Is Your Personal Economy in a Recession?

  https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-wealth-you-carry--69782826 Is Your Personal Economy in a Recession? We talk a lot about "buying Black" and supporting the community, and that is essential. But there is a step before the dollar changes hands that we often miss. In today's episode, we dive into the principle of Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) , but not in the way you might expect. We are looking at the "economics of the self." If you are emotionally bankrupt, spiritually overdrawn, and mentally in debt to fear, how can you contribute to the collective wealth? We discuss why the first business you must manage is the business of You , and how taking inventory of your internal assets changes the game for everyone around you. You don't want to miss this perspective shift. Get the Nguzo Saba Narrative Map Stop guessing where you fit in.

  https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-alchemist-s-hands--69688219 Are You Just Surviving, or Are You Creating? There is a distinct difference between "making it through the day" and "shaping the day." For generations, our people have been masters of the second path. We’ve taken the most difficult circumstances and turned them into culture, rhythm, and resilience. But how do you tap into that power when you feel drained? How do you move from reacting to the chaos around you to being the architect of your own peace? In today’s episode, we explore the sacred principle of Kuumba and why your ability to create is actually your greatest political and spiritual act. If you’ve been feeling stuck in a loop of "same old, same old," this conversation is the spark you need to start reshaping your reality.

Are You Living Your Story or Someone Else’s?

Defining Your Own Reality Are You Living Your Story or Someone Else’s? We all have a script. It’s handed to us by our parents, our schools, our jobs, and society at large. It tells us who we are supposed to be, how much we are allowed to earn, and what we are "allowed" to dream. But what happens when that script doesn't match the fire in your soul? In today’s episode, we confront the uncomfortable truth about Self-Determination. We aren't just talking about making choices; we are talking about the radical act of defining your own reality. We explore the "bad omens" placed on us by others and how, like the story of the princess with the crooked back, we can transform our perceived weaknesses into our greatest sources of power. If you have ever felt like a supporting character in your own life, you need to hear this. Your Next Steps: Stop wandering and start building.

Tricks Are for Kids, But Stories Are Not

Tricks Are for Kids, But Stories Are Not We live in a world shaped not by facts, but by stories . And somewhere along the line, we made the mistake of thinking stories were just for kids. At Gye-Nyame Journey , I’ve been saying this for years: the stories we tell ourselves shape our lives . The stories we hold about ourselves, our families, our communities, and our nation—these aren’t just words floating in our minds. These stories direct our behavior , mold our worldview, and set the parameters for what we believe is possible. But the problem is, most of us didn’t write these stories. We inherited them. We absorbed them. We consumed them like junk food—unaware they were feeding us poison. Narratives Are Weapons In today’s world, narratives—or “stories” as we used to call them—are some of the most powerful tools being used against us . And what’s worse is, we let it happen . We let others tell our stories for us. We allowed systems, media, and outside forces to define who we are,...
