Stop Chasing the Leaves: Why the Consumer Matrix is Killing Our Roots

Stop Chasing the Leaves: Why the Consumer Matrix is Killing Our Roots Let’s stop playing nice with the systems that are actively draining us. Everyday, we are bombarded with the toxic gospel of the hustle—told to stack another gig, download another finance app, and buy into external validation. We’ve been conditioned to trade our cultural inheritance for temporary, cosmetic luxury. We are out here changing our leaves to survive the corporate winter, but we are letting our roots rot in the process. The Amharic proverb explicitly warns us: "Don't abandon your foundation; even trees change their leaves but keep their roots." Our foundation is Ujamaa —Cooperative Economics. But we’ve allowed a predatory system to distort our vision, turning us into the ultimate consumers instead of the ultimate creators. Think about the old tale of the maiden and the magic fish. Her husband couldn’t stop demanding more—more property, more status, a bigger empire—completely devoid of gratitude...

It’s Okay to Be Lost

 

I’ve always called my job an adventure, and I’m proud of that. I love what I do, even with all its challenges. But more than just my work, life itself is an adventure. And for anyone reading this—whether young or old—let me assure you: it’s okay to be lost.

Being lost is part of the journey. It’s part of the process. Nothing is always going to line up perfectly. Things won’t always go according to plan, and that’s fine. The key is to learn how to be lost without panicking. Learn how to be lost and still keep your mind steady. Learn how to take a breath, be still, and move forward without fear.

Too many of us stress out when we don’t have all the answers. We feel like if we don’t know exactly what’s next, something must be wrong. But that’s not the case. Some of the greatest growth happens in the confusion. Some of the best lessons are learned in the wandering.

Embracing the Unknown

Right now, I’m in a season of my own uncertainty. For a long time, I didn’t want to leave America. But lately, I’ve been seeing things differently. I feel like America has lost me, or at least, it’s no longer where my future is calling me to be.

Comfort can be a trap. It keeps you in place when life is trying to move you forward. But stepping into the unknown—embracing the adventure—forces you to grow. It forces you to find new strengths, new skills, and new paths. In being lost, you find yourself.

And that’s exactly what I intend to do.

Ghana: A New Chapter

For those who don’t know, I’m making a move. I’m heading to Ghana. Not just for a short visit, but


with the intention of finding long-term opportunities. I want to build something there, to create, to explore, and maybe even stay.

I don’t have all the details figured out yet—and that’s the point. I’m willing to get lost enough to find what I’m looking for. Maybe this move will bring me back to podcasting and vlogging. Maybe it will open doors I haven’t even imagined yet. But one thing is for sure: I’m embracing this adventure fully.

So to you, wherever you are in life, remember: It’s okay to be lost. Stay open. Keep moving. Trust the process.

Peace.

How to pour Libations

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...
