The Thatch and the Spark: Reclaiming Kuumba within Kujichagulia https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-thatch-and-the-spark--72513557 "The rain falls on every roof, but it stays longest on the one that is well thatched." Pull up a chair on the porch, family. Let’s sit with that ancestral medicine for a minute. Right now, we are standing firmly on a day of Kuumba (Creativity) , positioned directly in the middle of a week of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) , all while navigating the larger cycle of Ujima (Collective Work) . That is a potent, heavy alignment. It is an ancestral algorithm designed to remind you exactly who you are before the world told you who you had to be. Look at our collective journey as Black people in America. We have never lacked Kuumba . We took the scraps left at the back of the house and turned them into soul food. We took a language meant to chain us and bent it into blues, jazz, hip-hop, and gospel. Our creativity is a global currency that the entire ...

Game Changers- 1Hood

Image
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 ...
