For Nurtured By KIN’s mission, “to Produce Consistent Practices that will Empower Black and Indigenous Populations’ Aptitude to Develop More Self-Sustaining Communities,” and others like it, we have to understand our purpose(s) for the mission, and be prepared to think critically in the face of our detractors.
Anyone who studies or thinks critically about the European world takeover, better known as Western civilization/ culture, can realize that Black and Indigenous Humans in every continent on Earth have experienced and continue to experience grave genocides– physically, culturally, economically and mentally. While some portions of these groups have been able to keep elements of their natural cultural heritage going, most of us emulate what we have been taught to believe.
If you are familiar with the movie, Men in Black, for example, it is like being flashed with a neuralyzer without wearing the protective shades, and then being taught almost everything we believe by the very people who dispossess us and simultaneously pretend to be our saviors. Too many of us continue to turn to our abusers for help, despite the repeated offenses that are evidenced in true history and present day.
Our goal is to break through these and the more covert obstacles and distractions that persist among Black and Indigenous humans throughout this planet. The work that we do is generally lauded by those that recognize the importance, viewed as separatist by those who are either ignorant to the majority of our factual backgrounds and experiences, or ridiculed by those who have nefarious intent. We aim to stay focused and pragmatic through it all, while holding ourselves accountable for what we can achieve and elevate as we progress.
We are more than capable of healthily and valiantly reconstructing our minds, bodies, and villages. And we can reset the foundation for generations to come with the confidence and wisdom to carry on strong! Glimpses of our true history teaches us this. Nurtured By KIN helps those of us who believe, see it through simple, daily steps by focusing on Preventative Health, Economics, Protection, and Cooperation. It takes working through the inside (ourselves and our homes), out (our communities and extended relationships).
