Before you make a mental plan to try your best not to understand what she is saying, take a deep breath and masticate on what she is trying to say to you. May you receive some truth! Kim is about to educate you.

If you want to help black people, this man says hire them! Divorce those old discriminatory policies at your company. Embrace true diversity where black women and men are allowed to be and do things in their culure. Like, their hair. I am so thankful that the hoi polloi of Europeans are finally gettng it! Some of them are reaching out to their black associates and friends. Together they are  setting the atmosphere for legislative change. 

Watch and listen to this carefully. Pay attention and plan your mission. Let's pursue this. Let us turn disconnection into connections. We did it before and we shall do it again (Black Wall Street)!

When black folks commit a crime they swiftly arrest and charge them. They even try to hold them when they are minors without their parents knowing. Guess what? This does not happen with white kids. Can I get an amen in the soprano and in the alto section? Right? When it is wypipo, (pay attention) they enjoy saying dumb things like, "Oh lets not rush to judgement, we have to weigh the evidence." Clearly it often shows the officer on tape killing the person but they say they have to investigate. When it is black folks all that rhetoric is muted. Lord have mercy, just stop it! Earthquake said, "I know you know us but do you see us America?" Well, do you see us as human beings? We are tired of this! Tell'em why you mad son! Don't hold back Earthquake!

You already know what time it is! Get up and stand up! ALWAYS stand up for your rights. We don't want our babies and family going through this anymore! We always fight for what's right. Don't you dare give up the fight....

This black man has an important message. He is deaf. Black folks know that if other family members are not around him when he has any encounter with the police, it can go bad. We always have to be trained how to act around the police. We always have to make sure we do everything close to perfect when we are around the police.

Yeah, um, some of the things we've had to endure as a group of melaninated individuals haven't been cool, more like uncool cruel. It hasn't been liberty and justice for all. Where is the pursuit of happiness? Can ya please just get your knees off of our necks? Rev. Al Sharpton was the man who eulogized brother George Floyd's memorial service in Minnesota. He came up with the phrase "GET YOUR KNEE OFF OUR NECK." 

Watch this video about privilege. Hopefully you will gain a better understanding about yourself and others. Maybe you will get a revelation of enlightenment on why Black Lives Matters is being articulated over and over again. We can't stop and we won't stop! 

People in different nations from Paris to Australia are rocking unity and strength in their protest for new liberation and legislation for black people. There are some who wish to snuggle up close with escapism. Re Re is NOT one of them. She is not remaining silent on this! There are folks who are influencers and they could use their brands to help but their not. I stand in complete agreement with this woman. Miss Neelam who is a rapper, is reminding those entertainers and corporations that Black Lives Matter. 

Please make sure you swipe across this Instagram post so you can see all the corporate support Ben & Jerry's has delivered. There should be many more companies on board, speaking out about the murder of George Floyd. No worries! We will remember your silence. I predict the sales of Ben & Jerry's will surge. We Must Dismantle White Supremacy!

We need more white officers to speak out and show their fellow police officers how to do it. If you are a police officer and you stand by and do nothing when you know your partners are acting like race soldiers, you are part of the problem. It is time to stand up! We all know there are more good cops than those bad seeds. Do good cops do the right thing?  Yes! Let us see it more!

Why do young children or black people even have to protest to have the same citizen rights as Europeans? The objective is for this little mama not to carry the PTSS (Post Traumatic Slavery Syndrome) gene into her family when she grows up. She is preaching against anything not good for goodness sake. God bless her! This has to die! No Justice, No Peace!

We have to do a comparative analysis of blacks and whites because this post is truly ridiculous in the worse way possible. THIS is what we are talking about! Why wouldn't they think these individual lives didn't matter enough to treat them like human beings? This grandmother is 90. Granny was trying to protect her grandson. At 90 I am sure she has seen some things back in her day, as far as policing. Did you prepare for what you were about to view? This was done all in the name of a traffic ticket. If this was a white female or grandmother, this would not have ever happened. If the officers were black and the grandmother was white they wouldn't dare do that. I don't think they would do this at all. Please tell me how you can justify this? You can't. 

