Queen Afua presents City of Wellness

Yesterday Guerrilla Republik journeyed with The City of Wellness at the National Black Theater in Harlem where they celebrated the Spring Equinox. At this Shut-In people from all regions join for a day of fasting and detoxing as they brought in the new year.

Members of Guerrilla Republik included Iz The Truth Captain of the Delaware Chapter, and TRIG Captain of the New York chapter along with photographer Jenny B and yours truly.-

" We got to see that Hip-Hop is not just music, it's a healing, through all elements."
With a theater full of people, members of The City of Wellness warned about the dangers of some foods, and spread the message of healing. As numbers of Artists, scholars, and authors graced the stage, they inspired and encouraged people to be a part of the growing movement that is saving, and jump starting people's lives.

Guerrilla Republik was noticed at this powerful event for its consistent support, and genuine will to heal as an organization and as individuals. Since Septemer of last year Guerrilla Republik along with World Music inc, have teamed up to spread the teachings of Queen Afua, who is the founder of The City Wellness. These two well known organizations who both promote self sufficiency, and advocate for innercity people, have now partnered in becoming a part of this international movement.

After the power charged shut-in, these three powerful organizations discussed future events including plans for a private retreat, and video shooting for Supa Nova Slom who is also part of the hip-hop movement.

As they are an entity in the community, Guerrilla Republik looks forward to being a vessel for healing, and continues to learn and grow with Queen Afua and the City of Wellness.

Honorable Mention to our extended family: The New Black Panther Party, Lynx, Momma Jenny (World Music Inc.), and Angie (Massage Therapist).
