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. Through the Gye-Nyame Journey system, we practice via negativa —the power of stripping away what was never meant to be there in the first...

School House Rock- interjections

This post came about from a conversation that I was having where my intelligence was brought into question because of my use of cuss words. The person stated that "fowl language is used by those who are not intelligent enough to express there thoughts". I started laughing because I suddenly had a flashback to my child hood sitting in front of the TV watching school house rock. I remembered the video called interjection and shared that cussing is nothing but the use of interjection which express excitment, and or emotions. so those of you that will be attending my training prepare for some interjections.

How to pour Libations

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 “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...
