Bailey meets her cousins Gigi and Butterbean during our stay in #NewOrleans I made a voiceover walking y'all thru the videos but then I edited something and it didn't line up and I'm not doing it over. So feel free to make your own commentary. Needless to say Bailey eventually ended up in backpack jail. #typical. @baileynthekitty #familytime @wildseed13 #GigiandButterbean

On October 3, 2025, I had the honor of presiding over my beautiful cousin Set’s elderhood rite of passage ceremony alongside her elder council. It was a monumental occasion marking her 50th birthday. @wildseed13 The months leading up to this beautiful celebration were filled with love and sisterhood. I am forever thankful to the council for their participation and for showing up when and where needed. I give thanks to my cousin for her love and trust in me during this process. she completed each assignment with grace and intention, and I am so proud of her. Our Mamas are smiling down on us. I asked my sister and Set’s younger cousin @actsofliberation to write a message about Set, rites and why they are necessary. You hear me reading some of it in this video.

In African culture, there’s a vital distinction between being “older” and being an elder. An older person has lived longer. But an elder is someone who has lived purposefully. And there is no higher honor than a life of purpose. Set has lived a life of purpose, not just for herself, but for others. She has poured into us, spoken truth when it was needed, and stood firm when it would’ve been easier to fold. An elder holds the traditions, the memory, the lived wisdom of the people. She becomes a mirror for the past and a guide for the future. Elders are revered alongside newborns, because they stand at the threshold closest to the spirit world from which we come, and to which we return. Set now carries our stories, our struggles, our joy and reflects them back with clarity, with care, and with conviction. A seed, now in full bloom yet still growing, and in true elder fashion returning to nourish the soil she sprang from so that others may also bloom.” Dr. Asantewa Sunni-Ali 🎥: @marreroproduction

39 year old Set. In three days I’ll turn 50yrs and I want to thank the woman in this picture. I want to acknowledge an honor, her strength and courage . She didn’t know she had it at the time. She didn’t know that she would be able to survive the loss of both of her parents and almost every elder that had once held her and protected her and made her feel safe. She didn’t know that she would have to teach herself how to breathe again speak again walk against the wind again she didn’t know that she could survive that she would survive but she did not only that she survived she thrive. She continued to share with others the lessons that her elders taught her she continued to spread the love that her family instilled in her. She continue to smile and give hugs and offer gentle ear for those who need it she would be able to guide her children into adulthood without the people who guided her. She held onto her beauty, the beautiful parts of her that had been in danger in her younger years she protected her inner child, she grew to be a beautiful example to the little girl she was when she was five to the scared teenager. She was at 14 to the honorary 20-year-old. today she smiles she’s soft and she’s tender and I’m proud of her for making it proud of her and all who look like her and all who has walked the roads that she has and experience the pains that she has I’m proud of us for surviving and for soaring🌻✊🏾🌻 iMessage to all is to protect the beautiful you that thing that makes you different believe in believing your inner strength it’s what gets you over mountains 🌻

Our last hero has gained her wings. No worries can explain, but this moment means to me. I don’t remember life before fighting for her freedom and protection. Frree Assata Shakur was the mantra and mission of the Shakur family. My heart and hugs are with all of my cousins scattered in the world wind🌻✊🏾🌻 this is a statement from her her daughter At approximately 1:15 PM on September 25th, my mother, Assata Shakur, took her last earthly breath. Words cannot describe the depth of loss that I am feeling at this time. I want to thank you for your loving prayers that continue to anchor me in the strength that I need in this moment. My spirit is overflowing in unison with all of you who are grieving with me at this time. Sending much love and appreciation to you all, Kakuya Shakur
