Yesterday, I went to worship with my God mom/sister and a guest minister was there by the name of Rev. Willie L. Wilson. When he said he didn’t have anything other than a 7th grade education, THAT is when I knew he had something powerful to share with my girls and I AND HE DID.

As I listened to him, watched his mannerism and embodied his Southern dialect, and hospitality; he reminded me so much of my dad. When Sister Wilson told us of his journey, I really beamed and prayed that my daughters listened to what was said and NOT said.

Listen but when she got on the history of those OVERALLS, I never thought of it from the position she spoke. When you say my dad and OVERALLS, that was his attire, DIRTY and the SAME ONES until my mom  got sick and tired of them and then he would finally go and get one. He was a loan shark, he had men to come to the house and gamble but he made sure their women and children were taken care of. They would come and loan money and after he “cursed them out” he gave them and he had property and housed the unhoused but he looked dirty, drank Folgers and looked out on the porch ALL DAY EVERY DAY and his mornings started at 4:00am. Talking about THE FRESH PART OF WAKING UP, IS FOLGER’S IN YOUR CUP! My dad was fresh.

Overalls would sing I’ve Gone Through The Fire and I’ve Been Through The Flood, I’ve Been Broken Into Pieces, Seen Lightening Flashing From Above BUT THROUGH IT ALL, I REMEMBER THAT HE LOVED ME AND HE CARED, AND HE’LL NEVER PUT MORE ON ME, THAN I CAN BARE!

I had a motive and a purpose; it was not the money because I could have gotten that for myself and been satisfied; it was not position, because I could have got that for myself. What is it? It was the crying voice from the grave that said, “Garvey, we have suffered for 250 years for your day and for your time; we expect something from you at this hour.” Dr. Marcus Garvey

“The general rule is that there is profit in confusion; the more confusion, the more profit. Therefore, the best approach is to create problems and then offer the solutions.” Milton William Cooper

“Media: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real social issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance.” Milton William Cooper

“Schools: Keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real economics, real law, and REAL HISTORY.” Milton William Cooper

“As the transition becomes more difficult to manage, the family unit must be carefully disintegrated, and state-controlled public education and state-operated child-care centers must become more common and legally enforced so as to begin the detachment of the child from the mother and father at an earlier age.” Milton William Cooper

WHITE FOLKS DENIED US THROUGH: LAWS, RULES, CODES, POLICIES, MANDATES AND LEGISLATION

WHITE FOLKS DEFUNDED US THROUGH: LEGISLATION

IN OUR QUEST TO DO WHAT WE LIKED, WILLED AND PREFERRED IT WAS THROUGH OUR STRONG DETERMINATION WE DID IT, PARTICIPATED IN IT, AND FOUND A WAY AROUND THE MONEY THAT WAS CREATED TO OMIT, REJECT, DENY AND EXCLUDE US

WE DEFIED ALL THE ODDS STACKED AGAINST US

WE DEBUNKED ALL OF THE LIES AND ERRONOUS  NARRATIVES

WE ENTERED ON THE COURTS AND FIELDS AND IN ANY  GYM AND DOMINATED ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING WE SET OUR MINDS TO DO

He let it all hang out and rightfully so.

What has change?

“At that time it was never acceptable that a black player was the best. That did not happen. That’s like all the baseball players in the Negro leagues. They were never considered Hall of Famers or anything like that, although we found out later that they were just as good, if not better, than the so-called famous.”

IN SPITE OF THE PROFESSIONALISM

THE FOCUS WAS ON CAREGIVERS

MY MENTOR TAWANDA STORY SHARED HER JOURNEY WITH HER FATHER AND LET US IN ON WHAT WE USED TO BE ABOUT AS A COMMUNITY: GIVING CARE, GIVING LOVE, GIVING PATIENCE, GIVING COMPASSION, GIVING SUPPORT, GIVING US, ALL OF US

WHEN DEATH COMES, THAT IS WHN THE NEIGHBORS START hen death comes, THAT is when the NEIGHBORS start delivering the cards, food, beverages, visits, calls, text messages “steal aways” and LOVE is shown by them.

Dementia- A decline in memory, reasoning, or other thinking skills.

I heard Tawanda Story say the word MANY times but this time I heard her use the word with a different set of ears, eyes and heart.

We has a people have SELECTIVE DEMENTIA.

We know we are a moral people.

We know we are an upstanding people.

We know we are an educated people.

We know we are a civil people.

We know we are a pride filled people.

We know we are a disciplined people.

We know we are a superior people.

We know we are a exceptional people.

We know we are a confident people.

We know we are a highly skilled people.

We know we are an innately gifted people.

We know we are a creative people.

We know we are a innovative people.

We know we are a determined people.

We know we are a driven people.

Yet, we look unfamiliar, we sound unfamiliar and we act unfamiliar.
