Drop the Cape, Save Your Spirit

Image
Drop the Cape, Save Your Spirit Drop the heavy load / We were never born to bleed / Alone in the dark Family, let’s be brutally honest on the porch today. We have been conditioned to worship our own destruction. We wear hyper-independence like a gold chain, but in reality, it’s just unhealed trauma wrapped in a cape. We’ve turned suffering in silence into a spiritual badge of honor. Our sisters are running on absolute empty—carrying entire lineages, households, and institutions on broken backs—while our brothers lock their agony behind iron doors, dying from unexpressed grief and high blood pressure because they think real men don't bleed in front of the tribe. That isn't strength. That's a trap. When you try to be the savior of the universe, you aren't walking in power; you are feeding the ineebee —that parasitic energy that thrives when you are isolated, exhausted, and bitter. You are trapped in the fear and sadness of believing nobody has your back. We need to step i...

The Gina Gee Project "Cream Of Wheat"

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".

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...

Game Changers- 1Hood

Image
Now, I knew that my brothers  +jasiri X  and  +Paradise Gray  were in Pittsburgh NationBuilding, but to see the video shines a long needed light on the work that they have been doing. These brothers have moved the concept of hood media to another level. By setting up an academy that arms young people with media and the skills to control their images, they have empowered a generation of thinkers that will definitely have a say in the direction are communities go in. I only hope other youth groups embrace the model and begin to use media to build the images that they want to see rather than be victims to the images that are being produced for them and the world to see. Media is the new front lines and I salute 1Hood for building our Special Forces. checkout the video: Watch "Game Changers: The One Hood Media Academy" on YouTube Nuff said Peace & 1hunidyears
