​​​​​​​​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.

If you like music by Nina Simone, you are going to appreciate the music by this queen. The history books call her Mama Africa (Miriam Makeba). Yes, she was a warrior just like most women that look like her are. I have nothing against some of these new female artists, but every young girl and all women need some Nina and Miriam in their lives. The fight continues without a break. There is no pause.

Leave your worries behind. Well, just for a little while. Then come back and try working on conquering it again. 

Have a blessed weekend and wonderful Friday with sprinkles of love, light and black girl magic added all around your day.

Be safe! Embrace the fact that you are so blessed. Stay alert and have a great Thursday.

So, this happened yesterday. Check out the difference between how the two parties report on it. Whatever happened to "may the best man or woman win." This election is a bit scary. One says the people were US citizens and the others say, no they are not citizens.

How do you feel about abortions after reading the root of it all?  This woman was part of America's whitest white supremacy. 

What non-white areas could she possibly be talking about? It backfired because white women have used and abused abortions, too! This is why they fight so hard against it.

You already know there are still folks that work with you and live by you that think like this. Oh, and some of them they call themselves" Christians."

What are the sisters saying to you today? Are you listening to them?

The sisters are saying that you are strong enough. You have fought so many battles and you are still standing. You have cried so many tears, but you are still smiling. Although you have been broken, betrayed, and rejected, you still walk proud and loud, like a queen. You laugh loud and it glows. You out there living without fear and loving without doubt. You are beautiful and humble. This moment is all about you. The sisters are saying watch how you do all things in this season and repent always.

You know that you're going to have a great week when you start and end it with the affirmations of prayer. Have a safe, blessed week.

Mucho Monday blessings to you. Remember that every day is a new day. You get a brand-new start.

Ladies, Dr Umar is asking that you please put some oil on your cinnamon bons if you are going to be out there showing it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Always pray because someone is ALWAYS at the other end of your prayers praying for you and with you.

Best wishes to you for a blessed Friday to all the Sancti Fly Mamas and Papas out there.

This is why our history is momentous. We are clearly still fighting for our kids and ourselves to learn about our history. It has been drowning in a European system that does not care about educating melanated students about their own history. I do not understand what they don't get. Woods contributions to this world, despite the background noise of Jim Crow and white supremacy, made him one of the very best inventors in the world. Woods was a brilliant man. He was an engineer and highly educated. He had a multitude of patents. Granville invented the roller coaster, made railroads better, the telegraph, air brake system and others.
​
​This entire American Educational system really needs to be revamped. If you are an educator that happens to be working in an educational environment where the students are predominately people of color or black melanated students, is it ok to say you should be obligated to learn about their culture. Why would you not think about resources, books and educational materials conducive to their (them) learning? Be honest. If your European kids were taught everything about black history by black women only and whitewashed their own history, European folks and parents would not stand for that. So, why do they think it is NOT ok for our kids to have Granville T. Woods included into the curriculum? This goes for those other groups and Europeans. If you are teaching black kids, you really should be advocating to the district, the state or whoever you need to, in order for children that you teach to be taught rightfully. European history dominates in melanated schools, in 2024, when it should not. Granville was born to invent. He was also allowed to share time and space from 1856-1910 to show other human beings that look like him how it could be possible for them. You don't think melanated children would benefit from knowing that? They would! 

This little girl has parents who are assertive in training and teaching their little girl how powerful she is and how influential her history has been to this world. You have to emulate this, parents. Representation matters so that our tribe can read it, see it, and then they believe they can do it. Reading great books with literature reflective of themselves, will keep your kids minds elevated in a higher frequency and away from negative things. Even if you do not like to read, I say read it anyway. Take your kids to the library often. Read with them at home. They are not going to teach your kids about their history. You have to do that with them and make time for it. Of course, some folks already know this and do it but there are some people who do not do it or understand how crucial it is.
