✊🏿 ✊🏾 Collectively as a country, we have all been through a lot this past year. We are survivors. There are plenty of people doing better but a great majority are not. There are a lot of suffering and hardships currently present. Healing has to take place and have its perfect way, I pray! The right song can definitely soothe your mood. Music has the power to make us feel hopeful and encouraged. This year my theme is still liberation for melanated people to be equal. Our interest is still resistance because as black folks we are fighting for the same freedoms our forefathers fought for. Our elders and ancestors helped build this country. We get no respect as black American citizens. We have been making noise, protesting, writing, calling our state legislators, oh and using our influence and voices for solutions to bring changes but our petitions have been ignored by both parties. This country hides history, then when the time is right for them, everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon to talk about Juneteenth or The Tulsa Race Riots. This 2021 Black Music Month edition represents songs I selected on purpose to help soothe a lot of our mental moods. Things we encounter as a group of dark melanated people is exhausting. It drains us mentally! We still do not have equal protection under the law, just like our ancestors didn't. Nothing against the Asian community but how were they so lucky to get an executive order passed quickly for them (Asian Hate Bill)? We have been asking for justice against a lot of these racist policies since we came out of our mother's womb and still, nothing! We surely did not need another federal holiday! Those who knew about Juneteenth always celebrated it without permission to do so! We want freedom to be and to exist. We do not have that. Freedom means we are able to breathe without the stones of privilege affecting our lungs. Freedom = I can sleep in my car, in a public park without being harassed by racist cops.

The end of Black Music Month is near. Remember that you can always get good music in our culture. Black Music Month is exactly what it states. It is designed to esteem black music and black culture (black excellence). We demand the liberty and justice that America wrote down on paper be applied to the lives of folks with extra melanin in their skin. Which they had no part in. They were born like that! If you have an issue with the way black folks were created, please talk to Yahweh about it. God is the creator of life. It is so sad how conditioned we all are when it comes to skin color. Not when it comes to our music! We were born in America too! As pointed out in the HuffPost, the idea for June to be selected as Black Music Month came from President Jimmy Carter. It was further pushed into legislation by music producer Kenny Gamble and his ex-wife Mrs. Dyana Williams. Dyana is known as the Godmother of Black Music Month as noted by Ebony.✊🏿 ✊🏾

This first song is part of our black national anthem classic list. It simply states we are every day people just like you. We understand that as melanated individuals, when you see us you judge us by our skin color or our hair styles which is very unfortunate on your part. We are the same just like you. We love our community just like you. We sometimes don't all see eye to eye, just like you in your family or neighborhood. We love our boys and men just like you. We want to provide for our families just like you! If we hear this song anywhere our hands go straight up with "heys" and high fives! We connect with this song because it reminds us we are Every Day People, just like you. We matter!

Grace is something that we all need! Please take the time to listen to this gospel song! Allow it to minister to you. It will definitely calm your spirit for yourself and towards others. A lot of times I've noticed that some of us are so harsh towards each other when we don't have to be. I also have witnessed how we behave with each other but we will take that same situation if it involves Europeans and show them more grace and different energy or whatsoever else. Some of us indeed do this and I pray it stops. You know exactly what I'm talking about. I wonder who taught you to hate yourselves?  When I see us reacting in this way to each other all I can do is shake my head. We all need grace. Each day if you wake up, the grace of God (Yahweh) is given to you. Besides, in this world our people aren't given the same empathy and graces that others are granted so it is important to give it to each other.  

 Yes, life isn't always going to be easy so as Tupac said, we have to keep our heads up. Sometimes we break down and sometimes we manage to keep our heads up and keep on going. It is very discouraging when you are trying your best to walk up right but wicked folks are still trying to step on your neck. You can barely catch your breath. If you are a single parent, no matter the situation or circumstances, keep your head up. If you are a convicted felon released from prison trying to get back into this society, you served your time so keep your head up and try to renew your mind with positive energy. If you're the only person (melanated) in your department and you feel like you are being picked on or even isolated, keep your head up high. If you just started a business and you feel like it isn't taking off the way you wanted it to, don't you dare quit. Keep going! Your destiny is tied to helping someone else. It will all work out. Keep your head up. Whatever season you are in or going through, please listen to this song over and over again if you have to. You're going to overcome it all. You've got to keep your head up!

