with Dr. Vinita M. Ricks
Finally a clear way to separate (his)story from the Truth.
History is not static. Debates are raging in city councils and state houses across the country right now because power keepers know the significance of controlling the historical narrative.
Have you ever wondered what they don’t want you to know?
The more complete, complex version of history would include: What happened? Who was responsible? What was the impact?
These are powerful questions that can keep the masses in the dark, or set them on a path towards the light.
“Until the lion tells his truths, the story will always glorify the hunter.”
AFRICAN PROVERB
Melanated people are particularly susceptible to history’s lies due to being forcefully and continually moved from our home lands for nearly 450 years. Endured hundreds of years of whitewashed history as those in power continue to intentionally distort the events of the past and their ongoing legacy.
To support the false narrative, power keepers also distort the vocabulary: Chattel slavery reduced to professional development. Domestic terrorism confused with street corner thugs. Genocide reduced to natural selection or population control.
What we know about the culture, language, science, spirituality, and healing arts, of the peoples that lived across Africa and the Americas is deeply stained by colonization, globalization, disconnection and divisors.
You've been lied to.
And a part of you knows it.
Our resilience has been celebrated as the reason we’ve survived the horrors of the past. Yet that is a limited name or version for our spiritual gift and we know it.
So many are waking up to the fact that those in power want things to stay the way they are. They describe us as uneducated, unaware, and asleep. Like many things, they bastardized the original idea of Woke to distract and confuse us.
But you are starting to see the truth. You are recognizing the lies of their Matrix.
Your natural resilience is rooted in your innate knowing of the lies they have told you.
The extractive global economy, the destructive military-industrial complex, the circus of a political system, and fear-based religions, each play their role in attempting to convince you of their false stories.
In order to reclaim our birthright to a life of abundance and peace, we must understand the stains clouding our sight.
