    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. 

     

  • The Soulaan Flag: Honoring Heritage and Inspiring the Future

    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.