Yes! Do not let folks cripple you. You don't know how God is going to work it out for you or restore your life. There is no racism or hate stronger than the power of Yahweh's love for you. Those who plot against you or don't like you (who cares) don't know what's up God's sleeve for you either. Your enemy plans for your life shall stumble, fail and die! Yahweh will take care of them. God closes chapters and give you new ones. They might look up one day and your child is the judge or the warden they have to deal with, or their kids! Move on! Don't stay in the land of bondage. Believe and stay focused on doing the work. This song makes you feel like you can do it! Because you can!

It never cease to amaze me how they love our music and culture but still married to racism and white supremacy! Nevertheless, this Aretha Franklin song is about respect. It's another classic. I was raised to respect my elders and to exhibit it to all people. As I've grown into my womanhood I do not give respect to those folks who do not give it to me. I don't care who it is or how old. No thanks! As a group of melanated people, we are the least to receive respect. We have fought in the wars of this country. We have added to the rich history of this country by creating and inventing things. We have the most patriotic black folks in America even after how we were treated and still are being treated. All Aretha was saying was to show us some respect! Teach and train your kids this concept. They do not respect us because if they did our voting rights would not EVEN be under attack in 2021. Congress could use their executive powers to stop it. I'll wait... exactly, no respect!

We know who we trust so never let your faith go because troubles come and go! Listen to this song! Sometimes you're going through something and being in your flesh won't give you the peace of mind or the will to carry on. You have to tap into your spiritual realm. I personally feel that history is trying to repeat itself. I sometimes feel like I am living in the year 1950 or 1960. It is so shameful how we are treated as melanated people. Also, how we treat each other. Things are going to be alright! Fear and terrorism is infiltrating our communities by the po po (police) and by those folks who look just like us. There are too many killings and shootings but "we are going to be alright" somehow, someway. 

I concede, I used this song last year but I had to use it again. It is a piece of our great motivation and uplifting songs. After listening to this song and viewing the video, nothing will be able to stop you or discourage you. Black excellence will hit you hard! You will not be the same! This song helps to soothe your mood! I like how the director of this video paid homage to all of our ancestors and our unique blends of contributions made in this country by us. This song makes me proud. It makes me smile! It will do the same for you! This is our other black national anthem! You're going to feel all the love and respect you deserve. 

The word on the street is Black History! There is something for those who came to slay and for those folks who give honor to our ancestors for setting the stage for a new wave of Power Pretty Mamas and grace. Like Mama Mia, who wrote her vision by studying tiny individuals that helped her to change the narrative in learning digital strategies for our scholar babies new heritage. You're welcome to tasting and eating more Sancti-Fly treats where the hype of brother Malcolm's life is just ripe for exposure of truth. The crew already knew! Also, where the ugly symptoms of degradation became the positive application of a single black mom acute situation. I get that some folks will not engage in a bite of Black History. I know it doesn't Appeal to everybody's apetite. Its quite alright! What is not ok is the ongoing race problems that mentally harm the peace and tranquility of black folks. Whether it's on television networks or in the United States armed forces. African Americans have no choice but to remain consumed in hope, singing tunes like Black Is Beautiful Because, it is! Masticate on that! Please pay close attention to these important mentions.   

No Doubt Truth Comes Out (Like We Didn't Know)

I absolutely love Malcolm X and all the things he stood up for as far as the ability to fight for the civil rights of melanated American citizens. He gave his life for a Sancti Fly Mama like me. I sincerely appreciate this man. In most communities, especially in the black community, I often heard how law enforcement played a paramount role in the assassination of Malcolm X. They murdered Malcolm X. As the HuffPost points out, an undercover brother (black officer) by the name of Mr. Ray Wood confessed to alleging the New York City Police and the FBI joined the underhanded forces of wickedness towards the death of Malcolm X. Mr. Ray Wood confided in his cousin Reggie Wood before he died.

​The same liberty and justice tactics they used on Malcom X and his team are the same tactics they are using today against black people, specifically black men and boys. They were steadfast in their mission to lure Malcolm X security away from him so they could shoot to kill Malcolm X. Black folks have a long way to go as far as freedom being fully granted to them as American citizens. 

Endless Pieces of Disparity 

​Just wave your hands in the air (force) where disparities are rich and prevalent everywhere in the United States Air Force. The HuffPost explains how the inspector general investigation of the United States Air Force found data stating how black people serving on their team are more likely than any other group to be arrested, investigated, face disciplinary actions, and discharged for behaving badly (misconduct). The inspector general December report concluded that race indifferences (racial disparity) actually exists. I have only a few words for this mention. Blank stare. Like really! Here is a huge secret. Melanated black people, already knew this. It's something we are used to.

