i earned my Ghetto Pass in the 17th century (That’s the 1600’s y’all)when Cuffe Slocum BOUGHT his Freedom and became John Cuffee, refusing to carry ANY FURTHER the SLAVE NAME Slocum , and instead resurrected the Akan tribal name Koffi.I am the descendant of PAUL CUFFEE, Ship Captain, Shipbuilder,The First Pan Africanist and inspiration to Marcus Mosiah Garvey. He was the first Black Millionaire in Amerikkka and my namesake. KNOW YOUR HISTORY, For Real. Born in the year of the Tigre with both feet and MY SOUL planted DEEPLY in THE ABORIGINAL WORLD. The Son of Natives, of Two Continents. Raised in the belly of the beast. Fed with the love of God. Trained and tempered by Joy and Pain. Alive, Free and Curious. Always willing to Learn, Always willing to FORGIVE, Always willing to LOVE.
MAY ALL BEINGS BE FREE FROM SUFFERING
