The Fire in the Stripped Soul: Why Your "Hope" Is Keeping You Trapped

  Look here, Tribe. Pull up a chair, lean back against the porch railing, and let’s have some real talk. Today, the calendar aligns us with the frequency of Imani—Faith . But let’s get something straight right out of the gate: we are not talking about that passive, hollow hoping they handed us to keep us quiet in the cotton fields. We aren't talking about sitting around, hands folded, waiting for a miracle to drop out of the sky while our neighborhoods bleed and our families struggle. No, family. Real Imani is the raw, active, unyielding fire that stares down the deepest shadows of life without flinching.

Giving good speeches/
does not necessarily/
equals leadership/

It seems that we have confused the concept of leadership, with a good orator.

Individuals who have been selected for their positions because they could recite a good speech, and move some emotion. It is time that we move beyond that, at least those of us on the Journey. We need to begin judging some of these so called leaders on what they have accomplished, rather than what they promise.
Nuff said