George Floyd was an American citizen murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin during an arrest on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mr. Floyd was in a local store buying some items. The cashier in the store called the police on Floyd over a $20 bill. It was allegedly a fake bill. The store clerk also stated that Floyd was acting erratic. Basically, Floyd died over 20 bucks. Please be extra cautious when you make that phone call to the police on someone. Depending on the police officer, it could be a deadly situation. You may not be comfortable living with knowing your phone call could possibly lead to another human beings' death. Also, with all the things going on with police killings in our communities (black people), I encourage all of us to talk to our family members and check up on our young people to avoid negative interactions, if at all possible. Mr. Chauvin kept his knee on George Floyd's neck for 9 minutes. Mr. George Floyd died as a result of Chauvin's actions. The video was recorded by a brave young teenager (Darnella Frazier). I urge all prayers sent up to keep Darnella safe against those folks who are irritated by her exploiting the truth. There were four male officers on the scene handling George Floyd. Yes, you heard me, four armed men! When it comes to the arrest of black boys and men, police officers are trained to fear them (men). It is understandable for any police officer to have back-up support when needed or when they pull someone over for a simple traffic stop. When the individuals are born with more melanin in their skin, the fear goes up. On April 20, 2021 Derek Chauvin was found guilty of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. When the verdict was announced a lot of people were happy and relieved he was convicted. Especially in the black community because we are so used to police officers getting away with killing our men and boys by articulating they "feared for their lives" or by their legal counsel saying they were doing what they were "trained to do." This time, those statements didn't work in Derek favor. There were police officers who testified against Chauvin's behavior. If you have viewed the videotape, you can witness how Derek Chauvin seemed to enjoy it! Derek Chauvin placed his hand in his pocket while keeping his knee on Floyd's neck even after the paramedics arrived to do their jobs. This man intentionally did it! The other unwise officers (Thomas Lane, Alexander Kueng, Tou Thao) just stood their and did absolutely nothing. They are all starting their trials in August of 2021. They were all charged with aiding and abetting.

I was watching the local news the night Derek Chauvin was convicted and heard one black man on the news crying. He said for the first time in history his life had mattered as a black man because a white police officer was convicted of killing a black man. Let's not jump for joy just yet. There are layers of systemic racism we have to deal with that we haven't dealt with. Why oh why, did the trial and murder of an American black citizen by the name of George Floyd move so many people to take political action? This isn't over until real police reform is put into law. We had black Americans being killed by the police during the George Floyd trial and it will continue to happen afterwards. If black men who were part of The Black Panther organization infiltrated law enforcement by becoming police officers, the FBI would shut them down. They would be quickly removed. The FBI has stated there are white supremacist and Neo Nazis infiltrating the American police stations and nothing has been done. Why? I'm sure our democrats and republicans are privy to this information if I know this! So why isn't these folks being removed? Why is it that these same officers can show so much restraint to people who look like them but with black boys and men they will instantly draw their guns? They do not hesitate to kill them! Why is that? We see white men hitting the police, running away from cops, and verbally cursing them out. We have often seen white men boldly stealing police cars and live to write about it. You know, RESISTING ARREST to the tenth power and nothing happens to them. White men are often taken alive. They are slow to shoot them for some reason. Experts and police officers testified in the George Floyd case that Mr. Floyd was on his stomach in handcuffs surrounded by a knee to his neck and by 3 other armed officers. What the hell could George have done? Why did it take all of that cruel force for this black man's life? They were supposed to sit George Floyd up so he could breathe and not deny him medical treatment. If George Floyd was your family member you wouldn't like it. Right? Let's just take race out for a minute. Bring back humanity, please! Those American police officers or race soldiers who are not representative of serving and protecting all Americans should not get any immunity when we continue seeing this pattern of killings on film because they don't qualify for it. What about all the lives we didn't catch on video? They also stain the image of the police officers who do their jobs right. The unfortunate death and murder of George Floyd is shaming America again. It is also showing black men and boys their lives do matter. As Coretta Scott King have stated, "Struggle is a never-ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation." 

Shall I begin with a beamish grin? I love seeing black women like Vice President Kamala Harris, Inaugural Poet Amanda Gorman, Stacy Adams, and Michelle Obama win! Impeachment is on the hearts and the minds of the nation but black women often change the narratives of history and continue to raise the vibration  in political representation. This may or may not Appeal to you. What about 100 million shots in the veins or a conversation about race? Are you ready to get uncomfortable? Are you prepared to talk about these thangs? Please pay close attention to these exceptional historic mentions.

