Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Image
Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism.

FAM, on the "Daily Toast" you often hear me talk about the 4 pillars to staying healthy, proper breathing, drinking pure water (half your weight in ounces), eating cultural appropriate food, and movement. These pillars will keep you healthy and feeling good. We stress cultural appropriate food because we believe that every culture has particular diet that helped them survive. Every culture develops a relationship with the land they inhabit, and this land (territory) strives to take care of the people (culture), and provides them with food that helps them survive. When a people follow their cultural ways of eating they avoid many of the diseases that are a scourge upon the world today. As ADOS we have a strange situation because we were stolen from our land, stripped of many of our cultural ways, and separated from our natural diet. It is up to us to piece together what we can to build back to our cultural ways, and our natural health. We are existing in an international ...

Come on out and join us for this months market day. We will be celebrating Queen Mother Moore, and hosting a discussion about reparations. This will be a Mall to remember, and the information that you will get, will help you see the importance for our people to fight for what is ours. Of course all the regular vendors will be in the house and hopefully thanks to you helping spread the word we may have some new vendors as well. Come out and join the conversation that will be starting at 2pm. Also let us know if you have a skill, talent, or a subject that you would like to share during the Mall, we can schedule a time for you to present at a future mall.

If each person that views this post would share it with 7 other people we can reach that number by July. We also will be having our "Movie & Discussion" from 3-6pm. $5 for adults and free for 17 & Under. The movie for this month will be "The White Man's Burden" staring Harry Belafonte & John Travolta. Come out and let us hear your voice in the conversation.
