Brown Rice Family - Believe in yourself @ Trinity College International Hip Hop Festival (2013)

I just wanna say I saw this band playing last night in NYC — and what a great show they hosted!!! The positive energy and the conscious music they play makes you just wanna dance all night long, and more than anything it makes you believe in yourself. Believe that your moves are great, that regardless of what you are going through your path is blissful, that many things are possible and that we are all interconnected. Bless and Love to goodness and consciousness.

No es fácil en absoluto ser cronopio.

Ay de los cronopios. 

This is so empowering and healing. Prayers for all the women in the upfront defending our mother Earth and fighting against displacement. <3 

Guardians of life: The indigenous women fighting oil exploitation in the Amazon

Felipe Jacome’s set of photos Amazon: Guardians of Life documents the struggles of indigenous women defending the Ecuadoran Amazon through portraits combined with the powerful written testimonies. The words across each photograph are a self-reflection of the lives of women, their culture, history and traditions, and especially about the reasons for fighting oil drilling on their ancestral lands. The color designs framing each portrait use the same natural dyes found in face paint to expand on the symbols and designs that reflect their personalities, courage and struggle. (Read More)

TIME LAPSE OF MILLIONS MARCH NYC.

I don’t think that people generally realise what motion picture industry has done to the American Indian, as a matter of fact, all ethnic groups, all minorities, all non-whites. And people just simply don’t realise, just take it for granted that that’s the way people are going to be presented and these clichés are just, I mean on this network every night, well perhaps not every night, but you can see silly renditions of human behaviour, the leering Filipino houseboy, the wily Japanese, the kook or the gook, black man, stupid Indian. It just goes on and on and on. And people actually don’t realise how deeply people are injured by seeing themselves represented, not so much the adults, who are already inured to that kind of pain and pressure, but children. Indian children seeing Indians represented as savage, as ugly, as nasty, vicious, treacherous, drunken. They grow up only with a negative image of themselves and it lasts a lifetime.

we’re all interconnected by the beauty and surreal power of our Mother Earth.
