Masai's First Feature

Today Masai had his gardening book featured as a group gardening class(how dope is that)!!! Thanks to Royale Boy and Tovah TC Tanner who are another homeschooling publishing duo. This opportunity is just one of many Masai the Warrior and I hope to have shared with our community.

Masai the Warrior's mission is to spread holistic health, eating,and living to all his peers. We are truly humbled and honored by this opportunity😉.

Today We Celebrate

What did you do with your Seed's today in celebration of Nineteenth!?!? Masai and I watched a REAL kool short animated cartoon,and talked about the meaning of how it must have felt to be told you were FREE! Unfortunately with tears in my eyes I had to tell my 4yr old Sun.

Although with the mouth we were told we were free. However we have NEVER been free😢. He cried(for his brothers),I cried for my Sun's...so we decided to take a rest. After a short nap we decided to jump start our celebrations by making homemade Spaghetti and Vegan Veggies Meatballs for Abba and the brother for dinner.

Regardless to how painful it is,we need to make sure our Seeds know our history. So checkout this neat little video https://youtu.be/2UqqkSWfZgc

The BeYOUitful Melanated Child

             I pray your start of the week has been full of family,friends dreams reached,goals met,and lots of love. Our week so far has been uneventful. However my  youngest Sun Masai the Warrior is full of life and keeps me extremely busy.

              He is so full of life and tons of energy....I repeat active and FULL of energy!! As we go through out day to day route I watch him sweep through our daily curriculum and activities,and I'm like woow this lil dude is freaking AWESOME. I've been BLESSED to have birth three of the greatest contribution to the world in the form of my 3 AMAZING Sun's😀.

               However #3 has been something of a relearning experience.. lol. Being an older parent(hub's and I will be 58 when he walks across the stage). So at a few months short of 42yrs old I laugh...thinking what the hezzz I done got myself into. Although this is not my first ride on the bus of parenthood (I've got a 22 and 20yr old Sun's).

                It's really scary with all that's going on in the world right now, police opening fire on us like it's hunting season,and Africans not knowing their worth killing each other. This world is a kinda screwed up place.

                  Nonetheless I try hard not to clip his wings with my fears, of what it means to be a melanated male in this world today. I already have anxieties when it comes to his brother's who are out in the elements.

                    So as hard as it's been seeing our babies being gunned down like animals in the street. I've decided I just have to find a peaceful balance, for my sun. While still instilling healthy discipline, boundaries, communication, and lots of love, patience and understanding. So that he'll be a productive member in society(that unfortunately in a lot of ways still doesn't respect him).I know it'll be work, and hard at time, however such is life!
 
                     So if you have a natural born leader (I've been blessed with three), my advice would be keep nurturing their spirit, through love, prayer, meditation and physical stimulating and watch them soar to be all that the Most High has destined them to be, despite a world that wants to stunt his growth!!!

No Ordinary Child

To all the parent's of those Strong-willed lil ppl....I salute you!! I've raised 2,working on #3..lol!! Our babies are literally born geniuses! I understand the task ahead of you.
Embrace it and enjoy the ride.

After working in Early Childhood Education for 23 yrs,with children from ages birth to 3yrs of age. I was simple amazed at the capabilities our children had to learn, grasps,and apply what they were taught. However over time believe it or not structure killed their Spirit. Being told what,and how to do things from 6:30am-5:30pm is an imagination killer.

Unfortunately the term 'Free Choice' you hear thrown around in schools,daycares and the likes. Free choice is really just,a choice of structured choices...lol. Order is definitely needed that's just common sense. However the freedoms to completely be one's unrestricted self is also needed for the whole self and mental health☺.

So if you have never read Dr. Amos N. Wilson "Awaking the Natural Genius of Black Children" you definitely want to grab it up. So all that to say parents stop being KILL JOY'S....and allow your Seed's to be their true unique selves!!! The role of being ordinary is already taken,and being filled by the masses😏...lol

I Salute You REAL Men Stand Up(Talib Ntwadumela Muwwakkil)

Today my I Salute You REAL Men Stand Up is Talib Ntwadumela Muwwakkil. Talib and I met at a Kwanzaa Celebration in our hometown. A little while after that we became Facebook buddies.

Talib is a joy to interact with on the Book. His bold stance on Melanated Love, History, and the likes is awesome. It's so beYOUitful to see the love and devotion he FREELY share concerning his wife. I love to see him put his beYOUitful soul Sistar Queen on the pedestal she deserves.

So many times we see our men doing side-ways,hurtful,and unnecessary crap,it's such a blessing to see the other side! Talib I met your lovely girls,at a KC Melanated Homeschooling Event. Please keep giving them an example of what Melanated Love looks like(hell keep showing these grown men what it looks like).

