The New Overseer Wears an Algorithm: Reclaiming Our Ashe from the Modern Plantation

The New Overseer Wears an Algorithm: Reclaiming Our Ashe from the Modern Plantation Let’s stop playing nice and look at the scoreboard. There is a massive, systemic difference between actually living and merely executing a survival strategy. Look around our communities. Too many of our people are walking around exhausted, drowning in unspoken anxiety, and operating under a cloud of permanent systemic fatigue. We’ve been conditioned to trade our sacred, unrecoverable time for paper returns, lying to ourselves that we are "building a life." The hard truth? You aren't building a life. You’re just financing your containment. To understand why our families and communities are fracturing, we have to look at the mechanics of energy. We have to talk about Nia (Purpose) and how our collective Ashe —our divine, creative life force—is being quieted, funneled, and harvested to build empires that don't know our names and don't care about our ancestors. Let's drop the met...

The Skin & African Sponge - Daily Toast Kujichagulia 613171

Peace FAM: I shared some information about the largest organ in the body, and the importance of its care. Most people do not think of the skin as an organ, but it is. In fact when you start learning about it is incredible. It is our bodies first line of defense from the world. It helps regulate the temperature of the body, and helps eliminate toxic waste. On top of all that it helps us look good. Unfortunately we are poisining ourselves with all of the products that we are putting on our skin. Not really reading about the chemicals that we are absorbing into our bodies. The skin is super absorbent, you may just think that you are putting on deodorant orrubbing in lotion, but the fact is you our introducing poison to your system. I also talk about my personal experience with what is called the African sponge. It is great for helping you clean your skin, it also helps with blood flow, and helps remove dead cells. This simple tool or cloth that I found being used in Ghana everywhere ...
