The Myth of the Perfect Pioneer: Why Our Path to Unity is Supposed to Look Crooked

The Myth of the Perfect Pioneer: Why Our Path to Unity is Supposed to Look Crooked Let’s stop lying to ourselves. We love to judge the architecture of a bridge while standing safely on the other side, completely forgetting who had to swallow the dirt to build it. An old Akan proverb drops a heavy truth on our laps today: "The one who cuts a path does not know that behind him it is crooked." When you are the first one out in the wilderness hacking through the dense, thorny brush of systemic oppression, generational trauma, and economic redlining, you aren't walking a straight line. You are fighting for survival. Your focus is entirely on the next swing of the machete. Your steps will look jagged, raw, and unpolished. Look at our blueprints: Althea Gibson (1957): She didn't glide gracefully into Wimbledon; she hacked through a brutal, suffocating jungle of white supremacy to claim her crown.

Greens, Streaming, New Camera Gimbal, Greens & Fish on Nia, Adsence and $3 an Hour

Some of our ventures I believe are misguided because we want to touch the world before we touch the hood. Lastly I am struggling trying to understand internet marketing, how to do digital ads. I talk about a goal of making $3-5 per hour, and you have to watch to understand what I mean. I will see you tomorrow.

On this Journey you have to sometimes adjust your trajectory. You sometimes end up on a dead end trail, because the Journey is about gaining the experience so that you can share what you know. At these times it is good to humble yourself and admit that you are lost. What I have found in life is  that when you let your ego go and ask the universe for help, something always appears. Sometimes it's a book, a map, gift, and if you are lucky  a person. During one of my lost moments, I happened to be on TED.com looking for videos. This is when I ran into Seth Godin's presentation entitled " The Tribes We Lead ". He presented answer to questions I had been wrestling with. I suggested that those on the Journey check the video out. Now I want to send props for a few major things I learned from @sethgodin: 1. I was not trying to build organizations, but Tribes. It was something I had being doing but did not know what to call it. By being introduced to this idea, I have cha...
