Revelations of Self


Before I get started my blog which is way overdue let me apologize for the delay in getting Circle 7 out. I am editing the project to make sure that I get you all a quality product. Shameless plug, yes I know.

It has been interesting since I my last post. I had a turning point in my life. It was the beginning of “Black” History month and since I did not have the opportunity to have programs for young minds like I previous years I took my education to social media. There was one post where I was going to hashtag Black power, black love, and black pride where I knew that would make people feel uncomfortable. I actually paused and took a step back afraid of damaging relationships with people who may be offended.

In a moment of clarity I realized that I do not care about the opinions of a person who would care that I support my people because I would never want an individual like that in my circle and when my book drops those feelings would increase tenfold. So it is better to see where people stand now than when minds are awakening because of the journey their souls are traveling through when engaged in the pages of my books.

I just find it funny that I showed hesitance in those hashtags where I have done events that if find about could have got me fired based on the pure and true educational content. It is a struggle that I have where I battle with post traumatic slave syndrome and results of living in white supremacist society. Some choose to ignore it but I identify myself within it and reflect in challenges when attempting to destroy the system. It is through engaging minds that I hope to overturn the system through having complete control of the arts. Circle 7 is the first step then Hungry Man soon to follow. I don’t want the children of tomorrow or my own children to have the same reservations that I had. I want them to be leaders and trailblazers that change the society and the world over so that people of color will have their place globally redeemed.

I am truly excited to have made connections on social media as I am more interested in my book changing your life than making a profit. So wish me the best in trying to have to get this thing out to the people. And make sure you check out #circle7video on Instagram they have cool clips of teachers that have been a huge part of my development. Also if you read this before the 15th of April make sure you do something spiritual for the full moon it is supposed to be epic. Love and Light.
