Black Belief!

I believe I am the answered prayer of a slave.

I believe that the God of my slave ancestors is outside of religion space and time

I believe that God is consistent and his word is his bond (promises)!

He promised:

hell on earth

calamity and suffering; on this he was clear

I know of the suffering of the black slaves

I know the suffering of generations to come and I empathize and stand to chant

BLACK LIVES MATTER

God’s truth holds in court

God assures peaks of peace and times of prosperous soulful restoration

the movement and belief that BlACK LIVES MATTER

witnesses to the struggle of souls

and the promised and answered prayers of slaves

that we would marry wisdom, dance with destiny and find peace in chaos

Proclaim our integrity

We will walk along with the historical negro voices

Our feet will hit rock, and legs will get scarred

Our voices will unite in a war cry

then, you will see our war dance

My people, My black people:

Stand with justice

And, light lady liberty’s flame

Be proud of our kinky hair and dark skin.

Black is beautiful.

God did not give us reason for doubt

But, he (God) promised a journey unlike any humans and overwhelming opportunities

I always wonder one day beside my name will they say “first negro to accomplish this” (whatever “this” is)

I was once a slave

But now we awaken and is FREE!

I was a slave until those cops killed my black brothers and sisters

I was a slave until I was denied rights based on the color of my skin

I was a slave until, I realized as a race, as a people; whom we were meant to be.

“Like Dust, I RISE!” Angelou said

For we are the rhythm and beat of a negro hymn

We triumph in memory believing, God is with us and gave a new name, a new identity and called us to a high calling

He called us his people, then he called us friend

and birthed us purposefully in an era of change, reconstruction, and opportunity

This is what I believe!

Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)

Kujichgulia- Self Determination

I determined to continue to make my voice heard on this earth about the injustice, inequality, discrimination, hatred, provoked fear and sexual assaults against my people. I have a voice I have a blog and I will write.

Because me too!

I’m determined to pray for my nation, and corrupted leaders. I am determined to stand against hate, march peacefully alongside lady justice. We can be the checks and the balance. American, do you hear us! Are we I being heard!

Is our voice loud enough! Do you feel our passion?? Do you feel our anger?? Do you see our hurt?

Because me too!

I am determined to speak prayers of life. Sings songs of encouragement. Write with integrity. I am determined to listen to the earth and to be its representative. Do you hear me! This is my office, the election I’ve won.

Because you too!

My black brothers, and kinky haired sister- you matter! your vote counts. when you walk stomp, carrying a belt of righteousness and the book of truth. When you speak make lightning come from your mouth. When you stomp, leave a footprint! Speak for the young! Be determined and resilient. Be courageous. Come death, hell, or high waters- We my brothers and sister; “we shall overcome” today! not someday!

Because us too!

Hand in hand we stand! Locked arms we are a mighty wall. And this is not Jericho, we will not be broken! Look to your left and your right, we have the angels on our side. We have Yahweh! With our walking sticks, we part waters and go to our promised land.

We are determined.

Because you too!
