Stop Trying to Build Unity—Start Stripping Away the Heavy Noise

Stop Trying to Build Unity—Start Stripping Away the Heavy Noise We’ve been sold a lie about unity. We’ve been conditioned to believe that building community means adding more to an already exhausted life—more meetings, more emotional labor, more managing other people's chaos while holding your own together with duct tape and willpower. That isn't Umoja. That's martyrdom. In Black America, our survival history taught us to construct thick, impenetrable walls around our spirits. We call it "hyper-independence." We wear "I do it all on my own" like a badge of honor, while inside, we are burdened, exhausted, and stuck in cycles of fear, anger, and isolation. We stack blame, shame, and guilt like rust on pure silver, then wonder why we’ve lost our shine. Here is the hard truth: Umoja is not an addition; it is a subtraction.

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

Great day Fam: Today we talk about taking over the Green market, argue with my gimbal, look at how we can actual take some action to take control of the green market here in Columbus. I believe we need to start with our Tribes & village. If we come together around one idea I believe that others will follow. 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.

Sending Props to Seth Godin

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...
