Ras Flako Tafari
Ras Flako Tafari is a Rastafari author, publisher, cultural archivist, and lifelong student of the Ancients. Through decades of writing, recording, and preserving testimony, he has worked to keep the knowledge, history, and lived experience of Rastafari accessible to present and future generations.
His work brings together the voices of elders and community witnesses alongside teachings, history, poetry, storytelling, newsletters, music, and film. His wider community work includes the Word Sound Power Collective, Dread Resilience Housing, and Roots Food Sovereignty, extending this mission through cultural preservation, education, and creative expression. Guided by the belief that knowledge must be shared, he has used Wisemind Publications to help the wisdom of those who came before reach the youth who will carry it forward.
Wisemind Publications is the online library of that life’s work—a place to explore the books, testimony, periodicals, recordings, and cultural records – a space to gather in the service of knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and the advancement of Rastafari traditions and culture.
