You G.R.O.W.W. Girls- Teach a Girl Heal A Nation

"We must teach our youth true knowledge of self. to empower them with a legacy of wealth." Nuta Beqsu Amen-Ra

 As we grow into the knowledge of our great Afrikan Ancestral Heritage, let us embrace our Beautiful Ebony Indigo Girls!

We must Love them, feed them healthy foods, teach them positive activities and exercise, experiences and positive values, knowledge of self and Identity.

In my humble opinion, we must focus on cultivating the inner standing of Mind Body and Spirit within our girls and young women. This is why I established an African Centered parent and girls group called "You G.R.O.W.W. Girls"- Teach a girl, heal a nation.

As souls having a human experience. Our Ebony girls of Afrikan descent will grow to be our next generation of family and Community. We're planting the seeds of STE-A-M into our girls. In their play dates, they will use project-based objectives to learn Urban Agriculture, Financial literacy, Consumer Savy, Entreprenurial pursuits, home Economics, Minor Home Repair, Automotive, technology, electronics, carpentry, and Chemistry experiences.

This is a component of Amen Ankh Akademy https://amen-ankh.blogspot.com



We teach each of our young girls self-knowledge - to understand the power of their Mind Spirit and Bodies, as a sacred temple of life, and to return their self-esteem and self-respect, in their knowledge of their talents and gifts, and an inner-standing of their African heritage, not only for each individual girl and her family but for her nation.

At Amen Par Ankh our Motto is: "Teach a Girl- Heal a Nation."
We Celebrate Life with a group called You G.R.O.W.W. Girls. G.R.O.W.W. Stands for Gaining Resilience, Opportunity, Wellness, and Wealth. We teach young women using an African Centered Cultural perspective, how to live virtuously, practically, and with integrity. How to withstand and endure with resilience, the tests, and trials of life. As we teach young women about the natural world, domestic engineering, arts and crafts, healing therapies, Financial Literacy, and Consumer savvy, we, in fact, expose them to applied careers in STE-A-M (Science, Technology Engineering, Industrial Arts and Mathematics). These young women will learn from STEAM professionals who will serve as mentors/Tutors, and will expose them to careers in Information Technology, computers, biology, and ecology etc..  The success and the future health and wellness of our African Descendant neighborhoods and communities, hedge within the wellness and healthy environment of each of our girls. For it is within the nutrition, knowledge, and cultivation of the minds, body, the spirit of our young girls, and the health and wellness that will disseminate and build the success of future families and communities. We will read about and meet African American Women as positive role models, Tutors, and mentors. We encourage young women to become entrepreneurs in home cottage industries and non-conventional careers in STEAM- Technology, computers, biology, and ecology. Our young girls will learn Plant Identification of herbs and food nutrition. Teaching them to grow their own foods and learn about their own health and wellness. We invite you to join us and support our youth. Feel free to contact us for our women's circles and study groups.

We are African/Indigo people. The oldest people on the planet. Our Ancient Ancestors Traveled the planet to establish civilizations. Our stories were written in stone, in hieroglyphs to be read as an ark of knowledge.

If you would like to volunteer or assist or enroll your young girls between the ages of 7 and 17, and Mentors 18 and up. Please Contact: Queen-Ma Nuta Beqsu: 816-281-7704 or email us: amen.parankh@gmail.com

I am a natural Woman and love It!

REAL SOLUTIONS

*We must Re-Member that we are Divine Souls having a human experience

*We must know that our bodies are the sacred temple of our soul and a vessel for the holy spirit of life. *We are the children of a collective universe, and we have a higher state of divine purpose and consciousness.




*The greatest thing we can do for our bodies is to make them into a Spirit temple and use them to glorify our higher selves.



Using the word “temple” to describe our body as a dwelling, conveys the idea that our bodies are the shrine, or the sacred place, in which the Spirit not only lives, but is revered, and honored. Therefore, we must acknowledge that we have human rights and choices on how we behave, think, speak, eat. What we let into the temple through our eyes and ears becomes critically important as well, for every thought, word and deed we expose our bodies to.

*We must choose to live in inner peace and health.






*As Afrikan Americans, what we put in our mouths is essential. So it is imperative that we practice healthy eating of balanced meals that largely include fresh fruits, vegetables.

