- Episode 7: Black History Month Reflection
It’s February 2023 and as such it’s Black History Month in the United States and Canada. In those two North American countries they are celebrating the contributions of black people of the past and present. Celebrating Black history is important because the worst thing we can do is to stay silent. When we are silent, no one can understand our suffering. No one can feel our pain. No one can hear about our struggles, our courage, our pride, and our heritage. When we stay quiet, we hurt ourselves, we hurt the people who came before us and fought for a better today, and we hurt the generations who will follow us, who deserve a better tomorrow.
Silence keeps the world from knowing the story of the Black diasporas and its current state of affairs, both domestically and around the world. The Black diasporas is the totality of Black communities around the globe, including African-Americans, Afro-Asians, Afro-Latinos, Afro-Caribbeans, and native African communities. We are determined to be silent no longer.
35 min - Episode 6: Our Friends Have Forgotten Us, Part II
In the last episode, we focused on the importance of friendships and there are two main groups and historical events that were the focus of this discussion: The first was the liberation of Latin American countries and how both the Haitian independence and enslaved Africans have played an active role and a crucial part in helping countries in Latin America fight and win their wars of independence, but only to be forgotten by our Latin American brothers and sisters.
In this second part of Our Friends Have Forgotten Us, we will explore how the Black diasporas worked with the Jewish community during the civil rights movement in the United States to promote equality for them and financial rise. Subsequently, in the end our Jewish brothers and sisters have forgotten the black diaspora people once they have achieved their intended objectives.

58 min - Episode 4: Di Vinn Yawd Reflections
The Caribbean island of Jamaica is a country with remarkable wonders and beauties. Once colonized by Spain and Britain it is a predominantly black nation with its black population with no true economic and political power. Independence in name, its political leaders don’t think race consciously nor work towards the betterment of black Jamaicans. They have forgotten his Rt. Excellent Marcus Mosiah Garvey in practice. But there are individuals like Rasta Idi I who hold steadfast to the teaching of Marcus Garvey and the African culture of the black man.
In the heart of Kingston, Jamaica you will find one of the many wonders and beauties at Di Vinn Yawd, a quiet and majestic paradise. Tune in on the reflection that both Rasta Idi I and the Founder of Unlocking Our Voices discussed the state of Jamaica, white supremacy, and Africa.

49 min - Episode 2: Through Marcus Garvey’s Legacy, Part II
In this episode, we will continue our discussion on Marcus Garvey’s historical speech, “Look for me in the whirlwind” from circa 1924, is one of his most impactful and powerful works that not only gives us an insight into this charismatic man’s views on the role of the Black diasporas around the world, but also demonstrates how timeless his vision was, as most of the points made by Garvey still apply to the state of the Black diasporas today.
Marcus Mosiah Garvey was a Jamaican-born Black nationalist and leader of the Pan-Africanism movement, which highlighted the common ground between people of African descent across the world and aimed to unify and connect them. He was was the founder of the UNIA-ACL–(Universal Negro Improvement Association - African Communities League), a fraternal organization of Black nationalists who advocated that persons of African ancestry should receive “separate but equal” status and establish independent Black states around the world.

Unlocking Our Voices focuses specifically on the Black diasporas, the culture, the people, their stories, their issues, injustices, and the varying measures used to prolong our oppression and marginalization. Our aim is to connect peoples of the Black diasporas, in new and exciting ways. Equipping them with the tools, platform, and access that allows them to trace their history, and also point to how an understanding of the past influences the very present that they live in.
Ultimately impressing upon them that they hold the keys to shaping their own future. By way of dialogue and working together and by means of face-to-face or virtual constructive conversation, we seek to evolve and enhance ourselves spiritually, mentally, socially, politically, and economically.