There are plenty-many examples to go around of why peaceful protesting is still prevelant and relevant. This black couple was harrassed by cops for no reason at all. Wait, the reason was, they were driving while black. It is real. Please stop acting like it is foreign. It will be ending soon! We are tired of this crap!

There is not much I have to say about this particular post by our president. This is the reason why we shout in our stentorian voices, "Black Lives Matter!" You think we are making this stuff up? Here is your example. Black people are tired of being sick and tired of police brutality. He tries to change the narrative. Oh, but the white people who were marching and armed with guns were the very good people because they wanted the economy to open back up.

Say that girl! False accusations and targeted assasinations will bring about oppression which equals depression! Check out this lady breaking down some important points in American segregation. These kind of laws were the laws of the land until brave men and women came against it to challenge it. History has showed us that those who wrote laws were not always right. A lot of the laws back then were completely bestial and promoted white supremacy. 

Mental illness is a condition that affects all people and in all communities. This is an Instagram post that is very pertinent to the argument and the peaceful protest of those individuals who chant "Black Lives Matters." All I have to say is, check out the video. If the woman was any other race she would not have been treated with such understanding and patience. They were very professional and they used lots of restraint. They were also nice and calm with this woman. This should be the standard with ALL people who have mental illness. It's not. 

Dr. Claud Anderson has great points. Racism has to do with economics. I think the black community should adopt some of his solutions. I agree, it all boils down to economics. Dr. King proved that with Operation Breadbasket. I disagree about the skin color and race. That is unfortunately a factor. It's really sad that the pigment of a person's skin has been a wedge between many groups of people. They want us divided. Not united! They want black against white and Christian against Muslim. The human race is waking up. Their shenanigans are decreasing in weakness. I say repent and get on the right side of history. 

Listen to Fannie Lou Hamer. Black people always fought against colonization and slavery. ​We didn't accept it back then and we do not accept it now in 2020. If you are not free to fully participate in this American system in pursuit of life liberty and happiness, you are not free. You are a slave. Lots of black folks suffer from PTSS (Post Traumatic Slavery Syndrome). Black folks have been hit with generational oppression and institutionalized racism. 

This young black man set the the atomosphere for legislative change. As he sang we all felt his pain. They're just young black men. Yes the ones you teach. Oh yeah, the ones you coach.The ones your kids play with and hang out with. The ones that split good melanin worldwide into your bloodline. Yes those young men and boys. The ones you work with on your jobs. These men are trying to do the BEST that they can to stand against your prejudiced views. Oh but when they look around, their spirits are down because your knees are on the right and left side of their necks. They often, too often, see how you are treating their kind like dirt, like they have no worth. Everyday, black males are being hunted as prey. By each other and the police. The disgrace is too full.on our plates. It has to be erased so we can sleep in free. It all must cease.They just wanna live and have another chance to advance wearing economic pants. No more excuses. It is time for solutions. They don't want no trouble because they were born in the struggle. They just want to live. Oh Yah (God), protect their family tree. Always praying for mercy!

Twisterrific irkahliciousness knocked me upside of my head as I was driving from visiting a local church. Literally, I saw an adult male (minus grown man) in a groovy sports car throwing out a can of some sort of beverage and a plastic bag full of trash. Yes, on the road! I was hoping the police was around to catch it. It was preposterous but nothing surprises me…nothing! There were a few cars in front of me swerving side to side trying to avoid him from hitting their cars. I did the exact same thing when I saw him tossing his trash out of the window from his car. It is time to kill the litter bug inside of you if that is part of your sickness.
 
It severely irks me to see individuals littering when there is no need to do it. There is this invention called the garbage or trash can for everyone to utilize, so please use it! What do you think Mr. Eugene Poubelle would say? I am sure he would encourage you to please throw your trash in the garbage. Spring is right around the corner so please do not litter!
 
