Happy Birthday Mr. Lupe Fiasco
Born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco in Chicago, Illinois, Fiasco broke onto the hip-hop scene in 2006 with his debut album, Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor. The lead singles off the debut were “Kick, Push” and “Daydreamin” featuring R&B singer Jill Scott, which won the Grammy for Best Urban/Alternative Song in 2008.
The most recent album Tetsuo & Youth released in January 2015 is one not to sleep on. This album and The Cool released in 2007 are at the top of my list as favs!
In addition to making his own music, Lupe has his own record label, 1st and 15th Entertainment and also works to help people in his hometown.
Happy Born Day Lupe!!!!!
Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome – Dr Joy de Gruy Leary
The Sojourner Truth show (Margaret Prescod) on http://www.kpfk.org covered Dr. Joy de Gruy Leary and this discussion which is a fundamental part of our history, present and future. Not only black people, but whites have been affected and infected as Dr. de Gruy states with slavery in the United States.
This discussion touches deeply the direct and indirect trauma African chattel slavery has had on our generations. How do we, how can we ‘completely’ be made free of the remnants of post-traumatic slavery syndrome?
First key is Self Love – Black people must love themselves, ourselves before anyone else could open their hearts & minds to our sole being.
Second key is Education – The clouded history taught in American classrooms are full of lies with so many gaps in the people that made this country.
Third key is Acknowledgement – To no longer mask the truth about the lives which were forced upon these lands along with the lives taken. The lives which set the soil, the lives which built the railroads, the lives which fed the said ‘settlers’ who are truly terrorists children, the lives which kept homes clean, the lives forgotten.
Those are a few things if were practiced could help in bringing a conscious to America – to help in removing the facade this country has been existing under for centuries.
Dear Black Man
My heart bleeds for you.
