They’ve lied to you about your purpose

They’ve lied to you about your purpose https://www.spreaker.com/episode/equinox-of-purpose--70741318 They told you it was something you had to hunt down, hustle for, and build from scratch. They handed you a heavy bag of expectations, pointed you toward a steep hill, and called it a "career path." But today is Friday. Today is Nia. And today, the universe sits in the perfect, quiet balance of the Equinox. What if your true calling isn't found by adding more to your plate? What if the path to your highest self requires you to stop trying so hard to be everything to everybody? We spend so much of our lives accumulating titles, masks, and burdens that we bury the very thing we were born to do. It’s time to stop building and start unearthing. Listen to the latest episode to explore why your greatest power lies in what you are willing to walk away from.

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".

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