There is absolutely nothing wrong with you having pride in your own community. It is right to teach your kids to value themselves and their community. It doesn't matter what income you have, pick up your trash. If you have a Section-8, please pick up your trash. If you own a multi-billion dollar company, pick up your own trash. It doesn't matter what nationality you represent, pick up your trash. It is your job to help keep your neighborhood clean people.
 
Don't you dare take off your good neighbor hat. Please keep it on in every season. Your children will emulate what they see you doing. If they see you throwing beer bottles and all kind of crap on other people's yards, they will do it. It's disgusting to be a little bug in my humble opinion. It is even more repulsive to toss trash in your neighbor's yard and not pick it up. Come on people! Pick up your trash and teach your kids to do the same. It is a very simple task.
 
It can all be avoided! Pick it up and put it in the trash. Please stop all the unnecessary pollution. We all have to live on this planet together. 
 
Litter cleanup is so important to you, me and the future of the community. Please stop littering. Pick up your own trash! I feel like I have to say this a million times because I've noticed in my own community, when I go for my daily walks how much trash there is. We are slipping as a society.
 
If this describes you maybe it is time for you to make a positive change. Littering does say a lot about you as a person and as part of the community where you live. It is so not cool. It is very unattractive. It would appear that you don't appreciate where you live. If your neighbors are keeping their yards nice and clean and yours is not, that will stand out. Can you image trying to do something right (like not littering) and certain people in your neighborhood act like they don't care about it? Think about it and teach your kids. What's so wrong with picking up the trash? There is no excuse for not taking a few seconds to bend over and pick up your trash or trash in your neighbor's yard. Please pick up your trash and stop all the littering. Thank you!

Okay, so I did not do my 12 Days of Free Giveaways, for the end of 2019 as I have done for the past few years on SFM. I really wasn't that hyped over it. Plus I have been super busy. That is a good thing. I shall talk about that later with you guys. I am behind on some of my dates. It will be coming later. I figured in light of not doing my 12 Days of Free Giveaways, I did want to overshare about twenty spectacular businesses I need to expose for your support. If not now then when? It's time!

Fight the Power and don't stop! June is Black Music Month. I am dedicating this edition to the current insurrection of liberation going on in light of the recent cries for justice. We just want to be free! We are not asking for anything extra! If you love listening to good music you can always find it in our culture. Black Music Month is exactly what it states. It is a month that is designed to esteem African American music and their culture. As noted in the HuffPost, the inception of Black Music Month came from former President Jimmy Carter. It was further pushed into legislation by music producer Kenny Gamble and his ex-wife Dyana Gamble. Gamble is known as the Godmother of Black Music Month as confirmed by Ebony.

"My skin is so black. I'm rocking that black on black." Inspirational warfare from this song is everything and more. Please tell us where is our 40 acres and a mule (our reparations). We want to be free to breathe, to jog, to shop and to build. No limitations and conditions are welcomed. We want to be free to be arrested by the police and not killed if we commit a crime, not murdered. We need the same resistance and patience that is shown to European folks when they get in trouble with the law. Maybe we need our own black men and women to police us. For the record, we want black on black crime to die along with all the institutionlized racist policies that contributes to the black community's demise. 

Years plus centuries of inner city blues of racism, oppression, discrimination, and inhumane treatment, but you still want us to wait? Noop! No! Now is the time to produce what you put on paper. Liberty and justice for all! We have been hollowering, screaming, and asking. Now it appears your ears are all waxed out! Can you hear now! 

Yes, we always continue to rise up and pull ourselves up by our bootstraps, per your request. Then you still keep your knee on our necks. Ending the abuse of police brutality is your job to do, not just ours! Stand up!

That old Jim Crow need to die in order for the human race to represent our case as human beings. Please listen to Nina Simone! She is spitting out her hurt. We do that alot. We collaborate in song and with our talents to cope with the pain. 

