They were Hebrew, Not Just Africans

-

For most of my life, I was taught that the Transatlantic Slave Trade was simply Africans selling other Africans into slavery. But as I’ve dug deeper into suppressed history, ancient maps, and the Word itself, I’ve come to believe something radically different:


The people taken from West Africa weren’t just Africans. They were Hebrews.


Not all Africans are the same. And those who were ripped from their homeland, chained, and shipped across oceans were not the indigenous Hamitic people who remained—they were descendants of the ancient Israelites. The true Hebrews. The lost tribes. And this wasn’t just a tragedy—it was prophecy fulfilled.



The Forgotten Kingdom of Judah in West Africa


One of the most telling clues lies in a map—a European map from the 1700s labeled “Negroland.” Near what we now call Ghana, Benin, and Nigeria, right along the so-called "Slave Coast," sits a striking label: “The Kingdom of Judah.”


Let that sink in.


A region known as the Kingdom of Judah, sitting right in the hotspot of the slave trade, centuries before modern scholars even began to talk about Black Hebrews. This wasn’t a myth. It was on official maps. And the people who lived there had customs—Sabbaths, circumcision, dietary laws, purification rites—that mirror Old Testament practices.


We’ve been told these cultural overlaps are coincidence. But coincidence doesn’t name entire kingdoms. Coincidence doesn’t explain why these people were targeted so specifically.



Who Were These People?


The Ashanti. The Yoruba. The Igbo. The Ewe. These nations have oral traditions that stretch back to Israel. Their customs are Hebrew in nature—naming children on the eighth day, separation during menstruation, laws of inheritance that mirror Leviticus.


They weren’t just spiritually inclined. They were descendants of covenant.


As the curses in Deuteronomy 28 said: "You will be taken into Egypt again with ships... and there you shall be sold to your enemies as male and female slaves." Not metaphor. Not poetry. Prophecy.



Africa Didn’t Sell Its Own — It Sold Hebrews


This is the part that hurts, but it’s where the lie crumbles.


Africans didn’t sell other Africans. They sold Hebrews.


The continent’s indigenous peoples—the Hamites—were not selling their cousins. They were selling a separate people with different customs, different worship, different origins. The Hebrews had been scattered across Africa after the Assyrian and Roman captivities. They lived in exile among other nations. And when the European slave traders came knocking, it was those same Hebrews who were sold off.


The Hamites protected their own. But the Hebrews? They were already seen as outsiders. Already under judgment. Already marked.



Yahusha and the African Connection


Even Yahusha—called Jesus by the world—has deep African roots. He fled to Egypt. He likely passed through Ethiopia. And Isaiah 19:25 even calls Egypt “My people.” The Most High did not accidentally place His chosen people in the cradle of African civilization.


The Hebrews were Black. Yahusha was melanated. The Kingdom of Judah was never in Europe.



Final Thoughts: From Judah to Jamestown


The slaves brought to the Americas weren’t random tribes. They were sons and daughters of Zion, Judah, Benjamin, Levi, and more. They didn’t just lose their homeland—they lost their identity. And now, the awakening has begun.


They were not just Africans.


They were Hebrews.

To She Who Carries The World

She holds the world in her hands and still manages to lift everyone else around her. This is for the Black woman—the cornerstone, the nurturer, the fighter, the healer. The one who has been overlooked, underestimated, oversexualized, and overworked. The one who has been the backbone of families, movements, nations, and faith, yet rarely receives her due. You are not an accessory to the story. You are the story. Bone of Royal Bone From Eve to Sarah, from Miriam to Ruth, from Queen Nzinga to Harriet Tubman to your grandmother—the Black woman has always been central. Whether she was giving birth to nations or tearing down strongholds, she has carried the sacred with grace. She is more than strength. She is wisdom, softness, creativity, and resilience all braided together. She is made from royal dust, kissed by the sun, and blessed with the ability to birth generations while breaking chains. She is not a trend. She is the blueprint. Strong, But Not Invincible The world loves to...

The Real Egyptians: Black Kings, Biblical Ties, and the Whitewashing of Kemet

-

"History is written by the conquerors—but the truth is etched into the bones of the land.” For centuries, the image of ancient Egypt has been hijacked, whitewashed, and distorted. What was once an African powerhouse—a cradle of Black brilliance—has been repackaged as a land of tanned Europeans in linen skirts. But facts don’t care about colonial comfort zones. Egypt, or Kemet, was a Black civilization, and the Bible backs it up. Let’s peel back the lies and reclaim the truth. Kemet: Land of the Black First off, the name "Kemet" literally translates to "Black Land." Scholars argue whether this refers to the rich, dark soil of the Nile Valley or the people themselves—but both make sense, and both are African. Evidence of Black African origins: Egypt is in Africa. Northern Africa, yes—but still Africa. Greek eyewitnesses: Herodotus (5th century BCE) described Egyptians as having “dark skin and woolly hair.” Art and Statues: The earliest depictions of...

Was Yahusha Born in Ethiopia? Uncovering the Truth They Tried to Bury

-

There’s a theory—often whispered, rarely spotlighted—that Yahusha (known to most of the world as Jesus) wasn’t born in Bethlehem of Judea, but in a cave in Ethiopia. Sounds wild, right? But like most things in history, when you start peeling back the layers, you begin to see that what we were taught might just be a carefully curated remix, courtesy of the Roman Empire. Let’s talk about it. The Africa Factor: More Than a Footnote Before anything else, let’s get one thing straight: Ethiopia is one of the oldest, most spiritually rich regions in the world. It wasn’t just a neighbor to ancient Israel—it was part of the conversation. The Bible constantly references Ethiopia (Cush), and we see powerful figures like the Queen of Sheba, Moses’s Ethiopian wife, and the Ethiopian eunuch who converted to the faith in the Book of Acts. Ethiopia also housed one of the earliest Christian communities on earth—long before Rome ever threw a cross on a building. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahe...
