#askthePhoenix: to Shatter Slavitude

From the pen ✍

(Excerpt from Respite Now!, essay) Today, we appeal to the imaging of all of us together without taking thorough stock of strides and roads all have sojourned in making it to this point. In other words—we're siloing more—while appearing to be with one another. Even simpler, we've found a phenomenal way of being alone, together. All us are in a slowly crashing car—and we all know it. Yet, we're too confused to understand what to do about it. Solvency centered philosophies have to sustain us from here. No more do we have the privilege of loathing one another. No! We are now plagued with the burden of exploring real reasons to love one another… if we truly wish to sustain. Let's have the real life discussions—at the table—while celebrating one another's presence, in the moment. Grab your fave writing utensil and journal. This episode is chocked full of thought provoking content. Feel free to enjoy, and ask questions.

This workout was inspired by Oprah and Harry's new series, "The Me You Can't See." The title, "Pain That Doesn't Transform Gets Transmitted," sorta pushed us into assessing just how this socially transmitted disease (pain) might be effecting us. An initial thought that comes to mind is the concept of an individual being special. And-because one is often referred to as special, one’ll often run into another that feels that they have a greater design for the use of the one's specialty. However, what’s true is because one is special, one also has the responsibility of being who and what one wants (based on one's own design). Perplexing?

Join us as we interview a great and honorable pillar of our Buffalo community, my cousin (shameless plug), Tyree Parker!

**Explicit Language** Imagine yourself a fly on the wall, and able to listen in on an ADOS (American Descendant of Slavery) Black family. My family. Again, listen objectively... this is a genuine conversation, that just so happens to be an authentic American cultural narrative.

Commitment versus being loyal...

Conjure up ideas on a whim. Revisit the past. Create the future. Discover your distinction. Explore your means of coping within your unique experience. "Imagination breeds creativity. Creativity produces options. In those options we find freedom." ––Najja . Goose says that imagination is is reality. If he's right, then we have the freedom to choose. Imagine the possibilities!

What is Design Thinking?

The above equation is the brain child of Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of Creativity and Change Leadership, Ruth Noller. Though symbolic, this equation serves as a compass-of sorts. It is a cursor for the attitude one practices, regularly. I believe attitude either grants or denies us -our freedom(s). Keeping positive can be difficult. Use this equation to work it out. Cheers!

Often we see and hear ourselves from the outside in. It’s rare that we look at ourselves from the inside out. The surest way to see your true self is through your values. Knowing your values sets a benchmark for your conduct/behavior. A standard. Living as such sets a philosophy by which you move. Confused?
