The Axe Forgets, But We Build: Why Kuumba Is Your Ultimate Weapon Against Systemic Amnesia

The Axe Forgets, But We Build: Why Kuumba Is Your Ultimate Weapon Against Systemic Amnesia Oppression thrives on a very specific type of fraud: systemic amnesia . The system hits you, leaves a scar, moves down the block, and expects you to act like nothing happened. It relies on the cold, unfeeling nature of the axe. The axe strikes with brute force, leaves deep gashes in the bark, and walks away completely oblivious to the weight of the blow. The axe forgets because it doesn’t have to carry the damage. "The axe forgets, but the tree remembers." — Shona Wisdom We are the tree. Our roots run centuries deep into this Earth, and our inner rings record every storm, every winter, and every strike. We remember. But remembering without action keeps you trapped in the tri-state trap: Mad, Sad, and Scared.

Game Changers- 1Hood

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 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 ...
