"YOU PEOPLE"

Got my OWN mic, stage, key, seat & door!

Trump Yelled?

45 screams at everyone.

Why? Is it because that’s what toddlers do when they can’t get their way?

Why? Is it because intellectual dialogue is foreign to him?

Why? Is it because Ye must have forgotten that 45 wasn’t the scholarly, compassionate, respectful, caring, kind, considerate, articulate, intellectually astute, and coherent Honorary President Obama or someone in his administration?

Why? Is it because Ye thought that he had the ability to speak in great clarity?

Why? Is it because he thought he could be concrete in thought?

Why? Is it because he had high expectations and standards of one in 45’s stolen wealth bracket?

Why? Is it because he thought he would be concise?

Why? Is it because he thought he would be able to complete his thought process?

Why? Is it because he thought he was something or someone other than who and what he is?

Why? Is it because he didn’t know what people who are illiterate and ignorance sound like?

DEGREE?

IF WE HAVE ADMISSIONS SCANDAL, CLEARLY WE HAVE GRADUATION SCANDALS.

IF WE HAVE EDUCATORS AND ADMINISTRATORS SCANDALS, CLEARLY WE HAVE GRADING, GPA, CLASS RANKING SCANDALS.

IF WE HAVE ALL OF THESE SCANDALS THAT DICTATE WHO IS GIVEN UNEARNED OPPORTUNTIES, ACCESS, TITLES, POSITIONS, AND WAGES; CLEARLY THIS IS HOW AMERICA WAS BUILT UPON THE BACKS, MINDS, MUSCLES, GIFTS, SKILLS, EXCELLENCE, BRILLIANCE AND INNATE TALENTS OF BLACKNESS.

BLACK FOLKS, ONCE WE ENTER SCHOOL EVERYTHING WE DID NATURALLY IS STRIPPED, REWORDED, REPRESENTED AND TOLD US WE CAN’T, MUSTN’T AND SHOULDN’T.

PEOPLE WHO LEARN THE TRICKS OF THE TRADE ARE LIKE 45 MINUTES OR MORE AWAY FROM THE INNER CITIES AND IT IS ON THE HIGHWAYS WE MUST REACH THEM.

PEOPLE WHO LEARN THE TRICKS OF THE TRADE PARENTS AND RACIST ELDERS ARE LIKE, ADAMANT ABOUT INNER CITY CHILDREN REMAINING IN ZONED FAILED, OUTDATED SCHOOLS WHERE EDUCATION MALPRACTICE, CURRICULUM DISCRIMINATION AND EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES THAT PARTNER THEM WITH BUSINESSES, ORGANIZATIONS AND NONPROFITS ARE DEFUNDED, DENIED, OMITTED AND REJECTED BECAUSE THAT STOPS HEALTHY COMPETITION.

PEOPLE WHO LEARN THE TRICKS OF THE TRADE ARE AFFORDED UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH AND ARE AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME CONGRESSIONAL PAGES DURING THEIR SUMMER DOWN TIME OF WHICH ARE PAID AND NO MEDIOCRE WAGES MIGHT I ADD STARTING AT 16 AND OUR HOOD CHILDREN DON’T EVEN KNOW IT EXISTS

WE HAVE HONORARY DEGREES OF WHICH WAIVE AND EXEMPT ALL ATTENDANCE, ACADEMICS AND RESEARCH.

WE HAVE POTHUMOUS DEGREES OF WHICH IS AWARDED TO THE FAMILY/FRIENDS OF A STUDENT WHO DIED WHILE ENROLLED IN A UNIVERSITY AND OF COURSE, THE FAMILY ALREADY HAVE MONEY.

BLACK WOMEN ARE BORN PhD READY!!!!!!!!

HONORARY DOCTORATE DEGREES OR HONORAY MASTER’S DEGREES ARE JUST AS WHITE  AMERICA AS ONE CAN GET.

AMERICA CARVED OUT A WAY TO CONFER A DEREE TO THOSE WHO ARE SEEN AS “IMPORTANT” WHO ARE “FINANCIALLY SOUND” WHO ARE “WELL KNOWN” WHOSE FAMILY CAN JUST THROW 500,000.00 AND NOT EVEN MISS IT FOR COLLEGE ENTRANCE.

