Episode 68 This Life We Live

Its' been a while since the last episode.   

A few of the topics:  

- Finding myself being righteous in a cigar shop 

- LGBTQ+  

- Being psychologically tortured for being different 

- Willie Lynch Document  

- Bruces Beach  

- Coops   

What I’m about to say does not get in the way of putting my head down and building and creating. Hopefully, this just allows my supporters and followers more permission to openly continue to rock with me from all walks of life, even the secret celebs you know who you are. 

And if I’m not for you, you are absolutely free to keep it moving.   2020, was month after month of psychological torture, mainly who I am as I am was painfully not excepted.  It’s a dark tragic comedy to be stuck being you and you are being encouraged to be your authentic self.   

I am Neurodivergent...autistically gifted I will not see it as a curse like I once did growing up. Punishing myself for being different.  I am not in need of being fixed or broken in like an untrained dog. My mother's son. Fully aware of right and wrong. Have never had a drug problem nor committed a crime.   

I do know shame and humiliation as someone who was a down-low black dude, publicly outed for my bisexual past, I’ll never be the same after that.   Letting go of resentment. I will still speak on LGBTQ+ matters, not much because it’s not my passion. Exploring Mental health as a black male is my passion. I will still defend the rights of LGBTQ+ in the circles I find myself in. 

Mainly because I have no filter.   One truth that has been learned through all this. When you help bring powerful rich spoiled white males down, you don’t just walk away from that and think you're going back to living a normal life.   

On a positive note: Discussing Coops and how they can help black and underserved communities. 

Mandela Grocery’s Stores' vision responds to Dr. King’s call for creative job expansion: Jobs for the people in the neighborhood. Jobs that build income, skills, and community amenities. Jobs that function for our neighbors. Cooperative jobs can be jobs in various industries that are complementary and essential such as groundskeeping, design and building, food production, and food distribution.
