Besouro (The Assailant in the U.S.) [Moviespora]
Saw this epic film at the L.A. Pan-African Film Festival some years ago when it was in Culver City Been sharing it ever since. Enjoy!
Three Es, Empowerment & Enjoymet\” #DrClarneSayings #DrDDClayborne #Afrispora #AfrisporaMindstateouro [The Assailant in the U.S.]
Why not Beetle of The Beetle? I always was and still am perplexed by the Drastic difference in name. It may be nothing YET a Connective Pan-Afrik/can (Pan-Human) artistic, socio-cultural and even geopolitical expression is not Fully Exploited in beneficial ways and manners as it should be.
In my view a truly Missed Opportunity of demonstrating what I refer to as “The Three Es”! = “Enlightenment, Empowerment & Enjoyment” #DrClarneSayings #DrDDClayborne #Afrispora #AfrisporaMindstate
Thanks for this documentary my Triton, my brotherĀ Takeo Wong!

I love my friends!
One of my MOSST MEANINGFUL favorite Life Anthems.
Since, BUT Only for, this Post-Stroke Rehab period, AFRISPORA has turned into only a blog/vlog.
Appreciate my real world and online folks that have ‘Held Me Down’ as I probably me first heard Q-Tip say in a verse. It radiated a MEANING then almost 30 years ago.
It is easy yet hard to explain but should one have to…? As Jalen Rose puts it, “It’s ‘Cultural!’ Yup, I agree bruh.
