Second Edition Abridged Ħodaoa-Anibo Dictionary Now Available

Nov. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- Writer and artist, Kobina Wright, has recently released the second edition, Abridged Ħodaoa-Anibo Dictionary.  This edition currently includes an essay by Wright and an abbreviated language workbook.  It is currently available through Amazon.com and the University of Nebraska at Omaha bookstore.

Last week, Wright participated in the X13 Conference in Omaha, Nebraska, sponsored by the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s (UNO), Black Studies Department.  Wright spoke of the history of the language and provided a visual presentation of the language’s influence on various works of art and literature.  Other participants of the conference included, Timothy King, founder, president and CEO of Urban Prep Academies and author, Margerita Anderson.

Ħodaoa-Anibo: pronounced – sha.DOE.ah  ah.NEE.bo is an evolving language created by Wright, as a tribute to Africans who were forced, starting in 1619, to give up their native tongues once captured and enslaved in the New World.  It is inspired by the lost knowledge and family records that would point to the specific origins of many Black Americans.  It was also a dedication to the subsequent culture that evolved from the oppression experienced by American slaves and their posterity.

Kobina Wright is an American writer, artist, actress and language creator.  She is known primarily for her poetry and abstract art which is constantly evolving.  Wright is the creator of the Ħodaoa-Anibo  language which she began to develop in 2003 and published “The Ħodaoa-Anibo  Dictionary.”  She is also known as the co-creator of nuler poetry which she helped to develop with friend and poet, Lisa Bartley Lacey, who now goes by the name Elle Beah.
