always been obsessed with this Afro Sheen commercial (1970s), that's one stunning woman.💓

Every reality is virtual, as it's processed in the brain, filtered by our beliefs, conditioned by our culture and ‘augmented’ by our prejudices. At the same time, there's nothing more 'real' than the virtuality of our thoughts.

Unfinished business
My name is Tarneem Sami, and I live in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood of Gaza 🇵🇸 with my three children. I lost my husband, Ahmed, while he was trying to get supplies for us. We are facing severe shortages of food and medicine, and we live in constant fear for our safety.
I urgently need your help to save my children from hunger and disease. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in our lives. Additionally, we need a solar energy system to provide electricity for our simple home, which costs $5,000. With the kindness and support of others, we have managed to raise €1,000 so far, but we still need your help to reach the full amount.
If you cannot donate, please share my message to reach those who can help us.
Thank you for your support and generosity 🇵🇸.
If anyone can help🙏🏾