Talib I pray Abba Yah continue to bless you and keep you and yours, surrounding you and yours, in light,love,and shalom,as you continue to strive to reach your high calling and completion.....

I Salute You REAL Men Stand Up(Bonafyde G.Weddington)

Today's I Salute You REAL Men Stand Up is Bonafyde G.Weddington! I actually first met G at the Blue Room in KC at a Poetry Event. Dat o'l country boi got dem SKILLS..lol!!!

Then in 2009 we officially met when the hubby,(guy I was just dating at the time..hehe),use to host one of the DOPEST weekly poetry events in KC named U-LIT!! It was beYOUitful to see Melanated people's(especially Men),coming together, to express themselves,talk about cultural, current events, and the likes.

Not only is G cold on the mic,dat boi got dem hands in the kitchen. I use to make it a point to go hungry to U-Lit on Wednesday so I could get my eat on..lol. There are so many factors to the one known as Bonafyde G. I have grown to have so much respect for him as a poet,and professional chef. However what I most admire about G,is his love and devotion for his children.

In a generation were being a half-ass deadbeat parent(father),is unfortunately the norm,it's pretty dope when you see those that are definitely exceptions to the rules. So G not that you need me to give you kudos. Nonetheless in the 9-10 years or so we have known each other,I have so much respect for you.

I'll never forget after Davar and I had been married for a few years,your remark was you the Real one,he(Davar),had other ones, but you the keeper Sun...lol. We laughed about that for days..lol! Anywho I Salute You Sir,and pray Abba Yah continue to bless the work of your hands,and cover your beYOUitful babies in safety and shalom...light,and love!!!

I Salute You REAL Men Stand Up(Eric Person)

Today's I Salute You REAL Men Stand Up is Eric Person! Eric and I first met at a Community event, where Mama C was speaking. Our encounter was brief, however I was very interested in the work he was doing as a Melanated Farmer in KC.

Several weeks later I saw a class he was offering and jumped on the opportunity. My Sun and I have had a garden every year off his life,with most of the food he plants all by his self. So I thought it would be pretty dope for him to see a man(that looked like him) planting,and growing food. This has become  something Masai loves to do.

Eric's class was very informative and educational. Masai soaked up every single word of it. So much so that when we got home he told his Abba all about the man with the loc's and Red,Black,and Green(which are his favorite colors) wrist bands,and beYOUitful tribel markings.  When he would see post from Eric(on my Facebook page while breastfeeding... lol) he'd get super excited... lol. One day he told his Abba and I that he loved him.

So Eric I know it gets discouraging when you're pouring all you got,into a broken system that doesn't understand,or value what they have in you...can be extremely overwhelming. Nonetheless know your work is needed,appreciated,and valued! Even when it seems no one cares, we salutes you. Also know there's a little boy from the Dotte that watches everything you do,great or small.

So not only do you have the Ancestors holding you up,and surrounding you in positive energy and shalom, you have Masai manifesting Black joy and PRIDE, by seeing the labor of love,and the gifts from your hands. So keep pushing,and lighting the way for the little Melanated children who will benefit from your legacy(Uncle E)..... now that's truly Manifesting Black Joy!

I Salute You REAL Men Stand Up(Michael Vogel)

Today's I Salute You REAL Men Stand Up is my brother Michael Vogel,or as we call him Uncle Mike! I'm giving this tribute to Uncle Mike! Mike stood in the gap for me as a single parent with Sun's.

Uncle Mike has been a part of my Sun's,my  Nephews,and little Cousin lives as long as I can remember. From homework,to a place to stay when the boys were feeling themselves... lol. To wrestling matches, and driving lessons he has done it all for my Sun's. No words can every express the love and gratitude I have for you.

You saw a need (a male figure)was needed,and stepped right up and in to fill the role. We love you Uncle Mike, and pray Abba Yah continue to bless you,and keep you surrounded in His love,light and shalom!!

For my second day of I Salute You REAL Men Stand Up is The Brats(what I call my Sun's)! Robert, Ryan,and Masai are literally my life line. I know people say all the  time how much they love their children....well I'm definitely one of'em!

My Sun's have brought me so much joy,and yes a lil pain....lol. However l know without a shadow of a doubt I have been BLESSED with amazing Sun's. I'm very PROUD of the young men they are becoming. I love they way they look out for each other,as well as me!

Even with it being 18,and 16yr space between #1 and #2,with #3,their bond is really tight. I could go on,and on,about the love I have for my Sun's(anyone who knows me,knows that I can...lol). I love you Brat's and thank Abba daily for allowing me to be your mom! You guys ROCK!

Keep shining,and grinding and living by the standards I installed in you,and you'll go far. Always put Abba Yah first and foremost at the head,and your path will be straight! I love you boy's...light,love,and shalom!
