From the streets of Long Beach to building a Moorish American village in Hawaii, Cozmo El embodies the transformative power of cultural consciousness. As we explore his remarkable journey, we discover how hip-hop legends like Public Enemy and KRS-One first planted seeds of awareness that blossomed into his lifelong dedication to Moorish Science.

What makes Cozmo's perspective particularly valuable is his steadfast commitment to unity amidst division. While many spiritual and cultural movements fracture into competing factions, he helped foster California's unique approach to Moorish identity through Temple 43—a conglomeration embracing diverse lineages rather than "body banging" between rival groups. This commitment to bridge-building extends into his current work with the United Moorish Science Temple of America and the Moorish Times newspaper.

The conversation takes a powerful turn when addressing Prophet Noble Drew Ali's teaching that "Moors are rich." Rather than interpreting this solely through material wealth, Cozmo offers a profound spiritual perspective: "Power is not what we should be seeking. What we should be seeking is alignment with the force." This philosophy guides his approach to community-building and explains why he refuses to boycott his own people who may not yet claim Moorish identity—leading to both acclaim (including formal recognition from New York's government) and criticism from purists within the movement.

Most exciting is Cozmo's revelation about creating a Moorish American village in Hawaii, with a retreat center opening this August. This project represents the practical manifestation of his philosophy—creating tangible spaces where identity, spirituality, and community converge into lived experience rather than mere theory.
