Free Thought Revolution

Friends, Family, and Revolutionaries,Listen up to found out where the heck we have been for the last year and a half, what blessings have been born out of hardship, and what to expect for the new season!Insta: @freethoughtrevolutionEmail: freethoughtrev@gmail.comWebsite: freethoughtrevolution.comSupport the Show.

Folks, friends, fam, revolutionaries, and the unitiated,We have been taking the time to make sure conversations that needed to be had were had over the past two years. Now, it is time to take a break to pursue our passions. We are working on opening a community and cultural center in Oceanside, California while teaching free art and music classes for underprivileged youth. We hope you take this time to enjoy old episodes and tell your friends and family about the podcast. What do you know, maybe we will be back with a fresh, new host when we return?Support the show

Folks, Fam, Revolutionaries, and Initiates,For those of us lucky enough to be born into generational wealth, we may never understand the struggle to carve out a small piece for ourselves and our future ancestors. When our resources only allow us to focus on getting by in the now, we have to push ourselves to become more. From spiritual growth, to overcoming fears, parenting, self-parenting, to entrepreneurship; Kiana Sanchez discusses her experiences and wisdom from what we would call an “old soul.' She used what little she had, coffee beans, to build a fledgling mobile business - Cultura Coffee. Kiana's determination and imagination took something as simple as a seed of a stone fruit and saw it as a bridge to culture, or Cultura. Cultura Coffee makes traditional Mexican drinks as a bridge to cultura for local Mexicanos who live in a country partitioned from their own, on land that was once theirs, and so close, but so detached from their culture. Sit down, grab a taza, and disfruta a taste of cultura.Thank you Kiana @_culturacoffee_ for sharing your wisdom from the heart and spirit. Big thanks to Strings @xloomus for this season's HumanizeUs intro song. We wish we could play the whole thing, but it's hellllllla long.  Thank you to you Revolutionaries for listening. It's been a long season of HumanizeUs episodes, and this is the final one. At the surface, they may not be as intriguing as a hot topic issue, but when we take time to invest in learning about other people, we hope that we all learn fom each others' wisdom and mistakes. Collectively, we are stronger. #HumanizeUs Support the show

Folks Friends Fam Revolutionaries and uninitiated;It is difficult for folks to sit down and meet or continue to hold relationships with the strangers in our lives. We trespass among so many different individuals in the regular patterns and routines of our lives, it is a shame we have lost the time to hold conversation, much less bonds of humanity. No shame to our grind, but the necessity of capital means the measures of personal investment wither.We needed to sit down, slow down, and hold space with @stevencorral760. We have held shared ground amongst the truth holders on Artist Alley. Broken bread, whiskey, and wine backyard boogies (thanks again @enmipalma). Then continued to become so inundated with the purposeful mission of community action; we lost the community. It starts with a conversation and this one was well worth making the time.Learning how to find yourself, and making steps to reinvent or re-invest in yourself. Finding the journey of life through the wisdom of elders, and the purpose of passion. Shaking the less than pretty parts of yourself, and getting to the simplicity of a wok, four wheels, a bit of luck, and a wildly diverse collection of memories will always ensue.Thank you @stevencorral760 for making sure we didn't forget where this all started and holding us accountable to have those conversations. @Xloomus every time the strings hit us and make us almost weep. @Asett_Auco thanks you for ensuring the voices can be shared with the Humanity we all deserve.  Folks Friends Fam Revolutionaries and uninitiated you make this a community, without you we're just voices yelling off a brick wall- or sounding board.

 Folks Friends, Family, Revolutionaries & initiates,It is hard enough finding yourself in this world and understanding where you fit in it, while pretending to make enough to eat. Whether we are intimate friends in real life, or we happen to follow each other on social media platforms, the difference in the integrity of our humanity is only a conversation away.Stripping away the badges and looking at the simplest aspect of life: a home, a city that represents and looks like you; welcomes you are things most take for granted. To some like (@MarisaDelucastudio) it is the heartbeat to life. Finding ways to capture a dying city, only to feel the hear the call of an entire community outside of oneself. Struck so personally and viscerally by the images shared across the television screens, it was impossible to keep a talented artistic humanitarian down.Unafraid to stand toe-to-toe with the government bullies, but wise enough to use her intellect and fine art motor skills. Marisa has created an organization @artistsinsolidarityofficial that helps bridge pathways to humanity. Specifically to some of the Native Mexican sols whose ancestors were the original caretakers of this land. A bit of color here, community of artists there; and oh the Humanity one can paint.From the fringes of social media, chance meetings at pop-up events, and direct voluntolding from trusted friends; listen as we find more ways to Humanize a wildly diverse community of individuals. Through conversation, art, and a bit of online magical auction, enjoy another degree of Humanity.Thank you @marisa for dropping knowledge and being a legit co-conspirator. Bite em in the knee caps! @Asett_auco for folks thinking we capture these voices so well, nah it's the Visionary Master of Arts. @Xloomus for the looong ass #HumanizeUs intro.Always you Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, & Initiates, there's no love, conversation, or wildly diverse communication without you.Keep sharing the voices of the community, make em rain down from the mountaintop; because Thoughts are Free, Revolution takes Action; Be Revolutionary.Support the show