The Real Deal =The Appeal

I employ you and encourage you to get linked up with The Appeal. Especially if you're in the criminal justice field, are law students, or politically savvy. Learn more about laws and politics in the mix that affect your community. We all know how crucial a State Attorney's job is. History has shown how biased attitudes of mostly white men and women (not all but most) have adjudicated the criminal cases of black and brown people coupled with racism, unjustly. The way this government allows the prisons to treat men and women, plus kids that are in jail is not cool. Why do we continue to act like we do not see everything wrong with trying black teenagers as adults? Democrats nor republicans have done nothing. The only time the words "we care" plays a part in their minds is when it's their family or friends. Throwing a 16 year old in an adult prison with men is not really reflective of being the home of the brave. Be courageous enough to look at black teens and kids who have troubling circumstances as you would white kids. Our kids deserve to have second chances as well. These individuals have family members that love them because that's what families do. They have human rights. We should all be concerned and involved in this criminal justice system. We know it hinges inside the belly of greed.  

When you read good information it is conducive for you to share it loudly with all individuals in need of it. This way, we can all stay in the loop on matters of mass incarceration, voting rights, new laws, policing, politics, criminal justice, and all things in between. As Americans you have to ask the questions of how and why are things continuing to happen with no accountability when it is all on tape. We have to do better Joe and Kamala. Subscribe to The Appeal. 

Black Girl Gorman Magic 

It's time to practice some black girl Gorman magic! Use this magic to the fullest extent to know you'll do exceedingly and abundantly well in all things you want to have or achieve. Spread this Amanda Gorman magic on your babies while they sleep. Give them some in the mornings to help them with their speech. Tell them and show them how you are going to parent better. Use some Gorman magic on yourself.  

Each time a black girl can rock her shine with inaugural pride, it gives us all a higher grade of praise to erase the stains of stigmas improperly added to us. Amanda Gorman is aware of who she is. She is a brown skin girl from Harvard. She is a poet, an author and a fighter for all that is right. She is an example for black girls everywhere. She is showing you to go ahead and do it too! Dream big and do it!

Let The Tough Conversations/Legislation Begin

President Biden expressed on his inaugural day that justice for all will no longer be deferred. He openly called out white supremacy and racial injustice. We shall see what he will do. The black community has been waiting for clean water in Flint Michigan. Police reform in every state has to be finalized. All the corruption in the criminal justice system needs to be reformed. What about reparations? Racism is also a virus. It effects the mental wellness of black people. We need to flush it out of the hearts and minds of Americans. We have to start the surgery. It starts at the top. Black Lives Matter! Even in this new administration.   

Mothers and women will dominate the month of May just by being who they are. May Yahweh continue to give us all a mind to love on our mothers. If your mom is not physically present with us, I thank you for holding on to those memories of your mom as you continue to live. That's what most moms would want you to do is live! I do know a few extraordinary women who lost their moms, men too. As hard as it is, they've found the strength to carry on. So will you! in this month of May, begin to protect your good vibrations on all occasions. Nurture it to the full glass of your worth. May everything you want and desire be yours! May miracles invade your life. May goodness prevail over any and all darkness. The fight to legalize our freedoms continues on the menu for black or for melanated people to be fully treated as equal. This case is now a major situation. It is not settled nor finalized. We are waiting for the part when "liberty and justice" for all begins to start. There are still free meals and great tasting free treats! I want to give a special shout-out to all the men and women, brothers, and sisters that have birthdays in May who are locked up. You matter and I am thinking about ALL of you.

Start this Sancti-Fly Prayer with the basics. Cover the May birthdays in your family. Pray for their health, pray for their strength, and protection for them and their families. Please pray for them daily! In addition to that, don't forget to pray about their level of spiritual maturity. Happy birthday to all of the Sancti-Fly Mamas, Papas, plus the young people in this new month of May 2021. ​

