Join us for a very special interview with our friend, our partner author and music producer Sean "XLG" Mitchell. Sean is back with an amazing book titled, "The African American Spiritual Practice of Seven Keys To KA-MAAT."   This book centers around:  The African American spiritual practice of Seven is the number that symbolizes Ka-Maat. The number seven has a spiritual significance as the human body has seven orifices and seven layers of skin. There are also seven days in a week, seven notes on a musical scale, seven seas and continents. As a spiritual practice, Seven represents the number of characters in Ka-Maat, six letters with a hyphen that adjoins and unifies its meaning. Equally, there are seven letters in African. Therefore, we use Seven and Ka-Maat interchangeably as both refers to the African American spiritual practice. The word Ka, pronounced Kah, is an ancient Egyptian word that means the vital energy which both sustains and creates life. The word Maat, also of Egyptian origin, means truth, justice and rightness. Together, Ka-Maat means energy in harmony with truth and righteousness. As a spiritual practice, it is defined as a lifestyle and a commitment to serving the Creator, along with uplifting ourselves, our family and community through on-going acts of positive thoughts and deeds. The practice of Ka-Maat begins with understanding the correlation of the mind, body and soul. The three components of a being are intended to work in harmony as the engine, tires and a driver successfully operates a vehicle. If one component fails to work it renders all three useless. Therefore, the holistic wellbeing of a person is stressed upon and imperative in the practice of Ka-Maat.

Join us for a very special episode on domestic violence, the black lives movement, and politics in our black communities.   This last week has been out right horrible and tragic. We've seen two tragic deaths of two humans being killed by police officers.  Both were black men who had run-ins with police prior. Both men were fathers, and both men were going about their business as usual when their lives ended.  Two situations but very different in every way.  The sad part is that these situations have happened back to back before and there was no real change.  We now have the same thing, but will there be any real change with the gun laws, or any real change in how police depts approach training. All we can do is hope.   As these tragic situations have happened a group calling themselves "Black Lives Matter" have come-up as they say.  Many say this group is protesting peacefully, but then many say they are protesting violently.  With some attributing to them screaming obscenities and shouting "kill those pigs (refering to police officers). The most alarming bit to this group are the messages between this guy and girl who say are the faces of "black lives matter." Those messages display a plan called the "summer of chaos." That plan is a plan to disrupt communities as well as the democratic and republican conventions that will be happening this month. Those plans are plans to cause chaos any and every where necessary. Tragic I know. One would think this group would want to help their fellow black folks instead creating trouble, more arrest, and possibly more killings. We will see.   Tune in as we serious matters.
