Why I Published My Book

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

GOING BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

GOING BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN   When I was a child I loved writing short stories because it felt like I was transporting my mind to another world.  And when I was a teenager I got involved in the Hip Hop Scene and I began writing verses and rhymes just for fun.  Then I stopped writing, and I tried doing all the things that I thought would bring me happiness like work, family, and so on.  But my creative energy always kept rising up inside me.  So, I tried doing Arts and craft, and s

FREE YOUR MIND FROM TOXIC ENERGY

FREE YOUR MIND FROM TOXIC ENERGY     http://kweenyakini.blogspot.com/2018/04/free-your-mind-from-toxic-energy.html     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

Being a Black Girl

BEING A BLACK GIRL By:  Kween Yakini   Please don’t tell her that she’s too pretty to be a Black Girl Don’t let her think that life would be better       if she wasn’t so Black Now I even hear some Africans bleach their skin      because they think Dark skin is wack Can you imagine that? I just don’t understand why some Black Girls       don’t love being Black  And why some would rather lighten their complexion      cause they want to be anything other than dark bl

Be Patient When Planting The Seeds

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

"Brave Submission" (c) 2018

SHE IS A MAN EATER BUT SHE KILLS THEM WITH KINDNESS     She Said:     I am Impressed by your Confidence And you must be the Bravest of Hearts If you dare enter my Room Some men never come this close For they fear it will be their Doom Because this is the place where a  Lion’s Heart may be consumed   And most men can’t fathom all the Hidden Gala