HEALTH AND STRENGTH

Father Yah, thank you for a praying spirit. Thank you for preserving the lives of these 2021 MAY birthdays (love days). Only your spirit shall reign, rule, and dominate their day. Nothing else shall be able to stand. Thank you for being the perfect beginning and ending of their strength as they wake and sleep in peace. Yah, as you blow your daily strength into these May birthdays' hands, legs, and joints, let them know it is your spirit that gives them the ability to lift, to eat, sit, and to clothe themselves. Thank you for loading these birthday celebrants with your daily benefits. Thank you Yahweh for being the author and completion of their faith to believe, to drown and to bleed in all the divine decrees promised towards their dreams. You make ways to heal every day openly and secretly as you breathe on the May birthdays (love days). Thank you Father for yielding an increase of healing their way as we use our energies to kill sickness to death and release healing over the lives of these May love days. Thank you Yah for letting these precious May birthdays know how rich and thick your refuge of strength is. So shall they bask in it; physically and mentally. I praise you, I lift you up and I exalt you for always taking care of these May birthdays. They shall be more courageous in this new season and not dismayed. Especially on their love days! If they tilt slightly to the left in weak, thank you for your hand turning them over in the position of strength. If they are faint, blow on them and replace it with your mercy, grace, and faith. These May birthdays shall remain firm and steadfast come what may. Let a thick portion of them know boldly that with you, "all things (strength and healing)"... and the other abundant portion of them know "are really possible." Thank you for letting these May  birthdays (love days) know that healing and strength was meant for them! All souls who are standing in the way of these May 2021 breakthroughs shall be quickly removed! Thank you Yah for consuming these May birthdays with extra dose of positive energy, the strongholds of faith, and a victorious mindset to take over their lives this month; the rest of this year! 

PROTECTION

Thank you Father Yahweh for guarding their ways and keeping them each and everyday day as your focus of protection. Let their enemies be ashamed and brought to a mutual confusion who rejoice over their life adversities. The hand of the wicked shall not drive them away. They shall soar higher and win their race. Nothing shall stop or block them. No racism, no sexism and no classism. Every negative form of energy, carjacking and witchcraft against these May birthdays shall be entered into their own hearts and their enemies bows shall be broken all over these May birthdays lives. I say thousands shall fall by their sides and ten thousand at their right hands but it (viruses, sickness) shall/will NOT come near these May birthdays (love days). Thank you Yah for your protection covenant covering these May birthdays (love days) and I extend this prayer to all of their love ones! Thank you Father Yahweh for giving your angels charge over these May birthdays lives in the light and especially when they travel in the darkness. Let traveling mercies be their shadows. I touch and agree with the saints of your universe that your spirit continue to rule the raging of the sea in all of the May  birthdays; when its waves rise, you still them. Thank you Yah for slaying those wicked thoughts before any and all of their foul weapons try to form for or against these May birthday. Those spirits shall stumble, fall, fail and die and these individuals born in the month of May shall escape all the evil bows and darts. Arise in all of their business, their streets, their homes their visions. Let all of their enemies be scattered into your presence. I command all evil spirits be cast down; removed; carefully, precisely destroyed with a double destruction who dare try to do harm over the lives of these May birthdays. Thank you for pleading the causes of these May birthdays and fighting against those who fight against them for no reason. You shall be their shield and buckler and stand up for these lovely May birthdays! Thank you father! We are not playing nice with any negative, demonic spirits over here! You will flee!

Spiritual Maturity

Let their mouths speak wisdom and their tongues talk of justice. We know your people are everywhere and needed in all things. Thank you for positioning these May birthdays to inherit the land you promised them. Let your counsel be the consumption of these May birthdays and their bloodlines for generations to come. Let the gift of prayer be stuck on the tablets of their hearts as they often yearn to desire a praying spirit. Thank you for their children's children trusting in you. In your light they shall see the true light! Thank you Yahweh for being so  merciful unto all of the May birthdays. Thank you Yah for personalizing their blessings specifically to their individual needs and causing your face to shine up on them right now! So shall they be full of determination to seek your truth. Let their hope be only in you father Yah. Bless your holy name Yahweh. You are worthy Yah! Thank you Yah for your goodness in the lives of these May love day birthdays! Thank you for your dominion over their concerns and your vibration having its perfect way in all of their lives. Thank you for giving these birthdays a mind to thirst for your righteousness so they can continue to season the earth in their spiritual gifts; filled with the riches of sacrifice and a made-up mind. So shall the word of Yah abide like a consuming fire in each of their hearts to fight for their maturity, purpose, and destinies. May they all receive a heart of thanks and repentance, plus truth to be their shadow in the mornings and at night. God bless all the May birthdays with something extra special. Thank you Yah for building these men, women, and children up to bear much fruit. They shall all be smothered in abundance! Thank you father Yah for sweetly partitioning an over- flow of your wisdom, sweet knowledge, and understanding, coupled with a heavy dose of discernment in the lives of these MAY love days. As you teach and lead them into their destiny, they shall flourish in your encouragement. They shall be surrounded by an oracle of your love as they slay anything that gets in the way of your plan for their lives.

Syleena is the semblance of a Power Pretty Mama who never has to get ready for the love attack she has for Chicago. She stays forever ready to represent her hometown. Syleena Johnson is letting the world know (especially black men) it's time to protect black women. How fitting is her melanin to magically rock this tee for black history. I just want to say, gone gurrrrl! Yes, "Protect Black Women" at all times, 365 days a year. Gimmie that shirt and the skirt. Hot!