AMERICA CREATED A “PRESTIGIOUS” DEGREE TO HAND TO PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTE TO:

SOCIETY
SCHOOLS
GLOBAL INITIATIVES
HEALTHCARE
ECONOMICS
ENTERTAINMENT
POLITICS
BUSINESS
MEDICINE
SCIENCE

YET:

NEVER MIND THE AFRICAN AMERICANS FREE LABOR

NEVER MIND THE AFRICAN AMERICANS LOW WAGES

NEVER MIND THE TRAP AMERICA SET FOR US EVERY WHERE WE TURN BUT YET WE COMPLAIN NOT, PUSH BACK NOT, REJECT NOT AND TAKE IT ALL

NEVER MIND THE AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO NATURALLY HEALED

NEVER MIND THE AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO NURSED THEIR WHITE CHILDREN TO GREAT HEALTH

NEVER MIND THE AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO INVENTIONS THEY AUTOMATICALLY OWNED

NEVER MIND THE AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO CULINARY DISHES WERE PASSED ON DOWN INTO WHITE FAMILY LINEAGES

NEVER MIND THE AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO CLEANING WAS SUPERIOR UNLIKE ANY OTHER

NEVER MIND THE HEALTHY BENEFITS AFRICAN AMERICANS INVENTED AND WHITES STOLE

NEVER MIND HOW ENVIOUS WHITES USED MEDIA TO NEGATIVELY PORTRAY OUR EXCELLENCE, SUPERIORITY AND BRILLIANCE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY USING THEM, PROFITTING FROM THEM AND PASSING THEM DOWN FROM WHITE GENERATION TO GENERATION

NEVER MIND THE AFRICAN AMERICANS GRANNY MIDWIVES WHOW WERE SOMEO F THE MOST EXCEPTIONAL MIDWIVES (NO EDUCATION, NO SCHOOLING, NO TEACHING ALL INNATE) AND WHITES LEARNED THEIR TRADE AND PAINTED THEM AS UNSANITARY, IGNORANT AND ILLITERATE AND BEGAN TO FORCE WOMEN TO HAVE BABIES IN THE HOSPITALS INCURING HUGE MEDICAL BILLS

NEVER MIND THE AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO TAUGHT WHITES HOW TO BATHE BUT YET, THEY SLAM MONEY ON THE COUNTER ASHTOUGH WE ARE UNCLEAN? THE CAUCASITY OF THESE PEOPLE.

NEVER MIND THE MAGIC BLACK PEOPLE CREATE BECAUSE WHITE AMERICA IS HELL BENT ON DENYING US, OMITTING US, REJECTING US AND EXCLUSING US ALL WHILE NEEDING US TO BRING EXCELLENCE, PROFESSIONALISM, BRILLIANCE AND CHARACTER BECAUSE THEY HAVE NONE

NEVER MIND THE AFRICAN AMERICAN WHO WERE NATURAL METEROLOGISTS

NEVER MIND AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO WERE POLITICALLY ASTUTE

NEVER MIND AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO WERE NATURAL SCIENTISTS

NEVER MIND AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO WERE THE REAL AGGIES

NEVER MIND AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO WERE DAMN GOOD WITH ECONOMICS

NEVER MIND AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO HAD LOW RESOURCES, WERE DEFUNDED THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER AND BLACK TEACHERS DEMANDED EXCELLENCE AND PULLED OUT BRILLIANCE AND WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN THEM BEING CRITICAL THINKERS SO THEY WERE ABLE TO INVENT THE LATEST THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER

NEVER MIND ALL OF THAT AUTHENTICITY

THEY CHOOSE TO NOT BE GENUNINE

THEY CHOSE TO JUST PASS OUT DEGREES TO THOSE WHO STOLE BLACK WEALTH

THEY CHOSE TO JUST PASS OUT DEGREES TO THOSE WHO ZONED BLACKS INTO POOR AREAS

THEY CHOSE TO JUST PASS OUT DEGREES TO THOSE WHO WEREN’T HIGHLY INTELLIGENT

THEY CHOSE TO JUST PASS OUT DEGREES TO THOSE WHO FOUGHT TO KEEP BLACKS OUT

THEY CHOSE TO JUST PASS OUT DEGREES TO THOSE WHO HAD NO EXPECTATIONS, OR STANDARDS

THEY CHOSE TO JUST PASS OUT DEGREES TO THOSE WHO WERE FROM THOSE “GOOD” “BETTER” MORE “PROGRESSIVE” “TECH SAVVY” SCHOOLS

THEY CHOSE TO JUST PASS OUT DEGREES TO THOSE WHO DIDN’T EARN THEM

THEY CHOSE TO JUST PASS OUT DEGREES TO THOSE THEY FORBADE US FROM SEEING UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL THAT THEY WERE WEREN’T BRILLIANT BUT THEY WERE HANDED GRADES, OPPORTUNITIES

THEY CHOSE TO JUST PASS OUT DEGREES TO THOSE WHO NEVER HAD TO WORK HARD FOR ANYTHING TECHNOLOGY DID IT FOR THEM

THEY CHOSE TO JUST PASS OUT DEGREES TO THOSE WHO NEVER HAD TO DELVE DEEP INTO SUBJECT MATTER, RESEARCH AND PRESENT INTELLECTUAL RESEARCH BECAUSE WELL; THEY WERE HANDED OPPORTUNITIES

SO AS WE CAN SEE, THERE IS A LONG HISTORY OF THESE WHITE FOLKS STEALING, LOOTING, STRIPPING, OMITTING, DENYING AND REJECTING OUR BRILLIANCE, INTELLECTUAL PROBLEMS, MASTERY OF ISSUES THAT HAD KEYS, SOLUTIONS AND ANSWERS TO A BETTER SOCIETY

I AM A FIRM BELIEVER, THIS IS WHY OUR COUNTRY HAS CRUMBLED TO THIS LEVEL.

