Title: The Lone Warrior Flex is Killing You: Why Hyper-Independence is the Ultimate Trap

  Title: The Lone Warrior Flex is Killing You: Why Hyper-Independence is the Ultimate Trap We’ve been hoodwinked into believing that struggling in silence is a badge of honor. Across our neighborhoods, Black men and women are wearing themselves into early graves, carrying the weight of entire worlds on their shoulders, and convincing themselves that asking for a hand is a sign of weakness. That isn't strength. That’s a glitch in the program. On Day 36 of our 70-day Ancestral Algorithm cycle, under the regal purple glow of Umoja (Unity), we are dismantling the lie of the solitary warrior. The system taught us to glorify the isolated figure suffering alone in the dark. But our ancestors saw right through that trick. The Akan elders gave us the raw truth: "Wisdom is like a baobab tree; no one person can embrace it with their arms." Think about that. A single baobab trunk is massive, ancient, and unyielding. It doesn't matter how strong you think you are—you cannot wrap ...

Late Night Hookah

First, before I get into my post, I want to send shots out to my youngest daughter who made it to the world on December 27 2012 at exactly 6:14... so from this day she will be Known as Ms.614.. I don't believe in coincidence so ms.614 or Sasha confirms that I am where I supposed to be and doing what I am doing. Some may wonder why I promote using the Internet to it's fullest.  I suggest that everyone gets a blog, twitter, face book, spreaker, g+ and what ever us is out there. "My reasons are personal" (in my Vito Corleone voice)... Legacy ladies and gents. We are living in the most dynamic time in human history, and each of us have the ability to through our voice, writing, ideas, and etc. out into the world. We have been taught to stay quiet, and not share what's on our mind, but I am saying stop hiding your light. Shine for the world, for you may project the beam that may free someone. Stop worrying about those who don't agree with you or that you may not ...

New Tool In Revolution - Meet Gumroad

Image
Finally business/ that is done on internet/ that makes sense and fair/ I like to introduce those on the Journey to Gumroad.com . I was lucky enough to run into this site from a post by one of my internet heroes (Seth Godin). Finally I am seeing ideas that make the internet a truly level playing field. With Gumroad you can sell things directly to your followers and friends. No big institution in-between taking a cut from your labor.I personally sell books off of amazon, and they take almost 50% of what I make. This gives an artist like myself no choice but to raise my price. But with Gumroad on charging .25 cents per purchase now I and other artist can bring our price down so that people who may want to try our product would be more willing to do so.  For me this has revolutionized the game, and now I'm jumping into the heart of it. Because this site allows me to sell MP3, PDFs, or even seen hardcopies or other objects over the site at a an affordable price. I can make ...

Demari Faust on Gye-Nyame Journey radio

Image
Had an excellent interview with one of columbus's finest artist. It is good to find young artist who really embrace Hip-Hop tradition. In the interview we discuss the path that he has walked and he dropped some jewels for those who have ears. So take a coffee brake and listen his and other interview on my spreaker radio show Gye-Nyame journey. Nuff said Peace & 1hunid years
