We Shall Overcome !

The story starts off with a little boy black in the ghetto. No matter what he does it's back to the ghetto no choice but to adapt to the ghetto, so he adapts to the ghetto - Juelz Santana

 It easy to look down on people when you have a slight advantage( and i say slight because in a split second you can lose that advantage) but its even harder to give them a hand because of the fear that, too much help can land you in that same situation. I believe this is the mental process of most successful ghetto raised individuals who can come back and curb the problem but choose not to. 

 The problem is, the Willie Lynch Syndrome is still mentally embedded in most black people so it's hard to override 3 centuries of psychological programming in one year or even a decade. On one of my videos, I will explain exactly what the Willie Lynch Syndrome is. But my point is I'm tired of the ghetto and I would love to be an advocate for rebuilding stronger communities that serves us all. I plan to do that. 

We have a long way to go, and the battle will be sour and dreadful but the strong will continue because what's in your heart no weapon can take away. In honor of MLK I say "The Dream" continues to manifest and though what was once a majority has become a minority; this minority won't  go quietly into the night. WE WILL RISE, WE SHALL RISE, IT IS DESTINED FOR US TO RISE!!

Let It Flow Chale.....

Both of my mentors has been grilling me for my attitude lately and yes I am confessing that I was trying to force a lot of things to happen. I got worried, I allowed the fear of the future to get me completely out of my grove. I remember I would wake up hungry, ready to take on the challenges of the day and lately I've had mornings, where I didn't want to even face the reality of what my life was. Yes, somewhere I allowed society to contaminate my mind with thoughts of being an iconic success story one day. I wanted it all and I wanted it now and this is what was making my mentors uncomfortable about me. I lost the appreciation of the little things while focusing on the big picture and I cried when I realize how far I feel off from the person I was when I first started this journey. I am back into my "FLOW" mood, just allowing things to happen and what doesn't happen wasn't meant to be. I look back at last year around this time and the odds I was up agains...

Why am I still in my box?

A year ago my mentor sent me an email about me being inside of box- not showing the world who I am, what my talents are and the gift that God has given me. Eventually I learned how to come out of my box while living in the UK and I was able to impact a few lives while doing so.  Living inside the box was safe, no one knew me, no one expected anything of me, I could be free well at least that was the illusion I was selling to myself. In contrast, living outside of the box created a passion, it made me feel valuable, it showed me my purpose in this world and that was real freedom - knowing everyday that I can impact the world just by being who I was meant to be, created a feeling of "flying" in my soul. I actually love being outside of the box although I am more vulnerable there but I think venerability is the one thing that allows people to connect with you. It's the one thing that allows people to feel comfortable around you(i.e. like a form of humility) so don't ...

Making Progress On New Year's Resolution

How do I make progress this year ? 1. Tackling the biggest misconception about new year's resolutions(NYR) - It does not have to start at the beginning of the year. Most people begin the year believing that change must be made instantly. It does not work like that. Change just like anything in the world that is worth having, takes time. Change is like a seed, you plant it, water it and make sure it is getting exposure to sunlight. By doing those things, you have made an effort and the rest is up to the universe to decide whether you are ready for a new plant(change) in your life. The universe gives us what we are ready for and it always comes at the right time.  2. What if my NYR is finding Love ? - The seed you plant for love is a seed you plant inside of yourself. A seed of personal growth; you must become the person you want to fall in love with and that takes time. We hold on to our beliefs on how life should turn out and honestly life should not be shaped by such expec...
