“Sweet Lies”: How Sugar Is Silently Sabotaging Our Minds and Our Youth

🍬“Sweet Lies”: How Sugar Is Silently Sabotaging Our Minds and Our Youth In the Gye-Nyame Journey, we constantly talk about reclaiming control of our lives—our thoughts, our time, our energy. But one of the biggest saboteurs of that control might be sitting right in your pantry, masked behind a thousand names. That saboteur is sugar . The Hidden Chains of Sugar Sugar is more than just a sweetener—it's an addictive substance that hijacks the brain’s reward system. Studies have shown that sugar can be more addictive than cocaine in animal tests. It lights up the same neural pathways and leaves the body craving more. When we talk about freedom, health, and liberation, we cannot ignore this powerful substance that’s quietly shaping our moods, our waistlines, and our willpower. Eliminating or drastically reducing sugar is like breaking invisible chains . You think clearer. Your energy levels stabilize. Your mood improves. You sleep better. Your skin glows. And most importantly, you be...

We Don’t All Come from Kings and Queens: Leadership, Lies, and the Power of Collective Purpose

We Don’t All Come from Kings and Queens: Leadership, Lies, and the Power of Collective Purpose Great Day, Fam. Let’s get into it. This one’s gonna push some buttons—and that’s exactly the point. I'm not writing for comfort. I'm writing for clarity . And today, I want to address one of the most repeated mantras in our community: “We all come from Kings and Queens.” It sounds good. It feels empowering. But family—it’s not the whole truth . Who Took the Trash Out? If everyone was a king or queen… Who held the sick? Who built the temples? Who mastered the mathematics? Who cooked the food? Who cleaned the streets? Who protected the realm? We all didn’t come from the throne. And that's not a bad thing. The idea that only royalty holds value is a lie designed to inflate egos—and egos that believe they’re at the center of the universe cannot be led. Leadership isn’t about title or self-importance.

Guiding Energy & Fake Adults (A Timeless Rant from 2021)

Image
Peace, Family. Three years ago, I hit the mic and went in on something that's still burning in my spirit today. The video you're about to watch — “Guiding Energy & Fake Adults” — was recorded back in June 2021 , but the message remains just as urgent now as it was then. In that rant, I was fired up about the systems we keep handing our children over to — systems that don’t reflect our values, don’t serve our communities, and never truly loved us. I broke down the idea that childhood is a sacred phase for the guiding of energy , not just about chasing jobs or credentials. I asked the hard question: 👉🏿 Who are we preparing our youth to serve? But I didn't stop there. I turned the lens on us — the so-called "grown folks" and "conscious community." Too many are out here walking around like lone wolves, refusing guidance, avoiding community, and staying uninitiated. That’s dangerous. It’s childish. And it’s time we stopped pretending otherwise. ...