Dear Friends, Fam, and Revolutionaries,Everyone loves the movies, but how many of us take the time to know it as an art form? We had the privilege of speaking with Phoenix Rose @ivoxus of Little Green Bug Animation Studios. From working in prop fabrication to creating their own stop motion shorts, they have the perspective from the other side of the screen. A self-proclaimed "film nerd," their passion for art and movies shines through their being. Catch a glimpse of what heart and soul the people in the industry put into their craft that allows for your Netflix and Chill and 12 season binges.  Thank you Phoenix, your movie recommendations check out and are way more passionate than Siskel and Ebert (dating ourselves there?)  @Xloomus the Humanize Us song is 5 songs in 1, you are incredible.Support the show

Folks Friends Fam Revolutionaries and initiates,It is that independence day so many Americans mark their calendars for. Fireworks, BBQs, parties, friends, families, and soul. Whether it is finding pieces of culture that reconnect and reappropriate your history, or if it is simply finding a sol you jive with and making a connection; the real point of these weeks of freedom, these celebratory days of independence is the people, and their walk in life.We had the privilege to run into Esteban of @PuestoXicano at the @soulswap meet. We exchanged glances, awkward fumbling of appreciation, and a whole bunch of love and soul. So much so that we had to sit down and hold a much deeper conversation in order to learn where the antiquities, jewelry and flavor come from. A moment of conversation blessed to bloom into a connection that will last beyond time, as long as we nurture it; the same way we nurture our own humanity.Please take a moment to listen to two sols walking the journey of life, and what it means to find the simple beauty of conversation between two wandering sols. Whether it is diving into a world of self discovery, or exploring the bounds of self-confidence and the voice we hold within. All of it can be done with the benefit of a sol that sees you and love you for the beautiful individual you exist as. Enjoy and take the time to share some humanity. Thank you so much Esteban for taking the time out of your time to share with me intimate pieces of your life, and feel safe being a model for others to follow. @Asett_auco thanks for pushing this out, while working so diligently on Creative Sols Ark: Community Cultural Center. If the community reaped the benefit of your work, we would already have the heart of the community lifted. @Xloomus folk love the song(s), like three-in-one; but yeah short intro- short intro. Friends, Fam, Revolutionaries, and Initiates thank you for taking the time to listen, to share, and to be a part of the community.Thoughts are free, Revolution takes action; Be Revolutionary… a community is watching.Support the show

Folks Fam, Friends, Revolutionaries, and initiates,Culture is handed down to us in a number of fashions through language, family morals & norms, education, and food are the biggest ones we get right in the comfort of our own homes. From the loving and caring family that raises us, to be happy, great and successful in life. Most of us find in this journey there is an abrupt turn from the path that was set out for us. The turbulence it can cause, drifting away from the normative patterns that were laid as foundations for us, and the distance it creates. The perfect symbiosis of family, culture, dreams, and your soul is a journey on its own.Stuck in a lot pining for more than the regular despotic gnum gnum, reigned in by a sol so ferociously at work; you would fear eating the decadently simple meals prepped by this father, husband, son, and bedazzler of taste buds. Justin shares his passion for festive and creative palatable food with the world one grueling slaptastic order at times. Unmoved by the monotonous and daily doldrum of the "real world of jobs" they gave it up to find their spark bringing a flare and a sizzle to everyone around them.Take notes - heart - and courage from the story of another simple sol who's footsteps through on around and over life's sidewalks have just begun. Take your ticket, and order up a bit of @urbnmarketfusion.Thank you Justin it was more than a blessing to sit with you and share. Folk think it's time we had another delicious burger, can you make a mini one for the kids so we don't have to share? @Asett_Auco next time we won't eat yours, and thanks for letting us in the house and recording the episode. It's cold outside. @Xloomus the strings of Humanity come alive in your tunes. Don't. Stop. Pickin.Always in our motives and actions, thank you sincerely revolutionaries, Friends, Fam, and initiates thank you for listening to the voices of humanity and sharing in their vulnerability. It is with open consciousness we build better societies and communities.  It is with that in mind we hope to share in and with your stories as well. Please take the time to see the upcoming conversations and reach out if your voice should help represent artistic communions of Humanity.