Yahweh will get the glory! This is a demonic spirit that has to die. If you are a man of God (whether black or white) you are charged with doing your part to make sure this dies! It is time! Do you remember in the movie Selma when all kind of white folks marched with the black folks just so black people could have the right to vote? They called it Bloody Sunday. You would have thought that in that moment, when all kind of hatred was caught on camera showing America itself, it would have died. But oh no, it didn't. So here we are, again. Not this time! Time is up!

SAY IT LOUD! I'm black and I am proud! Proud to stand on the shoulders of greatness. Proud to stand in unity with all those who want to see change. Proud to say I love my hair, I love my skin color, I love myself. Proud to say I am different but that is how the creator made me. Proud to say we will not stop until we get what we deserve. Proud to say this is not against white folks. If you don't understand these protest songs, then that is on you!

I have to say it 2 times for those who can't hear me in the background. It's time! It is time for change! We shall not let up. Systemic oppression coupled with the residue of Jim Crow and white supremacy must die in order for the black people who pay their taxes, to be free. We have to apply the pressure on the neck of America until we are totally and completely free. We are overdue for liberation in all areas (socially, economically, medically and spiritually) in our lives. 

You already know my fist is raised up high. That's my black excellence alibi. I could listen to this song forever. You heard it in the beginning and you will hear it in the end. It is time for legislative change.

Andrew and the rest of the political crew keep getting screwed in their faces and behind their backs in influence. The release of those who are incarcerated Appeals to be a big ole deal during this COVID-19 ride. I think it’s about time to express the options to utilize a virtual private network to keep our connections protected. As we take a peek into other folks love lives, we know that men and women who are homosexuals have been part of our American society. Just when you thought all those black kids was stigmatized as thugs, and all hooked on selling drugs, some good black kids made their marks in the land. Slavery wasn’t that long ago! Race, skin color, and hate is constantly fighting against the faith of those who want to be free. These mentions are worth your attention.

Kim Foxx wins the primary as the Illinois States Attorney and Andrew Gillum was caught in a hotel with a white male escort allegedly doing drugs. The young man was buck naked. The male escort was in an overdosed state of mind. As pointed out in Politico, Mr. Andrew Gillum stated how depressed he was when he did not win the seat for Governor in Florida. That loss lead him to drugs. Okay, I can empathize but he is a married man. It just didn’t look right. Why was he in a hotel room with another man who was naked? If Gillum is hiding something about his lifestyle, I pray he can be free and honest with himself and his wife. Interestingly, some individuals came to Gillum’s defense. They argued Gillum needed to be supported at this time and not judged. I have no comment! Wait, yes, I do! He is a grown adult. He has to be held accountable for his actions just like anyone else. 

CORONA GIRL GO...BYE

I wish Corona would just go away right now! She is showing out in the worse way! The month of April has been predicted to be a surge of COVID-19 cases. This means more people are anticipated to die and get infected. As it stands, there are about 245,000 Americans infected with the virus and 50,000 of those folks are in New York City. There are about 9,000 people in Illinois infected by this virus and 200 deaths as of today (4/3/20). The first female Mayor of Chicago (Lori Lightfoot) and the Governor (Pritzker) of Illinois update the people of Illinois daily. They brief us on all informative matters concerning the coronavirus. Today Governor J.B. Pritzker encouraged the people of Illinois to wear a mask when they go outside. This measure will help prevent tiny droplets from reaching into the nostril system when other folks sneeze around you. Please wear your mask! It is good common sense to do so! Plus, some folks will not cover their mouths when they do sneeze despite the pandemic. The State of Illinois will be using various facilities to combat the coronavirus. Convention centers, hotels, and old buildings will play a major part. They have opened more testing places to meet the needs of the people. The McCormick Place will be used as a hospital to help fight the spread of the virus. God bless all of the men and women in the medical field, law enforcement, and all those who are on the front line fighting this virus. The army is also aiding the State of Illinois.

Educators all over Illinois will be using live streaming to help students learn at home, considering the Governor has extended the "Stay Home" order until April 30. Even college students are taking courses and learning online instead of in the classroom. Social distancing saves lives so please practice it. New York City has been hit hard. Keep those brothers and sisters in your prayers. Try your best to stay safe. Stay home! No larger gatherings! Be well!

