The Gatekeeper’s Delusion: Why Hoarding the Blueprint Is Killing the Village

Image
  The Gatekeeper’s Delusion: Why Hoarding the Blueprint Is Killing the Village We love to claim we want generational wealth, but too many of us are still terrified of our own brother’s success. We hoard contacts, hide the technical "How," and treat our hard-won blueprints like state secrets. That is not business acumen—that is the lingering poison of a captive mindset. Scarcity is the master switch of colonial conditioning. It is designed to keep you trapped in the bottom-tier emotional loop of being Mad, Sad, and Scared —weighed down by blame, shame, and guilt. When you believe resources are finite, you treat every sibling as a rival and turn the village into a crab barrel. But as the ancient Wolof reminder declares: Nit, nit ay garabam —a person is the medicine of another person. August 20th holds a mirror to our collective tape: 1619 (Point Comfort): When the first "20 and odd" captive ancestors arrived in Virginia, isolated survival was impossible. Only shared ...

A Little About The Fast

  A Little About The Fast Great Umoja in the 4th cycle of 2022 in the week of Kujichagulia. Man it is great to be back, I thought that I would be able to write and create while on my fast, but No,No,No, my mind nor my body was having it. I took a break for most of the 4th cycle of Umoja. I wrote maybe two blogs so the eMag is going to be light. Today I want to cover the structure of my fast and maybe talk a little bit about why I do it. My particular fast came about because GNJ needed something to deal with our health. Being who I am, I not only wanted to set it up, I felt that it was important for me to model. Although we talk about the 4 pillars of health in our "Drink Yo Water '' song I wanted something that could help people lose weight, stop smoking, stop harmful drugs, develop healthy habits, or destroy negative ones. The #21dayNguzoSabaChallenge does that. Using the idea that it takes 21 days to create a habit I decided to use the 21 days to build up the momentum to...