Folks Family, Friends, Revolutionaries, and initiates,It is a difficult thing to be a lost sol wandering the mortal plane in need of a spiritual filling. Finding balance between humility of religious zealotry and the basic tenets of human civility is a lifelong quest, we beseech many different guides to spiritual harmony. Intermingling cognizant self motivation, divine spiritual following, and the intrinsic dynamic vibration, for self fulfillment is often considered a mystical experience. We learned to find it in a place one would least expect.While going through one of the more difficult times in our life and having little avenues of self-discovery, we were introduced to Yusef. Sufi Muslim, Father, Husband, Professor teaching  young minds. But to us; the first real connection to a spiritual faith. In times of need or just sharing love, we routinely find our strength of heart and mind from heartfelt conversations here. Whether it is to become a better father, work on showing the devotion of a supportive husband, & or learning how to shepherd and enrich communities; We have found a guide, mentor, brother in spirit; and more. If you feel the love take from it. If you hear the heart, hold on to it. If you need someone; these words are for you- too!The words of a father and the father shared one a day of Fatherly Recognition- bless.Thank you Yusef for being the strength behind the growing spirit we have found; All praise be to god. Asset for continuing to ensure the mics, minds, and movements of our evolution into a wildly diverse community are shared from soapbox over mountaintop.It takes a Mother to bless us poor males with children, to be a father; thank you for the most blessed gift we could ever receive from you- aside your heart.@Xloomus yes the #HumanizeUs jam is the dig. Where's the cream filling (words)? Thank you Family, Friends, Revolutionaries, and initiates as we continue to grow our community. It is with you in mind that we ensure it is: uplifting, educational, empathetic, and above all Human. It is only with your ears, hearts, and minds we will be able to find a means to Humanize Us all. Blessed note one thing.Thoughts are Free, Revolution Takes Action;' Be Revolutionary.Support the show

Folks Friends, Fam, Revolutionaries, and ya initiates,Humanities tells us we don't get second chances. That the disposition, station, places we can venture in only afford us; one opportunity in life. So often we feel anxious we may miss an opportunity, or that something may have slid through our fingers. We struggle to find how we lose the connections we value. After some time we got to sit back down Sonny long long after we were supposed to sit down and hold a conversation.Getting beyond the labels that keep us separate we found means to discuss generational trauma, roots so deep your ancestors named the land, finding ways to keep community first and as a root to who we are, and so many more topics in life. We ask you to join us, in getting a second chance to make that human connection with a sol so bright in magnificence; we get reminded of it everyday when waking to its rays. What does it mean to be a part of the community in so many ways and feel like you are never seen. What does it mean to be community or genuine, or? Not everything in California glitters like gold, but the people do.Thank you to @Xloomas for the emotional strings Humanize all the voices within the community. @sunnystreetoutreachmvm it's about time we got to sit down and discuss life Geminis do best, dazzling before we come out to Pride. @Asett_auco for calling it and checking us, we will do better. Always you fam friends revolutionaries and newbies, thank you we are single sols without the company and energy you bring.

Folks Family Friends, Revolutionaries & you initiates;During the summer, when students and teachers have freedom from instruction, they enjoy the festive freedoms we all routinely celebrate. Juneteenth exemplifies the dream that is American in the ability for all of us to have and can exuberantly fulfill; the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The shared emancipation from chattel slavery for the country and the people subjegated by it.This breath of fresh air excites the fingers of freedom before we celebrate a united independence. Large parties, sporting events, fireworks, races, eating competitions, and... and... and... We throw such huge extravagant events, we people that live under the bells of liberty. We cannot be a united free nation without celebrating the wildly diverse sols that make up our jambalaya soup; with cornbread on the side. For Independence Walk we are going to spend time having real Human conversations, to exploit and engage in our love of community.How do we break beyond the markers, labels, and boxes meant to restrict our humanity; from shining? What is Humanity? What is culture? What does it mean to belong? What are the deeper parts of our person and how did we get here? Are we really as interconnected as the fabled 6 degrees of separation, or is there more?It starts with a conversation:Feel free to eavesdrop on our conversation with Ryan & Estrelle. Creators of the family/community based SOCCERSAINTS, two deeply enthralled partners in life's & the journey. Two sols we were blessed to share space and continue to learn and gain insight in life from. https://www.soccersaints.org/ The rest, you'll just have to listen...Thank you to Couch Potato and Estrelle for the very intimate and human experience, highlighting how truly close all our life stories are. Asett for carving the conversation and making it shine almost like these saints. you family, friends, revolutionaries, and initiates; we are an empty community without the ears,  and mind of a collective heart to build such a strong revolution of love. Continue to share to help the beauty of Humanity grow.Be revolutionary, thoughts are free; Revolution takes action!HUMANIZE US!Support the show

