Today centers contact around…Peace (In a world full of chaos and turmoil, how do you escape? What brings you peace and puts your mind at ease even for just a brief moment?) A small trace. A mark left without explanation. What you offer can be brief. A line. An image. An acknowledgment. Leave it where attention happened to land.

Today centers contact around… Overcoming (What are things that you have overcome that have been a pivotal turning point in your growth as a person) A small trace. A mark left without explanation. What you offer can be brief. A line. An image. An acknowledgment. Leave it where attention happened to land. Here's My Offering: I've overcome the fact that its okay to follow my own path instead walking in the footsteps of others. It's granted me freedom and the power to be my own person

This is a piece I wrote awhile ago. But since it's Juneteenth figure it's a good time to post. 400 years, 400 years, 400 years! How dare you tell me to forget! I can still hear the screams of slaves The crack of the whip on Kunta back Forcing him to change his name This ball and chain had been around my peoples ankles for far to long! And you want me to let it go, quit crying while you still lying Not admitting your wrongs Hell na, we still fighting Executive order after executive order To erase Amerikkkas dark history of slavery Removal of DEI legislation You killed Malcolm and Martin Used them as martyrs We should've listened to Marcus Garvey And escaped this God forsaken place back to Africa Give me my damn reparations So I can bounce out this place And I'm sick and tired of being told to forgive and forget And pray to make it go away Pray for my oppressors How, when they continue to be aggresive You realize the original intent of the police was to catch runway slaves Nothing changed They still doing the same Just traded the plantation for prison Insisting on giving us legnthy sentences When the judge slams that gavel He just unraveled our civil rights Our time is life Cheap labor for major corporations Nothing but profit for them As my people still condemned Steadily hemmed up by this cruel unjust system Lady liberty a bitch She's nothing but a Karen Staring at me with hate in her eyes Using these white old guys To keep us in this ball and chain

As we approach our first year anniversary, I think it’s a good idea to take a look at what we have accomplished together. There’s so much more in store, but it’s important to appreciate how far we have all come in this journey! Angel Kim and I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for helping us shape this into the experience it has grown into. We couldn’t have done it without you. And as we move toward the next chapter, we hope that you all will continue to support each other as you always have. Our goal is not to simply survive, but to thrive. And it is our mission to provide resources and opportunities that will make that possible. Stay Zen!
