3:29

, so , so

3:33

, so . So

3:35

what's going on in this segment ? I'll

3:37

tell you what's been going on in my life since

3:39

last episode . I've been busy

3:41

finishing up training at the new job

3:44

. I had a huge test , hence

3:46

why I didn't record . Two weeks ago , lucky

3:49

for everyone , I passed the final whoa

3:51

. I wrote these notes a while

3:53

ago , so things might be outdated

3:56

. Also , I want to blame

3:58

Boothang , because he

4:01

had somewhere to be and he had to beg

4:03

me To spend some time with him , so

4:06

that's why it's late as well . But

4:08

, as I said before , I'll

4:10

show up twice a week , every two

4:12

weeks . It's just a look over the draw

4:15

what day it's gonna be . So

4:17

anyway , like I said , I wrote

4:19

these notes a while ago , so things might be

4:21

outdated . Oh well , boo

4:23

thing and I are continuing to be outside

4:26

. We've been hanging with friends and catching

4:29

up on our lives . This mercury

4:31

retrograde has been kicking my booty

4:33

hole . That's brown . I got into

4:35

it with about three people . One

4:37

person asked me to do something . I did

4:40

it and they were mad , trying to come

4:42

for me with the usual boring shit oh

4:44

you're 40 years old . Oh you're too

4:46

old to be messy . Oh you're a mom

4:48

go take care of your kids . And I'm

4:51

like kids . I got kid kid . So

4:54

I handled it in the best petty , professional

4:56

way I could . A few days passed

4:59

, I shout out my ancestors for

5:01

my blessings via social media . I

5:04

told my social media friends that ancestors

5:06

aren't demonic . Try it out

5:08

. A Christian felt triggered by

5:10

my status . The Christian felt that

5:12

God should get the glory . It

5:15

was some back and forth . I can't

5:17

be cool , though . I reminded

5:19

the christian the options of scrolling , talking

5:21

to their sky daddy and sitting

5:24

with themselves to earn internally

5:26

unpack why they felt the need to

5:28

comment on my page . I think

5:30

christians like that are either mad

5:32

that a non-Christian like myself

5:34

, I'm not being punished

5:36

for venerating my ancestor , or

5:39

is jealous that I'm free and out

5:41

of the broom closet . They

5:43

wish they could outlay , be different or

5:45

explore other religions or spiritualities

5:48

. I can't speak for that Christian

5:50

or other Christians that constantly want me

5:52

to practice their religion . For that Christian

5:55

or other Christians that constantly want me to practice their religion

5:57

, it's

5:59

a shame , even if it's a thing that Christians gotta go through life with sharing the good

