Drop the Cape, Save Your Spirit

Image
Drop the Cape, Save Your Spirit Drop the heavy load / We were never born to bleed / Alone in the dark Family, let’s be brutally honest on the porch today. We have been conditioned to worship our own destruction. We wear hyper-independence like a gold chain, but in reality, it’s just unhealed trauma wrapped in a cape. We’ve turned suffering in silence into a spiritual badge of honor. Our sisters are running on absolute empty—carrying entire lineages, households, and institutions on broken backs—while our brothers lock their agony behind iron doors, dying from unexpressed grief and high blood pressure because they think real men don't bleed in front of the tribe. That isn't strength. That's a trap. When you try to be the savior of the universe, you aren't walking in power; you are feeding the ineebee —that parasitic energy that thrives when you are isolated, exhausted, and bitter.

Game Changers- 1Hood

Now, I knew that my brothers  +jasiri X  and  +Paradise Gray  were in Pittsburgh NationBuilding, but to see the video shines a long needed light on the work that they have been doing. These brothers have moved the concept of hood media to another level. By setting up an academy that arms young people with media and the skills to control their images, they have empowered a generation of thinkers that will definitely have a say in the direction are communities go in. I only hope other youth groups embrace the model and begin to use media to build the images that they want to see rather than be victims to the images that are being produced for them and the world to see. Media is the new front lines and I salute 1Hood for building our Special Forces. checkout the video: Watch "Game Changers: The One Hood Media Academy" on YouTube Nuff said Peace & 1hunidyears

Capoeria a model for new world

Image
Image via Wikipedia Play capoeria/ And with each Roda watch life/ Change before your eyes/ Being blessed to have been involved with capoeria, I have a model of life that works for me. Capoeria is an art that teaches you how to play rather than fight. Don't get me wrong you learn to defend yourself, but the vibe is different from other martial arts. In capoeria you view conflict differently, by you making it a game you are more willing to try new things. In trying new things the art becomes you as you develop your style of play. This feeling , this idea can't help but to come into your regular life. Your life begins to become your roda (ring were we play) and you are constantly in the game. Knowing the rules of the roda or life makes the game more spectacular as you do your moves, and take advantage of what is being given to you. i had to recently look at my life and remeber my training. Some time when life seems to become overwhelming I have to take advantage of the rules ...
