  • Successful anti-slavery and anti-colonial insurrection overthrowing the French.
  • Let to the West pulling out of the institution of slavery throughout the Americas.
  • Only slave uprising that led to the founding of a state, free from slavery, and ruled by non-whites and former captives.

Harlem Renaissance Harlem, New York: 1920s – Mid 1930s

Without anything but their life on the line, many people of color did what was necessary and right to live. They fought to the death so that we (people of color) could live how we live today. What are we doing to pay honor to their struggle? How are we re-paying them for their blood, death, and sacrifice? What are we doing to make a future for those who will come behind us? If you cannot answer these questions because there is no mark you’re leaving for your future generations, then the answer is nothing. We have to do better since we have more than what they had to make what we have a reality.

Unlocking The Truth Within

Unlocking The Truth Within

Goddess morning Royals. First give praise and worship to the all High.

How honest are you with yourself? How much do you lie to get ahead in life, love, and business? How many times have you been caught in your web of deceit?

Honestly we all have done it and frankly gotten away with it at some point. Am I correct? Of course I am. We have all lied to ourselves, to our significant others, friends, family members, our children, and others just to either look good at the moment or just because we can’t help it.

Question: How many of us have gone back and made the lie a reality to stay face or told the truth that you lied? Not many some even pile onto that lie and make it worse. Why in the world would we ever do that but we have? How many of you all are cheating on your significant other, taxes, diets, church, or family? When I say cheating on your family, you pretend that the family you were born into isn’t your family or prefer another family and spend more time with that family. Again everyone have done it, whether it is your significant other’s family because they make you feel special; or you taken on the role of a mother or father to someone else child because they respect your more. How about lied on an application because you thought you were best qualified for the job? Then realize you have over stepped your boundaries. Lied about degrees you don’t have and when it was time to produce them couldn’t. Lied about your abilities to function in a fast pace work environment and well fell short. Still we have all committed some sort of facade in our lives that we aren’t proud of or wish we never done it to begin with, but did and now have to live it out to its fullest.

What to do? What to do? Well I tell you what we can all confess to the mess we have created. We can hold our heads up high and be proud of who or what we are instead of creating a person who we know we can’t live up to. For those who have cheated on someone, just let them go, because clearly they aren’t the one for you or else you wouldn’t have been able to cheat on them, even in revenge. Now I don’t have to tell you about those taxes because the IRS will get you soon enough and at this rate they are going they are more vigilant of those falsifying information. Don’t go to jail or ruin your life over a few hundred dollars. I promise you the lawyer will cost more, so why bother. Unless you are so dumb or cheap to opt out for a public defender, then you already know your fate. As far as life goes, we all want or have wanted to be someone else at a moment in time, but remembered we are just who we are. I say be proud of that and own it. We have all wanted to be better than the person we think people see. Unsure who that is through their eyes we try to make ourselves more and still end up being less. Then feel sorry about it and wallow in self pity, doubt and hatred not only for ourselves but for those we tried to impress.

The thing is I like who I am and don’t need any hallelujah or thank you Jesus from no one to just be me. I am comfortable in my skin and whoever don’t like it then they don’t have to deal with it. When I look in the mirror I see who I am and not who everyone wants me to be. If you start trying to change for other then when you look in the mirror and don’t recognize who you have become, then who are you? You can’t claim yourself because you need validation from whoever you changed for to tell you who you are or have become. Now I get it some of us need change but for yourself not for others. If you know that you are a horrible person then yes by all means change and quickly please. But it you are a good person and don’t quite fit in then you just don’t fit in. Make yourself a magnet and have them try to fit onto you and who you are not the other way around. If they still don’t attach themselves to you then maybe you are trying to fit in the wrong places, and faces.

Believe me there is a group for everyone just like that is a person for everyone. Who knows you might just end up being that life of the party that you were hoping for in the beginning. Then again you might just fine that piece that fits so well that you don’t care if the rest doesn’t match up well at all. You may land that job that you have been wanting for so long that you now have the opportunity to turn them down. You could start that successful business you been working on for years but didn’t have the nerve or will to put yourself out there. Trust it feel good being the boss of your own destiny. No matter what unlock the true you so that you can be happy, and love who you are as a person and not what others think about you. Remember it is only an opinion and not a fact unless you accept it as who you are.

Learning People in Your Circle

Goddess afternoon Royals. First give praise to the all High.

When I tell you learning things about people in your circle is like learning how to love them all over again. The question is can you learn to love someone once you have found out something that make you not want to know them at all. I am having a hard time trying to look this person in their face and continue to have the same love for them I once had or shall I say I do have. It is not the same for me because once someone have changed my opinion about them it is had to go back to the way things use to be.

I can see if someone else played a part in the changing of my opinion about a person but this isn’t the case. It is the person themself that have changed my mind, heart, and outlook on them. This is hard for me but in the same sense I know that I still have love for them just not the same kind of love. My war status has changed as well as my standing in their corner no matter what.

Judge me for I have judged another, but only by his standards and not by mind. For he is ashamed of himself as well as he should be but there is still love for him in me just not as strong as it once were.
