🌱 Community Reads: Our Roots — Reflections, Rituals & Real Glow
The air feels heavy with noise right now. Every headline, every whisper online, is designed to pull us toward outrage, pity, or confusion. It’s not an accident. Energy harvesters know that if they can bend your focus, they can bend your spirit.
But hear me clearly: your energy is sacred. It was not given to you to be wasted on mourning those who denied us humanity, nor on extending sympathy where mercy was never shown. Our grief belongs to our people, our joys belong to our people, our destiny belongs to our people.
For Foundational Black Americans, the call is clear: guard your heart, protect your peace, and stay aligned with truth. Do not let this world bait you into grief for systems that never grieved for us. Do not be lulled into thinking peace will come from aligning with those who never carried us in love.
Instead, return to center. Light your candle. Walk your land. Sing your song. Write your truth. These small, intentional acts are not just habits — they are survival codes, passed down and still alive.
Because when the storms of history try to wash us out, the ancestors remind us: we are the roots that dig deeper when the winds rage harder.
🌿 Protecting Your Spirit in Turbulent Times
-
Mentally: Choose carefully what you feed your mind. Limit the endless doom scroll. Instead, study wisdom, listen to voices that sharpen your clarity, and learn the history that empowers you. Knowledge is not just power; it’s armor.
-
Spiritually: Stay prayed up, however prayer looks for you. Call on God by name, call on the ancestors with reverence, call on the Majara spirit that guards FBA bloodlines. The unseen realm has always been our first defense and our final victory.
-
Physically: Care for your body as though it were your inheritance — because it is. Hydrate. Move. Rest. Eat foods that keep you light and strong. A sharp spirit can be dulled by a neglected vessel, so protect both.
The Majara spirit — the unseen force of divine protection — has always shielded our people, even when chains clinked and whips cracked. That same spirit avenges and uplifts, ensuring truth, justice, and balance will always find their way. We are not alone. We never have been.
🔥 Walking in Destiny
Remember, every step forward is more than survival. It is prophecy fulfilled. Each time you create, build, love, or heal, you are writing new pages in the story of resilience.
To fulfill our destiny, we must think beyond reaction and lean into creation. Do not spend your life chasing after what racists think of you — their imaginations are too small to hold your greatness. Instead, pour your energy into shaping what belongs to you and what will outlive you.
Your peace, your land, your family, your art, your prayers — these are the true monuments of justice. And with each act of building, you are not only protecting your energy, you are multiplying it.
​
🌌 Final Word
Hold fast. Protect your light. Keep walking toward the morning — because even the longest night bows before the dawn.
Let your heart rest in the knowledge that truth does not need speed to win, only endurance. And our people, from the cotton fields to the cities, from the drumbeats to the frontlines, have always had endurance.
The Majara spirit walks with us. The ancestors rise with us. And the dawn is already breaking.
