Summer of Peace Rally with Common

There is no need for you or your kids to be standing in front of a judge with no honor. It is time for you to be proactive in your community. For those who love to sing and dance to the antithesis of this Peace March, please stop passing lies around to yourself. If you really believe that people in melanated communities do not engage in this kind of peace against violence, you need to visit Saint Sabina Church.

Melanated people have always called out gun violence. Sometimes it doesn't make the headlines on the news. This particular church always uses their voice and spiritual power to exert community engagement into their community. None of the decent people in melanated communities want their kids getting killed by stray bullets. In light of a church being on every corner on the south side of Chicago, at least there are some leaders putting in the work to say NO THANKS to those who recklessly make our communities unsafe.

June 14, 2024. Save the date.

Civic Engagement is For Your Kids

Congresswoman, Robin L. Kelly has a newsletter that I encourage you to join if she represents you. Kelly initiated a Congressional Youth Cabinet (CYC) to get our young people involved in public service and policy. If you have children in high school who are juniors and seniors, please encourage them to apply for this opportunity. It most likely will aid them in their future endeavors as leaders.

The deadline to apply for a Congressional Youth Cabinet member is June 14, 2024. You can apply here.

I Am Her (Yo Soy Ella)

I am her! You are too! Women are the main source of nutrients imperative to everyone born into this world. You know that sparkling brown skin magic have poured into your life! No denying needed. Even if some women aren't moms or womb breeders, they are natural nurturers in our society. We don't always know how taking care of all folks in a village can affect your mental well-being when you put everyone before you. These are the ingredients women are made of. What happens when women fall into the traps of domestic violence?

Yo Soy Ella is a great resource and non-judgmental support for women of color. Representation will always matter. If you are seeking help for domestic violations or mental wellness tap into Yo Soy Ella. Empower yourself today.

Good Man with Good Standards 
​
The nerve is this man to wash his lady's hair because she was not feeling up to doing it. Are you kidding me? I think I just fell in love with somebody's husband, God. Please forgive me (lol). This is such a sweet sensation. I wish all women connected to me can experience love like this. This is lovely with pieces of wonderful dripping around the edges of it. I applaud him. Good men give up selfishness and stubbornness to do goodness to their partners. We can all learn something from this post. He is serving her. I am sure she serves him as well. Whatever happened to serving each other?

Can We Say Black Cowboys (Gurl Bye)

This lady needs to know and understand who the real cowboys were. Beyonce is within her rights to sing anything and everything she desires. Whitewashing your history is the problem. The thing I want to focus on is the point that no one in this American country has to worry about women and men in the medical profession like her but melanated people. You most likely would not have to worry about this kind of nurse, doctor or your dentist having these kinds of feelings towards you and also providing a service to you if you're white. Perhaps even if your skin is white. People of color do. Black folks, African Americans or whichever the name you deem necessary for yourself, are the only ones who have to be cautious in the medical field with all women and men like her and everywhere else. Dr, King said it best. If Europeans have any ailments in this world, black folks get double the portion of that. It is unfortunately still valid today. 

​Europeans probably do not have to endure what melanated people go through because they are European. They are BELIEVED no matter what. If so, the probability of that happening is at a minimum because melanated doctors or professionals in the medical field do not exhibit hate. They're not part of that system. Can you ever imagine living in a world that is dominated by people who do not look like you and you are always reminded of it with incidents like this. Especially in the medical field, in the justice system, and in most areas in life. This is terrible, and it is an issue that haunts black folks daily. We become subject to the normalcy of it all. Those people who do not like brown skin people should not be allowed to participate in serving our communities. Period.

​Bad Decisions More Convictions 

What can we do to prevent these stories from occurring because it is antiquated at this point. Then, the prosecutors and the judges who placed them there don't have the grace nor the diplomacy to apologize. They don't care. If the skin color is melanated they really do not care. There has to be a new form of discipline in our American judicial system. Why didn't they look at the evidence? If you are a judge and you know the individuals are not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, why are you allowing these convictions? I know you guys sleep well at night, but I really do not understand how? Putting innocent men in jail and having them return back into society after 20/25 years is pure wickedness. Keep the innocent out and work on those that should actually be incarcerated. I understand most people could care less unless it happens to someone they love in their family or circle. We all should care. What affects one affects us all. Are you guys paying attention in this world of 2024?

I Approve This Frequency 

I understand what he is saying but I do not agree with all the words coming out of his mouth. There is a different frequency right here. I do think human beings are encouraged to learn how to spend time with themselves. What about you? Are you strong and always alone?

MALCOLM X

If you are young, black and gifted in this year's class of 2024 Malcolm X would tell you that "The World Is Yours" but to proceed with caution, due to the melanin that you rock and wear so hard! Nothing can stop you. They might try but it won't work.

