The Lone Wolf Lie: Why Your Private Bag Will Rot Before It Saves You

Image
The Lone Wolf Lie: Why Your Private Bag Will Rot Before It Saves You Drop the hustle-porn mythology. The predatory culture that sold you the "self-made" fantasy lied to you. It convinced you that hoarding paper in a gated enclave makes you bulletproof. It taught you to brag about your solo grind while your community’s economic foundation bleeds dry. Wake up: A solitary granary in a starving village isn’t an asset. It’s a target. Pull up a chair. Take a slow, measured breath down into that power center two inches below the navel. Let the tension out of your shoulders. We are stepping square into the sovereign green current of Ujamaa—Cooperative Economics. Our ancestors left a warning encoded in the Zulu and Xhosa proverb: Indlela ibuzwa kwabaphambili —“The path is asked of those who have walked it before.” And who walked it before us? The brave warriors of Guinea-Bissau under Amílcar Cabral, who taught us that true sovereignty requires returning to the source and stripping off...

Separation & Nia (16 ways to deal with the "Separation Phase") sample

Image
In the process of entering a rite of passage, the initiate is separated from their world. When this happens, they are often introduced to a new world that they must master. For most of us, this is a time of discomfort. A feeling of inadequacy and uncertainty arises. We begin to question what we have done thus far in our lives and wonder if there is more to life than what we have experienced. It is in these moments that we must reject the doubt and embrace our inner-truths. Nia requires the same thing; when we begin pursuing Nia, we experience separation and must master the new world we are presented with. 16 Ways To Deal With The "Separation Phase" 1. Use Your Circle Of Support – Have you heard of your "circle of support?" It's basically your support network: family, friends, teachers, mentors…anyone who you trust and can turn to for help! When you enter into this phase, you need to lean on these people more than ever. 2. Make Time For Reflection – Make sure you...

Gina Gee Project- Let's Make Waffles

Image
Peace FAM: Gina Gee, and the Mosh are at it again. This time they explore with some assistance from dad (myself) how to make waffles. They mix it up, and put it on the iron and they come out pretty tasty. So tune in and watch my girls get busy. be sure to share with children around you as well with other families that may be looking for family friendly viewing.

The Gina Gee Project- "Let's Make Some Popsicles"

Image
Peace FAM: The young ladies are at it again this time trying to demonstrate how to create popsicles. They are still learning how to place the camera so that the audience can get a better view, but they are making progress. The most important thing for me is that they have fun, and continue to pull on their creativity. We had quite an experience with letting Gina, and Shasha pick out the juice for the shoot. After going through about 5 different choices we finally decided on the flavors that you see in the video. Shasha & Gina would like to thank their grandmother for coming up with the idea as well as providing the prop. Shots out to the adults that are supporting these young ladies dreams. I thank you a thousand times. Now the question that I am wrestling with is how to get the video in front of children eyes. if you have any ideas leave them in the comments. The Gye-Nyame Journey channel will be focused on developing the family entertainment portion. From this channel we will...

Gina Gee Project- Attack Of Tha Mosh

Image
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.

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...
