Is your "no" strong enough to be a shield?

  Is your "no" strong enough to be a shield? Podcast episode: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/wielding-the-shield-the-subtractive-power-of-kujichagulia--72294159 Family, we are dealing with a critical tension on this day of Kujichagulia. We love talking about self-determination like it’s a badge of honor we put on by building more, working harder, and hustling faster. But what if real self-determination isn't about what you build, but what you are willing to tear down? In this episode of *Tha Daily Spark*, we confront the historical trapping of the Black experience in America—the reality that our "no" was stripped away by a system that demanded absolute compliance. We look at the chilling narrative of *The Godfather* to explore what happens when you finally decide to throw up your shield against toxic external demands. We aren't giving you a checklist of things to add to your schedule today. We are exploring the friction that happens when your boundary dist...

CHOCOLATES
No one likes chocolate
But everyone seems to like vanilla and alpine white
The darker the Chocolate the longer it sits around and no one will take a bite
Chocolate doesn’t even like chocolate or it’s darker cousin fudge
For anyone to buy either one they would need a little nude
It’s a shame when a chocolate company spends more money on vanilla, than on its own
And try to lighten up chocolate to be as white as a bone
Now the  vanilla company has put german chocolate and white chocolate on the market
Now its even harder for a piece of chocolate just to be chocolate
Now to me being chocolate is the only world I would be in, but the only way I would be bought if my name was first European
Or if in some way I try to fade to alpine, but there is no way I change, without first destroying my mind
Now I love carmel, and when I start to eat vanilla I find it hard to stop, but nothing taste as good to me as one of those fine proud chocolate drops
Or fudge is even better when its made the right way, either one will give me enough energy to make it through the day
The worst part about the situation is when chocolate starts to dislike itself, then it gets all hot and sticky, and begins to melt
Now there is nothing in this world…..
Nothing in this world worst than a melted piece of chocolate, even if I bought a melted piece of chocolate in the trash can I would drop it
Because a melted piece of chocolate would do nothing but contaminate the others, and cause strife and turn one piece of chocolate against another

How to pour Libations

Image
We pour libations/ to connect with all that is/ and to cleanse our hearts/ I need to start this article by stating this information is based on my personal experience. I have been pouring libations for at least 20 years all over the country and personally. Libations for me is a process of remembering, and connecting or re-connecting to not only the Spirit but everything around us . When we pour libations we are opening ourselves as well as the group to the axe ' of the entire Universe . I first must admit that I do not belong to a group, sect or religious order. I am a lay man who have made a personal connection with the world, and the spirit. By pouring Libations we strengthen these relationship. So let me define a few things first so that we can be on the same page. Libations - the process of pouring or giving a sacrifice to form a connection with this world and the spiritual realm. Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...

The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels

  The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels “It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.” — Aesop In the world of fables, we often find animals acting out the deepest parts of our humanity. These creatures, symbols of instinct and survival, carry lessons older than time itself. The Bat and The Weasels , retold from the mind of Aesop and reimagined through the lens of Gye-Nyame Journey, isn’t just a tale for children—it’s a guide for those grown folks who still seek mastery. When the World Has You Cornered Here’s the setup: A bat falls to the ground and is caught by a weasel. The weasel hates birds. So the bat, slick with the tongue, says, “I’m not a bird—I’m a mouse.” The weasel lets him go. Later, the same bat falls again. This time, a different weasel catches him. But this weasel hates mice. So what does the bat say? “I’m not a mouse—I’m a bird.” And he gets set free again. Now, you could say the bat was being dishonest. But hold on. Let’s go de...