In the beginning, the Lord made Sancti-Fly women like Syleena Johnson to give you a reason to smile, embrace your confidence, and slay in your melanated history with fashionistic bliss. Who else but you (black girls rocking) can take a scarf and leave a brand new mark of compliments? Who can and will always leave their scents with their African prints of pride laced in Afrocentric tees and big circle hoop earrings + dope jewelry? You're too slow but you already know, it is the black woman. Gimme that entire look Syleena! Looking good queen!

I'm just amazed, like in a daze. I am stuck and in love with a hairstyle that wows! Syleena gimme that. Beware of beautiful black hair! I know, this entire look got us all hooked. Our style is in the belly of longevity, not just February! 

The length and width of the hypocrisy within American democracy is what Dr. King labored and died for. He was trying his best to correct it. King wanted the truth America promised to their citizens applied to black Americans. As a group of melanated people, we are still on the battlefield for economic, political, and racial justice. Dr. King did what he was born and purposed to do, superlatively. Dr. King marched and he brought national attention to the issues his people were facing. He was a negotiater. He utilized his political power (hint hint) to get laws passed. It made life better for black people and all Americans. Dr. King had economic power (hint hint) and he made good use of it. He had the nerve to shut down companies and forced them to do right by black people. Now it is our turn to do it well, economically and politically. Every time I turn around I see a shift in black buying power, in unity, and in black folks getting addicted to a controlled  substance called entrepreneurship. Those who have decided they don't want to be part of this new movement (supporting and ownership) isn't the focus. It is their choice. Coretta Scott King stated how each generation will have to fight for these liberties. Your children's children will have to fight as well. I hope you are brave enough to prepare them.

​There are folks of all racial backgrounds and ethnicities who serve every day in the blueprint of Dr. King's legacy. There are also those who do not. During this time in our history, if you are one of those individuals who always articulate that there is no such thing as white privilege, the recent mob attack on Capitol Hill is all the evidence you need to know, it is real. Consequently, nothing happened to those Americans who felt their rights were violated or their freedoms were not being honored. Regardless of how fabricated their truth, they believed that the election was stolen from them. There are photographs to prove how serious they were about their cause. Dr. King was passionate about his cause as well. They killed him for it.

You KNOW black and brown folks could never have gotten that far on top of the Capitol building as you view the picture above. As soon as they tried to do rock climbing on the Capitol, they would have been shot down. Some of the rioters and protestors had weapons. For some reason they weren't taken seriously by the police. Dr. King marched peacefully against the knot of white supremacy in voter suppression and other causes. They made sure armed dogs, guards, and the police was fully present for those non-violent King demonstrators. A lot of folks died. If you are a little ignorant of history, you might think those things with  King happened so long ago. You're right! This is currently still happening to the people who participate in ​Black Lives Matter protest and others where black and brown folks are gathered=pure hypocrisy. Law enforcement was aware of the protest for President Trump. If these were black people they would've had their names, pictures of them all, and made mention of their long criminal history all over the news media. No time would've been wasted. They would have been immediately arrested. On the contrary, these domestic terrorist did their thang at the Capitol and went home. It has been alleged that some congressional leaders helped orchestrate the mob attack on the Capitol. I am certain more information will leak out. They're taking it more seriously now as national guards and the police are working together to secure the Capitols in every state.   

When you really start to wake up and begin to see, seek and know, there is no way to go backwards. Dr. Martin Luther King is absent physically but his spirit and presence is rising up daily. I know it looks like we are in the same chapters. These chapters will have your voice, your narrative, and your influence infused in it.    

Resurrection, peace, and wonderful love-days (birthdays) shall reign in the month of April.  An April breeze aims to please with warmer temperatures. We are in the fourth quarter of the fourth month in an unusual year. Continue to soak in positive energy and prayer. Protect your good vibrations on all occasions. Nurture it! The fight to legalize our freedoms continues on the menu for black or for melanated people to be fully treated as equal. This situation is not settled or finalized. We are waiting for the part when liberty and justice for all begins to start. There are still free meals and great tasting free treats! I want to give a special shout-out to all the men and women, brothers, and sisters that have birthdays in April who are locked up. You matter and I am thinking about you.

