Scrape The Canvas

https://www.spreaker.com/episode/scrape-the-canvas-reclaiming-kuumba--70619646  Have you noticed how exhausted everyone looks trying to be "creative"? We’ve been sold a lie that Kuumba requires us to constantly produce, grind, and add more to our already overloaded lives. But what if the greatest creative act you could perform today has nothing to do with starting something new? What if the masterpiece is already there, suffocating under years of societal buildup, false expectations, and inherited guilt? In today's porch talk, we dive into why the secret to true Kuumba isn't about picking up the brush—it's about scraping the canvas. We explore the subtractive approach to SelfMastery, where letting go becomes your greatest power. You might be surprised by what happens when you finally stop trying so hard. Call to Inaction: A heavy basket catches no wind; empty it to feel the breeze. Reflect on this today: What daily routine or habit is purely noise that I can stop...

Kuumba Toast - Countering Oppression with Creativity (Sample)

Daily Toast

Peace FAM: Daily we gather aroung the "virtual community fire" known as the internet to lift our glasse to salute those who came before us. I decided that we needed to create a ritual where we lift up our personal Ancetors. My personal favorite part of libations has always been where we salute those ancestors that we rose from, and I feel that often we overlook them for the bigger names that we learn in our classes. I wanted to set a space and a time where we focused exclusively on our persoanl ancestors. In my studies I have learned that "hell (at least the closest thing we had to a hell) for an African was being forgotten." That is why I am diligent about making sure that we mention there names every morning. What started as me celebrating my ancestors turned into building up a community list, and group of people that have introduced the concept of Toasting into their lives.  Through this process which has been going on everyday for the last 17 months we have i...
