  The Illusion of the Grind: Grounding Our Green in Ujamaa https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-illusion-of-the-grind-grounding-our-green-in-ujamaa--71888114 You are flying high, but are you running out of breath? The hustle culture tells us to keep grinding, keep spending, and keep showing off. But the Ancestors whisper a different truth: Money is just energy.

I remember that in all my time working in the community I have always heard about the plight of the Black man. I have seen millions of dollars in my lifetime, and have been paid thousands of dollars to work with Black Men & Boys. I had to step back and ask myself the question: what about Black women and girls. To my knowledge there has been no major funding or pushes to reach out and save her. Being a Gye-Nyame Man and being taught and teaching others to ask questions, I had to ask this question. I know that this is going to rub many the wrong way but, when my enemy is investing heavily into something I have to look ask why. In our culture women are very important. We can find African societies that a...