Start this Sancti-Fly Prayer with the basics. Cover the April birthdays in your family. Pray for their health, pray for their strength, and protection for them and their families. In addition to that, don't forget to pray about their level of spiritual maturity. Happy birthday to all of the Sancti-Fly Mamas, Papas, plus the young people in this new month of April 2021. ​

HEALTH AND STRENGTH

Father Yah, thank you for a praying spirit. Thank you for preserving the lives of these 2021 April birthdays (love days). Only your spirit shall reign, rule, and dominate their day. Nothing else shall be able to stand. Thank you for being the perfect beginning and ending of their strength as they wake and sleep in peace. Yah, as you blow your daily strength into these April birthdays' hands, legs, and joints, let them know it is your spirit that gives them the ability to lift, to eat, sit, and to clothe themselves. Thank you for loading these birthday celebrants with your daily benefits. Thank you Yahweh for being the author and completion of their faith to believe, to drown and to bleed in all the divine decrees promised towards their dreams. You make ways to heal every day openly and secretly as you breathe on the April birthdays (love days). Thank you Father for yielding an increase of healing their way as we use our energies to kill sickness to death and release healing over the lives of these April love days. Thank you Yah for letting these precious April birthdays know how rich and thick your refuge of strength is. So shall they bask in it; physically and mentally. I praise you, I lift you up and I exalt you for always taking care of these April birthdays. They shall be more courageous in this new season and not dismayed. Especially on their love days! If they tilt slightly to the left in weak, thank you for your hand turning them over in the position of strength. If they are faint, blow on them and replace it with your mercy, grace, and faith. These April birthdays shall remain firm and steadfast come what may. Let a thick portion of them know boldly that with you, "all things (strength and healing)"... and the other abundant portion of them know "are really possible." Thank you for letting these April birthdays (love days) know that healing and strength was meant for them! All souls who are standing in the way of these April 2021 breakthroughs shall be quickly removed! Thank you Yah for consuming these April birthdays with extra dose of positive energy, the strongholds of faith, and a victorious mindset to take over their lives this month; the rest of this year! 

PROTECTION

​Thank you Father Yahweh for guarding their ways and keeping them each and everyday day as your focus of protection. Let their enemies be ashamed and brought to a mutual confusion who rejoice over their life adversities. The hand of the wicked shall not drive them away. They shall soar higher and win their race. Nothing shall stop or block them. No racism, no sexism and no classism. Every negative form of energy, carjacking and witchcraft against these April birthdays shall be entered into their own hearts and their enemies bows shall be broken all over these April birthdays lives. I say thousands shall fall by their sides and ten thousand at their right hands but it (viruses, sickness) shall/will NOT come near these April birthdays (love days). Thank you Yah for your protection covenant covering these April birthdays (love days) and I extend this prayer to all of their love ones! Thank you Father Yahweh for giving your angels charge over these April birthdays lives in the light and especially when they travel in the darkness. Let traveling mercies be their shadows. I touch and agree with the saints of your universe that your spirit continue to rule the raging of the sea in all of the April  birthdays; when its waves rise, you still them. Thank you Yah for slaying those wicked thoughts before any and all of their foul weapons try to form for or against these April birthday. Those spirits shall stumble, fall, fail and die and these individuals born in the month of April shall escape all the evil bows and darts. Arise in all of their business, their streets, their homes their visions. Let all of their enemies be scattered into your presence. I command all evil spirits be cast down; removed; carefully, precisely destroyed with a double destruction who dare try to do harm over the lives of these April birthdays. Thank you for pleading the causes of these April birthdays and fighting against those who fight against them for no reason. You shall be their shield and buckler and stand up for these lovely April birthdays! Thank you father! We are not playing nice with any negative, demonic spirits over here! You will flee!

Spiritual Maturity

Let their mouths speak wisdom and their tongues talk of justice. We know your people are everywhere and needed in all things. Thank you for positioning these April birthdays to inherit the land you promised them. Let your counsel be the consumption of these April birthdays and their bloodlines for generations to come. Let the gift of prayer be stuck on the tablets of their hearts as they often yearn to desire a praying spirit. Thank you for their children's children trusting in you. In your light they shall see the true light! Thank you Yahweh for being so  merciful unto all of the April birthdays. Thank you Yah for personalizing their blessings specifically to their individual needs and causing your face to shine up on them right now! So shall they be full of determination to seek your truth. Let their hope be only in you father Yah. Bless your holy name Yahweh. You are worthy Yah! Thank you Yah for your goodness in the lives of these April love days! Thank you for your dominion over their concerns and your vibration having its perfect way in all of their lives. Thank you for giving these April birthdays a mind to thirst for your righteousness so they can continue to season the earth in their spiritual gifts; filled with the riches of sacrifice and a made-up mind. So shall the word of Yah abide like a consuming fire in each of their hearts to fight for their maturity, purpose, and destinies. May they all receive a heart of thanks and repentance, plus truth to be their shadow in the mornings and at night. God bless all the April birthdays with something extra special. Thank you Yah for building these men, women, and children up to bear much fruit. They shall all be smothered in abundance! Thank you father Yah for sweetly partitioning an over- flow of your wisdom, sweet knowledge, and understanding, coupled with a heavy dose of discernment in the lives of these APRIL love days. As you teach and lead them into their destiny, they shall flourish in your encouragement. They shall be surrounded by an oracle of your love as they slay anything that gets in the way of your plan for their lives.