Folks Friends, Fam, Revolutionaries, and yes, you initiates,We emphasize it starts with a conversation, so does sex; an understanding competent affirmative in the positive, consenting yes. Today we are having an in depth conversation about sex. Do you consent to the following, and more in our human - uplifting - empathetic conversation?Sex is a topic we are all familiar with in at least one aspect, it took sex to bring us to fruition. Beyond that we are given too much shame, misinformation, stigma, double standards, expectations of masculinity & femininity, but mostly we are completely failed educationally. With your consent we would like to introduce to you Masters of Sexology M.Ed. Liz Mallers.For most of our lives we exist in a permanent chase of sexual healthy relations, with ourselves and our partner(s). We seek ecstasy without the shameful walk, and now we have direct access to we will emerge with a new hold and understanding of well Sex.Intimacy, pleasure, and sex what we understand as the pinnacles of sexual gratification; are also the foundations to understanding your sexual journey. Exploring the benefits and tantalizing spaces of self soothing as a means to self understanding, body positivity, and growth with consenting parties. Ways to manifest healthy sexual behaviuors; inclusive of all lurid, perverted, and ethical pornographic. Dispelling double standards, wading in the realm of fluid sexual realities, and toys for everyone.A soothing come down we posit the positives of conscious canoodling and post-climactic cuddling. We hope to leave you with the beginnings of a fulfilling, fruitful, and festive, fun time.*We want to leave you with this: a conversation in -and- out of the bedroom is essential to the healthy development of our person. In light of all of the recent failures to hold conversations. We would like to highlight the LGBTQI+ community and their beautiful loving sols; thank you for your spirit, your courage, your fight- for you!P.S. This is not said enough: Love - Gay - Love - Trans - Love -  Intersex - Love - Non-binary - Love - Lesbian - Love - Queer - Love!LoveThank you to M.Ed Liz Mallers @lizthesexpert for the understanding, shameless, uplifting, talk about mastering our bodies and finding healthy measures to sexually relealse it. @Asett_Auco for the vulnerable exit and much needed Firile Chat, and the art piece to give vision to the conversation. Thank you @Prmtvsls for the musical intro intro. Mostly, thank you Fam, Friends, Revolutionaries, and initiates for sharing in our growing community. Please take the time to let us know how we are doing, and share to help us grow. We are but small seeds in a wildly diverse garden of Humanity; let's bloom and blossom into a fauna of family together.

Welcome Folks, Fam, Revs, & new initiates,Comics are widely heralded as a wonderful art form; for kids! Yet, so many of us grown individuals find them to be more than just amusing. They are a history lesson, future promise if change is not made, multitudinous story that travels across the many different universes; and courses like blood in our veins pulsing our very being. They are box paneled tidbits of life with a new vision once a month, or maybe you enjoy taking them in the most novel sense; graphic at heart.Cool Stuff Man managed to find a break from the superheroe preparatory comic training school to teach us posers, the ins and outs of Comic book lore. We discuss the societal messages portrayed in the pages of these books, and their ability to evoke thought by dramatizing real life. The engrossing nature of life depicting art while embarking on the ultimate question: "What if?"  Once a fearful existence, now we are embraced - modeled - emulated - and cos-played; we are free to show our true selves and the beauty that is the diversity of Comickazes. Take caution as you embark as this landing will be quite the impact, as we embark upon the ideas behind the ink.Thank you to  Cool Stuff Man @cool_stuffman it was a pleasure to see and speak to you unmasked. Promise your secret identity is safe with Free Thought Revolution- Interactive Artistic Podcast.

