Blog postDon’t Let Them Get ComfortableI am surprised the fox is just now coming around in my selection of folktales. Those that don’t know the fox in Aesop fables is in every role, from the bad guy, to the hero, to the instigator, and traitor. This animal is the trickster that you find on every content and in every story tradition on this planet. (My fault he was the bowman and the lion tale)In this

Blog postExperience MattersI love this story because it stresses the power of experience. The mother is looking over her chicks and raising them up and from her bag of experience she not only taught them a powerful lesson, but also those of us who read the story. The moral of the story is “Self help is the best help” which is a powerful statement on its own, but the lesson I learned from the story was

Blog postStand Up, But Be ready to FightSeeking what is yours in the court of an oppressor never works out well. This story reminds us of this. I think that it was stories like this that really made me fall in love with Aesop. He showed that if you really want something that requires you getting permission from others you have to be willing to fight. Freedom can never be given it has to be snatched out

Blog postDon’t Lose What You Have For Imaginary GainsHere is another folktale about losing ourselves in pursuit of something that is not ours, and truly can never be. We to birds that were gifted with the ability to sing, that became enamored with the neigh of a horse. When I first heard this one I could do nothing but laugh because I had been caught in situations like this. The swan and kite in the

Blog postA True Sucker MoveThis is a tale of enslavement, and as sad as it is I have to make sure that my readers get the point. Please realize that this horse was a slave long before he took the man as his partner. The horse fell prey to the Unbalanced passions that we often talk about in Gye-nyame long before the bit was placed in his mouth. He led himself toward destruction and sacrificed everything

Blog postKnow Yo $#!+This is a key lesson that I hope that you get. If you have been reading these posts then you are someone that wants to make improvements to your current life. This means that you need to work on becoming a master of something. Preferably something that you can offer to your community that they need.

Blog postLoyalty, Loyalty, LoyaltyThis story touched my heart because loyalty is one of the pillars in Gye-Nyame Journey. This seems to be a dying thing in these modern days and times. Sometimes I feel that everyone is for sale. But this story gives me hope. I know that it is about a little dog but to know that even back in the days of Aesop they had some of the same issues gives me hope. For those of

Blog postSometimes The Enemy Looks Like YouThis folktale spits a hard truth into our face, that many will find hard to head but my friend please get it. Do not allow the look of someone or the feelings of familiarity fall upon you in all situations. Just because someone looks like you and have all the right lingo does not make them your ally. History is riddled with the bodies of those that were betrayed

Blog postYou can’t Be Fooled If You Know Who You AreHere we are with another story about the ass. I told you that the ass provided much material for Aesop, and has produced many nuggets of wisdom for us. The ass in this story demonstrated I believe a lesson that we all need to get. Now remember I am looking at this folktale through my lens, my view is not the only view as you will here in the attached

Blog postAre You feeding Your Heart Or Your StomachThe folktale we will look at here is important because it focuses on one of the unbalanced passions (this is what we call them in Gye-Nyame training) that has destroyed more lives and broken more homes than any other vice. We are talking about greed. Striving to get more than you deserve and in many cases more than you could use. Greed is a deadly vice

Blog postKnow Your EnemiesIn war it is very important to have scouts. These are soldiers or warriors that go ahead of the normal troops, to get an idea of what the enemy has waiting for their army. The scouts job is to gather information about the enemy and bring it back to their leaders so that they could more effectively deal with future battles. Do you have scouts in the world. I promise after this

Blog postThe Unnoticed wealth Within (Lessons from an Ass)The ass is a beast of burden that Aesop frequently uses to teach lessons. This one strikes me as important, and I believe my take on this story may have not been the original lesson, but I am sure that it will help many of those that take the time to read.In my tribe one of the first things that we strive to do is to get people to start learning

Blog postTo Thine OwnSelf Be TrueI actually did not pick this fable as my first choice, but it just happened to be the first one that I relistened to when I was putting my playlist together. It popped up and I gave the discussion a listen and it blew my wig back. Please understand when I do my shows I rarely go back and listen to them. Most of the time I press the button and go, and after the show I move

Blog postThe Right Of DescensionIntroductionThe right of descension is something that we don't talk about much these days. It is a principle from our past when we were tribes who had no clear boundaries or territories.

Blog postThe Mimetic VirusGreat Ujima:I thought that reviewing this video as well as creating this article fit the theme of the day. Memes are a double edged sword that can be used to help us in our proces, but just like any other tool if it is used incorrectly it can cause a lot of damage. In the article I do not focus on ways that we can use memes to build, I focused on how the virus can do damage

Blog postEat Your CultureIntroductionWhat do you think of when you think of African-American food? Most people would probably answer "soul food," the style of fare served in both the American South and in urban areas across the country. Although popular, this term is considered offensive by many who are more familiar with the history behind it. For example, Dr. Jessica B. Harris refers to "soul food" as "

Blog postPractice & Play Your PositionIntroductionLeaders, we need to practice and play our position. In 2020, the definition of a “Leader” has changed so much. Everyone seems to call themselves a leader these days. How many times have you heard someone say “I’m not a leader”? Yet somehow people who consider themselves not a leader are leading entire teams! They are managing budgets and have reports on

I say that our community needs to take the leadership role in molding and shaping our youth so they can become productive adults, who understand how to be leaders in their homes, communities, and workplaces. The issue is not “what

Blog postFairweather FriendsIntroductionSome people will only be your friend when you're doing well. They seem to be there whenever things are going well for you, but the moment something goes wrong in your life they disappear like a thief in the night.