This phrase may appear to be overused but it is true. "Life is a long shadow of short!" Love appears to be way too small at times. Therefore, I delegate my love to all of my family and friends who rock stronger than the wind by doing these birthday memes. Memories are all you have when your loved ones are no longer with you. If you haven't noticed, we are experiencing more death and crime in this season. Tell those you love that you love them! What are you waiting for? It is time! This is why I get overly united in my Sancti-Fly birthday excitement, in light of being surrounded by so much love, therefore I give love back. If your birthday is in April, I will be celebrating you too! I adore stalking my family and friends with good old fashioned birthday love creations (all 3 words have links). I am thankful to show love to the love days (birthdays) of April while they are in the land of the living! Stop taking your loved ones for granted in 2021 and in the years to come if they are around! It won't be the same without them around and you  know it, so now is the time to engage in love. I repeat, now is the time to say I'm sorry and amend the situations. 

​Prayer is a BEAUTIFUL birthday gift to give to YOUR loved ones who were born in the month of APRIL! To all the intercessors who are praying with me, thank you! Your prayers matter! Especially during these times we are living in.​
​

HAPPY KING-PAPA DAY to all the fathers, especially the melanated ones. Any chance I get to uplift the Sancti Fly Men in my community, who are drowning and bleeding in fatherhood, you already know ima bask in this glow. 

I just want to encourage all the men born with melanated skin to continue going beyond higher; love stronger, hug tighter. We love you! We see you! We believe in you! You matter, you are important, we cover you in prayer and in the spirit of our ancestors. We support you in the good times and the bad times as you work on being your best self. Please do not stop doing all the positive amazing things you are doing! The time is always ripe for black men to unite and fight together for all of our voting rights! Also our economic, medical, social, political and our human rights. Notice how we have to continue fighting for the same things? WE NEED YOU ALL! Thank you!

​​I am right 'black' at it again on the first day of Spring to show off SIP & SAVOR coffee. This company was founded by a brilliant man by the name of Mr. Pugh. The best thing about this man is, he purposely believes in pouring black dollars back into his community. Mr. Trez Pugh is a certified Sancti Fly King Papa in my opinion. It is so refreshing to acknowledge business men like Mr. Trez Pugh. Any chance I get to change the narrative concerning black men, I'm snatching it. At any of his coffee shops, you will run into local celebrities, politicians, young, and old people sipping on coffee from around the world. Move on over Starbucks, it's about time to share all of that wealth. SIP & SAVOR began in Chicago. They currently have 4 sipping locations in the state of Illinois. SIP & SAVOR recently expanded their brand South of Chicago in the suburb of Matteson, Illinois. I am super excited about it! My aim is to love and support "us" more. Please do your part. Join me in this Sancti-Fly quest. In order to increase the economics in our communities and change the trajectory of our bloodlines, I am unapologetic and proud to promote "Black Owned Black" owned and owned, until the break of dawn, stories and businesses. Let me be very clear, if this is something you are not into or feeling, this isn't for you. I am speaking only to those individuals who truly want to see black folks economically free. This is how we collectively kill all layers of racism and white supremacy. May you manifest the BEST, THINK with economic vision, and stay UNIFIED to buy black; ensuring that our dollars stay in our communities. All are very welcome to support black owned black dollars and cents. There is a shift in the atmosphere. It is time to get on board. No more excuses. 

I understand some of you love Starbucks coffee. I realize plenty of folks will not give up their morning routine at Dunkin' Donuts for their coffee. I challenge you to at least give SIP & SAVOR I try. Give them a chance. If you like the other two brand names you are going to be hooked on SIP & SAVOR and I can't wait for your addiction to take place.

SIP & SAVOR has more than coffee to share with you. Their menu introduces  the consumer to the best lattes, mochas, blended beverages and pastries. They even have breakfast foods. If you are ever in Chicago, please take a coffee break and join the population of sipnation at SIP & SAVOR.