6:01

news of Jesus or God . Maybe both as for me and my

6:03

family , we will venerate the ancestors

6:06

it's

6:12

giving . I'm giving you the encouragement

6:14

to make it through the week . Let's tackle

6:16

eating that elephant together , one bite

6:19

at a time . My boo

6:21

think and I recently had a discussion

6:23

about inclusion . Easter

6:25

was last month and someone

6:27

I don't like put me in a group text to

6:29

say happy Easter , being

6:32

intentional and petty . I told

6:34

him I was offended and wanted

6:36

to tell the person that I don't like that I'm

6:38

not a Christian , therefore I do not

6:40

celebrate Easter . Bull

6:42

thing felt like it did . If it doesn't

6:44

apply , let it fly . I disagree

6:46

, though . Other people , part

6:49

of majority groups , get to see themselves reflected

6:51

. Some Christians were upset that

6:53

President Biden proclaimed Transvisibility

6:56

Day on Easter . A

6:59

quick Google search would allow them to learn

7:01

that this isn't some kind of agenda against

7:04

Sky Daddy , but an annual day

7:06

. That Easter happened to fall on that

7:08

year Well , I mean this year . Both

7:11

thoughts are . The US can't

7:13

possibly be inclusive to everyone

7:15

all the time . My argument

7:17

is why not ? And if not inclusive

7:20

, understand that everything and

7:22

everyone is not about you . So

7:24

I'm giving you the encouragement to take

7:26

a step back , research and examine

7:29

why you feel offended . Are

7:31

you offended because your thoughts and beliefs

7:33

are not the majority , therefore you don't feel

7:35

included ? Or do you feel like

7:37

everyone should think and believe like you do

7:39

? Is your desire for acceptance

7:42

rooted in privilege that everyone

7:44

must cater to ? And , lastly , it's

7:46

your offense due to your religion

7:48

, gender or race always being

7:50

at the forefront ? So you can't help

7:52

but assume and get used to

7:54

the fact that it is . Sit

7:57

and meditate with that . I think that

7:59

was shadow work and speaking

8:01

of shadow work , I did that was shadow work and speaking of shadow work , I did

8:03

that earlier today because

8:05

there are some people that I don't like

8:07

and so I

8:10

was training today and it was pretty

8:12

boring . So I was like , let

8:14

me do some shadow work and I was able to unpack

8:17

why I dislike these people

8:19

. I wrote down all the reasons and I really

8:21

really like it helped me figure out

8:23

, once I put it on paper , why I felt

8:25

the way . Now , of course , it's stupid , in

8:28

my opinion , to be jealous or envious

8:30

or to dislike someone , with

8:32

the reasons that I wrote . But as I unpacked

8:35

it I was able to understand

8:37

a whole lot more . So , like

8:39

some of the things I wrote down Was like

8:41

whole lot more . So , like some of the things I wrote down was

8:44

like there's this person who I feel , like the way that their

8:47

relationship , um , origin

8:49

story was , I didn't like it . It

8:51

just seemed like that person wasn't

8:53

a good fit . But I had to think

8:55

about it and be like well , duh , that

8:57

person that

8:59

woman's husband is unfit in my opinion , but that doesn't

9:01

mean that that person that's husband is unfit in my opinion , but that doesn't

9:04

mean that that person that the husband is

9:06

unfit for her . Then I had

9:08

to think some more about like

9:10

why , um , sometimes

9:12

people I used to work

9:14

with I don't want to befriend

9:17

them or stay with them as friends

9:19

on social media , and why do

9:21

I follow some of the content creators that

9:23

I do and things of that nature and

9:25

I don't know . It really helped me

9:27

out . And I

9:29

think again that other people should

9:32

continue to do the shadow work or go

9:34

to therapy . I'm always an advocate of therapy

9:36

. So , anyway , get your mind

9:38

together . You're welcome , let's

9:47

get it popping . I

9:51

blow out the bubbles

9:53

surrounding pop culture and talk about it . Everyone

9:58

on TikTok is talking about their scariest gospel song , the celebrities that diss regular

