We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Adeele Wells-Ali a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Adeele thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Do you think your parents have had a meaningful impact on you and your journey?
I would receive punishments as a young child about 7 or 8 years of age when my mother would not allow me outside to play with the other children for something I may have done at home or school. I would persistently contest the boredom I was experiencing that I had openly expressed to her and she’d always reply by saying simply, “Go read a book.” After hearing that so many times, I finally decided to take her up on the suggestion as an obedient son to his loving mother. I perhaps received the needed guidance to help me do away with the boredom I faced.
Since my mother was a preschool teacher parenting 4 children with me being the 3rd youngest, our home had a variety of books on the shelves. Reading became my hobby and boredom no longer surfaced nor was a preoccupation. There was something for me to always do by simply opening a book and reading it.
Adeele, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Having been born into a world rife with mass deception and illusion, it was only by God’s grace that the veil was removed and lifted from my visual and auditory senses.
My vision had been blinded, hearing dampened where there once existed traits of suppression and relative hopelessness within my surrounding environment. This was cleared in order to enable one’s psyche to reset and realign itself away from the stark characterization of what was the brazen street gang culture existing within the City of Compton, in southern Los Angeles County, California. A once thriving city stigmatized and would become known notoriously on a global scale and societal landscape becoming both loathed and idolized. Many in pop culture lack knowledge of what the city itself and its constituents represent. A desire to aspire, to live, to thrive.
Being born and raised in Compton exposed me to a reality that I grew to understand was present in every city where “so-called” Black people, a term moreover to define a particular caste and class category, would reside. In many instances facing disenfranchisement and detriment within the throes of struggle, facing structural limitations, restrictions and urban blight most affecting those considered and classified as “black.”
People relegated to an identified group through categorical assignment who were denied their true heritage and cultural origin were left to face an ongoing pattern of systemic constraints and sociological deprivation. These same “black’s” that we’re mostly considered in society today, being the true Americans are those aligned ancestrally to the ancient Moorish Empire who are of Moroccan descent would wind up becoming misled and miseducated by an established socioeconomic construct not of our true origin, heritage or divinely human purpose.
Being myself miseducated as I’ve considered, while not fully under such realization and not properly nor fully grasping the comprehensive knowledge of who I am, I’d become broadly disconnected from God in speech, in action and in thought. The many life trials/tribulations I endured led me to a critical point in my life to know that I’d not know anything being left deficient, insufficient of knowledge and that there is only one reality. The most High God is Allah, and that all else is just a persuasive illusion.
Thinking deeply, my vision becoming increasingly clear, I’d humbled myself in submission to be a vessel for the” Creator of the World’s” and would begin down the narrow road of obedience, character development, dietary changes, along with physical and mental disciplines.
Actively teaching and ministering to lost souls by teaching the word of God became a personal objective to fulfill a mission I had accepted that I was sent to do.
This would come in the form of my founding an organization, “The Embassy of The Moors”, officially in June 2018 with a clear objective purpose to teach people, my people, all those things necessary to make us better members of society as part of our upliftment efforts towards benefiting humanity, that had itself fallen. Most specifically with it happening through directed efforts toward a group segment in society lacking its divine creed and nature being without its true identity and origin as expressed, typified by its free national name. This lack of applying a more proper social distinction and function void of rightful standing comprises what’s considered a great sin which takes us away from our divine and natural selves. This is where we most need to be in order to best achieve our collective goals towards the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness lawfully and socially throughout the world.
As representative and minister of “The Embassy of The Moor’s”, my work is to help guide and provide supreme knowledge to the people clearly so we can all be informed on the knowledge of self, the importance of unity, economic independence, who God (Allah) is, clarifying God’s enemies, specifying, detailing, making assessment of the times we’re in and how we should respond to it and within it. We are most proud of the community work we do for the people and the understanding and comprehension that one gains by taking a step closer to the Great God, robbing the entity identified as “Satan” of a blind follower.
Our teachings have set us apart from others as it’s a teaching of divine and earthly salvation whereas we strive to bring the “Kingdom of God” to here to earth as it is in “Heaven”, and not a teaching where we build Satan’s world blindly on earth praying for a spiritual heaven after we die, which can be considered “Pie in the Sky” thinking and a more captive mentality, one under siege or suppression when our rewards are here within this form, among those opting to be within their natural standing most divine and ready to receive.
We honor all true and divine messengers sent by God making no distinction.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
The lessons I had to unlearn were everything public school taught me about myself and history. We believe that the two most important things that should be learned are the knowledge of self and financial literacy. The back story goes into the very historical fabrics of all most every institution in the United States of America as it is built on the disenfranchisement of Moorish people such as myself. A people without knowledge of their history is like a tree with no roots, Marcus Garvey stated. This is why it was so important to unlearn what I was previously taught in order to come into the knowledge of who I was destined to be.
How do you keep your team’s morale high?
It is important to communicate and share responsibility with your team so everyone can be included and informed. This builds trust and keep ideas fresh. Everyone will feel apart of something greater and enthused to assist.