Freethought Friends - Family, and sols new to the community, it is a privilege to share these messages of humanity with you; from the voices of the people. Mixed Martial Arts is not just an art form, nor a means to fight and/or hurt individuals. It is a pathway to a higher form of self, respect, discipline, and ironically it hurts; a lot! Why people of all walks of life find themselves drawn to martial arts and the strength of its teachings. The question is what are those teachings, and how do they hold real life implications?We were able to sit and talk with Elj @1one_n_only1likeme Portee, just before his bout on May 1st. Discussing the trivial and not so trivial act of fighting for one's life. Everyone knows what it means to be a fighter, but what does it mean to fight for your life. To use the principles we are taught in the cage, and on the mats to better ourselves outside the sporting venue and watchful eyes of the public. What does it mean to figure out “How to kick a bag”? How in the hell does it make you a better individual?From walking in the front door on your first day, being greeted by a monster of a coach, coming home and holding your loved ones after a hard day, to fighting on the big stage. The gifts taught to fighters are more than a championship belt, flocking fans, and even as a UFC Champion still dreaming of earning an equitable living. We carry them when we embrace a teammate before, during, and after a chin to the dome. There is more to Mixed Martial Arts, the practitioners of the arts, and their lives than mere entertainment. Take the time to hear the heart, blood, sweat, and tears behind the Fighting Life, Heartbeat at a time.Thank you to @1one_n_only1likeme for taking the time to sit and discuss with us how to be genuine Mixed Martial Artists. We will not  be taking you up on that punching bag session. Jasmine not very often is the partner and main supporter heard. Thank you immensely for sharing the other side of this story. @Prmtvsls for the music; pick up the pace folk.Thank you to the listeners helping us spread humanity out there.

Freethought Friends - Family, and sols new to the community, it is a privilege to share these messages of humanity with you; from the voices of the people. Privilege is not an accord or a topic of discussion that floats through mainstream society. Instead it is a label, moniker, and divisive acronym that dispels the notion of humanity amongst civilized sols. The largest barrier is the belief having privilege is akin to a curse or scarlet letter, however far from reality it is.The truth of privilege lives in the systems we've created that place value upon individuals based on a birthright. The different levels of privilege span beyond just the mere complexion one uses to shade their soul. We were blessed with the privilege to discuss these blatant and nuanced imbalances.We were able to briefly get Professor Amber Colbert to break away from teaching the next generation of socially conscious students at Palomar College, in order to give us a clear picture on the social constructs within society that impoverish so many individuals with a lack of access, opportunity, and/or resources to access life's essentials i.e. nutritious food, healthy water, safe home, access to education - mental & physical health. For many individuals the simplest form is- to simply exist!Join us as we carve up the systems of inequity, get real raw about the privilege of a “Black Ass” Oscars slap, the derision behind “privilege” as an idea, and the essence of humanity in spite of a lack of it.Thanks for taking the time to grow your and our communities by listening to the hearts of our guests. Share, rate, review you know, all the digs they say we should be asking for. In truth, we only grow if you nurture the community. Thoughts are Free, Revolution Rakes Action; Be Revolutionary.Thank you to prmtv sls @prmtvsls for the slow long as intro, yeah we cut that short; Bless.

Freethought Friends - Family, and sols new to the community, it is a privilege to share these messages of humanity with you; from the voices of the people.Politics is a hard lined divisive subject. We have placed it in the hush zone with discussions of money, ethnic relations, & religion! We had the privilege to sit with the current and running politicians in North County San Diego Tiffany Boyd-Hodgson & Cipriano Vargas. What is politics to the citizens, is policy making to the politicians. The fact is whatever they call it, being on the fringes of it and being touched only by the legislated mandates.Tired of the public charm without the insistence on public service. Both Tiffany Boyd-Hodgson & Cipriano Vargas shed their publicist, lawyer, and speech writers, for a heartfelt, warm, empowering conversation in the Policy of Politics; on a human level.Pop out your ice tea fan next to the fireside, and join us for a chat. To understand why the hell we even need elected officials to govern a largely loving and caring society. What the different levels of politics mean to the hamlet, town, city, unincorporated, and what the federal level does to state. What ways we can tell the local and city representatives to truly represent our collective constituent votes. How in the hell we hold them accountable, and most importantly how we can invest as citizens and policy makers, in raising up the whole of the community.Our hope is to see more conversations discussing the Politics of Policymaking take on this mantle. In order for such things to take place you've gotta be active in #HumanizingUs all. Fact is, Thoughts are free, revolution takes action; #BeRevolutionary.*Guest voices: Tiffany Boyd-Hodgson is running for County Supervisor - District 5. Cipriano Vargas is running for Vista City Mayor. Please do your due diligence on the persons you feel would best represent your vote. This was a human conversation about policy making involving the voices of those that can best articulate; tis all!Thank you to @prmtvsls for the intro to the pod, could use some work; but it'll do! Asett for the championing art giving the right light to both our guests. Venus Johnson @VenusJohnson for enlightening us: politics is for dummies, policy making is for humanity.Important thank you to Tiffany Boyd-Hodgson & Cipriano Vargas for braving the public space of conversation and finding the comfortability and safety to speak from the heart, and not the podium.To the listeners; it is our privilege to offer up the voices of community on this #soapboxnmic If your voice through art or other needs to speak to humanity.

