Why do I refer to African American men and women as Kings and Queens?

We are Kings and Queens because: Our culture runs deep in variation from rich in family traditions to the struggle of being one of the most oppressed cultures. Our fight within us and is a never-ending battle throughout our history and our future to come.

No matter if we are mixed with any other race we are still apart of this totality together. Rich or Poor, Educated or Uneducated (which is never true) you don’t have to be book smart to be life smart, education starts at birth, it starts within.

Black people are genetically built to rise, to succeed, to overcome, to stand out and to stand up. Usage of “Kings and Queens” is the foundation of our Pride, Culture, Status, Birth Right, and don’t leave out the expectation to be Respected by all. Under Kings and Queens are Prince and Princess <- those of who we teach, we build, we support. Under Kings, Queens, Prince, Princess is everyone else <- who we lead, we encourage, we set examples, we nurture, we teach that we are more than the labels we were given. We are more than the undermining we are apart of this world and its facts that we do stand out for a reason.

It’s the people who, near and far, know everything that’s wrong with you and love you always. These are the people who you tell your secrets, who get themselves a glass of water without asking when they’re at your house. These are your people, your middle-of-the-night, no-matter-what people. It’s time to start building your legacy and leaving your mark on the world. Pick your inner circle carefully because this will help you build your foundation and legacy.

What-if’s, Should-have’s, and If-only’s

If I had a Time Machine….

What is your universal truth? What determines the person you honestly are?

The What-if’s, Should-have’s, and If-only’s are everywhere. They plague the mind with skepticism and regret. They tend to enforce false ideas and, hypothetically, failure in one’s self-growth. What I intend to say by this is that every individual has disputed themselves with these questions and phrases at least once. This even includes the heroes or greatest of people. But overall, what causes the difference of actions pursued by each individual? What makes them successful? Continue reading “What-if’s, Should-have’s, and If-only’s” →