PEOPLE ARE GIVEN TOO MUCH WITHOUT ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR ACCOUNTABILITY AND THOSE OF US WHO DID WHAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO, SUGGESTED TO DO, DEMANDED TO DO AND INQUIRED TO DO ARE CRIMINALIZED, MADE TO FEEL SMALL, INSIGNIFICANT AND ASTHOUGH WE ARE IN THE WRONG FOR BEING UPSTANDING, ASTUTE, DETERMINED AND INTELLECTUALLY RIPE

WE HAVE NEVER NEEDED BRICK AND MORTAR TO PRODUCE SUPERIORITY, EXCELLENCE, BRILLIANCE, ESQUISITE, AWESOME OR MAGIC

ALL WE NEEDED WAS ACCESS, OPPORTUNITY, AND INCLUSION BUT HEY, OUR RECEIPTS PROVE THAT WE DIDN’T EVEN NEED THAT

THE FACT THAT OUR BLACK CHILDREN GRADUATE UNABLE TO READ, WRITE OR COUNT AND SOUND, ACT, RESPECT, AND REPRESENT THEMSELVES IN THE MOST UNRECOGNIZEABLE FASHION TO OUR CULTURE IN THE GUISE OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH, AND EXPRESSION COUPLED WITH THE FACT 80% OF WHITES ARE TAKING OVER THE PROFESSION IS PROOF, THEY ARE HANDED HIGH MARKS, EVEN CALLED HIGH QUALITY TEACHERS BUT THE MATH ISN’T MATHING RIGHT THO…….

KNOW THAT THIS ONE BLACK WOMAN IS ROOTING FOR YOUR SUCCESS.

WOMEN, IF THE SOUL OF THE NATION IS TO BE SAVED, I BELIEVE THAT YOU MUST BECOME ITS SOUL.” CORETTA SCOTT KING

WE NEED TO EMBODY OUR PURPOSE FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!!

WHEN REFLECTING ON THE WORD PURPOSE, THESE ARE THE WORDS INSIDE OF PURPOSE AND I NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND THIS BLACK WOMAN, OWN IT BLACK WOMAN, EMBODY IT BLACK WOMAN, BELIEVE IT BLACK WOMAN AND PROFIT OFF IT ALL BLACK WOMAN.

THIS IS IN OUR DNA AND WHO WE ARE. WE ARE AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN A PURPOSE DRIVEN WOMEN.

SO–   NO MATTER YOUR JOURNEY TO RIGHT NOW, IT WAS ESSENTIAL TO BE IN THE PRESENT FOR US ALL TO ENJOY, LEARN, EMULATE AND UNDERSTAND.

POSE–    A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS I AM TOLD, TO SEE  US STAND AS THE WOMEN WE HAVE EVOLVED INTO IN SPITE OF ALL OF THE HUMILIATION, HURT, HARM, DANGER, MALTREATMENT AND MALPRACTICE WE HAVE ENDURED, WE HAVE A PLETHORA OF WORDS, LANGUAGES, INTERPRETATIONS AND MEANINGS AND THEY ALL SAY STRENGTH, TENACITY AND STRONG WILL, BRILLIANCE, INTELLECT, INVESTMENTS AND POWER.

POUR–   THIS IS ALL WE HAVE DONE AROUDN THE WORLD AND THAT IS WALKING VESSELS DISPENSING GENUINE LOVE, HOPE, GOODWILL, FAITH AND BELIEF BECAUSE WE KNOW ALL TOO WELL WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE WITHOUT, WE BLACK WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS REPLENISHED EVERYONE BUT US, THIS IS OUR MOMENT.

OUR–   WE RAN FFROM THIS BECAUSE THE BIBLE INSTRUCTS TO “BOAST NOT” “BE MEEK” ALLOW OTHERS TO GET THE SHINE AS THE BENEFITTED, PROFITTED, AND GAINED MUCH WEALTH AND HEALTH OFF OF WHAT CAME NATURAL FROM US. WE RAN FROM THIS BUT TO SEE US EMBRACE, VALUE, ACKNOWLEDGE, OWN WHAT IS WITHIN US AND APPRECIATE IT, VALUE IT AND PROTECT IT BECAUSE THIS IS OUR GOD GIVEN GIFT AND PURPOSE.

PURSE–   THIS IS BOUGHT EMPTY BUT PEOPLE CHOOSE WHAT THE PUT IN AND BRING OUT.  WE BLACK WOMEN ARE WALKING VALUABLE PURSES WITH MIGHTINESS WITHIN AND SPRINKLE IT OVER HUMANITY, THIS IS OUR MOMENT TO SHINE AND ENJOY NOT ONLY THE FRUIT OF OUR LABOR BUT GET BACK WHAT WE HAVE LOST AND THAT IS THAT ELIZABETH AND MARY GENUINE BOND.