SHAWTAE HARRIS (DA BRAT)

All those in my granny Lula’s bloodline are covered from head to toe in prayer, support, and love just to let you know. I have cousins that are homosexuals. I love them all! I see them as my family members, nothing more, nothing less. Shout out to my cousin RC, who I try to write often to let him know he is worthy of all things good! Stop acting like it’s foreign in your family! Anyway, people in Chicago already knew Da Brat was a lesbian woman. Yes, it is her business. At first, I thought to myself, “Why is Da Brat articulating something we all knew?” Timing was her mission. Sometimes it is not the right time to reveal things. It was not socially acceptable to come out as a lesbian woman years ago. Regardless of her sexuality, I believe most people who support her music would not have stopped. For all those religious folks who feel some type of way about her life, it is between her, Jesseca Dupart, and her God. Your job is to simply pray for her. 

Kudos to these young people, known as GoodKids MadCity for using their love and light to shed fiercely on others in their communities. They saw a need and ran towards the mark to serve. These young brothers and sisters fed over 32  families in their communities affected by the coronavirus. Their objective is to gain more resources and lesson the burden of police officers by stepping up to do what they have to do in their communities themselves. My heart is melting, with my fist raised up high in the air, (you already know) of course. I positively love the fact they are changing the narrative. The media loves to show black kids in the worse negative form as inhumanly possible. We already know this is not the whole truth of our youth. I am so proud of them! I wish them sweet success, donations, love, unity and a mind to keep pressing on. These young people are definitely represented in my family and I know, yours too! I just had to mention this and bring them to your attention! Perhaps they live in mad parts of the city, but they are good kids doing good deeds!

Sancti-Fly History is often in our midst. Matilda McCrear died in 1942 at the age of 82. Matilda was born in 1860. She is documented as being the longest living slave in the history books. According to National Geographic, and as noted in The Root, Matilda was on the last slave ship known as Clotilda when she was stolen from Africa. She was only a baby when she was brought on the last slave ship to the state of Alabama. I absolutely agree with Zack Linly (The Root). In his article he talks about slavery not being that long ago. Some people love to say silly things like that. The year of 1942 wasn't that long ago either. Also, did you know that most African Americans have the last names of their ancestors' slave masters. Yes, even to this day. Smith, Jones, Stevenson, you name it! They lost their culture, names, and native languages. That is proof! This is why some folks known as black or African American change their names. Again, for the record, it was not that long ago. Black folks are still battling some of the same ugly spirits they have always fought against for their freedom and equality. Yes, it has gotten better but we have ways to go. We have layers to uncover. Please share this American Black History with your family and young people. Hey, the more you know! 

Double portions of grace and mercy is all over the place right now for you to prepare for the 2020 Expungement Summit, being held at Kennedy King College in Chicago. Spread the awareness for someone's life to advance at having another chance in life. Yes, this is presented by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Plan ahead! Please save the date of January 18. 2020! Thank you!

A breach of good manners is what I often encounter when I go to the nursing home to visit my great aunt. I can genuinely identify why folks are always suing nursing homes. I so get it! It's ineffable how I feel about nursing homes right now. Some of them are the antithesis of debonair. No, I am not articulating they are all horrible places with a few sprinkles of disgusting. What I am saying is, you have to take substantial sips of advocating for your loved ones if the alternative is to have them in the care of a nursing home facility. My Aunt Mable is my granny Lula’s big sister. It’s an honor to snuggle up close to the history my Aunt Mable represents. She shares her life with me when I go to see her. Aunt Mable is 102 dips of remarkable. My aunt is in her right mind. It may take Aunt Mable a minute to respond to questions but she always gets it right. Aunt Mable desires to meet President Barack Obama in light of Obama being the first African American leader of the United States.

