Bongo Rocky has made the great transition some time ago, but Mama Babyi his Queen, and a shemale Rastafari Elder, is still living in Shashamane, Ethiopia, and is still taking care of the Vineyard of consciousness, which they have planted and nourished together, over a period on so many years together. They started their Vineyard together, in the Valley of Abaca, and have nourished it through many storms and great tribulations, until the great wheels of life turned in a manner, which placed them in the land of their fore-parents, Shashamane Ethiopia.

I met Mama Babyi in the Valley of Abaca (Back O
Wall) between late 1959 and early 1960, when she was paying frequent visits to see sister Nellie, her own sister, who had concieved three children for Ras Peter the great( Big Vic) one male child whose name was Niemia who have passed away, and two shemale children, Judith and Sarah who are still alive as far as I am aware. Bongo Rocky was a prominent Iyagel in our Little Black House of King David, and their spirit made that connection as she visited from time to time.

So, Mama Babyi, has been around in the struggle, from the early days, and she is very qualified to teach and share any information, about Rastafari people and their struggle, considering that she was also, standing and walking and talking with Bongo Rocky over this long period of time. I think that she is worthy of respect and to be cared for, and she should be asked her opinion, concerning what she would like to be done, now that Bongo Rocky is past and she is living alone. She should be asked what is her own wishes, and we should respect her wishes and fulfill them if we can.

She is a woman of few words, except if she is disrespected, but she is now full of age and is entitled to be treated as a shemale Rastafari elder, since that is what she is. It is important that her situation be investigated by African people everywhere, and a proper decision be made and be fulfilled concerning her good and welfare. The life with her and Bongo Rocky is a great historic Iyasperience, and should be used to teach the following generation, as we used to say, from a dunghill to a palace, but now we say from Abaca to Shashamane Ethiopia.

Mama Babyi, is also an Elder with many oceans of self determination, considering that she was asked by a Iyagel, if she would like to take a trip an a visit to Jamaica since Bongo Rocky has passed, and she told him that she is already at home, and therefore she will never leave her home land again. Bongo Rocky was just the same way, no one could have invited him to return to the western hemisphere, he would just have a big laugh first, and then just tell them no, no, no. So, they were two people who were convinced that they are African people, and they would not become ahy other people upon the face of this earth. Let their great life be a lesson to us all as well as the following generation. Take the best care of your people.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere
ONE BLACK HEART ONE BLACK LOVE.
