  1. Love the fact that you've applied our ancestral sciences, especially pertaining to mathematics, and developed a course curriculum to teach it to the diaspora.

    This is way beyond words or just giving voice to a solution; you're actually following through with action!

    This is the initiative our people need to take to get out of the morass of white supremacist induced apathy and stagnation.

    Kudos once more Prof. A.C.E...and MORE POWER TO YOU!

    KEM WESIR AND MA'AT HOTEP!