I absolutely loathe going to visit her in the place where she currently resides. Oh and get this, the place is very fancy on the inside. Please don’t be misled by that. The leadership is hurting in lack. Most of these type of accommodations has a hard time finding good workers. Why? They have an extremely high-turnover. They can’t keep decent workers. This shortage disrupts the lives of the seniors or people they are charged with taking care of. I need to tell you about the one time I was at the place where my aunt is. The young CNA female was changing her. Instead of walking over to the trash can to put the dirty diaper in the trash like normal folks do, the young Certified Nursing Assistant tossed it and she missed the trash can. The dirty diaper landed on the floor. Lord have mercy! You know I alerted her about her missed opportunity to place the diaper in the trash. She stated to me that she knew. She left the dirty unsanitary diaper on the floor. After she was done changing my aunt (a few minutes) she walked over and then placed the diaper in the trash can. Fluent laziness was in the air. She didn’t see any problem with her actions at all. She knew I was in the room. I took a picture of it. I also contacted the Director of Nursing on the matter. Another time one of the workers was passing out night gowns and instead of placing the attire on my aunt’s dresser she (again) tossed it and missed. It landed on the floor like my aunt was not a human being. I was irritated. I politely told her she missed. I was firm but nice. I asked her to come pick it up and place it on my aunts dresser. Why would she throw anything is beyond me. I asked her to please treat my aunt like it was her great aunt, mother, or family member. She did comply but she had the nerve to have an attitude. The list is relentless with some of these nursing home workers. It is non-stop. Each time I go visit my great aunt there is always an issue. My cousin came to visit our great aunt and they gave my aunt food with molded bread. Of course she took a picture of it. I am not telling you about what any experts have declared. I am telling my personal testimony about the nursing home facility I've experienced. There are good workers. The problem is, the bad ones outnumber the good ones. Thankfully, my granny Lula had a lot of kids. She was blessed to create a strong bloodline that looks out for our Aunt Mable. Each time we visit we support our Aunt Mable in all of her needs. After all she is 102, dang. Can we show at least a little (no a lot) reverence.

If you are thinking about putting your loved ones in any nursing home please beware.

• Make sure you are vigilant (family members faces need to be seen)
• Ask lots of questions (Talk to the Administrators, Doctors, and Nurse)
• Call them out on their unprofessionalism (Stop throwing stuff please.)
• Make sure your loved ones have NO bruises, changed and clean
• Make sure they are eating the right food (They will give the wrong food)
• Make sure you take pictures and document EVERYTHING

What is it that you get? Do you allow sips of understanding to slip by you with no evidence of empathy and dips of sympathy attached to your humanity? 

This is relatively a new venture I stumbled on surrounding the ingredients of bits and pieces of Instagram. I am always striving to do different things on SFM. This controversial piece is kind of like my Twitter Tweets of The Week. I cruise around Twitter and talk about many random things trending but this time it will be with post from Instagram. Sometimes there is audio so please don't forget to click on the links in purple to listen in. Enjoy!

Why can’t black folks bask in the abyss of being treated with humanness? There are malicious spirits awaiting to take advantage of others. Especially towards black folks, in this situation (always). Even in this current century, race relations are not walking in its truth. "You had to do what the white man said or else you were dead," as stated by a former black man who was a slave up until 1961 on a plantation in Louisiana. You heard right! Watch the video. A black man by the name of Author Miller was still a slave along side his parents and his siblings until 1961. White folks kept them in bondage. In the video Author Miller speaks of a black man on the plantation who tried to run away in light of wanting his freedom. They caught him, mutilated his body, and lynched him. Miller also articulated how white men raped his mother and beat her. How could we have 20th-century slaves? Well, don’t be so offended. Look at all the things going on right now! There was an entire family profiting off of Miller and his family. The plantation owners used their deception and trickery to keep Author Miller and his family as slaves, as pointed out in the Vice. There were also other slaves and families on the plantation. Rural areas are inaccessible. This is one of the main reasons why it took so long. Plus folks don't like to talk about their experiences as slaves. There was a lot of fear. White folks don't even want to discuss racism. Everybody feels so uncomfortable. Nothing changes if folks are reluctant to at least acknowledge it! This is why it is so important to know your history. There was a white family who did regard the Millers as human beings. Please read the article in the Vice. They helped Author's entire family find their pursuit of justice and liberation.