Freethought Fam - Friends - Family, and new coming community, it is a privilege to share these messages of humanity with you; from the voices of the people.With the help of Dr. Feeby and Dr Mark, we are able to delve into a much maligned and improperly humanized conversation about: Mental Health, Trauma, and the unique independent/interdependent relationship between them. They hold the key in the creation of who we are as individuals, and the path we walk in life. As sols attempting to thrive in a world that sees us less as humans, and more as tools to economic enrichment, our health is parlayed as an extravagance; and if the scars don't show it doesn't exist- walk it off.We wanted to give a heartfelt understanding of the ways we are so often held captive, by a life of unresolved trauma. The effects of trauma, and most significantly what is trauma relative to another's. What impact does trauma have in the development of a neural divergent sol, and what does it mean to be labeled as abnormally functioning. How do we gain a better foot in our own path to “normalcy”, while still being cognizant of others. Suicide is a often a taboo topic, but a real life event that has touched most lives. With the intimate and vulnerable share of personal testimony we get to understand what the thoughts are behind such a final act of submission.But of course we end with ways to enrich and liven your own life. This is a topic we all need, but far too many never get the chance to hear. 2 Pieces & a Biscuit: Thank you for listening, sharing, rating, and the rest of tha digs; be blessed!.

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, and the Uninitiated,During our live women's re-empowerment event, we had the pleasure of experiencing many facets of “woman” through the art of dance, painting, music, and poetry. Listen up and get down for the cause, as Asett discusses the topic of womanhood with a diversity panel of firile goddesses. Firility is not recognized as an official word. We are empowered to create our own language to describe women that is equal, if not greater than, man's “virility.” Firile is born of fire, a powerful force of nature. For all the people who have suppressed our voices, used their physical strength to hold us down, failed to see us for more than our bodies, used our empathy against us, viewed us as the lesser sex, paid us less than we deserved, or put us on a pedestal…This is for you.  This is our moment to crown ourselves goddesses.We would like to express our deepest thanks to the artists, performers, panelists, and production team that made this all happen, without asking for anything in return.

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, & the Uninitiated,What the hell is an ally? Not when inside the tense and volatile spaces of war rooms staging the violent affairs of death and mayhem, but when asking to be seen as more than a stigma, label, object, or more importantly “other”! We struggle so often trying to find the right way to describe, define and detail the ways we hope someone can be an ally to us, that we forget what it means to ally ourselves with the interest of others first. In a world that is continuously spreading information to make us feel ever more isolated and divided, how can we ensure that when someone reaches out they know; we got them.Knowing the effects of art presented to individuals, especially those in underserved communities; or just a bite to eat for our unhomed population. These two firile sols are consistently finding ways to extend their reach and ingratiate more members of the community under the warmth of their loving heart.Sarah Spinks of Backfence Society Inc. and Heather aka DJ WildBlooms- Fallbrook Mutual Aid… mother, friend, shoulder, wife, intellect,... many words adhere to them and they explain how we can become better not just allies but co-conspirators.The best way forward is to become better versed in the cultures of others, the struggles they go through, and the heart it takes to exist in “separate but equal spaces”.*Note: Women's History Month needs a new ceremony Free Thought Community, Kizzy Presents, Mystic Fiend, Ratas Race, Poetic Pixels Photography, & Poetically Outspoken Photography bring you: Crowning Goddess: Parables of Firility A women's empowerment living artistic revolution with 100% with of the proceeds going to Backfence Society Inc.

