Creating Cultural Swag In Our Youth

Casa

June 20, 2011

It’s a beautiful day in California.  The breeze is calm, such a delight like a piece of sweet potato pie.  I’m sitting in my empty bedroom writing these words, listening to the quiet beat of my soul.  I’m complete right now.  I feel at ease right now.  I’m eager right now to accomplish more than ever before.  It’s so amazing right now.  I’m starting to experience the difference that I make in people’s lives.  I just finished my 1st annual Village Teen Leadership Conference. It’s a true labor love and it opened me up to a whole new world of what leadership is. Leadership means to be confronted by your fears while continuing on your journey to other side of power, fulfillment,  and transformation. I am aliveness, fun, and freedom this is what runs through my veins.  I’ve gotten complete on stuff from the past such as; I’m a failure, I can’t get it right, an I don’t need this, or I don’t need you!  These stories have run my life for some years now.  However, the most amazing discovery for me is that I’ve never taken responsibility for my life!  When your constantly being confronted you get lots of freedom, power to make your own choices in life.  Today, my family and I are leaving for Cleveland.  My wife is now Doctor Venaya Jones.  Idris is 10 years old heading to 5th grade.  Naimah is 12 years old heading to 7th grade.  I promise and declare to create and sustain a powerful non-profit that makes a difference for individuals, schools, communities, the society, and the world!  My ability to speak, perform music, and drama, create school programs, workshops, and conferences will give society their souls and spirits.  I declare to provide a rich and rewarding life for my family.  I left Cleveland leaving my home.  I’m leaving California going back home.  Home to me is your personal place of freedom, power, and peace of mind.

Peace!
