MISSION OVER MADNESS

  MISSION OVER MADNESS https://www.spreaker.com/episode/mission-over-madness--72096094 The monkey is in the forest, and we are running so fast we’ve forgotten why we’re chasing it. We are "Mad, Sad, or Scared" because we are trying to fill our cups with external validation while they have cracks at the bottom. The truth, family, is that we have become "Accidental Beings," reacting to everything the world throws at us instead of designing the life we were born to live. This week of Kuumba reminds us that we are the architects. But you cannot build a new reality on the foundation of an old, broken one. You have to scrape off the buildup—the fear, the comparison, the "groupthink"—before you can paint a masterpiece. A Call to Inaction: Stop trying to "do" more. Stop adding tasks to your list. The mission is not to get busier; it is to get clearer. The proverb "Slow-slow one grabs the monkey in the forest" isn't about laziness; it’s ab...

The idea of starting this show came from a conversation I had with one of my brothers. This was long before the internet was in our pockets and shaping our lives the way it does today.

Game Changers- 1Hood

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
