I am learning why I must be patient when it comes to planting the seeds. For some seeds take a long time to grow like trees from the roots out of the ground until they touch the sky, and some are like bulbs that sprout up after a few weeks. Some need more water than others and some only need a few drops, but I still need to give them the time that they require to grow. For example, as I was going about my day having my first book signing event, I ran into another soul. And, this soul recogn
One Trillion Dollars! Earlier this month, Apple executives announced their 42-year-old company is worth One trillion dollars.
For those unsure how to write one trillion dollars, there is a one followed by 12 zeros.
Today, some believe Apple changed the world with its products. Still, there are quite a few who get along fine without Apple. For the rest, the company is a game-changer.
Apple went public in 1980, and for $22, anyone could buy a share. Duri
We all realize that the media really knows how to do a good job at painting Black people in a certain light. They are good at convincing us to hate on each other, and good at convincing us that nothing will ever change. But I disagree, because I was able to create a profound change in my own life by using the power of my mind. And I know without a doubt that we all have the power to change, if that is what we truly desire. So, I published my book to show them the truth about who we are, and th

Research recently published, 2008, suggests that deceptive communication can serve a functional purpose. The study revealed that a person's motivation to deceive is influenced by his or her/his cultural self-identity [and] that one's cultural identity greatly influences whether a message was perceived to be deceptive.
The research points out that:
-- People who strongly valued their own individuality over the social relationships reported having a lo

How white women use strategic tears to silence women of colour

The legitimate grievances of brown and black women are no match for the accusations of a white damsel in distress.

FOR EXAMPLE:
When Hurricane Katrinia struck New Orleans, leaving the dead floating in the street and the living stranded on highways and rooftops, a huge crowd of mostly black and poor people descended on the city’s convention centre, where the cameras, but little else, were waiting. When asked why relief organisations had been caught off guard, the hapless director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael Brown, responded: “We’re seeing people that we didn’t know exist.” Since t
The Israeli military said 20 rockets were fired at its positions in the occupied Golan Heights overnight.
It responded by launching what a spokesman called "one of the broadest aerial operations in recent years".
There was no immediate comment from Iran, whose deployment of troops to Syria to back the government in the country's civil war has alarmed Israel.
Iran has repeatedly called for an end to the existence of the Jewish state.
As long as black women need to get their hair "did", and black men need to get lined up, we will always come together in the "Shop" or around kitchen tables to share the latest news.
No matter how many social networks like Myspace, Facebook and Twitter spring up they will never replace Low tech media such as The Barbershop,The Beauty Salon & Kitchentalk.
On this video, Software and Mobile App developer Anari Sengbe, illustrates this point when after his days of disruptin
Just a reminder.
Your life is an open book.
No matter how high you rise or how low you go;

We must begin to let go of anyone and anything that does not serve our purpose if we want to achieve elevation. This was one of the most important lessons that I had to learn through my journey. Because I discovered that when I was holding on what I thought I needed, it was preventing me from finding what I truly needed. I also found that our gro

Some have the belief,
Absolutely some of those tactical and strategical solutions require mental reprogramming and behavior modification.
The Black community didn’t create fiat money or its banking system. Therefore, we're clueless when dealing with it. The system terrorizes and traumatizes others, crushing them under the weight of insurmountable financia
It all begins with the character. The story has its genesis in the character. Without the character - there is no story.
Whenever I'm having a problem writing fiction, ( or even in my own life) I know I have to return to the protagonist.

Creative Minds Have the Power to Heal
By: Kween Yakini
Creative minds were born to be different
For our purpose is to touch others with our light
And creative thinkers will continuously evolve
Because we are the ones who make the others think
And we usually have awareness of many things
Because we always take notice of our surroundings
So, our perspectives are constantly expanding
We are i
