The Lone Wolf Lie: Why Your "Independence" Is Keeping You

Image
  The Lone Wolf Lie: Why Your "Independence" Is Keeping You You are walking around drained, trying to play the solitary savior. Brother, you’ve been conditioned to believe that asking for backup is a sign of weakness. Sister, you’ve been wearing that "superwoman" cape so long it’s choking out your peace. We have been sold a toxic, exhausting western myth: the illusion of the solo survivor. We were told that power means carrying the weight of the entire world on your shoulders in complete, stoic silence. That isn't sovereignty. That’s a trap. When you isolate yourself under the banner of "I'll just do it myself," you aren't protecting yourself—you are keeping yourself fragmented, fatigued, and easily broken. An old Ashanti proverb warns us: Nsa baako ntumi nkyekyere abandwa — "One hand cannot tie a bundle." Think about that metaphor. A single stick, no matter how strong the wood, snaps with a light flick of the wrist. But bind those s...

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...
