Keep it a Bu¢k Podcast

There is so much that can be completed by staying consistent. We grow up in an age of instant gratification and rewards, when really the joy is in the process. Anything worked on daily is better than everything that is done just once. Dont be defeated by the work, rejoice in it. 

Rather your male or female, having healthy outlets to deal with past trauma is not something prevalent in the Black community. Few men even mention their trauma yet alone deal with it, but there seems to be a growing trend in women being comfortable mentioning their flaws but uncomfortable  and uninterested in a resolution. Everyone has issues and most of us have past trauma, there is help out there if you believe in the help and want it, so we encourage everyone to 1st identify then seek resolution or therapy. 

The place the Black man unwillingly occupies in this country is not for the weak at heart, in fact it's sole purpose to to rid the Black man of all emotion. The positioning of the Black man turned into a race for the spot, rather that's a spot out the hood, the spot at a job or with your favorite girl in the city. Birthed from this was our "cool' great at most times but it also manifested in Black men ignoring basic human emotions in lieu of maintaining the position of cool. 

The 1st question we must ask ourselves is, what is a Destiny and once you've wrapped your mind around that ask yourself where does a destiny come from. Saani unpacks the thought of who does and doesn't have a destiny. Are you in control of yours?

In light of the 2020 Riots stemming from the brutal killing George Floyd(Yet another unarmed Black man killed by the police) Saani gives his true takes on race in our country. He encourages Black people to talk openly with people of other cultures about said events(11:40).  Dear White People am I equal(16:45). He also acknowledges the FIGHT that is taking place and encourages those to fight however they see fit.(21:46).  In the  new fast paced world we exist in our priorities as well as most other things feel rushed and out of sorts. This is a direct result of what we are taught as well as what we are taught to revere. Paper is too respected in our culture(31:27). But Where does your health rank on your priority list? On a daily basis we nevermind our heath in favor of what we are "suppose to be " doing or what we want to do, in the long run this has a extreme negative effect on us and takes away the journey of life. 

"Reality is what's Real, not what it's supposed to be"

From American's salary to their dating there are certain standards of the way things are "Supposed to be", so much so that lying or neglecting ones actual self has become a lifestyle for many.  "Your Wife cheated, you gotta leave her" .......right?(26:20). Saani puts this in example form when he investigates the 'Good Morning Queen' era (33:34). Sanni suggest that posting lies online is the easiest way to Lose who you are in Reality(43:46), even suggesting that couples spend more time trying to act happy then actually making the relationship a happy one(44:45).

Could there be any connection between the lack of Black fathers in the house hold and our lack of heritage? Saani theorizes the posed question, but not before he reminds of what "Walking to the Store" was like(9:28). The basis of his theory centered on the youthfulness of the race itself, the African American Race being just over 400 years old(16:45).  Going on to explain how history is best transmitted through story(31:34), but if you don't have anyone there to tell you the stories then you start to create your own based on surface things(39:05). He ends by supporting the thing that was once heavily relied upon in our communities which was enter acting and complying as a village instead of just a neighbor(41:40), OG's play a big role in this(44:20)

If you were cheated on could you forgive the person and move past it, have you?(14:54).
