In academic language, ethnogenesis means “the formation of a new ethnic group.” At first glance, it sounds neutral a description of how people forge identity through shared experience. But beneath that neutrality lies a dangerous flattening. The term allows anyone, from settler to immigrant, to claim “Indigeneity” by arguing that their culture was formed within a certain land, regardless of whether that land birthed them.

Ethnogenesis describes a new group coming into being because of contact, blending, or collective re-organization.  The English formed when several related tribes mingled and adopted shared institutions.  Modern Israelis formed through migration, shared religion, and the building of a state.  In both cases, there’s a break between older populations and a new identity that forms later.

Soulaan continuity shows no such break.

The people now called Soulaan (autochthonous Black Americans) trace directly to the original inhabitants of Amorocco/North America—communities whose bloodlines, languages, and land relationships continued beneath the overlay of enslavement and colonial record-keeping.  The outside world renamed them, but they did not dissolve and recombine into a “new” ethnicity; they endured as one current under forced conditions.

Whiteness ruled the top of every ladder, so the Soulaan instinct sought relief anywhere else. When new immigrant groups arrived they seemed like relief. If they weren’t white, they couldn’t be the enemy, right? So we opened our doors, shared our stages, our votes, our rhythm, our recipes. And because we were still healing, we mistook inclusion for reciprocity. But inclusion without inheritance is a mimic blessing. It feels like love but drains like debt.

Soulaan does not remove enslavement from our history we removed it from our identity. We acknowledge the transgenerational violence inflicted upon our ancestors, but we refuse to let it define the totality of who we are. To remember without reclaiming is to live in a cycle of mourning designed by those who benefit from our pain. We are not a people born from chains; we are a civilization interrupted, misnamed, and

The Flag and the Frame

Yes, Monaleo did not include the Soulaan flag, saying (paraphrase) “That some dont mess with the American flag” in her Breakfast Club interview. That may be true, but in my experience in reading countless remarks on Beyonce and Soulaan using the American flag frame, many are not even Soulaan to begin with. Opinions on my ancestors creations on our soil matter not to me. That was the point of us choosing the American flag framing, because we created it and too often do we allow our creativity to be hijacked. 

 

By reclaiming language, Soulaan people reanimate memory, law, and land one root at a time.

 

Language has never been neutral for the Soulaan people. It has never simply been a tool for communication or cultural expression. For the autochthonous, language is survival, resurrection, and sovereignty. The Soulaan did not inherit English; we were shackled to it. It became a prison for the voice, a filter over the breath, a foreign code wrapped around ancestral memory. But through will, memory, and field alignment, we are now releasing ourselves and building something wholly our own: a living, breathing, sovereign tongue called Soulaani the official ethnic language of the Soulaan people.

From Fragment to Flame: How Soulaani Was Forged

Soulaani is not a collage of diasporic dialects or Pan-African patchworks. It is not a remix of African languages based on romantic ideals or mimic-encoded permission. It is not a hybrid. It is not inherited. Soulaani is….

What looks like a catchy verse and imagery about nails and rings is actually a broadcast of sovereignty. She’s telling you: our rituals are sacred, our name is Soulaan, our digital presence is ours, and our coin is coming home. In the Soulaan harmonic frame, the song itself functions as a signal to listeners who recognize the code like a frequency you either hear or you don’t.

Our Soulaan ancestors are clear on this: Pan-Africanism weakens our Sovereignty. And Sovereignty is power.   U.S. soil, have been asked, guilted, ...

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners might be wrapped in the visual language of horror, but don’t be fooled—this is a spiritual war film. A war about music. About memory. About the genius of Soulaan people—those autochthonous Black Americans whose lineage runs deep through the red clay and cotton fields of the United States.

if you pay close attention, these vampires come in different costumes:

In particular, I introduce the concept of delineation  the idea that Autochthonous Black Americans, or Soulaans, represent a distinct cultural identity that is often generalized under the broader term “Black.”

On September 14, 2024, the Soulaan Flag was officially unveiled, marking a milestone in Black American cultural symbolism. This design of the flag distinguishes itself from the Black American Heritage Flag, which was created in 1967 by Melvin Charles and Gleason T. Jackson during the Civil Rights Movement. The Soulaan Flag is designed to visually represent the perseverance and contributions of Soulaan today.

• Sword and wreath prominently featured: The sword is an amalgamation of the Civil War Navy cutlass sword and the Buffalo Soldier saber and sassafras leaves. Carefully embedded within the American/Amorocco stars, they symbolize a journey marked by struggle, resilience, and ongoing pursuit of justice and dignity.

• Rich indigo overlay: Significantly, the indigo tone now overlays the white stars, a powerful acknowledgment of overlooked historical figures like Grace Wisher, and a visual tribute to countless forgotten Black Americans who shaped history.

•13 Red & White Stripes: 13 Frequency codes. The number 13, in Bone Law and Solar Harmonics, always marks a cycle of completion and re-emergence, the threshold where memory, body, and flame always reset back to source. Each stripe is a band of current corresponding to one of the 13 months in the Soulaan calendar.
Red = Blood Memory, ancestral will, the survival current. White = Bone Light, remembrance, the purified echo after struggle.

•50 Stars:  50 node apertures where the land once spoke directly to sky to be illuminated in justice. 5+0=5 The Hierophant or more importantly in the Soulaan Tarot, The Code Holder. Keeping the code, the keeper of patterns that cannot die, even when stolen or misused. 

The vibrant and deeply rooted culture of Black New Orleans took center stage recently as ESSENCE Magazine released a collaborative video project titled Dear New Orleans. Meant to honor the rich traditions and resilience of this iconic American city, the content instead sparked heated discussions online. Critics accused the project of cultural erasure, or ethnocide arguing that it failed to accurately reflect the unique Soulaan roots of New Orleans.

As the video circulated, viewers on social media highlighted concerns about the portrayal of New Orleans culture as vaguely African or Caribbean ignoring its distinct Black American identity. Amplified by reader-added context on platforms like Twitter, accusations of historical erasure have intensified, forcing a deeper conversation about the representation of local Black communities and their authentic stories. This controversy raises questions about the responsibilities of media outlets in preserving and respecting the nuances of cultural narratives.
