“Black Joy is the highest form of revolution.

During the SHARED HISTORY OF THE WORLD – 1st Global Afrofuturistic Conference in Amsterdam, Yvonne Apiyo Brändle-Amolo reminded us:
‘It’s the best thing you can give the enemy when they want to kill you.’

Black Joy is not just survival - it’s creation, resilience, and celebration.

At the Shared History of the World Conference in Amsterdam, vision and heritage met on stage.
Just after the European premiere of Underneath, we caught this moment with Immanuele Grieves and director David Kirkman — whose film is now nominated for a Septimius Award.

“There is no love without action.”

Artist-scholar Quentin VerCetty ( AstroSankofa Arts Initiatives / BSAM Canada) breaks down the true meaning of Sankofa:
Colonization erased the outer twirls—but not their meaning.
One turns inward: memory and love.
One turns outward: movement

This is Sankofology—the restoration of knowledge through action.

Shared at the 1st International Afrofuturism Global Congress - Shared History of the World, hosted by First Noble Studios, where ancestral futures were reclaimed.

How do you live Sankofa?
Drop your thoughts + tag someone reclaiming their roots.
