Gye-Nyame Journey Media

Tricks Are for Kids, But Stories Are Not We live in a world shaped not by facts, but by stories . And somewhere along the line, we made the mistake of thinking stories were just for kids. At Gye-Nyame Journey , I’ve been saying this for years: the stories we tell ourselves shape our lives . The stories we hold about ourselves, our families, our communities, and our nation—these aren’t just words floating in our minds. These stories direct our behavior , mold our worldview, and set the parameters for what we believe is possible. But the problem is, most of us didn’t write these stories. We inherited them. We absorbed them. We consumed them like junk food—unaware they were feeding us poison. Narratives Are Weapons In today’s world, narratives—or “stories” as we used to call them—are some of the most powerful tools being used against us . And what’s worse is, we let it happen . We let others tell our stories for us. We allowed systems, media, and outside forces to define who we are,...

Fasting is Natural: You’re Already Doing It! Many people think they can’t fast. They believe it’s an extreme discipline reserved for monks, spiritual seekers, or health fanatics. But the truth is, you already fast every single day without even realizing it. My goal is to show you how fasting is a natural part of your daily life and how you can extend it gradually to experience powerful health benefits. You’re Already Fasting Every Night Think about it—when you go to bed, you stop eating. From the time you close your eyes until you wake up, your body is in a fasting state. Then, in the morning, you have a break-fast (yes, you are literally breaking your fast ). But here’s the key—most people don’t think about their sleep as part of their fasting time. What if we did? What if we counted those hours and built on them? Let’s break it down. Building Your Fasting Practice Step by Step If you sleep 7 hours, that’s already 7 hours of fasting. What if, instead of eating immediately upon wakin...

What Are You On? The Power of the Underground Railroad in Our Journey Oh man, great, great, great! It’s a powerful day on this Gye-Nyame Journey, and today, we’re diving into question number eight . Now, before we get too deep, let me give you a little history—because, you know, everything we do is rooted in legacy. See, question number eight was actually the first question I came up with when I was putting together the Underground Railroad Rites of Passage Program. That’s right—before all the other questions, this one set the foundation. And for those who might not know, the Underground Railroad (UGR-R) was one of the early organizations I put together—maybe my second, maybe my third. Either way, it was crucial to building what we now recognize as Gye-Nyame Journey . This series of questions we’re working through? These are the original ones , the ones designed to connect us back to our history, our struggle, and ultimately, our mission . Because what is self-mastery without knowing...

Tribal Quotes Revisited Essence Over Assets: Redefining Success for the Conscious Mind   A Symbol of Unity and Prosperity Greetings, Brothers and Sisters of the GNJ Tribe. Today, we dive deep into a profound proverb that resonates with the core of our Africentric journey: "Success is not so much what we have as it is what we are." This timeless wisdom, articulated by the insightful Jim Rohn, invites us to recalibrate our understanding of success. In a world that often measures worth by material accumulation, this proverb challenges us to look inward and recognize that the true essence of success is rooted in our being, not in our belongings.

True success, as our ancestors understood, is a harmonious blend of self-mastery, community upliftment, and spiritual alignment. It's abo...
