  Is Your Success Leaving Your Community Behind? https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-ujamaa-standard-reclaiming-our-economic-territory--70264040 We’ve all been taught that the "hustle" is a solo mission. We’re told to stake our claim, build our brand, and protect our bag. But what if the secret to true, unshakable power isn't in how much you can hold, but in how much you can circulate? In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the fourth principle of the Nguzo Saba— Ujamaa . We’re talking about "claiming territory" in the modern world and why your creativity is the most valuable currency in today’s economy. If you’ve been feeling like you’re working hard but still feel disconnected from a larger purpose, this conversation is for you. We’re pulling back the curtain on a system that turns individual struggle into collective triumph. Don't miss this breakdown of how we build the "Collective Green."

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

Image
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...

The Three R’s of Relationships: Building Bonds on Respect, Responsibility, and Reciprocity

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...
