  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."

The Power of Imani

I’m in a room of people and I see the strongest black woman I have ever met. She walks with the stride of an African queen and the smile of an angel. She is intelligent, beautiful and powerful beyond measure, but for some reason she does not believe that she is worthy. She does not believe that she deserves to be free from the shackles of systemic racism, or that she deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. This woman believes her destiny is in the hands of everyone but herself. She has lost her faith in her ability to positively impact her own life. This woman has lost sight of the power that lies within her. The power to do anything, be anything, and create anything she desires.

This woman needs to regain her faith in our Ancestors, their ability to influence events in our favor, the power of our Kuumba to shape, mold, and protect our lives, and above all else, she needs to regain her faith in herself. For it is this faith that will instill confidence in the actions we take today. Faith that will make it possible for us to walk through this unfriendly land with pride and dignity because we know our goals are greater than any obstacle they can put before us. If we Pull on the power of our kuumba, and back it up with the power of our Imani.

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...
