Don't You Ever Quit!!

Don't ask me how I did it, ask me why I did it !! We often go through life pursuing selfish ambitions because we believe that satisfying our desires is the ultimate goal of life. Though self satisfaction does play a part in living a fulfilling life; it only plays a small role. Christ taught us that the greatest commandment is loving thy brother as thy self. Doing for others the same you would do for yourself is the greatest law of the universe. This law is what powers me day in and day out, knowing that I am not doing this for me. I often hear people say their lives change when they have a baby, well, it because of this same reason, when you start providing the love for another being that you provided for yourself then you instill a balance in your life. What balance ? Well the Chinese people illustrates the balance of life more vividly than any other nation in my opinion of course, so I would ask you to google "Yin and Yang Meaning" . You see this world operates on

I want to go home(Africa)

          E very time I watch videos like the one above I can almost be brought to tears because it's my hearts desire to return home one day, I was born in the Turks and Caicos but I never felt like I belonged their for some reason, though, I can justify this feeling based on my personality being somewhat "shy". I just never felt at home, when my grandmother lost her house in a hurricane 6 years ago, the house that held all my childhood and teenage memories, I didn't even feel anything. That lost was like a reminder to me that, this place isn't my home. I have had people laugh at me, diss Africa and talk down on my dream but I know what I want, I want to be free, I want to go somewhere that will appreciate me and welcome me with open arms and I believe deeply in Africa being that destination. I feel like I'm always playing catch up whenever I learn something new about Africa because of the European and American educational systems of my country. Stuff I s

Must Read Book !!! - For All Religious God Fearing People !!!

This book is an eye opener for people who are trying to discover who they are(identity) especially blacks. It is a book that will have you googling a lot of things as you read because of how much biblical evidence it presents. It uses the bible to supports its arguments a lot, which can be hard to follow at times since the bible is the only source the author sticks to throughout the text. For me I try to understand the bible based on the time period in which events occurred and not compare it to modern day society. For example, modern day biblical beliefs of piercings and tattoos are often considered to be markings of the beast and satanic, though, these practices are rooted in paganism, the main reason God ask us to abstain from them in the bible was based on the economic and communal era of that time. Since the bible is an African book, the people of that time was people of color, to distinguish themselves from other people, tribes would pierce their skin and get tattoos in the n

Must Read Book !!!! To All My Historians

Image
You know that phrase "Don't judge a book by it's cover?" I must admit I fell victim to that and was left speechless after completing this book. From the cover I thought, well, I'm going to read a book about black civilizations thriving in great wealth. I was aware of Timbuktu being an great city so I thought , I would read about how great the city actually was. WRONG lol, oh boy was I wrong. Listen if you love black history? GET THIS BOOK!!!! I will give you a little insight and leave the rest to you so that you can do your reading and hit me back up to discuss it. So here are some areas this book covers: 1) It gives readers an insight of the religion that dominated the world before Christianity 2) It breaks down the origins of  racial division(Blacks,Whites, Yellow People) and why it happened 3) It proposes where the white race originated from 4) It provides a history not taught in schools or in fact among the Black community 5) Lastly and my fav