​This girl can't even get a job. She can't get money for college. She can't even vote when she turns 18 because this child has been arrested and handcuffed! She was almost charged with a misdemeanor plus battery at six years old. Oh my gosh! What is going on in our world. She was taken to the juvenile detention center, not the dean or the principal. I do understand disciplining a child when they act out of order. I don't think children should hit or kick adults. There should have been another way to handle it instead of taking her to jail. Crazy! This is not the most ethical thing to a solution. Is it just me or does it appear that certain kids, like the one in this story, are handed out the most extreme of punishments as compared to others. I am just saying! Did they even delve into the fact the little girl has a medical condition? No! Just lock her up! But even if she did not have a medical condition, this incident was not acceptable on any terms. Have you checked your children's school policy on this? You should! 

Fundamentally, black women and men on Twitter and on Madame Noire told Bette Midler to use her own lady (white) friends and celebrities to push the voting narrative. They said Beyonce already had done her part when she was on tour encouraging her fans to get out and register to vote. The statement Jemele Hill wrote was agreed upon by plenty many melanated (black) people on Black Twitter. Some individuals (black and white) thought Bette Midler was just trying to get more support out in the open to help defeat Trump. Others were not trying to hear Midler at all! They wanted Bette to rally up all the white privilege she has and do the job herself. Bette Midler did say BeyHive. Beyonce has lots of fans that are not all black folks. Perception is everything. Why she didn't tweet about Taylor Swift and other white women with a huge Twitter following? I don't know! 

This lady is in this video is explaining how hate and prejudice is taught at home. Those kinds of folks groom their children not to like or play with other children. If you've ever watched kids play together, who are complete strangers, they do not see color. As you can see she is a white woman with black children. She states how the white mother does not want her white kids to play with the black kids at the park. She confronts the white mother and surprises her with the fact that she is the mother of the black children. Any woman or mother is going to stand up for their kids. One thing about women is, don't come for their babies! I noticed how some people were offended by her saying she was not like the "black mama and papa who sits in the car while their kids are playing, paying no attention to them." I really don't think she meant to offend the black community by it. In this situation she happened to be a white mother with black children. There are people who are white and black who do not pay attention to their kids when they are at the park. I surmise those folks had a problem with her (white woman) saying what she said because she is a white woman. She was not supposed to have said that but it is true. There are some irresponsible parents of all shades. Again, I believe she was trying to make a point that she wasn't that type of parent. 

Basically, if you can't handle your children playing with other children that are different from them, don't take them to the park. That color pigment thing is not going to change. It is everywhere!

​This is domestic terrorism! It appears to be an unsophisticated trend. Young white men and now ladies are running around with AK-47 guns? Why do they need these military guns? If you are the parents of children who own these types of guns I encourage you to be mindful and alert with your children or young adults. Alexis Wilson was allegedly going to shoot down a high school but her plans were  interrupted by the police who received a tip. It did not happen. But what if it did? No one wants their children's school shot up in blood and attacked, regardless of what party you belong to, no one! This child had a plethora of ammunition ready to kill! Thank goodness her co-workers turned her in. 

This moment right here will make you feel and believe in love again. It will galvanize your love (that rocks) to a higher level of mushiness. There was a man who heard a woman humming in one of the aisles at Wal-Mart. He walked over to her to let her know how she captured his attention with her lovely voice. He asked her if she knew the song by Luther Vandross as sung in the video. She said yes. They started sangin' yes I said sangin' (singing) and all the shopping carts just froze. Their beautiful melodies went viral. I was wondering if they were both single because it seems like they were meant to be. You know I am about to go singing in the aisle at the closest Wal-Mart I can find. You have to watch the video. You're gonna feel so good!

