Defining Your Own Reality Are You Living Your Story or Someone Else’s? We all have a script. It’s handed to us by our parents, our schools, our jobs, and society at large. It tells us who we are supposed to be, how much we are allowed to earn, and what we are "allowed" to dream. But what happens when that script doesn't match the fire in your soul? In today’s episode, we confront the uncomfortable truth about Self-Determination. We aren't just talking about making choices; we are talking about the radical act of defining your own reality. We explore the "bad omens" placed on us by others and how, like the story of the princess with the crooked back, we can transform our perceived weaknesses into our greatest sources of power. If you have ever felt like a supporting character in your own life, you need to hear this. Your Next Steps: Stop wandering and start building.

  Peace and Power, Family. We often talk about "securing the bag," but we rarely talk about securing the bond. Today marks the start of Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) week, but the day itself belongs to Umoja (Unity) . The lesson is simple but critical: You cannot have a cooperative economy if you don't have a unified community. If you have been feeling the strain of doing it all alone, this message is for you. We are breaking down why connection is the first form of currency and how we can stop struggling in isolation. Unity: The First Currency Let’s build together. Hotep.

If you've ever felt like you're doing the work but getting nowhere, the issue might be your Imani . Today, we look at why the "base stone" of your pyramid must be set before any other work can begin. What are you actually placing your trust in? The answer might surprise you.

  https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-compass-in-your-chest--69543873 Most people wake up and let the day handle them. They react to emails, they react to bad news, they react to traffic. But the principle of Nia (Purpose) challenges us to stop reacting and start intending. Today's conversation is about that internal compass. It's about that moment you decide that your life isn't just a series of random events, but a built mission. We talk about the difference between a job and a purpose, and why our community needs you to find yours—right now. You don't want to miss the proverb we discuss today; it changes the way you look at friendship and focus.

  https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-ant-s-secret-to-moving-mountains--69517528 Have you ever looked at a problem in your life—or our community—and felt like it was just too big to move? We see the "grasshoppers" of economic disparity, family tension, and systemic hurdles, and we feel small. We try to tug at them by ourselves until we burn out. In today's episode, we're looking at a Tanzanian proverb that reveals the simple, mathematical power of Ujima. We’re moving away from the exhaustion of solo effort and into the efficiency of collective work. There is a specific way to "yoke" your energy with others that makes the impossible feel light. If you’re tired of pulling and getting nowhere, it’s time to change your strategy. Tune in to find out why two are always better than one.

Umoja   https://www.spreaker.com/episode/umoja-the-technology-of-the-bundle--69495681 We’ve all been told that we need to "be the best version of ourselves." But what if that version is incomplete without the person standing next to you? In today’s episode of Tha Daily Spark , we dive into the ancient Gye-Nyame wisdom of the "Seven Sticks." We look at why the smartest elders and the strongest warriors often fail exactly where the children succeed. If you’ve been feeling like you’re carrying the weight of the world on a single, fragile branch, this conversation is for you. We’re pulling back the curtain on why "Independence" might actually be the roadblock to your next breakthrough. Listen to the full episode above to discover the technology of the bundle.

  In today's fast-paced world, if you aren't creating, you're being consumed. Today’s focus on Kuumba (Creativity) is a call to action for every man and woman in our community. We often think of creativity as a hobby, but it is actually the foundation of our liberation. In the latest episode of Tha Daily Spark , we break down the "Monkey Heart Strategy." Just like the Monkey in the ancient tale, we must learn to protect our core purpose (our heart) while navigating the dangerous waters of today’s economy and social systems. We discuss how to stake your claim in new territories—especially the digital frontier—and turn your ideas into assets.

Podcast Episode: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-green-harvest-of-the-we--69434400 In the Gye-Nyame Journey, we speak often of moving away from the toxic cycle of BSG (Blame, Shame, and Guilt). One of the most practical ways to break that cycle is through the application of Ujamaa , or Cooperative Economics. Economics is often seen as a cold, distant field of numbers. But in our community, economics is deeply personal. It is about who we trust with our hard-earned resources. When we practice Ujamaa, we are asserting our Self-Determination (Kujichagulia) on a collective scale. We are saying that we have the power to create our own systems of support. The Practicality of Ujamaa: Intentional Spending: Look for ways to keep your dollar within the community for as many "hops" as possible. Shared Resources: Can you pool resources with others to start a garden, a business, or a youth program? Mentorship: Sharing your professional "secrets" is an act of Ujamaa. Wea...

In a world that praises the "self-made" individual, the principle of Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility) offers a more powerful truth: we are made by each other. Today, as we vibrate in the color Blue , we reflect on the architecture of our community. Ujima is not just a nice idea; it is a survival strategy. It is the realization that we cannot achieve true Peace, Power, or Joy in isolation. When one of us is hurting, the whole body of the community is weakened. Conversely, when we work together to solve our problems, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome. Why You Need to Listen to "Tha Daily Spark" Staying aligned with our cultural values in a world that often ignores them is a daily challenge. That is why I created Tha Daily Spark . Each episode is designed to give you that "spark" of wisdom—the alignment you need to keep your hands on the plow and your heart in the work. By becoming a subscriber and a supporting member, you are practicing Uji...