ROSE–   THE RESURRECTION OF THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWER I SEE  AMONG US IS TO BE DESIRED. WE ARE STANDING TALL, TAKING OVER CONVERSATIONS IN PRIVATE SUITES, COMMANDING ATMOSPHERS TO SHIFT, BEING SEEN AND HEARD, SPEAKING UNAFRAD AND INTENTIONAL AND IT IS THE SUPPOR OF OTHER ROSES FOR ME.

SORE–   THIS IS THE PROOF THAT WE FEEL, HURT, AND WAS HARMED BUT EVEN IN OUR BEING WOUNDED OR BEEN NEGATIVELY AFFECTED WITH INFECTIONS CAUSED BY LIFE WE ARE STILL SURVIVING.

ROPE–   THIS IS WHAT WE BLACK WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS GIVEN THOSE OUT IN THE DEEP WATERS, IN THE FIRE AND IN THE CAVE WHILE BEING LYNCHED BUT WE ARE CHOOSING TO LASSO TODAY AND REEL US ALL BACK TO CLARITY, WISDOM, SAFETY AND SECURITY.

US–   THIS IS FOR OUR GROWTH, CLARITY, UNDERSTANDING AND EMBRACE US AUTHENTICALLY. TO SEE US SIFT PEOPLE, WEED PEOPLE OUT AND ALLOW PEOPLE SPACE TO ASSIST US IS WHAT OUR ANCESTORS WANTED FOR US.

PURE–   TO FINALLY SEE US COLLECTIVELY CHIP AWAY THESE WALL AND UNDERSTAND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HOP ON OUR LIFE’S FERRIS WHEEL AND BE, SAY, ELEVATE, SUPPORT, EMPOWER AND BE EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED AS WE MATRICULATE TO OUR NEXT LEVEL IS WHAT BEING VULNERABLE, SACRIFICIAL, TRANSPARENT AND TRUSTING IS ALL ABOUT, WE NEED TO GET THIS BACK AS BLACK WOMEN.

RUSE–   WE LIVED A LIFE OF BEING TRICKED, BAMBOOZELED, UNREAL AND THIS REAL US IS A MORE FREE US AND I LOVE US BLACK WOMEN JUST THE WAY WE ARE.

USE–   TO TAKE ALL THINGS DONE, SEEN, BELIEVED, UNBELIEVED, HEARD, FELT AND EXPERIENCED AND TOSS THEM ALL UP TO LAND UPON OUR JOURNEY TO SHOW THE WOMAN OUR MOTHERS, GRANDMOTHERS AND ELDERS WERE IS SIMPLY GIVING ME LIFE.

PROSE–   THE WAY MY PEN METICULOUSLY, INTENTIONALLY AND TEDIOUSLY THOUGHT ABOUT US AND OUR PURPOSE AND HOW I KNOW US TO BE, WHAT I SEE IN US AND THE WOMEN WE SHOULD ALLOW TO BECOME,  O YEAH WE COULD ILLUMINATE THE WORLD IF WE BLACK WOMEN WOULD JUST UNIFY.

KEEP ON WERKIN YA JUSS

PERMISSION YOURSELF TO LIVE OUT YOUR PURPOSE OUT LOUD AND ON A WORLD STAGE.

 

MESSAGE FROM OUR ELDERS:

“Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul.” Coretta Scott King

“If the society today allows wrongs to go unchallenged. The impression is created that those wrongs have the approval of the majority.” Barbara Jordan

 

“Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.” Dr. Maya Angelou

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” Alice Walker

“Your silence will not protect you.” Audre Lorde

“I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.” audre lorde

“Without community, there is no liberation.” Audre Lorde

“Two months ago I had a nice apartment in Chicago. I had a good job. I had a son. When something happened to the Negroes in the South I said, `That’s their business, not mine.’ Now I know how wrong. I was. The murder of my son has shown me that what happens to any of us, anywhere in the world, had better be the business of us all.” Mamie Till Mosby
“Whether you have a Ph.D., or no D, we’re in this bag together. And whether you’re from Morehouse or No house, we’re still in this bag together. Not to fight to try to liberate ourselves from the men — this is another trick to get us fighting among ourselves — but to work together with the black man, then we will have a better chance to just act as human beings, and to be treated as human beings in our sick society.” Fannie Lou Hamer

“It is inconceivable that a sovereign people should continue, as we do so abjectly, to say, “I can’t do anything about it. It’s the government.” The government is the creation of the people. It is responsible to the people. And the people are responsible for it. No American has the right to allow the present government to say, when Negro children are being bombed and hosed and shot and beaten all over the Deep South, that there is nothing we can do about it. There must have been a day in this country’s life when the bombing of the children in Sunday School would have created a public uproar and endangered the life of a Governor Wallace. It happened here and there was no public uproar.