10:00

people just speaking conspiracy

10:03

theories about the bridge which rip

10:06

to those families and friends affected

10:08

, how people view

10:10

blackness , such as the mayor of

10:12

baltimore , kp

10:15

diddy , drake , uh

10:18

, jayco and a whole lot more . Damn

10:21

a lot has happened . I'm not gonna comment

10:23

on all the points , so go to tmc

10:25

and any other social

10:27

media account for the scoops . I

10:30

will , however , comment on some things

10:32

I saw on social media to keep

10:34

in call with religion and spirituality

10:36

. I saw a

10:38

post that said teach your children

10:41

about african spirituality so

10:43

they won't think honoring their

10:45

ancestors is demonic . Of

10:48

course , people agreed , disagreed

10:50

and inquired about the status . To

10:53

each his own . You already know which side

10:55

I'm on . A mutual reposted

10:58

that and it surprised me

11:00

that mutual understood and

11:02

the comments were refreshing . Something about

11:04

the words of veneration

11:06

and worship fucks people's head up each

11:09

and every time . Some people

11:11

can acknowledge heavenly birthdays

11:13

or death anniversaries , talk

11:16

about being visited in dreams , pour

11:18

out liquor and go to the cemetery

11:20

. But veneration is too

11:22

much . It's too similar

11:24

to worship . The ancestors ain't deities

11:27

. They are the same as they was

11:29

now and then , which

11:32

I'm pretty sure . I've already said that . Anyway , those type

11:34

of Christians make me do the rock

11:36

eyebrow , but I fucks with the acceptance

11:38

. Then

11:43

a repost from that mutual was talking about trans people , two steps back

11:45

. Lastly , I want to talk

11:47

about scary gospel songs . I

11:49

don't have a scary gospel song , but I do have

11:51

a gospel song . I've always disliked

11:54

my boo thing and I talked about

11:56

it , but I still stand on my annoyance

11:58

. Maybe I got work to do . The

12:01

gospel song is thank you about Walter Hawkins

12:03

. I get that . The song should be

12:06

interpreted as thank you , lord , for not

12:08

letting me be like these people , similar

12:10

, I guess , to my gratitude that I show my ancestors

12:13

. I personally don't find

12:15

joy in others misfortunes . Look , I

12:17

know I've been changed . I

12:20

have so much empathy for people because

12:22

life has kicked my ass too Sympathy

12:25

for not knowing what causes people to do

12:27

what they do . To a certain degree , I

12:30

want folks to be safe . I

12:32

don't intervene , though . And

12:34

also , earlier this week , my sister

12:36

and I we talked a little bit about

12:39

um , about

12:41

who do , and African spirituality

12:44

. So there's this woman I saw

12:46

on facebook . She's a mom , and

12:48

so like , what she talked about

12:50

was the fact that her 11 year old son

12:53

has been wilding the fuck out and

12:55

therefore she cut off like two

12:58

of his locks . Now , again

13:00

, you're , I'm not a Christian , but I

13:02

do dig some of

13:04

the fables

13:06

within the Bible . So

13:09

of course there's that old Samson and Delilah

13:11

, when he had his locks

13:13

cut and that took away his

13:16

power . And then I also

13:18

think about when it comes to spirituality

13:20

, especially within Udu , because

13:22

, again , that's all I know is that from

13:24

time to time , we cover our

13:26

hair for many different reasons . We

13:29

might cover our hair if we're doing a working

13:31

. We might cover our hair if we're

13:33

entering somebody's house to cleanse

13:36

, to do a spiritual cleansing of their house

13:38

. We might cover our hair when

13:40

we go to the cemetery or to funerals

13:42

, like we do all

13:44

these things , um , to

13:46

protect ourselves . And so

13:48

I don't know . I was extremely

13:51

triggered for so many

13:53

reasons , for when I

13:55

read about it . First of all , like other

13:57

people say , I miss us

13:59

using our diaries to talk , because

14:01

to me I felt like this was a stupid thing

14:04

to say and it was brought a lot abusive

14:06

in my opinion , but

14:08

like I felt that

14:10

, no matter how wild that

14:12

the sun has been , I

14:14

felt like , damn , you know , cutting

14:18

his hair to me shouldn't have been done , or

14:20

whatever . I felt like more

14:22

things could happen . Now , according to the mom

14:25

, she said that they've been going to

14:27

therapy and stuff . And okay

14:29

, I'm a believer about the therapy

14:31

, but I still think there's something . Oh now

14:35

, my mentor , pamela Williams , had

14:37

talked about many times before with me

14:39

about seeing or knowing

14:41

people with attachments , and I never

14:44

quite understood it . Now , of course

14:46

, I believed her , of course

14:48

, and stuff , but I could never like

14:50

, correlate or understand , like

14:53

, how do you know that this person has

14:55

an attachment , and it's not just I

14:57

don't know their personality , or something like . And

15:01

oh my gosh , it clicked for me

15:03

, in my opinion . Obviously

15:05

, I

15:14

wondered if the parent and or the child had some kind of attachment attached

15:17

to them , like literally like an attachment to the

15:19

fact that like makes the parent want to be abusive

15:21

, okay , and or to have the child

15:23

to wild out , to

15:27

be abusive , okay , and or to have the child

15:30

to wild out , or . Another thought in my head about it was like , okay , maybe

15:32

it's not that it's just them , it's the parent repeating

15:34

the cycle of all she has

15:36

probably ever known because I saw so

15:38

many people in the comments saying just beat his

15:41

ass and I don't know . It just

15:43

reminded me back to enslavement

15:45

days of the enslaved

15:47

Africans getting whooped and how

15:50

. Now some people will

15:52

whoop their children because you know , of course , the bible

15:54

, spare the rod , blah , blah , blah . But

15:57

like from my readings and

15:59

stuff of enslaved , it was due

16:01

for punishment for them running away like

16:03

the fuck or , you know

16:05

, to keep them in line . And I feel

16:07

like sometimes people will

16:10

do things that was

16:12

done to them because it

16:15

they made them feel like they turned

16:17

out to be better or that that's all they knew

16:19

. I know for me that the woman that

16:21

gave birth to me , in my opinion , was very

16:23

abusive , so therefore what

16:25

I did not want to do was I didn't

16:28

want to have um weapons

16:31

or abuse my child . So up

16:34

until she was like five she did get weapons

16:36

, but I made sure I wasn't mad at

16:38

her when I gave her the weapons . I made sure it was

16:41

like five or ten of them

16:43

. I didn't want it to be too much and I did everything

16:45

that I thought I could to help

16:47

her out , like explained to her why she got

16:49

a whooping and of course people thought

16:51

that I parented like a white person , but again

16:53

, as someone who received those whoopings for

16:56

me , it did more harm than good

16:58

. It made me want to be

17:00

, like um , fearful

17:04

of the woman that gave birth to me and

17:06

stuff . So I didn't want to parent

17:08

in fear and I'm

17:10

pretty sure I've told that story before but

17:12

I changed it and where , instead

17:15

of the weapons , I would , of course , make

17:17

her do physical exercises and then when

17:20

she got a little older , I would take

17:22

away her electronics from her and things of

17:24

that nature , and if

17:26

things go too crazy , I have a talk

17:28

with her therapist so that her therapist

17:31

can reach out to her when it comes

17:33

to their um sessions , so

17:35

that we can get to the bottom . And I really

17:37

personally don't need to know what's going on , I

17:40

just want to provide her with the help

17:42

. So , in my opinion , I

17:45

think that the way I'm raising my

17:47

child might seem quote-unquote white , but

17:49

I feel like it's a very loving and

17:51

healthy environment , more so than anything

17:54

that I had growing up . So it's always

17:56

to each its own , but I just

17:58

don't see the reason in

18:00

wanting to abuse the children . So

18:03

, anyway , that's what's been going on with pop

18:05

culture . Croak

18:11

on the joke . That's where I give

18:13

you my bestest jokes and we laugh

18:15

together , or not ? Today's

18:17

joke I tried to come up with

18:19

a carpentry bun that would work

18:21

. I think I nailed it , but

18:23

nobody saw . Welp

18:30

, guess that's my cue to leave .