Unity Ain’t Just a Word: Practicing What We Pledge Today, I found myself musing on the principle of Umoja , or Unity . I went through my morning meditation and workout, but something was missing — I forgot to recite the Gye-Nyame Pledge . That may not seem like a big deal to some, but it made me pause and reflect. Why do we pledge? Why do we say these words each day? The Power of a Daily Pledge A pledge is more than recitation — it’s a daily reminder of who you are, what you stand for, and what you’re building. Whether you're building a business, raising a family, strengthening a tribe, or transforming a community — Unity is required . Umoja is not passive. It’s not a cool word to post. It’s not just a hashtag. It’s a practice . Or maybe the better word is praxis — not just belief, but action . Daily. Deliberate. Intentional. Practice Over Perfection A pledge helps ground that action. It reminds us not just of where we’re going — but who we must become to get ther...

  Know Your Enemies In war it is very important to have scouts. These are soldiers or warriors that go ahead of the normal troops, to get an idea of what the enemy has waiting for their army. The scouts job is to gather information about the enemy and bring it back to their leaders so that they could more effectively deal with future battles. Do you have scouts in the world. I promise after this folktale you will be trying to get some. We are looking at the folktale (fable) called “The Bowman & the Lion” and the lesson that I learned pretty much sticks with the moral of this story “be on guard against men that can strike from a distance”. This is very important in all aspects of our lives. Many of us are being hit by the arrows of enemies that we didn’t even know we had. These arrows have been set on autopilot, and are triggered by us trying to get in spaces that were not designed for us. We can see these arrows flying in business, certain fields of work, in real estate, in law...

Peace FAM: Today or should I say yesterday because my post on our site is always one day behind. I started a fast in an attempt to align myself with a cycle that has been adhered to by many, if not all ancient people. For those that do not know I am talking about the solstices and the equinoxes. In particular I am talking about the summer solstice that will taking place on June 20, 2017, which is known as the longest day of the year. I want to discuss with you these "power days", that I believe  can be used to help us update our bodies and help adjust our personal software to get us back in tune with the Universe. I don't want to go to deep on this subject but I want you to know that by learning about some of the larger cycles that we have been made ignorant of, can help us get in tune with our true selves. On the solar calendar the cycle of the sun can be broken down into four parts, and if you want to go deeper we can actually break it down more, but for our purpose ...

Peace FAM: Today let's talk about the benefits of "That Ambrosia", after having all of these discussions about about the microbiome, I felt that it was the right time to remind all of my watchers, and readers that GNJ has developed a product that can help with all of the issues that we have covered. I need to stress that as far as hydration nothing comes close to water, but then to get probiotics, herbs, vitamins, and minerals  into your body. On this video I also talk about the fact we are now able to provide our supporters with their very own SCOBY's so that they can start the brewing process at home. Checkout the video for those that want to skip pass the toast I suggest jump to about 30 minutes and that is about the time the discussion starts. For all those that would like to support GNJ and get "That Ambrosia" click the link. Until the next time....

Peace FAM: The project continues on, but the tension between the Gye-Nyame girls is building up. Gina setup a shoot, but in the middle of filming she walks out and leaves "Tha Mosh" alone with the camera. Will Ms. Shasha leave the camera alone or will she move on and complete the show. Tune in to my hilarious children as they continue create content for their viewers. Gina is determined to make her mark on YouTube, and her little sister is right on her tail. tune in and share this with the young people in your life, and maybe even give them the camera and see what they can create. Your babies may surprise you. To edit my projects I use Power Director for android, it is an incredible tool for making videos.

Peace FAM: I have the creeps, after doing this research looking into parasites. I am shocked that these little critters effect almost every part of our body. They are even known to influence our choices, as far as food, and even effect our emotions. There are Protozoan parasites that are famous for causing  sickneses like malaria, tapeworms, flukes, roundworms, and the many different varities that each of these bugs come in. They sit inside of us growing off of us causing all forms illness, and now is the tie for you to take control back. In Gye-Nyame Journey I constantly stress that all of the principles we practice start from with in. I guess liberation starts within as well. We have to make major moves to get rid of these critters within us, so that we can focus the energy to take our lives and tribes back. What bothers me the most is that these little bastards inside of us appear to be working for our enemies. They contribute to us eating less vegitables, by making them unde...

Peace FAM: We once again talk about culture, at the beginning I was joined by my girls, but they soon abandoned ship for a movie. This left me the space to have some adult conversation with y'all. We are neglecting the power of culture and the tools of culture, and we will not be able to march very much further in this highly competitive, and race based world if we don't start learning the lessons, and building for our future. Music is such a powerful tool that we have allowed to be hijacked. I recently was at a talent show, and the young people sang, and danced, but all of the songs that my (our) children chose were from white artist. All the songs were about pushing beyond limits and inspirational. I had to laugh because I could not think of any age appropriate songs by a Black artist that my kids could sing that fit that model. We have allowed our culture to be pimped, and turned into a weapon against us. I for one will not stand for it. We have radio stations in our com...
