How Can Faith Fix Our Finances?

  How Can Faith Fix Our Finances? https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-resilience-of-the-red-feather-manifesting-ujamaa-through-imani--71939483 We often treat Faith (Imani) as a prayer for the afterlife, but what if it’s the actual key to building our marketplace today? During this powerful week of Ujamaa, we are challenged to look at our economic reality through the lens of our ancestors' resilience. In the latest episode, we explore the tension between the "Simba share" of individual greed and the unbreakable strength of the "tied sticks." We dive into why Gye had to let his old shell burn away to become a Nation Builder, and how that same "fire of the sun" is waiting to transform your business and your life. Is your shell a servant, or is it the one sitting on the throne? Call to Inaction: "What does not strengthen should be released, for it is a false treasure." What competitive urge can you stop feeding today to make room for cooperatio...

shouts out to the Midwest Spider

 power is making/
your dreams breath and walk for real/
through life obstacles/


This a new part of the Journey I will begin sending shouts out to local artist, and entrepreneurs that are on the Journey. It is important that we support these folks, because they are out there grinding trying to get there name out there. So feel free to hit me up with suggestions for yourself as well of friends that out there "doin it". You have to have respect for those people that are out there making their dreams real. whether they are grinding out of their trunk, or selling their products at beauty salons or barber shops. When we support them we are really supporting ourselves. Each time we purchase a book, cd, ticket, or piece of heart we promote the culture of entrepreneurship. We keep the flame burning in them as well as ourselves. 
although i hve put some artist on the Journey i have never really introduced them to you so I have one of my favorite Hip-Hop artist send me his Bio and a link so that you could check out his work. Who knows maybe I can motivate that one sale that will keep the artist focused. I have to admit this artist is a relative, and i am very proud of the work that he has done. To watch the growth in this young man is still inspiring to an old Simba (click simba to help support another group that I Love) like myself to keep going. So i am publically announcing to my young bras/sistars out there this is our year, and like my brother CJ of  "The League of young Voters", 'LET'S GET IT'......
Ladies and Gentleman I present to you The Midwest Spider.....

 BIO


Demari Faust:  Hip Hop Artist/Song Writer from Columbus, Ohio 

…an Artist with a style like no other.  Demari’s self-described style of Weird, Artistic, Story Telling, and Outside of the Box only partially describe this brother’s ability to mesmerize his audience.  “I would like to be a pioneer in bringing back the Art of Hip Hop.  I’m not trying to be a superstar so much as I’m trying to get people to think…I love Hip Hop.  The money is important but I love Hip Hop more.”

Born in Harlem, New York, Demari’s family moved to Columbus, Ohio at the age of five.  At less than ten years of age Demari was in love with the artistry of music.  "The first tapes I ever bought was Das EFX, and TLC's first album, I also bought NWA EFIL4ZAGGIN, EPMD….  I was just spending my lil allowance money".  From then on Demari’s love of Hip Hop music was deep.  “But I remember I liked Rock n Roll as well, I used to stay up and watch Headbangers Ball on MTV...". 
Although Demari has created his own style of music his influences are many.  “Tupac got me through some of the toughest times in my life. Biggie and JayZ made me get fly and want that nice shit.   Nas and Common made me think deeper.” 

Demari’s freshman performance at Club 161 in Columbus proved to be the major turning point in the development of his music career.  The crowd loved what they heard and saw that night.  So much so that Demari has become an integral part of the Hip Hop scene in Columbus.  Since that time Demari has performed at several night clubs, venues, concerts, festivals, and expos.  Demari has performed in Decatur, GA and Biloxi, MS as well.  Demari has opened for Ray J and Ginuwine and is currently set to open for Nappy Roots. 
Demari’s freshman MixCD, Dinner and A Movie was released in 2010 and sold 4700 copies “out the trunk”!!  Dinner and A Movie II (full album) is slated for release in 2011 and is destined to do major numbers also. 

 “To me music is one of the most powerful forces in the world.  It can make you think a certain way, feel a certain way, it can make you cry, laugh, party your life away… you can really get lost in music.  I could go on forever.  Not only am I an Artist...IM A FAN!!"

Hear his music and keep up with what he is doing @ reverbnation.com/demarismovie

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...
