The Thumb insisted nothing could be held down without his weight. The Index Finger swore he was the leader because he points the way. The Middle Finger looked down upon everyone because he stood tallest. The Ring Finger flaunted his jewelry, and the Little Finger claimed he alone knew the secrets whispered in dark corners. Individually, they were extraordinary. But when a heavy calabash of water was placed before them, none of them could lift it. And when a venomous scorpion crawled onto their mat, their isolated brilliance nearly got the entire arm killed. Listen to episode In our homes and communities today, we see the exact same paradox. We have never had more degrees, more personal titles, or more individual leverage. Yet when real pressure touches our collective doorstep, why does our grip slip? Why do our five gifted fingers refuse to curl inward until the poison is already in the bloodstream? What illusion of safety are we clinging to that makes us prefer being exceptional...

Peace FAM:
I have been on the grind for years now with, blogging, podcasting, vlogging and now brewing I am finally making inroads on a platform, but I feel I need to explain why I do what I do. I believe that I need to express the Nia that is flowing through me at this time. My purpose is to enlighten, uplift, encourage, and I must be honest to talk. Those that know me, know that this the truth. I believe and have believed for a long time that I was born to talk. I have supported my family with my mouth, I have provided jobs with my mouth, I have raised money with my mouth, and I can continue but I won't. I am driven to do this, and to the dismay of many in my life I continue. I will get up early in the morning to make sure that I am able to reach those that are taking the time out to listen. Hell I will do a show if no one is there, and I fell I need to explain this desire. Because the fact is that I am not alone, many if not all of my readers, listeners, viewers, and drinkers have been called to do something. What separates me from the bunch is that I will do it, and do it for free. I will offend, I will praise, I will discover, and I will mess up publicly. All so that I can fulfill that Nia, because if I don't it won't let me rest. The goal of the video is to push those standing on the sidelines , into the game. You are not alone, and the craziness that you feel inside is not truly crazy. That is your internal GPS screaming for you to start your journey. We all were born with a quest, that we need to complete before we leave this life, have you started. If not what are you waiting on, the present world benefits from your silence, your stillness, and it feeds off your fear. Express your Nia, she will protect you, of course you will be challenged, of course you will face hard times, and you suffer, but my friend you will live. I mean really live, my Nia has taken me around the world. My Nia has fed me when I was hungry. My Nia has provided a school and home for my children. My Nia has brought true friends, and has exposed my enemies. My Nia educates and demands that I share what I discover with you. So excuse for being long winded, that is just the fire in bones. That is just the scream of victory of my ancestors rolling off my tongue.
Family, today I plan to lay out the why of what I do. I need all those that are on this GNJ train to understand who I am and why I am. Hopefully that will help you find the true you if you are lost. I will talk about the purpose of my podcast "Folktales For Grown Folks, and Tribal Quotes", I will discuss the websites, I will discuss the YouTube Channel, The Books, and finally "That Ambrosia". The bottom line is that outside of me being born to talk, I picked up that if you want to be a billionaire figure out away to bring value to a billion peoples lives. I have not reached a billion, but I am on my way. Especially with a tribe like y'all. So keep sharing, commenting, and let's build....

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 Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity In every relationship—whether personal, professional, or communal—there are foundational pillars that support and strengthen our connections. I call these the three R’s: respect , responsibility , and reciprocity . They’re the legs of the stool upon which strong, enduring relationships rest. Respect: Seeing Beyond the Surface True respect goes far beyond superficial acknowledgments. It’s about looking deeper—truly seeing the person beyond what’s on the surface. This means engaging with others on a level that honors their stories, experiences, and inherent worth. Respect isn’t just a courtesy; it’s a commitment to understanding the person in front of you, appreciating their struggles and triumphs, and valuing their unique perspective. Responsibility: Owning Your Part in the Relationship Responsibility in a relationship isn’t just about meeting obligations—it’s about owning your role in nurturing a...
