Revolutionary Existence

Pay Attention. Empress in Her Essence / 28 / College Graduate - Student of Life / Role Model - Model / Guided by the Most High / Spiritual Being / Artist / Writer / Residing on the Island of Manhattan - The Magnificent Harlem to be Exact. Bringing Beauty to those who seek it with Black Thought, Black Beauty, Black History, Black Love, Black Excellence, Mother Earth's Appeal, A taste of Me - the curator and plenty of Love. Established 10/01/11. Unsatisfied with the world's repetitive opposing narrative and view of Black folk, I created a space of Black rootz and culture. Changing the narrative meant altering the view while empowering the ostracized. With this platform, I hope to intrigue, inspire and enlighten many minds; all while gathering, sharing, learning and growing myself. Begin to savor the Infinity of Blackness. BLACK POWER but most importantly, Black Love.

“All my skinfolk ain’t kinfolk” Zora Neal Hurston

[disciplesofmalcolm]

“You will love the things that destroy you, and you will hate the things that advance your growth. Look at your behavior. Look at the behavior of your compatriots and watch if what I’m saying is not true.

‘I hate to read. I hate to study. I hate to learn. Oh, but I love to party. I love to smoke. I like to drink. I love to screw.’ And all the loves you will find will be loves that what? That don’t advance you one bit, and yet you can’t get over them. You’re addicted to them.

But things that lead to growth, to growth and wisdom, knowledge, you see, self-understanding and self-discovery, healthy relations, self-control; all those things are hateful.

But this is the only way a minority can rule over a majority of people, is by turning their minds backwards. So that they love the things that destroy them and hate the things that move them forward. In order for these people to rule over us, we must hate learning. This has to be built into us.

If we were into learning, if we were into research, and into thinking, and into real philosophical ideas and abstraction, we would defeat those people. They know it. So consequently, what they must do is rob you of all of these things so that they may stay in their place.”

-Dr. Amos N. Wilson

This is how you listen to someone before you hit them with facts.

This deserves endless reblogs

Our people are very much aware of the thievery of the Tamahu.

When we know the truth of our ‘black’ history, there’s no room for white lies.

Much love and respect to the young sis❤️

As frightening as it may seem at times, this is the only way to attract, to become, to learn who we truly are and what is divinely for ourselves. BE
