The political tennis match between Democrats and Republicans over Special education thus IDEA. Since its passing in the early 1970’s IDEA has never been fully funded and that means it has never been fully implemented! Now the destroyer chief is doing what he does best and that is destroy this time around Special Education. The two party system sucks!
On April 7th/2025 on Instagram I asked this question
Are there Pan African Disability Organizations in the United States? I know of Pan African Disability Organizations in African countries R.I.P. Joshua Malinga who helped start Pan African Federation of the Disabled in Zimbabwe, Africa!
Today May 31st/2025 just got back from Dakar, Senegal and Cape Town, South Africa and I can say although Disability Studies programs are popping up in the West and in Africa, outside of academia and off line there is still a lack of organizations connecting African Americans with disabilities to Africans with disabilities on the African continent. If I’m wrong, please let me know.
Next year the plan is to go to Zimbabwe to visit and work with our new Krip-Hop chapter with Tinotenda Mudarikwa and I hope to meet Tsitsi Chataika, who is a professor in inclusive education and disability inclusion, she has been teaching at the University of Zimbabwe. But now, she is CBM Global Disability Inclusion as the Disability Inclusion Advisor and also I want to study the work of the late Joshua T. Malinga who was the Secretary General of I the Pan-Africa Federation of the Disabled (PAFOD) in Zimbabwe, Africa. I’ll be interviewing Tsitsi Chataika soon.

For the last three to six years Krip-Hop Nation aka Leroy’s SSI checks have been supporting Krip-Hop chapters in Africa and Europe from Germany chapter’s double CD to purchasing a piece of land in Tanzania to our upcoming UCLA event in October/24 bringing together four Krip-Hop chapters (Germany,Tanzania, South Africa and Zimbabwe). All of this and so much more has happened with little financial support but a whole lot of dedication from our community and Uncle Sam’s SSI checks! More details on our October event soon! I have to say we’re privileged in the US to get a monthly SSI check because certain countries especially in Africa people with disabilities don’t get that so for the last six years I’ve been spreading Uncle Sam’s $$ throughout the world.
Peace
Stay tuned
Much love to our community,

I still don’t understand why our oppressors get to go home and live a peaceful life especially cops! I never understood why we can’t bring the same terror that they lay on us to their front door!

Non-profits is like chasing our tails. I did it for ten years aka tap dancing for grant $$$ and still today in 2026 very little has change for people of color with disabilities! I still don’t know the answer but I know on the large scale the non-profit system especially in the White dominate control disability service/rights non-profit system is not working knowing that almost 90+ grants goes to them….. it makes no sense!

Where and what is Black Disability Politics beyond the book by Sami Schalk that i disagree on but the bigger question is where can we see Black Disability Politics is it online or is it in our community or is it in our textbooks? Do we even have the concept of Black Disability Politics especially today with right wing governments around the world taking over and being supported by Trump? How does Black Disability Politics grow and where is it in the African diaspora and is it on TV? These questions have to be answered and we as Black disabled people need to be more connected but to this work we need to come home and heal this open wound called Black ableism.

Today I am so frustrated with my Black community worldwide because it seems like my community refuses to do the work of decolonization of their lives and their mindset around disability even though Krip-Hop Nation has been doing the work for twenty five years. It’s hard to see Black activists and musicians from the US to Africa still using the outdated mindset of disability and many have foundations that supposedly to help people with disability but how can you do that when you’re mindset is outdated and you see people that you are trying to serve as a charity case. What makes the above so painful is that these individuals and their foundations take up so much space and time and money that the rest real work and groups like Krip-Hop almost never get the attention and support and funding to change that horrible mindset especially in our Black community here in the United States and in the African Diaspora! All that Krip-Hop Nation can do is keep doing our work. It’s funny that Krip-Hop just had a wonderful international meeting but seven hours later I can witness how our work is so small compared to people who have the microphone but not the right mindset and some refuse our education because it would mean changing how they think and do their work but now I know that the system wants it that way! It’s just hard to realize all of this and continue to keep doing the work!
Another day