*Fresh air and exercise should also be practiced as a discipline of our body temple. living naturally and close to the earth is the healthiest way, far away from a worldly disconnect from nature.
It is also important to practice good hygiene.




Moving as women into virtuous living is a step in the right direction. Creating home cottage businesses, growing our own foods, Learning Arts and Crafts, Home Economics, Life Skills, Basic Business, and fiscal fitness skill are important. Practicing culinary arts and even trying some homemade cosmetics can be fun, positive, and rewarding.

It is important that our young Black Princesses know their value, worth, and purpose and that they have self-esteem, etiquette, and knowledge of their cultural history. We must return our women to be the Queen Mother Goddesses that they truly are before the world and the earth.

I Am Adenike! My Crown IS Precious!

I Am Adenike My Crown is Precious!


This poem is an expression of the meaning of my name Adenike, which means "the Crown is Precious," and my alignment with my Ancient Ancestors, who traveled and establish civilizations all over the planet. We give honor to the Neteru-  Ma, Nu, Tefnut, Maat, Tehuti, Ausar, Auset, Heru, Our Elemental powers, also known as Great Spirit, I Am, YWHW, Obatala, Allah, Mother-Father-Child, We are all composed of stardust. We are Indigo KRST.  We are Children of the light. It is my wish to instill positive self-esteem within our youth, and their appearance in the world. Our hair is our beautiful spiraling crown. The melanin of our skin is a phenomenal covering that is healthy and gorgeous. There is nowhere on this planet, where our Ancient Ancestors have not been. Even right here in the Americas. We were always here before the Caucasian explorers and invaders ever appeared.

As a little girl, my Mom would hot comb my hair for church. l recall, sitting very still in a kitchen highchair, listening to the grease and my hair crackle and pop through the hot comb, and going through the fear of getting burned on my ears or face. I remember her saying , "let me get in this kitchen!" I lived in an integrated environment throughout my childhood, often bullied by caucasian children, who pulled and spat in my hair. Every day I ran home from school to wash my hair. I remembered feeling sorry for myself. I hated myself. Then I remembered one day crying, then wiping away my tears, and just looking in the mirror, and saying to myself, That God made me perfect, just the way I am. I learned to embrace myself... I remember the 70s era and watching many Indigo women wear their hair in Natural Afros, as an expression of Black power. I wore my own natural Afro and refused to ever straighten my hair again. My mother bought me wigs to hide my hair at public events. She wanted me to conform and be accepted by caucasians. Later, As an adult, I wore my hair in lox and embraced my KMT Ancient Afrikan Heritage. Now I teach other Indigo Afrikan Girls about natural living, health, and Wellness, STEAM education, home Economics, Recycling, and Art whenever I can, using the Black Panther food program and Freedom School model, with Amen Ankh Akademy ACE Green STEAM Home School Communiversity, and You G.R.O.W.W. Girls- Teach a Girl, Heal a Nation… "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." i have created a Poem about my hair... Called: "ADENIKE! -My Crown Is Precious!" https://adenike-amenra.pixels.com/featured/adenike-my-crown-is-precious-adenike-amenra.html



I am so impressed with the CROWN Act. Thank You Mayor Q!

The idea of "good hair" In the U.S. society, and nearly everywhere that I traveled with my father, who was an Airforce Tech Sargent, was an alienating concept, both by Caucasians and especially painful by people that looked like me. This discrimination was especially brutal when I looked for employment. I have been told to cut my hair, wear a wig to hide my hair, or straighten it, just to be considered acceptable on the worksite. It wasn’t until 2017 that the U.S. military decreed that braids and locks were acceptable hairstyles. 

It’s because of this type of discrimination and marginalization that we needed the CROWN act, an ordinance that would ban discrimination based on natural hair. 

This is another example of MicroAggression.  The way you look, the color of your skin, being who we are naturally, can bare a penalty.  It’s a way of saying, if you don’t conform to our standards, you aren’t worthy of food, housing, healthcare, or employment. 

Now that I am a Grandmother to two beautiful Indigo children, it is even more important that my children are allowed to flourish as they learn at school and move into Economic development opportunities.  As Black hair is politicized, and Black people continue to pay a price for being who we are, discrimination based on hair will continue to stifle opportunities for Black people.  

It is possible to envision a world that accepts us for who we are, that embraces and includes our culture, that moves beyond the status quo to true inclusion.
