This one is interesting to me…
I say in this interview that I had gone off of my meds when I had my horrific mental breakdown in 2013. I have not remembered it that way, but it makes sense:
Today’s video share:
Robert Ricciardellii interviewed me way back around a decade ago. To this day, it’s probably the number one best interview I’ve done. This is part one:
When I run across what I view as important videos from time to time
I share. I hope you don’t mind.
So how is it that Tony Iyke gets two beautiful women on his arm?
Only thing I’ve got is that it’s his 40th birthday. Next year, not happening buddy..
Happy birthday, Tony.

“Yesterday was an epic day with exhilarating experience. I walked into a wherehouse with so much History of African art from all over the Continent of Africa. Dave Dahl started collecting these amazing selections when he was transitioning from his Business back then called Dave’s Killer Bread
What an incredible to meet such a down to earth person with a big heart. His Business Discover African Art will be donating a few pieces to Firmina Foundation and loan us a few pieces to decorate the venue.
I told Dave that this will be a great venue for a Future International African Fashion Show & Gala
Thank you Lynn Hauss for this beautiful introduction “

A Kuba Bwoom helmet mask from Democratic Republic of Congo. Thanks To Tim Sugden for the photography.
Some people love the colorful, “evergreen”, types like these. I prefer those that have lost their color. Color in the old days wasn’t paint but rather some natural pigment, and the result is that by now, that pigment is mostly gone.
“Kuba mythology revolves around three figures, each represented by a masquerade character: Woot, the creator and founder of the ruling dynasty; Woot’s spouse; and Bwoom. Bwoom’s specific identity varies according to different versions of the myth. He may represent the king’s younger brother, a person of Twa descent, or a commoner. Embodying a subversive force within the royal court, the Bwoom masquerade is often performed in conflict with the masked figure representing Woot.”
