A New Afrikan Muslim is a Muslim of Afrikan descent, living in the wilderness of North amerika, who — through the violent processes of colonization, miscegenation, and the transatlantic slave trade — returns to the source against all odds and struggles in the name of God (fisabilillah). This limited collab with futurisme studios commemorates a decade of Hella Black Podcast and represents the spirit of New Afrikan Muslims engaged in the work of Black liberation and the liberation of humanity. It also features a custom patch with two of the 99 names of Allah: Ash-Shakur and Al-Muntaqim. Because the names of Allah SWT appear on it, if you purchase a shirt, be sure to treat it with respect. Only 100 made. Available one night only tonight at the La Peña Cultural Center for our 10-year @hellablackpod anniversary show!

Alhamdulilah we will be welcoming Jalil Muntaqim back to Oakland yet again. Jalil wrote We Are Our Own Liberators from behind bars, and it’s the main ideological text that guides our work of building programs for decolonization. Come build with us as we work to free the land!

Black history month has been co-opted with an integrationist agenda. It’s important we center the Black Radical Tradition - while simultaneously moving towards New Afrikan Independence.

The BSU at Berkeley High joined us for our free breakfast program. It was a dope moment, as we had a film screening of “Tales of The Town” and a discussion at one of their BSU meetings, and a couple of months later, they joined us in the field! Free the land!
