ABiA (ABiA -- AH bee ah) is an acronym that represents "Afrikans Born in America". It is sometimes thought of as a backronym, although that is inaccurate, as the acronym was formed absent of any prior knowledge of the word, prior usage, or its definition.
Today, for those who adopt its use, it is as much an actual (though mysterious) physical and geographic place as it is a duty and sensibility. It is a place built on the profound responsibility to SELF-Determine, SELF-Define, SELF-Defend, and SELF-Actualize the vital, vibrant, abundant, prosperous, and productive Family, Community, Nation that best serves our personal and collective interests as ABiAn Peoples of ABiA Nation.
"From the granular to the aggregate, we live and breathe our incessant belief that WE are the ones we've been waiting for." -- Fumotukufu I
ABiA, in its use primarily in the United States of America, also simultaneously carries the more widely known meaning of "Greatness," even in its use as an acronym. It is also the root for the endonym of the people of ABiA Nation i.e., "ABiAN Peoples." It may also be used as an exclamatory rallying cry to battle, to arms, to win, or to succeed. As used in the Black Panther movie by Winston Duke in his portrayal of M'Baku during the pitched battle.

LiVeration™ (noun) | lǐ'-vər-ā-shən
A continuous process of personal & collective transformation, LiVeration™, with its capitalized "V" representing "Victory," is a core principle of ABiA™ Nation. Its practice goes far beyond traditional liberation. It is not simply about breaking free from external control it’s about actively shaping a
reality where individuals & communities thrive. It rejects the idea of revolution as a reaction to oppression & instead embraces an evolutionary shift in consciousness, focusing on SELF™-determination, SELF™-definition, SELF™-defense, & SELF™-actualization. Further, it calls for separation from ideologies of resistance as a means to its sacred ends, adopting the principled position "what you resist, persists."
LiVeration™ emphasizes the reclamation of cultural identity, traditions, & values, rejecting forced assimilation into systems that do not serve the best interests of ABiAn Peoples™. It recognizes that true freedom is not granted but owned & built through IT™ (Intentional Transformation). It is both an individual & collective journey, rooted in the belief that fulfillment comes from actively pursuing joy, wisdom, & abundance rather than simply enduring hardship.
Guided by FAiTH™ ("Fuckit All i Trust Happy"), LiVeration™ embodies unwavering SELF™-trust & a commitment to happiness. It is a spiritual and practical framework developed through LiFE™ Centering and the concept of "Kuwa…," which represents the embodiment of divine potential.

"She embraced LiVeration™, insistently, Intentionally Transforming to live by no one's rules but her own. The rewarding sounds of cackling children (hers and others) playing carefree, outdoors well into the night paid homage to the priceless beauty of her comforted smile."