I began by saying that one of the paradoxes of education was that precisely at the point when you begin to develop a conscience, you must find yourself at war with your society. It is your responsibility to change society if you think of yourself as an educated person. And on the basis of the evidence – the moral and political evidence – one is compelled to say that this is a backward society. Now if I were a teacher in this school, or any Negro school, and I was dealing with Negro children, who were in my care only a few hours of every day and would then return to their homes and to the streets, children who have an apprehension of their future which with every hour grows grimmer and darker, I would try to teach them – I would try to make them know – that those streets, those houses, those dangers, those agonies by which they are surrounded, are criminal. I would try to make each child know that these things are the result of a criminal conspiracy to destroy him. I would teach him that if he intends to get to be a man, he must at once decide that his is stronger than this conspiracy and they he must never make his peace with it. And that one of his weapons for refusing to make his peace with it and for destroying it depends on what he decides he is worth. I would teach him that there are currently very few standards in this country which are worth a man’s respect. That it is up to him to change these standards for the sake of the life and the health of the country. I would suggest to him that the popular culture – as represented, for example, on television and in comic books and in movies – is based on fantasies created by very ill people, and he must be aware that these are fantasies that have nothing to do with reality. I would teach him that the press he reads is not as free as it says it is – and that he can do something about that, too. I would try to make him know that just as American history is longer, larger, more various, more beautiful and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it, so is the world larger, more daring, more beautiful and more terrible, but principally larger – and that it belongs to him. I would teach him that he doesn’t have to be bound by the expediencies of any given administration, any given policy, any given morality; that he has the right and the necessity to examine everything. I would try to show him that one has not learned anything about Castro when one says, “He is a Communist.” This is a way of his not learning something about Castro, something about Cuba, something, in time, about the world. I would suggest to him that his is living, at the moment, in an enormous province. America is not the world and if America is going to become a nation, she must find a way – and this child must help her to find a way to use the tremendous potential and tremendous energy which this child represents. If this country does not find a way to use that energy, it will be destroyed by that energy.” JAMES BALDWIN

It has taken my father' time, my mother's time. My uncle' time. My brother' and sister's time. My niece's and my nephew' time. How much time do you want for your... 'progress'?" James Baldwin'

MARY CAN!

THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF SUPPORT:

