Negro from Negroland off to see the Wiz on this Yellow Brick Road. He owe us Reparations. BTS 📸 @mycainthemaking for @thepowerofblackstories by @theselfpublication Main Photographer & Visionary: @nitashiajohnson #FreeSomeoneElse

3 mental health breaks in the last 5 years 2021, 2022, 2024), hospitalized twice, third time got hit by car, lost my 8 year Director career in 2021 for not taking the vaccine, took a break from rapping to help the youth with Guns for Grants and had a “family member” try to Slime me out for the $125,000 I raised in 2022-2023 so lost it all. Became a new Father in 2023 and doing the best I can to give her a peaceful home and life, lost 10k in a bad Gold deal investing in Africa, owed $30k in back rent after I sued Urby, launched the most successful restorative justice program with a non-profit, then got kicked to the curb for speaking up and had to start all the way over with barely any piece of mind in my home. These last 5 years have taught me a lot and I’m thankful for it all. Long-Suffering. In my own crisis I still had to be what others needed me to be for them. I had no Grace. All I had was God, and that’s all I’ve leaned on to get me through. Today is 442 days of daily journaling and reading Bible scriptures and 336 days of reading one chapter in the Bible from the beginning daily (Currently on 1 Chronicle 3). It’s people who stopped picking up the phone when I “went crazy”, and others who handled me crazy. I’m not perfect but I strive to be a perfect man of God and always lead with love. I can only be thankful I survived and these hardships didn’t ruin me, kill me, or turn me into someone I no longer recognized. I started my own non-profit @thegreencampaigninc and @newnegrorepublic is about to launch our first business location. Secured $500,000 for a Building for youth programming, Youth program in my high school and in our first official year have secured in total the same $125,000 I lost back in 2023 through New contracts. And I wake up everyday and get my daughter ready for school. 💜💜 All I had was God, and that’s who kept me. “I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” — Psalm 27:13 God rescued me. I give all glory to Him. #fountainfresh #freesomeoneelse #talentoverhype #americannegro — #alive

Today’s my 10-Year Anniversary at @urby . I thank God for the Garden I’ve been able to grow with a stable foundation and “one-shot” deals when things got rocky. #FreeSomeoneElse

That Negro Still Buzzing.. #FreeSomeoneElse

I recently learned a painful life lesson. Your Faith is only felt by others when you show them why you believe. You just can’t hope they do. Perspective is Key. Protection keeps it locked. #FreeSomeoneElse
