Some random pre 1600 Black History
Last year, I made some social media posts about Black history, originally for Bhakail but they also got posted by the national SCA account. Here they are.

Hi, I’m Calidus. I’m currently in the Barony of Bhakail in the East Kingdom, though I started SCA in the Barony of the Forgotten Sea in Calontir. I’m not super active usually since my work schedule prevents me from a lot, but I am chronically online, and can be found on a lot of SCA discord servers, or you can email me at 303902@members.eastkingdom.org. I have a lot of random interests and am not particularly good at anything, but I made this site just to have a place to organize whatever I work on.
I’m not college educated, so I don’t really know what I’m doing to be honest. I’m just having some fun and following my weird hyperfixations.
I don’t have any awards, so if you want to recommend me for one, feel free. It’s not something I try to focus on but I know sometimes people think certain people have awards they don’t have so they don’t recommend them so I figured that was worth adding here.

Since I’m an obsessive nerd, before making this tunic, I tried to learn if embroidery on roman tunics was actually a thing or not. I couldn’t find much on the subject, but I did find this, which talked about Romans calling embroidery ‘painting with the needle’.
For a while, I’ve wanted to try my hand at making some West African clothing, but I wasn’t really sure where to start. There just aren’t as many resources for it as there are for European things.