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, and the Uninitiated,The future of voting is in the hands of the new generations, and we are changing the old guard. We speak with Vista City Council member Katie Melendez on real issues effecting working class people. We learn how to participate in voting and politics, by more than just coloring in bubbles once a year.  Contacting your representatives does matter. Local politics are more impactful than National politics, yet we invest less of our attention to it. When we vote for an Elected, we are entrusting them with their decision making ability for them to vote on our behalf.  Learn about who these people are and find someone who shares your values. For those disenfranchised about the democratic system, griping is not going to help. Put on your glasses, do your research, then rock the vote! Intro by: Venus Johnson instagram.com/thevenusjohnson Thank you for the inspiration to the youth and us all to realize the power of our voice. Music by: Sonny, your beats are perfect. We can't stop using them. Thanks again Music by Sonny - "sonn​.​e - green.grapes"  instagram.com/prodbysonnyhttps://themtrademark.bandcamp.com/album/m-o-o-n-l-i-g-h-t-l-pThank you, Katie, for being the change. You see the diverse community you represent and fight for them. 

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, and the Uninitiated,Please pull out ya smores, popcorn, treats, snacks, and other goodies. We are sitting down to the story of Afrofuturism with the story teller of our modern age, and the caretaker shepherding the arts and knowledge. The conscious effort to further expanding arts, especially Afrocentric art; is paramount to their life story. They bring with them the creativity, artistry, and intimate understanding of what our future holds when the picture staring back include- you.There is a serious consternation revolving not just the inclusion of melanated individuals. Not in simple "i's, ain't gots no"... but with layers and depth. Afro-futurism is a term that was coined by a british journalist to describe the genre of artistic creation that included a diverse character world filled with melanated individuals, however; when left to definitions given by others the truth is always ignorantly relayed. We give a real understanding of what Afrofuturism is, who is in it, why it matters to have such a thing, and the significance of seeing yourself in the pages, pictures, music, and other arts we enjoy. Thank you Doc Friyali, for sitting down to a meal, a mind, and bringing some heart; to a story much needed and more importantly shared.Thank you JD, fellow Afro Nerd, it was a pleasure to shed the coat of imposterism with you.Isaiah aka 3rdI truly enjoy the Montego cover, blessing the cords and our ears- much obliged.Madison Gray the art work epitomizes the conversation, and includes a goddess. Much appreciated. instagram.com/maddmallowTo the listeners, thank you for the ears. Please share the heartfelt message of humanity; Humanize Us.

Dear Friends Family Revolutionaries, and the Uninitiated,There is nothing routine about life. The fundamental fear of "who are we", haunts us from adolescence through pre-pubescence on into, our life adult life. The crisis of self is a shared experience we all go through, but fail to connect as we strive to find our best self.  From the first moments of self-realization, to the first exhaled breath; as your true self. What is it like to know from an early age exactly who you are, yet struggle to feel whole as you walk through life. How do we know when we have found ourselves, and how do we best express the voice of our soul.Sitting with Gregory and Latiana, two sols that conquered self doubt, fear, and outside pressures of the world to conform. In spite of wanting to spread their wings and let their voices sing they describe the courage it took to endure abuse, targeting, rejection, attempts at conversion, and more...  The power and unwavering conviction of self knowledge bestows on the heart, and how the smallest touches of Humanity; save a life.Teacher, wiccan, lover, friend, daughter, son, mother, student, artist, the trials and tribulations of transformation into life of individual expressive freedom. From the mouths of Marsha P. Johson's children, ensure you pay them a full mind; as they detail the path to find- yourself!~Thoughts are free, Revolution takes actions; Be Revolutionary~To my dearest of friends and new-found family, Gregory & Latiana; thank you for having the courage to share your voice and express in an uplifting light stories we all very much need to be aware of. Thank you an be blessed.Thank you for the help to guide and give understanding for and from a real ambassador of the community, sol Josie Caballero, Director of US Transgender Survey for the National Center for Transgender Equality, whose words resonate with a firile ferocity.Sonny having trouble getting your beats out of the noggin, so have to keep splicing and sharing them.

