I needed a few days before posting and I am still processing. My 1st 
Love, my Baba, Ahmed T’Chaka Zulu Obafemi (Ibaye Bayen Tonu) made his 
transition on Friday, February 18, 2022 at 12:00am. We will share 
celebration of life details once finalized. Keep my family in your 
prayers as we navigate through this time and process the physical loss 
of the Patriarch of the Dixon/Obafemi family.

Ahmed formerly known as Jesse Dixon, the oldest of 10 was born on 
September 25, 1938 in Valhalla NY to Katherine and William Brewster 
Dixon and raised in New Rochelle NY. He always had an amazing voice and 
started a couple of singing groups. The LoveLords was the most popular. 
The group sang and won Showtime at the Apollo and recorded several 
songs. When Ahmed became a citizen of the Republic of New Afrika, he 
became a target for organizing and being outspoken and was a political 
prisoner for a time. He is a founding member of Freedom Now, the New 
Afrikan People’s Organization and the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. He 
was a key organizer in the grassroots movement that changed Lenox Ave to 
Malcolm X Blvd in Harlem NY. Ahmed has lectured throughout the U.S. on 
numerous college campuses, community rallies, radio and television 
programs. He has represented the New Afrikan Independence movement 
internationally in Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Libya, Ghana, Puerto Rico, 
Nicaragua, Cuba, Germany, France, Canada and South Africa. His work has 
initiated alliances with national liberation struggles and progressive 
organizations inside the U.S. borders and worldwide. Ahmed is a father, 
grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle, godfather, cousin, 
comrade, mentor and friend. I salute you, my hero, my Baba!! Asante Sana 
for your unwavering commitment to the liberation of your people. 
Nakupenda Forever!!! #FreeTheLand
