Flip the Pancake: Why We Must Stop Volunteering for the Bottom

  Flip the Pancake: Why We Must Stop Volunteering for the Bottom https://www.spreaker.com/episode/reveal-the-wealth-within--72476452 Family, let’s stop playing nice and look at the architecture of the matrix we live in. This system we contend with isn't the work of some flawless, invincible global mastermind. Stop giving them that much credit. The truth is much uglier: we are dealing with insecure, narcissistic structures that stumbled onto a simple trick that works. They realized that to build an empire of false success, they needed a permanent bottom. And to make it simple—because they don't like heavy thinking—they marked that bottom by the color of our skin. But here is the hard truth we have to look at in the mirror: A system can only maintain a bottom if the people on the bottom agree to stay there. When we operate in survival mode, a critical mass of our people—even just ten percent—fall for the trap. They become the custodians of their own confinement, managing the floo...

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.

Game Changers- 1Hood

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
