The Architecture of Release: Sculpting with Kuumba

  The Architecture of Release: Sculpting with Kuumba https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-architecture-of-release-sculpting-with-kuumba--71087749 They’ve got us fooled into thinking that creativity means we have to constantly produce. Every day, the culture tells you to add another side hustle, learn another skill, put on another hat, and wear another mask. We are walking around exhausted, carrying a hundred pounds of "more." But what if Kuumba—true Creativity—isn't about painting on a blank canvas? What if it's about taking a chisel to the heavy, hardened stone of expectations and scraping off everything that isn't the real you? On today’s episode, we explore the Orange energy of Kuumba through the lens of subtraction. We aren’t building today. We are demolishing the false narratives of who we are supposed to be. Call to Inaction: “A tree does not grow by holding onto its dead leaves; it grows by letting them fall.” What mask of "strength" can you stop ...

The Gina Gee Project- Graduation & Tea Bags

Image
Peace FAM: Ms. Gina Gee is at it again. Today she is celebrating the fact that she got to walk across the stage. Last year she missed her graduation, and some of her supporters at the school made sure she got to walk with the graduating kindergarten class this year. One of the reasons I like her doing this project is that she is motivated to do better in every aspect of her life. She is sharing her self, and her personal growth with the world. I know many adults may not agree with this, but unfortunately Gina chose me as her father, and since I believe that it takes a village to not only raise a child, but to move a child to greatness, I will allow her to continue exposing herself to her village. Since we are in the digital age her village is also digital, so welcome. Gina and Shasha also video taped themselves helping me make "That Ambroisa", by getting the tea bags ready, and you get to see Ms. Shasha in her fullness. So sit back watch, and share with other young people i...

The Gina Gee Project- Oatmeal

Image
I am a little behind in keeping up with the creative project of Ms. Gina, but on this installment she takes my phone so that she can get a better quality picture for her fans. She is determined to be a YouTube star, and wants to bring better ideas to the digital realm. On this day she decided to teach the world how to make instant oatmeal. I love the fact that she comes up with this stuff on her own and I am in full support. She even motivated her mother to get in on the act, by having her do her hair before the broadcast. So tune in to my second youngest Gye-Nyame girl as she takes you into the dangerous world of instant oatmeal. Support her efforts by sharing with other young people. who knows what her next adventure will be. As a father I am hyped about her passion and will do everything in my power to support it. At this moment I am looking into getting a camera so that we can dedicate it to getting quality material out for the world to see. My daughters are imitating what they ...

The Gina Gee Project "Cream Of Wheat"

Image
The Gina Gee project is a show that my daughter created. She saw me making video, and been watching YouTube​ and decided to do her own thing. For the last year she and her sister Ms. Shasha have been recording video using up all of my storage space, and figured that it was time to support her. Her first video is about making Cream of wheat. She in a dramatic fashion microwave her breakfast and teaches the viewer. I believe that when our children show interest and dedication to something we should support them. This might be a phase, but I am trying to use it as what our ancestors call a "lure to Mastery". I believe that our children need to be taught skills and in this video project she will learn, acting, interviewing, editing, and story structure and story telling. All these are transferable skills that can be used in pursuit of her life's purpose. Of course she will get a write-up from me on our site,  at least until she ( hopefully) starts writing her own accompa...
