You Can’t Wait Forever

Greetings , In March, my friend, Funlayo, will be traveling to Zimbabwe for one week. It will be her first visit to the African continent, and I'm so happy for her. Funlayo will be staying in a fishing village near the beach, and she'll have an opportunity to dance, eat great food, and immerse herself in the culture. I wish I were going. I know...

In Spirit And Struggle

I'm so proud of the work that Jeanette Charles of Iya Global is doing. She recently launched, In Spirit and Struggle, a collective coaching program to empower others, and she asked me to be the first speaker to kick off her ambitious, eight-week offering that began two weeks ago. We did a short interview two weeks before the program started so...

Every Storm Runs Out of Rain

Every Storm Runs Out of Rain

Every storm runs out of rain.... ...That's what Kurt said last night. He's one of my mentors. Kurt happens to be an expert in cryptocurrency, and since I mentor others in trading and investing, I pay close attention to what he says. But you don't have to be into the world of trading to apply what Kurt is saying to your life. It's spiritual and...

Happy New Year

Happy New Year

I hope 2021 got off to a great start for you. I spent the first day of the day year visiting my sister, Joan. She makes a delicious gumbo. Anyway, as we sat around listening to music and talking, I flipped through an old family album she has and found a baby picture of myself when I was two years old. Who knows what my parents were thinking when...

You Can’t Miss Your Road

You Can’t Miss Your Road

You can't miss your road, my friend. ...That's what I've come to realize. Your road is your purpose or the spiritual messages your ancestors are sending to you. I'm telling you this because as I work with clients, many are not sure if they're receiving spiritual messages on their own. Yes, it can be challenging, but here's the thing you ARE...

There Is Power In Faith

There Is Power In Faith

There is power in faith... That's what my eldest son, Malcolm, was saying the other day. We were in his truck, on our way to buy a new water heater for our home, when our spiritual conversation began. I listened, and I smiled, and I wanted to share. If you know our story, or if you've read my book, Meditations Across The King's River, you know my...

Saying Goodbye to a Young Master

Saying Goodbye to a Young Master

Leric is gone... Well, he's gone but not really gone; he's making his presence known in many ways. The accident happened last month in Bermuda when his motorcycle collided with a car. Leric is the son of one of my clients. He was only 21. He left us on his sister's birthday. She's only 25. We're still in shock. I learned about his passing almost...

You Can’t Stop Now

Greetings, I had a great talk with my friend Jeanette recently. She describes herself as "a proud daughter of the Haitian Diaspora raised by working class Black and Brown Los Angeles." Jeanette is an international scholar-activist, life coach, and studying Ifa priestess. Her coaching is rooted in black internationalism and African spirituality,...

A Salute To the Black Panther

A Salute To the Black Panther

Like the rest of the world I was shocked and saddened by the passing of Chadwick Boseman -- our beloved Black Panther. ...Yet I am also inspired by the incredible legacy he left us all. My son, Diallo, broke the news to me late Friday evening. Then, over the next 48 hours, I learned what had been hidden for so long. Mr. Boseman had been diagnosed...

Why You Must Balance Spiritual and Financial Growth

Why You Must Balance Spiritual and Financial Growth

Greetings, I included a chapter on balancing spiritual and financial growth in my book, Meditations Across The King's River because I felt it was a conversation we need to have. ...I still feel that way. And that's what I said when I was interviewed on the radio show Africa Today about two years ago. If you missed it, you can listen to it here:...
