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
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
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:...
You Must Move With Spirit
Maya's moving to Ghana… Even though these are uncertain times, even though we're in a pandemic, even though not all family members approve. "I'm following the signs in front of me," Maya says. "I'm going where the river is taking me." I first met this bold business woman several months ago… …And when I did a spiritual reading for her back then, I...
We Are Here To Evolve
I was talking to my friend from Ghana via Zoom about two weeks ago... ....I was moved by some of the things she was saying, and I started taking notes to share with you. We met because she wanted more information about one of my passions -- teaching people how to make money on-line by trading in the largest financial markets in the world. But...
Something Good Can Come From This
Greetings, I ran into my friend Sarah a few weeks ago.... She owns a popular, Caribbean-inspired restaurant in Oakland called Miss Ollie's. Great food -- I love her fried chicken. Anyways, she was in good spirits when I saw her. To be honest, I was surprised because I had been a bit worried about her. As you know, the restaurant industry, like...
Stay Positive
Just wanted to say a quick hello... Challenging times for all of us. Who knew that a virus could turn our lives upside down in a short period of time? ...I didn't. Very few people saw this coming. My youngest son and daughter have both been laid off. My eldest son, a businessman, is at home with his kids. How has the corona pandemic impacted you...
You Can Let It Go Now
I heard from my friend, Fanya, recently... ...I was surprised because it's been many years. She hit me up on FB Messenger. And she was telling me how she's in a totally different place now. As I read her text I smiled, and the more I read the more I smiled. It was refreshing. Fanya is no longer in a dark place like she was years ago. Back then it...
We Ride Again
I know it's been a minute.... Just launched a new trailer to support my book, Meditations Across The King's River. We shot the footage when I went home to St. Croix last fall. You'll meet Jeremiah in this clip. Without his help, these shots of us riding along the beach wouldn't have happened. When I told Jerimiah what I envisioned, he said, let's...
Stay In The Game
Belated Happy New Year to you and your family... Please know you can count on my support as you navigate through 2020. I saw Steel Pulse -- one of my favorite reggae bands -- in concert, two days before the new year began. Seeing them in concert brought back lots of memories, but it also made me think of you and me and your new year goals. I...
