Bikbaye Inejnema is a teacher of Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) knowledge, cultural activist, healer, spoken word artist, writer, producer, director and recording artist from Chicago. In 1998, Bikbaye’s destiny led him to cross paths with a Dogon /Kemetic high priest from Burkina Faso, Neb Naba, who was sent to America by his elders to share the sacred mystery school knowledge of the Nile & Niger Valley Civilizations. Bikbaye became his first apprentice and eldest student in the U.S.

Upon completing 6 of 10 years of initiation and receiving the ancient teachings, Bikbaye was sent to establish traditional schools in several U.S. states to continue the initiatic education of Ancient Tamerri/Kemet (Africa). Bikbaye has taught & lectured nationally and abroad. He is the founder of the Conscious Youth Global Movement (CYGM).

From Cultural Humility to Cultural Acceptance [course]

From Cultural Humility to Cultural Acceptance

(Evolution & Understanding)

 

Note: This “official” CYGM course will soon be developed for all to utilize.

 

This course is designed to address the way we view culture, and how our perspectives impact our thoughts and behaviors within and/or towards individuals who represent culturally diverse communities, knowingly or unknowingly. It is through honest self-reflection and self-critique that we can understand the impact our environments have/had on shaping the lens we use to see the world. The logic for such an approach is, once an individual can recognize the “why” of his/her own thoughts and behaviors, he/she may also be able to identify with the “why” of the thoughts and behaviors of others. This can potentially lead to the removal of invisible/implicit barriers that exist between and among cultures, and the restoration of best practices within all areas of social services.

 

“If the practice of Cultural Humility can contribute to an individual developing a deeper understanding of the world he/she can see, then the practice of Cultural Acceptance can contribute to the same individual seeing a world that he/she deeply understands.” –Bikbaye  

 

Training Objectives:

*To understand how our personal and professional goals guide our behaviors

*To understand and define Culture – micro to macro

Part 3… Checkin In Behind the Scenes!

We are “Checkin In” with more behind the scenes footage of the making of the video. In this clip, our co-director Estela Lopez-Spears give our youth dancers encouragement, positive feedback and critique. It should be noted, that it was not in the plans for Estela to co-direct this video, but after seeing how she naturally connected with the youth (and vice versa) during the entire shoot, without being asked, we were proud to give her the credit that was due for her contribution!
