June 14th, 2020, I turned 26 years old. I love birthdays for the time to reflect on successes, failures, and plan for what is to come.

As mentioned in the episode, if you'd like to offer a gift to me please donate to Muhammad's Economic Blueprint. Details:

HELP IN OUR CAUSE!

I do not typically ask for gifts on my birthday, but this year I want to activate all means to support my people in actually creating the change we've dreamed about for generations.

If you would like to offer a gift to me on my birthday, I ask that you donate to Muhammad's Economic Blueprint. economicblueprint.com

MY GOAL IS TO RAISE $1000 and I GIVE MY WORD to pay out of my own pocket the difference if I do not meet my goal (by donation) by July 4th, 2020 (the day Minister Farrakhan will address the World).

This donation will be a blessing to you and our community as The Holy Quran teaches us to "spend out of what Allah (God) gives" to us. Any donation will suffice and aid in the elevation of our community & the whole of humanity!

I have been positively shocked at the expressed outrage & voice of my Latino brothers & sisters, especially those who were not as vocal before the televised lynching of George Floyd (may Allah [God] be pleased with him). This is an exciting conversation to deepen the convo about our history as peoples in the Americas, culture, and the role we all have in exposing & acting against an unjust system.

I sat down with 4 of my friends to discuss their perspective of the role of the Latino/Hispanic community in the Black Lives Matter movement. Can we ever be united?  Please comment your thoughts, share to continue the conversations, & don't forget to subscribe!  More episodes at anchor.fm/titime

Today is June 3rd, 2020.

The current situation in America involves Nationwide protests for Black lives, Black community mobilization towards unity & solidarity, and the never-ending legal battles for rights of Black lives in America to live freely with equal access to the "Land of Opportunity." 

It is my perspective that Black people need to Do For Self and build our own schools, banks, housing systems, economy, hospitals, churches, mosques, sanitation centers....we need to build a New Black Wall Street. It has been shown that rights will not be given to our community, so let's use the leverage of our UNITY (Black Power) to create the path forward for ourselves. 

By the way, Farrakhan Speaks on July 4th, 2020.

Here is part 2 of my conversation about Black education in America. Because education is the root of success and we have to take our education into our own hands!

We are tired.

Of police brutality

Of white women & their FALSE accusations of our men

Of the disparities in opportunities & benefits between Black communities and others

Of the pain inflicted on our community for WHO WE ARE, FOR LIVING, FOR BREATHING.

WE ARE TIRED.

What is next for Black people in America? How long will we have to suffer? What is the purpose of it? Who can guide us? We hope that this conversation can shed some light on what next steps for our people as individuals and a community can be. This is a critical conversation, especially for Black youths in the street and in their homes who feel SICK AND TIRED.

Tune in.

Adulthood: truth or myth? My generation has struggled through changes unimaginable to the "Baby Boomers" and even Gen X or Z (or QPT)----- WE HAVE HAD TO ADAPT TO LIFESTYLES UNKNOWN TO EVERYONE ON THE EARTH. From college degrees to social media verification, adulthood has not been what we were raised to believe. Have we thrived or failed at being adults? Let's chat & reflect on our experiences after the safety of childhood. (I think none of us are meant to change "hoods.")
