Shut Your Mouth Until Your Feet Hit Dry Ground

  Shut Your Mouth Until Your Feet Hit Dry Ground We have developed a fatal habit of mistaking loud agitation for actual liberation. We get three strokes out into deep water, catch a whiff of momentum, and immediately start barking threats at the predator whose belly we are swimming across. The Zambian and Somali elders laid down a non-negotiable rule of survival: “Do not insult the crocodile until you have crossed the river.” Yet every single day, our people take to timelines and street corners, screaming declarations of war against a predatory apparatus that still owns the roof over our heads, the food in our refrigerators, and the water coming out of our pipes. That is not revolution; that is suicidal arrogance. On this day of Ujamaa—steeped in the restorative, fluid force of water and draped in vibrant green—we must confront the reality that economics is not just buying Black. It is the ruthless, calculated conservation of your life-force energy. The river is the perilous passa...

The Subtractive Power of Nia: Stop Adding, Start Stripping

The Subtractive Power of Nia: Stop Adding, Start Stripping

Tribe, we have a collective addiction, and it is keeping us weak. We’ve been brainwashed by a hyper-capitalist, hustle-and-grind culture into believing that to find your purpose, you must constantly add more to your plate. More side hustles, more titles, more obligations, more noise. We split our divine energy into a thousand different directions and then look at our lives wondering why our impact feels diluted.

Today is Friday, July 10, and we are stepping directly into the golden light of the Nia (Purpose) cycle. Nia isn’t a prize you win by collecting more baggage. Nia is revealed through the via negativa—the art of subtraction. You don't need to find your purpose; you need to uncover it by scraping off the heavy, calcified layers of distraction, illusions, and the toxic baggage of blame, shame, and guilt that this society handed you.

Look at the blueprint left by our Ancestors on this exact day. In 1875, Mama Mary McLeod Bethune was born to parents who had broken the literal chains of enslavement. She didn’t wait for a corporate grant or validation from the system. She looked at the lack around her and subtracted the doubt. With nothing but $1.50, five young Black girls, and cardboard boxes for desks, she cleared the clutter of systemic limitations and manifested a university. Her purpose was a spiritual weapon for nation-building.

On this same day in 1943, Brother Arthur Ashe was born. He didn't let the tennis racket define him; he subtracted the ego of individual stardom and used his platform to illuminate civil rights and fight global apartheid. And in 1973, on this very day, The Bahamas threw off the chains of colonial rule to reclaim their sovereignty.

The daily algorithm is clear: "I align my daily habits with my lifelong destiny."

Stop letting the corporate matrix dictate your value. Your power isn’t in what you accumulate; it’s in what you choose to shed. Move out of the paralysis of being mad, sad, or scared about your circumstances. Step into absolute Peace, Power, and Joy by clearing the clutter. Choose one habit to discard today, let your true self breathe, and claim your sovereignty.

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 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...