Inspirational warfare has entered the building and they won an Emmy! You know how much I adore these men. Jharrel Jerome poignantly embodied the character of King Korey Wise in the successful film, "When They See Us." I am ecstatic for them all. Ava DuVernay did a flaming hot mama job with the film. If you have not watched it please watch it. Mr. Jerome is the first ever Afro-Latino to win this award. Oh snap! When they see us, we are winning!

Titivate your day with the light of love and positive energy as often as you can to bring healing to your surroundings. Fight against negative energy at all times and know that you are worthy of all the goodness life has to offer. You have the right to remove yourself from people, places and things that are the antithesis of your hope. How dope and Sancti-Fly is that? 

Good morning to you! Here is something just positively ripe to start your day with. Meditate on those words. God’s spirit will educate you. God’s power will navigate you. God’s strength will maintain you. God’s sagacity will guide you. God’s eyes will look ahead for you. God’s ear will receive you. God’s word will communicate to you. God’s hand will defend and carry you. And God’s love will flourish you and keep you whole. Set your atmosphere with prayers and words like this. Here comes all the good energy you deserve. Say it! Speak it! Believe it!

All I am going to say is AMEN! Share this with someone else. There is a soul that needs to hear how God’s arm is able to do an exceedingly and abundant hold on their lives when they are weak. People need to know God will keep them when they are at their darkest moments. When you were going through that ruff time in life and you didn't know how you were going to make it through, God was with you. That is how you made it! Although human beings do some of the most awful things at times, God still loves them. God’s love will never stop no matter what you do. Maybe yours might stop. God is not like mankind. God does not like the sin but his love is not going away in light of something you have done. 

Can we all practice saying “I pressed on” when negative energy and those things that are not welcomed interrupt our days. This is a piece of inspiration you have to share with others. These words are way too cool. If this is not the pinnacle of turning a negative into a positive, I don’t know what else is. If you are reading this and you are feeling some kind of way. Okay, let’s say you are dressed in a little depressed piece of attire. Woman, it is time to press on out of that stage. Man, it is time to press on out of that stage. Depression is a serious form of mental illness. There are different levels of depression. Some people are really sad and they take medication to soothe their moods for it. If you need to seek professional help, please do. Your mind is powerful! Your current state is not your final destination. Things will get better. 

The creator of the heavens and the earth, or the higher power you believe in knows all about you and your needs. The Most High (God) is concerned about all the things you are concerned about. God is a spirit and God’s spirit is in the midst of all the people and things you are connected to on purpose. My aunt Mable is 102 years young. She once told me God has an appointed time for all of us to grow and prosper to our purpose-driven lives. If you are down, don’t worry. You will be back up again. God is working. God did not forget about you!

Oh yes! You will encounter a multitude of likes and dislikes in this world. Don’t be moved by folks. Be saturated in focus. Stay focus! I understand it can get hard sometimes but you are going to make it despite those who yearn for you not to make it. It is in your nature to make mistakes. We are all imperfect. Learn from your error and keep on moving until you get to your destination. You will reach your finish line and you will shine! So shine, shine, shine. Then keep producing greatness again! You shall live above the noise!

Twisted in a spiritual xeric of determination is what becomes of you as you fine tune your life in God’s light. You will be ready and able to adjust your faith to any environmental test and trials that comes your Sancti-Fly way. I am telling you, when you spend some of your time in God’s presence, whether it is reading his word, praying or meditating, you will be as strong and bold as the lions The Most high created. You will be able to stand against any and all things. Some of you have nothing to lose. When was the last time you talked to God? Try it! You’re going to go from cat mode to lion mode.

I give a full package deal of credence to believing in miracles always. When I speak miracles in my life for the day it always happens. Some of us have to change our thinking. You attract what you believe. It is very true! Believe you can do it! Believe in supernatural connections. Believe in healing. Believe you are worth the belief. Miracles happen daily and everything good comes from above. As you read this, I pray for miracles in your face and behind your back. As you sleep tonight God is going to perform miracles for you. Pass this on! Believe!