INSOLENCE

EMPOWERMENT

WE BLACK WOMEN ARE THE MOST CREATIVE, GENUINE, RESILIENCE, RESOURCEFUL, GIVING, CARING, KIND HEARTED, LOVING, LOYAL, BEAUTIFUL, MULTISKILLED AND MULTITALENTED WOMEN EVER.
I WANTED TO BREAK THE GENERATIONAL STIGMA THAT SOMETHING MUST BE UP FOR US TO SUPPORT, SPEAK LIFE INTO AND INVEST IN POSITIVELY AND GENUNINELY.
I FELT THAT SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE TO UPLFIT, ENCOURGE, INSPIRE, AND EMPOWER US AND WITH 2 DAUGHTERS, WHAT BETTER WAY THAN ALLOW MY PEN TO SPEAK OUR WORTH AND OUR TRUTH?
I WANTED THEM TO GET THAT IT DOESN’T ONLY HAVE TO COME FROM SOMEONE THEY KNEW, INTIMATELY.
BLACK, FEMALE AND AMERICAN IS A SEASON, LEVEL, CHAPTER AND BOOK WE BLACK WOMEN CAN PARTICIPATE IN AND SHARE EACH OTHER’S STORY AND JOURNEY AND NOT MISS A BEAT.
I WAS READING THIS BOOK CALLED, “SHOWING MARY” BY RENITA WEEMS AND THAT ALONG WITH STANDING ON THE FRONTLINE FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM, EQUALITY, AND RIGHTS INSPIRED ME TO CLEARLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WERE MISSING AMONGST US, AUTHENTIC SISTAHHOOD.
ALLOW ME TO SHARE THESE WORDS WITH YOU THAT IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK SHOWING MARY….
YOU NEED A CO-JOURNEYOR, NOT A SPECTATOR AND WHEN YOU FIND ELIZABETH, BRING SOMETHING TO THE RELATIONSHIP OTHER THAN JUST YOUR NEED FOR WHAT SHE HAS TO OFFER YOU.
BEFRIEND ELIZABETH WOMAN TO WOMAN.
THAT IS, HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER.
COMPLEMENT HER WISDOM WITH YOUR ENTHUSIASM.
BALANCE HER WILLINGNESS TO SHARE ADVICE WITH YOUR WILLINGNESS TO TEACH HER NEW SKILLS.
MARY CAME AS MUCH TO SUPPORT ELIZABETH IN HER OWN PREGNANCY AS TO PULL WISDOM FROM HER.
GO FIND ELIZABETH.
WHEREVER ELIZABETH IS, SHE IS NOT FAR FROM WHERE I AM RIGHT THIS MOMENT.
SHOW HER TO ME.
SHOW ME TO HER.
SHOW US TO EACH OTHER.
I THANK YOU FOR THE LOYALTY AND THE LOVE OF THE ELIZABETHS I ALREADY HAVE IN MY LIFE.
DEEPEN THOSE BONDS SO WE MIGHT CONTINUE TO GROW TOGETHER.
I AM LATHERED IN RICH GRATEFULNESS THAT I HAVE FOUND YOU!
WHEN I GO TO HOSPITALS, I ALWAYS FIND BLACK WOMEN AND SLIP THEM NOTES TELLING THEM JUST HOW MULTI TALENTED, MULTI SKILLED, MULTI GIFTED, IMPORTANT, VALUABLE, NEEDED, AWESOME, CARING, SELFLESS, COMPASSIONATE AND EMPOWERINT THEY ARE.
Now, I want to start PROJECTS 2 PINNACLE and focus on NICU moms with other moms added.
These powerful women not only have LIFE ALTERING stories, screenplays, oratory pieces and lyrics to write but they also have NO MOMMA GIRAFFE to kick them across the desert.
There comes a time when we MUST grasp the fact our children are grown.
Some of us look with disgust, regret and pain while others pride, amazement and appreciation for the job we have done in cultivating the fruit of our labor.
Today, I got the opportunity to see the investment the hub made pay off.
Our son is one of the most compassionate, loving and emotional young men and it’s because of this man he calls ever so honorably,  DAD.
The baby is in the NICU and it pained him to see their MIRACLE hooked up to tubes and not be able to fix it.
The love he has shown the mother of his son is something to be admired but expected because of the example he had.
To see this little miracle and the movement to the voice of his dad was something I can’t even toss the alphabet up high enough and allow them to land and it is IN NO RIGHT order to convey the love I saw and felt.
After marching, chanting, learning, reading about, listening to and being empowered by you, I KNEW I HAD TO ADD YOU, YOU WOULD BE THE ONE.
Yes, I choose women at random.
I pick BLACK WOMEN at random who motivate me, inspire me, encourage me and zap back into me my reason WHY I am passionate about family, women, our community and especially education.
The majority of the women I have NEVER EVER met personally but it was your: STRONG DETERMINATION, STRONG WILL, STRONG RESILIENCE, STRONG EMPOWERMENT, STRONG LIFE, AND STRONG RESILIENCE TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT DREW ME TO YOU.
YEP, YOUR journey is indeed OUR JOURNEY.
YOU stood out to me and YOU got my mind reelin, pen wieldin and ink splatterin for three reasons: YOUR COMPASSION, YOUR DESIRE TO EDUCATE AND HEAL, AND YOUR LEADERSHIP and I began to toss high up the 26 letters and allowed them to land as they may.
Behind ALL THREE are an unexplainable amount of strength, tenacity, and determination to get what you know our people need and deserve and that is FULL CITIZENRY AND LIBERATION.
It will NOT be published.
It is just a book of phenomenal BLACK and BROWN WOMEN that I CHOOSE that has shaped MY life on this journey towards OUR liberation and how our feet intertwined that MY two girls should know.
YOU DON’T KNOW ME intimately and I DON’T KNOW YOU BUT SINCE YOU CHOSE TO MAKE MY DAUGHTERS INVISIBILITY VISIBLE WITH THEIR MOM, WE ARE SISTERS OF THE MOVEMENT NOW.
BLACK AND A WOMAN IN AMERICA, WE ARE JUST MAGICAL.

THIS BOOK BY MARY J. BLIGE IS THE SOUL OF PROJECTS 2 PINNACLE.

IT IS MY POSITION WHEN IT COMES TO MARY IN THE BIBLE.

MARY IN THE BIBLE WAS WALKING AROUND WITH JESUS WITHIN

MARY IN THE BIBLE WAS WALKING AROUND WITH THE GREAT MESSIAH WITHIN

MARY IN THE BIBLE WAS WALKING AROUND WITH EXCEPTIONALISM WITHIN

MARY IN THE BIBLE WAS WALKING AROUND WITH GRETNESS WITHIN

MARY IN THE BIBLE WAS WALKING AROUND WITH MAD GIFTS WITHIN

MARY IN THE BIBLE WAS WALKING AROUND WITH COVETED GIFTS WITHIN

MARY IN THE BIBLE WAS WALKING AROUND WITH DESIRED BY ALL SKILLS WITHIN

MARY IN THE BIBLE WAS WALKING AROUND WITH INTELLECTUALISM WITHIN

YET, SHE DIDN’T KNOW THIS UNTIL ELIZABETH TOOK HER UNDER HER WINGS, UNTIL ELIZABET BEGAN EXPOSING HER, EXTRACTING FROM HER AND BUILDING HER UP AND UPROOTING THAT WHICH WAS WITHIN, INVESTING IN HER VISION, POURING OVER HER GOODNESS, BELIEF AND BUILDING HER ESTEEM UNTIL SHE WAS ABLE TO STAND ALONE.

