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.

What's new on Journey?/
continuing our writing/
and building future/

I would like to thank all regular readers and those new folks that have joined us. On this blog I try to make sure that my tribe are posting information that can link you with information that can help you on your journey. We write, and give you info that can help you move to what we call SelfMastery. So welcome..
When you read if you like and you feel like hiting the Tip jar please do. We are trying to figure out to make this a full time gig for some of us in Gye-Nyame. We had set a few goals for 2011 and we are within a arms length of reaching one. We are less than 200 hits from 10,000 views, we have a following of 13 and over 200 on FB. I did not expect to hit any of these numbers until August, so that means we are a head of schedule. as afr as publishing i have put out 4 books and i have 3 more tribe members that will be publishing within 2011-2012, i wont say no names because they don't know it yet (hahahaaa). This coming year i am looking for ads that touch my readers to hit links on our sites so if you have any ideas about what products would be more appealing to our readers.
this is your Journey as well, and if you have post that you want me to place or if you have a blog that you want me to link into our blog conglomerate (hahahaaa, i have many family members that are writing, and sometimes you be reading there material) and share your work let me know.
in this coming week i will be sharing chapter eight of "The Baba" so get ready the saga continues. I will be putting a Ha2ku by ha2tim book together soon so if you have some stuff you want me to cover hit me up. I also will finish the 2 books sitting on the shelf.
Don't forget about our training starting June 5th at my favorite spot gypsy cafe(hookah lounge).
