This was one I dedicated to my late father. On the day that I recorded this would've been his birthday and though he's no longer here on the planet as the man who birthed me, he is always around and with me in spirit. I mean, I am of his bloodline! 🙏🙏🙏 One thing I have always prided my father on was how much of an educator he was. He did spend 20 years in the US Air Force which lead him to being a JRROTC instructor at the high school I graduated from. Though I didn't understand or credit it much then, it was something to see his life the way it was and also how he was able to raise a man like myself and keep his family together... I'm truly a nepo baby of someone who had some strong spiritual power within. My father was truly a man of God and raised our household like one. Regardless of your own or your family's spiritual or religious beliefs, my father and I may not have always seen similarly when it came to our religious and spiritual matters, but we were able to openly talk of them even though we had different practices. ✝️✨💫☯️ Though I don't currently have children of my own, to follow in his footsteps by becoming an educator of sorts the same way that he was in his life time is a personal goal of mine. Even though I may not be able to necessarily educate children the way that he did (at least not yet), I do know that knowledge isn't something that should be kept within if you can and have the capabilities to share it in environments that went towards the betterment of others. My father did always teach me that knowledge is power, but as I learned later on in life, power is something that shouldn't necessarily be held carelessly or hoarded to apathy. In some sense, the making of this video is with that context in mind as I pay homage to the other many lessons he taught me not just as a high school teacher, but also as my dad and father. This particular also talks about the power of discernment, in which my father did teach me rather well about what that was (even though I didn't always listen, but you know children... 😅😅😅)