Y’all!

“Y’all called Trayvon Martin a criminal and said he shouldn’t have fought back.

Y’all said he shouldn’t have been out that late…in his parent’s fucking neighborhood.

Y’all called him a thug.

Y’all said Tamir Rice shouldn’t have been playing with a toy gun.

Y’all said he shouldn’t have been at the park alone…forgetting that MOST of OUR childhoods were spent playing in various places without adult supervision.

Y’all said Ahmaud Arbery shouldn’t have been in that neighborhood, shouldn’t have been in the construction site.

Y’all said he should have complied with the men who literally ran him down like a dog and murdered him in the street.

Y’all said Breonna Taylor shouldn’t have known the man that police were looking for, the same man they already had.

Y’all said her boyfriend shouldn’t have fired shots after their door was busted down in the middle of the night with no indication who was coming into their house.

Y’all said Amber Guyger was justifiably scared when she went into the wrong apartment and murdered Botham Jean.

Y’all said George Floyd deserved to die for past crimes that he already served his sentences for.

Y’all said Philando Castile shouldn’t have had the gun that he legally purchased, carried, and informed the officer of when that officer told him to reach for his ID and then murdered him.

When the Central Park 5 maintained their innocence, y’all said they were obviously guilty.

When the man who would become the President demanded they remain in jail AFTER they were exonerated, y’all applauded him.

Every time a black man, woman, or child dies at the hand of some bitch trigger happy cop or some piece of shit person, y’all will extrapolate, insinuate, and justify as much as you can why that person should be dead.

Y’all will place the blame on the victim and exonerate the murderer.

But when a 17 year old kid crosses state lines with a weapon he is not legal to possess, intentionally places himself within the protest, shoots someone, runs away, and then shoots two more people who attempted to subdue him for shooting the first person, then walks calmly right by police, and goes back home to another state after taking someone’s life, y’all call him a hero.

Y’all say he did nothing wrong.

Y’all say it was self defense. Even though HE illegally crossed state lines with a weapon, even though HE intentionally went looking for trouble, even though HE fully intended to pull the trigger, y’all are willing to defend him.

Y’all never said he should have complied with the people chasing him, like you said about Ahmaud Arbery.

Y’all never said he shouldn’t have been there, like you did about Tamir Rice and Trayvon Martin.

Y’all never said he shouldn’t have had a gun, like you did about Philando Castile.

This is why we say Black Lives Matter. This is why we take to the street and demand accountability. We never said other lives didn’t also matter. We said our lives don’t matter to you. Because they don’t.

Y’all prove that every day.

Y’all reinforce it every time you defend a murderer.

Y’all make it widely known that when the black life is lost, they somehow deserved it.

Y’all are quick to invoke abortion, but you don’t even care about the black lives that are already here, standing right next to you, let alone the ones yet to be born into a society that applauds the murder of black lives.

All my life, I have had to watch black men and women be profiled, harassed, beaten, unjustly arrested/incarcerated, and murdered, much of it on live tv.

I have had to listen to/see white people all around me justify the continuous murder of black lives at the hand of callous and cowardly white people, police and civilian alike.

I have had to restrain myself when I’m told that we should just comply, because y’all refuse to see and understand that whether we are innocent or guilty, whether we comply or not, our lives are forfeit and we are condemned.

Our blackness is an automatic target from the day we are born.

And yet we are regularly told how much America has changed.

We are regularly told how racism isn’t that big a problem…while actively being subjected to it.

We are regularly told, by people who have never experienced it, who have never been subjected to it, who have never had to fight against it, that it isn’t real.

And then we are told to trust and respect the same people who display it against us.

We are supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

We are supposed to have the right to due process.

But the repeated murders of unarmed black lives by police and the subsequent justification in the court of public opinion proves that we are not privy to those rights.

Kyle Rittenhouse will live to see his trial. He will be protected.

He will get adequate legal defense for the crimes he stands accused of.

Eric Garner didn’t.

George Floyd didn’t.

Philando Castile didn’t.

Sandra bland didn’t.

So many others didn’t.

Too many others didn’t.

Many more wont.

If you have never had to discuss with the mother of your mixed child how sadly glad you are that your son has more of her physical features than your own, so that he will not have that target on his back in this society, then you have zero room to speak to me on racial issues.

I do not say this for debate.

I will not debate it.

I will not answer any ignorant ass questions demanding an explanation of my words or experiences.

They are clear enough and if you cannot understand them, then you are part of the problem.

I will not expend what little energy I have left repeatedly explaining the same things over and over again to people who only seek to discredit black lives.

We fought a whole civil war and had a whole civil rights movement and the sad fact of the matter is that this country is the same as it ever was. It just hides its true face better.”

