Hello my brothers. Brothers, just wanting to check in with you all. Our Wednesday calls have been incredibly healing for me — the spiritual, ancestral opening, the support, the brotherhood. This container means a lot. There’s been a shift in my world and with the new role I’ve stepped into, I’m not going to be able to make the Wednesday calls for the time being. I don’t want to tap out of the group — I really want to stay connected and keep doing this work with you all. Fridays are very flexible for me, and I’ve spoken to Uncle Song who is okay with the shift if you are. So I wanted to ask you brothers if you’d grant me the grace of moving our call to Fridays AEST (Thursdays in the US). If it doesn’t work for the collective, I fully honour that and will find another way to stay tapped in. I don’t want to disrupt the rhythm — just putting it out there with respect. I’ll miss today’s call, but I’m hoping we can circle back next week if the shift feels right for everyone. Much love, brothers. 🙏🖤

Hey brothers I didn’t see the call was yesterday, I thought it was today and I was preparing to join tonight. If the call is on Mondays going forward I am not sure I will be able to attend as consistently. My partner has a school she plans and prepares for on Monday and Wednesday evenings for the class the next day. I usually help with our kids and I also help her with preparing for the class those evenings. Please let me know if this is the new schedule when you have a chance

Hello Brothers, I wanted to send love and positive energy to you all. I drove to Atlanta Sunday evening and I’ve been here since with my family for the holiday weekend. I realized I missed both calls and I apologize for not communicating my absence with more detail beforehand. Given the timing and unique circumstances I doubt this will happen again. I drove up here to spend time with my mom; she’s on her journey to healing from alcoholism so this has been such a beautiful experience for me to see her in her glow. My younger brother Spartacus (lives here too) is only 2 years apart from me. We have such a special bond because, you all know that have been there to hear my story, it was he and I for most of my childhood. He has seen & experienced what I speak about in our container. My brother’s father was abusive and my mother escaped shortly after my brother was born. Even though she left him, his abusive behavior was imprinted on me. I transferred whatever abusive energy I received onto my younger brother and that eventually created a void between us for many years. Especially after my stepfather met my mother and he was just as bad with his hands. Even though I felt he was evil, my brother took to him because of his on father wound. He never was able to meet his biological father where he would be able to remember him. So before I began my shadow work I never fully accepted that my brother and I may have internalized my stepfathers energy differently. And with that I was too immature to see past it so we clashed more than we meshed and that was fuel to an already burning fire where two boys are growing up together. As we got older and I moved to my aunts for highschool our paths separated. Overtime he heard the stories of my failures and made his own judgements of me, ridiculed me, even down right fist fought me in a vendetta he admitted was fuel by resentment of me because of how I treated him when we were younger I write this all to give context. I spent energy trying to reimagine my relationship with my brother internally because he was someone that was there for most of my journey. This week something shifted. I was myself unapologetically and the screenshot you see is what he sent me today after we wrapped up our time together.

Hello Family, I hope you’re all well. I have been moving through a lot of personal reflection and in this my niece who is a year older than me because of the age of my older sister when she had her. Reached out to me randomly to say hello. It’s been over a year since we last spoke, in this conversation I spoke about where I am and my father got brought up. I know this is her grandfather, but in this moment she brought a new lens to me. She talked about him with so much love, and admiration and even spoke about how he pulled her out of an abusive trauma filled home she was living in under her grandparents on her father’s side. To provide more clear guidance, my older sister (who told me things about my father’s past) was a victim of rape as a teenager and gave birth to my niece as a result. Because of this my niece was in the foster care system because my sister was not mentally stable enough to support her daughter at that time. So eventually my niece ended up with her father’s family. But her grandmother was not very kind to her, so after years apparently of this my niece prayed to have someone help her and one dad my dad was walking down Nostrand ave in brooklyn and she saw him and he saw her. He ran up to her and she begged for him to help her and he did. She told me he never harmed her; or touched her ever. She knows he is very intense and strict but she loves him so much and she always will. This is important to me because as you all saw in my father story, I was painting a picture of a “monster” but then out of the blue the universe/ancestors sent a new voice and perspective into my awareness for my father. That being said I plan to have a conversation with him and really feel out where I am with him, I love you all.

I give you all grace, time is valuable and how we spend it is a gift. I feel grateful to share moments of reflection with you all. I am looking forward to the call later 🙏🏾
