I mean...What Are We Talking About For Real?
I'm talking about F.R.E.E., Free.
⚡ Fearlessly Rejecting Exploitative Energy ⚡
Free to Choose & Free to Be.
Is That a Journey Worth the Pursuit?
Is it an Experience I Can Create for Me and My Family?
& Maybe for You...?
I mean...,What Good is it if You Can’t See Your Own Light Too?
One has to Be the Hero of their Own Story.
Life is About the Choices We Make, so...It's for You to Choose.
How Can I Light a Way for the Black Identity to Stretch its Roots?
Trust & Believe, There are More Ways to the Top than Just Youtube & Hoops.
Rather Than Tell, I Will Show You.
Make the Moves that Excite You, Free from Limiting Views.
That’s where Black Liberation meets Cool.
That’s where Freedom Attracts to You.
I can see a Vision. One Full of Light ⚡.
To Be Free is to Be Liberated…Free in the Mind.
To Be Liberated is to Be Present—Aware in Time. To Be Free is to Go for Your Goals, Learn from Failure & Not Bat an Eye.
Why Do I Respond to the World in the Way that I Do?
How Can I Choose a More Positive View?
To Feel Worthy to Explore My Desires Naturally,
To Exist Without Fear & Constraint,
To Move Through Life, Dancing to My Own Rhythm.
I Do it for Lil' Saint...
The Lil' Saint in Me.
This is the Vision I’ve Been Exploring: Imagining How it Could Be.
If the Black Identity,
Rooted in Resilience, Rhythm, & Depth, Embraced a Mindset Filled with Inner G,
Where Fulfilled is the New Inner Me.
Full of Abundance.
Yes, Limitations Exist Presently & Historically.
But a Little “Delusion” Will Do.
Let's Speak Some Truth:
The Only Opposition that Matters is You vs. You.
You are in Control of How You Respond to What Happens to You.
So Why not Choose Thoughts that Serve the Best Version of You?
Your Mind is All There is. Thoughts Become Things.
Look. Everything Around You Exists because Someone Decided to Think.
My Vision for Self-Growth Blends the Richness of the Black Experience
With Unshackled Imagination & Self-belief,
Bypassing the Limitations Society has so Insidiously Made Us Believe.
Systemic Oppression is Real.
They Stripped Us of Our Own Self Identity & Self Esteem.
So Go Within to Find You.
Quiet Your Mind, Limit Distractions & Observe Your Thoughts,
You'll Know What to Do.
Race is a Man Made Concept—it’s not Even Real.
Yeah, We Have Black Skin, but Within, Our Soul Reveals.
Blackness is an Epigenetic Experience,
Transitioned from Slavery & Working in the Fields.
They Controlled Our Minds, but Our Collective Spirit Won't Yield.
How do We Balance the Fact that We're not in Control...
Yet We are Responsible for the Outcome of Our Lives?
Freedom begins from Within.
Go for What You Want.
Let that Light Shine.
Know that You have More to Offer the World than what You Currently Can See.
Use that Third Eye.
Connect that Mind with that Body.
Listen With Your Heart. Listen to Your Soul.
Find your Inner Chi.
See, I Like This Version of Me.
I am a powerful Inner G.
I am a Black man living a Black experience.
I am creative. I am cool. I am powerful. I am innovative. I am resourceful too.
I am relaxed. I am reflective. I am loving. I am healthy. I am wealthy. I am true.
I am determined. I am abundant. I am still. I am healed.
I am empathy revealed. I am You.
This is my vision for Collective Self-Awareness and Self-Belief.
True Liberation comes from Embracing those Special Parts of Our Identity.
Learn Who You are & Create the Reality You Prefer to See.
This Mindset has Been Hinted at Throughout Our History,
Cultivated in our Art & Exemplified by those Who Dared to See Themselves Beyond the Constraints of What They could Feel & See.
What I’m talking about is the Black Radical Imagination—a theory by Robin D.G. Kelley that Envisions a New Future of Emancipated thinking.
It’s More than a Dream.
Imagination is the Portal through which I Define Me.
Reality is the Dimension through which I Experience Inner Peace.
Transform Your Thoughts into Feelings & Bring it to Life.
