EXPLANATION FOR THE BLOG NAME "PANCOCOJAMS":
"Pancocojams" is an expansion of the title that I coined* for my previous (now inactive) cultural website- "cocojams".
When I coined the word "pancocojams", I gave it the meaning "Black cultures around the world".
"pan" = worldwide
"coco" = chocolate (= Black people)
"jams" = music (expanded meaning - "cultures")
My "cocojams" cultural blog was launched in 2001 and voluntarily deactivated in 2014. It wasn't until some years after I "coined" the word "cocojams" that I found out that it was a previously existing word.
