To free ourselves from this destructive behavior, it’s essential to practice self-reflection and humility. Recognizing our own faults and the hidden harm we can cause, hopefully, allows us to approach conflicts with a more open and compassionate mindset.

In essence, it’s a reminder that no one is faultless and acknowledging our own imperfections is a powerful step towards becoming a more compassionate and mindful human being.

In this constant struggle to remain relevant, free Black and Proud, we must without a doubt, as a good friend once said, “hang together. If we don’t hang together, they will hang us separately.”
Where are our vision leaders; where is our vision? For we all know that the Word says, “without vision the people perish.” Stop, take a deep breath, regroup before it’s too late. That old song says “stop look listen to your heart; hear what it’s saying.”
