Primary Programmer   https://www.spreaker.com/episode/primary-programmer--71129602 Are you living a life you designed, or are you just a character in someone else’s dream? We often confuse the "trunk" for the "elephant." We focus on the outward noise—the bills, the titles, the labels society slaps on our chests—and we forget that we are the ones who hold the source code. The tension today lies between the comfort of being defined and the terrifying freedom of defining yourself. Most stay in the "huts" of external validation because the "pyramid" of self-determination requires a sacrifice of the old self. Who told you that you were "just" anything? Call to Inaction: Stop trying to be understood by those who haven't done the work to understand themselves. "What does not strengthen should be released, for it is a false treasure."

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