The new report says that they arrived at 3 and documented deceased 15 minutes later

The new report says that she died from severe spinal cord injury and dislocated neck.

Is the difference between the two reports responsibility?

Is the difference between the two reports accountability?

Is the difference between the two reports the courts?

Is the difference between the two reports dignity of who should get justice vs who shouldn’t?

Is the difference between the two reports humanity?

Is the difference between the two reports honesty?

What is the difference and why such big difference in the first documentation vs the second one?

After the Granny Midwives and the replacement of white

After the college scandal where the AFFLUENT.

RICH, MONIED are given UNEARNED titles, positions, salaries, access, opportunities and careers; this is EXACTLY the outcome of that.

THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY?

WHEN I PONDER THE PHRASE, THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY, AfriCAN AmeriCANS AND AfriCANS UNDER MEMORANDUM 46.

IT IS AN ILLEGAL WAY TO DENY OUR UNITY.

THEY SAY WE ARE UNABLE TO UNIFY, PLAN, MEET OR STRATEGIZE OUR LIFE, LIBERTY AND PURSUITS OF HAPPINESS.

THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY…….

THINK ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE DONE, ACCOMPLISHED, CREATED, INVENTED AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PAST 500 PLUS YEARS THAT ASSURED WHITE COMFORT, OPULENT LIVING, SUCCESS AND YEP, SECURITY.

WE ARE WELL AWARE THAT THERE IS NOTHING WEAK, LOW, MEDIOCRE OR AMATEUR OR SLOW ABOUT BLACKNESS.

NONE OF THE THINGS THEY UPHOLD AS TO WHY WE ARE WHERE WE ARE IS VALID.

IT IS ALL ABOUT OPPORTUNITY, ACCESS, INCLUSION AND FUNDING.

OUR OPPRESSION SECURES WHITENESS

OUR DEMOTION SECURES WHITENESS

OUR LACK OF KNOWING THE LANGUAGE, LINGO, COMMUNICATION OF WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY WHITES SECURES WHITENESS

OUR POVERTY SECURIES WHITENESS

OUR LACK SECURES WHITENESS

Triple Threat!

Learning Loss Lies is simply amazing to me when describing inner city children.

Our children and their families have masterfully, intentionally, purposefully learned how to maneuver through a country hell bent on oppressing, denying, rejecting, excluding, secluding, omitting and eliminating them in the guise of laws, rules, codes, order, policies, and legislation.

Our children they describe know how to use an USB to steal cars.

Our children they describe know how to take their innate brilliance, ingenuity, gifts and mad skills and use it to hurt, harm and stunt their own people’s growth.

Now what if we shifted their thinking and energies to what we Black folks are familiar?

White Women Hysteria

America have constructed laws, rules, codes mandates, legislation and policies to exclude, deny, reject, oppress and omit us for so long they (White Women) are tripping.

White Women literally think that they will be stripped, denied, rejected and omitted in things that they have benefitted from because of stolen identity, looting and all other forms of taking things that they never earned.

WHITE WOMEN conceive, nurture, protect, birth and raise children that they are afraid and then allow racist, disrespectful and hurtful speech and actions to be heard, seen, taught, embraced and perpetuated.
WHITE WOMEN have their oppressive and abusive men to dictate unto them.
WHITE WOMEN are responsible for their irate and tantrum throwing toddlers under the guise of freedom of expression (NO, IT IS CALLED DISRESPECT AND RUDENESS where I am from AND MOMMA IS ALWAYS HONORED AND RESPECTED)
WHITE WOMEN know to stay in their places and keep their views to themselves when it comes to their ignorant and abusive men and children.
WHITE WOMEN are complicit in all of this crap we are facing in 2022.
WHITE WOMEN know that they have verbally abusive children and spouses and the coddle it.
WHITE WOMEN know that they have out of control children and spouses but we aren’t afraid of them.
WHITE WOMEN know they have off the chain offsprings and spounses who are ignorant AF.
WHITE WOMEN are the cultivators of hatred, harm and danger to all others who aren’t white.
NOW WHITE WOMEN are in our BLACK schools teaching our children these things that is setting them up to return in body bags.
NOW WHITE WOMEN are speaking over our BLACK children that level of disrespect, rudeness, and inconsideration they have always exhibited.
NOW WHITE WOMEN are guiding our BLACK children down a dark, lonely and cold path that is unfamiliar to our culture.
NOW WHITE WOMEN have access to our BLACK children, our BGLACK community and our BLACK families.
When will BLACK WOMEN declare enough?
When will BLACK WOMEN come out of the shadows?
When will BLACK WOMEN DEMAND our place?
When will BLACK WOMEN understand our power in unity?
When will BLACK WOMEN no longer be invisible?
When will BLACK WOMEN snatch the mics AND megaphones?
When will BLACK WOMEN get that we have come this far because of BLACK WOMEN?
