The Adventures of Hotep
Hotep means peace in the ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) language. Hoteps Adventures are to spread peace from the ancient times to the present. Throughout time Hotep has spoken to the youth. "They see me" says "Hotep." "In search of MAAT, (meaning truth, righteousness and justice) I found #Familyhood" says, Hotep.
There are no government lines. One world, one people!
#Familyhood is a global vision of schools being connected to each other through the school's #Familyhood.
#Familyhood is driven by two motto's. Friends of school motto- which states: 1) Every school shall have a functioning Student Government Association, Parent Teacher Association and Alumni Association. 2) Every school shall have a garden, a farmers market and a grocery store. Basically, the school's Familyhood plans/operates their school garden, their farmers market and their grocery store.
1st Saturdays, representing the first Saturday of every month, is the "do no" strategy to get Familyhood started at schools. Schools sign up at 1stSaturdays.com
#Familyhood, in short, is the school's Student Government Association (SGA) , Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and Alumni Association (AA).
Real short is SGA +PTA + AA = #Familyhood. The school's Familyhood
Hotep at the Mo' Better Food Market

The Front yard at McClymonds High School
I moved to Oakland, Ca and taught at Castlemont High school. While at Castlemont, a student returned to visit and was feeding her child candy. I asked, why are you feeding that baby candy? Her response, "where can I find fruit in this community Mr. Roach? A year or two later, we kicked off the Mo' Better Food farmers market at McClymonds High School. I directed the Business Academy at McClymonds. I shared with my students news of the Pigsford vrs U.S.D.A. Class action lawsuit, which outlined discrimination Black farmers were receiving from the United States Department of Agriculture. We decided to start a farmers market at McClynmonds. Thge market was run by my students. Hotep was the mascot for The Mo' Better Food Market at McClymonds high school.

Congresswomen Barbara Lee recognizes Mo' Better Food
As we were planning the 1st Black Farmers Conference/ Celebration, one of Barbara Lee's staff members hand delivered this Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition. We were truly honored to be recognized by the only Congress person to say "no to war".
Hotep and the Hungry DJ Posse
After a little wear in tear, the banner started losing some of Hotep's good looks! Regardless, I had a lot of vinyl and chess pieces to move, while the people shopped supporting African- American farmers. Brother Yafeu Tyhimba and myself dj'ed. Together, we called ourselves, "The Hungry Dj Posse. "

The Two Motto's of Familyhood are: 1) Friends of School and 2) Mo' Better Food
1) Friends of School states - "Every school shall have a functioning Student Government Association, Parent Teacher Association and Alum Association." 2) Mo' Better Food states - "every school shall have a garden, a farmers market and a grocery store."
In short, as the school grows in membership (meaning Students are joining their Student Government Association, Parents are joining the Parent Teacher Association and Alum are joining their Alumni Association), the school grows in capacity to operate a school - beased grocery store.
