AKUMA DAN is a process designed to show:

The nature of domestic abuse in the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African~Black) community as a new form of enslavement

The perpetuation and conditioned acceptance of various forms of domestic abuse including physical, sexual, verbal, spiritual/psychological, cultural, etc. as the promotion of intramural warfare within the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) community

The identity of the pseudo-conscious, pseudo-spiritual, pseudo-cultural perpetrator of domestic abuse as a true enemy of all Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans)

The pathway to domestic abuse neutralization utilizing tools inherent within our Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) Ancestral Culture


AKUMA (ah-koo'-mah) means axe in the Twi language of the Akan of West Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa). The Akuma is represented in the adinkra symbolism of Akan culture and associated with the following ebe (proverb):

There is no tree that cannot be cut down with an axe.
AKUMA shows us that there is no problem that we, Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans~Black People), cannot solve. It matters not how large an obstacle appears to be, we have the capacity to remove it. We have the capacity to cut down anything that stands in the way of our proper growth, development and security.

DAN (dahng) means Dwelling place in the language of ancient Keneset and Kamit (ancient Nubia and Egypt) as well as Twi. DAN also means to cut into pieces, to split, to attack, destroy in Keneset and Kamit and to change in Twi.


Domestic abuse is a great obstacle to the proper growth, development and internal security of Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans). AKUMA DAN embodies the reality that our dwelling places should only be sanctuaries of productive relationships. If abuse is committed within your domestic relationships, the violator is the enemy who deserves to suffer and is also one from whom you must split. You must utilize your Dan, your spirit's capacity in the form of Akuma, the axe, to fully defend yourself and to also cut/sever the relationship, in order to remove this obstacle. In this manner you change your circumstances and clear the way to your highest aspirations.

For those Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) are presently suffering under the weight of domestic abuse and/or have in the past, we work to assist them in achieving its neutralization. For those Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) who have never suffered from nor perpetuated domestic abuse we work to strengthen them and assist them in strengthening others.
