The Myth of the Perfect Pioneer: Why Our Path to Unity is Supposed to Look Crooked

The Myth of the Perfect Pioneer: Why Our Path to Unity is Supposed to Look Crooked Let’s stop lying to ourselves. We love to judge the architecture of a bridge while standing safely on the other side, completely forgetting who had to swallow the dirt to build it. An old Akan proverb drops a heavy truth on our laps today: "The one who cuts a path does not know that behind him it is crooked." When you are the first one out in the wilderness hacking through the dense, thorny brush of systemic oppression, generational trauma, and economic redlining, you aren't walking a straight line. You are fighting for survival. Your focus is entirely on the next swing of the machete. Your steps will look jagged, raw, and unpolished. Look at our blueprints: Althea Gibson (1957): She didn't glide gracefully into Wimbledon; she hacked through a brutal, suffocating jungle of white supremacy to claim her crown. Jackie Robinson (1944): Long before the baseball diamond, he was facing down ...

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.

The Gina Gee Project- Fidget Spinner & Tricks

Image
Peace FAM: Gina Gee and tha Mosh are at it again. This time they are sharing their fidget spinners that they received from their grandmother. Gina starts off the video by chasing her little sister away from the video camera and then gets into doing her tricks with the fidget spinner. My kids appear to enjoy the spinners, but I strongly suggest that they keep them at home rather than bring them to school. I have notices that they are big distraction in the classroom, especially the ones with the lights. I allow my Gina and the crew to use them in the car and the house. The spinner helped keep a little confusion down in the car especially since everyone has their own. Now I can't wait to see what the next fad will be. Hopefully this time I can get Gina Gee & Shasha Mosh a head of the curve, but they are new at this video production thing. Gina request that those that take the time to watch and read this post help her get up to 3000 views and likes, now I don't believe in...