To articulate that Malcolm X was a great leader is certainly an understatement. The fearlessness Malcolm X rocked is an indelible mark in the hearts of many black and white Americans who studied his full life. Malcolm X was an epic soldier. Even if you do not believe as he did, you have to respect the fight and power he personified as an organizer of freedom and justice for black people. Poignantly speaking, brother Malcolm is the prime example why we as a society cannot give up on our young people (pull your pants up young men). Take a little time to get to know the vicissitudes of his life before and after he became a Muslim. Malcolm X has an abundance of Sancti-Fly History. ​✊🏾🖤

TO ALL OF THE 2024 GRADUATE CLASS, THE WORLD IS YOURS! ✊🏾🖤

Go out there and fly higher. Use your gifts, knowledge and talents to fight against all of these negative spirits in our world. You are charged with making it better. Do not compromise. Stay focused and remain strategic in your moves and plans. Fight against this medical warfare within the medical field. These hospitals need to be held accountable for all the seen and unseen things they do. Think about Henrietta Lacks. They just took her cells without her consent. Before, you sing about "it being so long ago" please just stop that unpopular tune, because they are still doing these things. Why do they want a pregnant woman's placenta? It is hers, not the hospital. What is it all about? Shake up these systems. If you do not, things will stay the same. Please don't get me started on the other things that these hospitals do. Listen to a little advice. It is certainly not working well to continue lying and stealing from history. That is what we call theft. You're a thief. Your grandchildren and kids are learning the truth. Wacha gonna do when the truth bites you? Straighten out your back and fight, right? Yes! Fight against all of this economic warfare, oppression. You can make it all happen. All things trickle around money and poverty. Yet the Supreme Court ruled to remove race from the admission process, therefore shortening the small pool of melanated people from attending schools of their choice. I surmise they just want all of the same folks in their institutions. These are some of the ingredients you have to change. They're not going to live forever so when you see the open seat take it. Take it so that this criminal justice system can be used righteously. No more innocent men or women plus boys and girls trapped in jail for crimes these judges know they did not do. Become the judicial system of reform.  

Dear Class of 2024,
​
You have to care about the seniors. You have to advocate against any form of hate and racism. You have to protect our civil liberties. You have to be better than your family members that are in congress. If you're interested in becoming a politician change the old mission to that new righteous one. You have to do these things and more because you are the lost pieces of humanity we need! 

​​​Years ago, when I first witnessed people on social media posting the words "Mood" on their social media platforms, I often wondered why they posted that, or what it meant? Now I totally get it.

We declare VICTORY over your life! As we manifest it, we continue to fight and pray. We win! We see, feel, believe, and DECREE it into existence. The best part is...we are not alone. Legions of angels are always by our side! This song is highly recommended for you! Empower your spirit, now!

Did you realize that you were a champion in Yah's eyes? Well, you are! Kanye knew. Go ahead and bask in your spiritual power. Yahweh gave it to you. USE IT.

Its ok to wonder! This is one of Ye's best songs ever in my opinion. Listen to the words because you're going to be alright. You're going to make it young man, young lady. 

"I always had a passion for flashing before I had it, I closed my eyes and imagined it!" 

Imagination is so good for you!  It is healthy for your braincells. Go ahead and see yourself surrounded with goodness and by all the good things you deserve. Remember, having a good life isn't just about material things. It can also be about the wisdom, healing, peace, and love in abundance 

Let me allow you to know (just in case you didn't know) that you are a conqueror! No matter what you go through or how hard life gets, God created your before and after to overcome it all. You're more than a conqueror. Marinade in the lyrics of this song. Whew! 

I need you to survive. Those beautiful people connected to your destiny need you to survive too. Don't focus on any naysayers or those who don't believe in you. You will survive. Speak it over your own life. Let this song minister to your soul.

Yahweh (God) purposely created herbs to help us heal our bodies. Please Pray for a disciplined mind so you can incorporate more herbs into your body.

I have to share this fourth edition of Pandora Jazz. I am not pleased at this very moment that I have to be up at 2am venting. Thankfully, it is therapeutic to get my thoughts out. I find that it helps, in addition to the space and setting I am in right now. Unless you are mind readers you never really know what folks are going through. I have a love/hate relationship with Pandora right about now! (Lol)

Miracles (Kool & Clean)

Kool & Clean has some of the best jazz for you to relax to. It is 1am and I wish for more miracles in your life for you NOT to be awaken out of your sleep. That would be wonderful. Especially when you sleep in peace EVERY NIGHT. Others just want the same. Can you empathize with that? I feel, believe, speak, and see into existence peaceful sleep over my life and yours at ALL TIMES not just once in a while or sometimes! 🙏🏿

Until The Break of Dawn (Brian Simpson)
​
​Welcome to more great jazz tunes with Brian Simpson. Um, no thank you with all of that "until the break of dawn stuff" Brian. We need our rest! Black love surely does rock but not that much! You need to be mindful of others. Period!

Morning Magic (Larry Carlton)

May you be blessed with great morning magic of a peaceful rest; morning prayer and positive thoughts even if negative energy tries to interrupt that. Larry Carlton is a jazz musician that understands all of this. You have to give Larry some of your listening ears.

What's Going On

Exactly, what is going on in your community? A lot of things have changed but not the serenity of great jazz music.

No Stress At All (Paul Hardcastle)

Paul wishes you a stress-free life. I second that motion. Listen to Paul. May you forever sleep in a peaceful environment and receive the best rest, especially when you give it to others. May those who try to distract and disturb your peace reap all they have sown. Stay focused in having a stress-free life. Your gifts look good on you. Work your grace. Amen!

Dear Yahweh,

What is the lesson in all of this? I really need to know. Thank you!
