The following piece was given to us by Ma’at. When I first read this piece I was so in tune with it that all of the other noises in the background of my mind needed to be silenced. I truly hope that this piece engages us in a discourse about not only our current reality [...]

We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busy bodies. Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat. And as for you, brothers, never tire of doing what is right. If anyone does not obey our instruction [...]

These quotes represent my best friend and brother; he’ll see the connection. LOL!
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds!
Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.
I don’t stand for the black man’s side, I don’ t stand for the white man’s side.I stand for God’s side.
Life is [...]

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32
While watching an old episode of the Arsenio Hall show, Louis Farrakhan quoted Jesus saying “know the truth and the truth will set you free”. Powerful words, which have been spoken so many times from our different leaders that we forget [...]

WORDS
written by the lovely Ma’at
Words mean nothing
everything
Confined by the speaker
Writer
Audience
Perception
In Spoken form
Words Cause your ears to Bleed
They call you a Nigger
Bitch
Boy
They deleted your past from your present through Spoken Word
Taught you to love his Word and forget your own
They took your language so you lost your power
Power to speak
Power to communicate
Power to grow as [...]