Dear Friends Family Revolutionaries & the Uninitiated,The scales of justice have three distinct roles, policeman - corrections - criminal, that bring the system into life. The criminal begat the police man, the policeman begets the corrections officer. Their existence is intrinsically dependent upon the criminal, and one another. The conversations they hold are never as equals; if they converse at all.We sit down with two purveyors of the system of accountability to have a heartfelt empathetic unadulterated conversation.To understand a system that imprisons individuals in an automated robotic manner, we have to address what accountability means. The darkest and ugliest of crimes that make your stomach wrench give calm when knowing there are small corners we can lock away the criminals. As they await the slow painful loss of life until their demise; or maybe we'll give a jolt to get 'em going. Do we pause the needle for the sol texting that murdered a family of 4 toddlers? Do we settle for life imprisonment for the sol whose behaviors contributed to the delinquency of a minor? What does settling right with the officers and instilling corrections? Do the institutional concrete towers reserved for dark persons rehabilitate, instill fear, or capitalize on humanity's lack of empathy? What is it like on the inside watching the convicted struggle to find semblances of humanity in incarcerated spaces. What are the interactions when there is no one to monitor? How do we find ourselves in determining the validity of someone's access to absolute natural borne rights, and how we apply them in the different avenues of life. How do the sols that become the monitors and bastions of slices of humanity find themselves in these arduous roles.Finally, what does it take for us to bestow humanity to the sols next to us, in a system that cashes in on the cache of private capital industry. Afterall, how does a system of justice work and depend on the capital of humans?Join us as we fall into part one of Accountability with a cop, corrections; and the criminal!Thoughts are Free, Revolution takes Action; Be revolutionary!Music by Sonny - "sonn​.​e - phonies.z"  instagram.com/prodbysonnyhttps://themtrademark.bandcamp.com/Art by Mark JesinoskiA sincere thank you to both Policeman "P" and Corrections "C" for their words, insights, and helps in finding Humanity in between the cells of the systems and roles we take on. This story cannot be told without your bravery and unflinching honesty. Thank you and be blessed!Dr. Mark Jesinowski for whose brush strokes paint a vivid story and beautiful account. Sonny for the music that brought the real squid games to light. Greg Snaer for putting together revolutionaries on a path of enlightenment. Asett for ensuring the wondrous maze of our mind fits into a stream of conscious folks can follow. Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/freethoughtrevolution)

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, and the Uninitiated,Please listen while we sit with the CEO and Publisher and, Founder and Editor of “Black SD Magazine'' to discuss the Transcendence of Language Beyond the Threshold and Limits of Royalty. With a mission to display Black excellence, luxury, & lifestyle, from the historical reference and anecdotes of what it means to be tied to the title of Monarchy, to the real life attributes of what it means to be royalty, and the active manifestations in how they affect real life. The implicit meaning behind what it means to say, hear, or apply such labels to others; intimately known or not. Why do we fight for a title that subjugates and oppresses those beneath them?The intention behind placing these titles upon one another is for an investment, a tokenship of seeing and holding up the value in another. Empty titles are as abundant as hollow prayers. Without investing in the interpersonal value and depth of one another these titles are meaningless. Taught values from the heart of mother, in a home that welcomed self; we learn the truth in a mission and purpose in life are core to who we are; and the majesty of life.We must ensure we are good with the basic philosophies and principles that root us in life. We need to cherish our true vibrating harmony, and express that in our life.Taking the time to have not just true reflection of self, but also being open to the conflict of others' affairs in life; especially if it means we must evolve beyond the self centered nature of self.Sold and fed a bill of health that is meant to complete us, instead perverts the righteous aspirations we carry. Moving on from “good” & “bad” and taking the education from lived experiences. Focusing on building tribes and communities, utilizing privilege to help others learn to be unapologetically free.A walk through the offices of Black SD Magazine celebrating SD Melanin's Black Excellence, We had a dream that we would hold a conversation allowing us and others to learn how to transcend the barriers of titles and language. Taking power in voice and speaking into existence our identity in individual excellence, without bondage of faux labels.Art by Quantal Langford instagram.com/quantallangfordMusic by Mikayla Torres instagram.com/hesh.mamaSpoken word by Mamadelamyco instagram.com/mamadelamycoA personal thank you to Michael Cox for giving us the privilege of holding and sharing space. We gained a world of strength and knowledge from your lived experiences, and hope to continue to embrace them as well as acting them into existence. The courage you've given us cannot be stolen, Pride is undefinable.Thank you Asett for continuing to work and share the beauty and diversity in the artists that come together to create change. This vision does not come together without your mastery.Mikaela for the words of a goddess to bless our journey. Thanks Mikayla for the soulful introduction to guide us in the rough spots. Thank you for the visual reminder to epitomize our inner mind.

Why do we venture into the overgrown brambles & weeds of nature where only the primitives live? Why do we find so much peace beyond the fringes of society? We spoke to Toni who completed a journey of 700 miles, much of it spent healing and processing what happened to them at the start. We discuss the varied experiences in the wild for members of different communities, and how not everyone enjoys the right to safety while accessing nature. It's a serious and fun conversation about what one needs and doesn't need to survive on the Pacific Crest Trail, from edibles to condoms to sweat-wicking underwear - cotton is rotten and the trail provides...Cover Art: instagram.com/lilndngrlTiktok @lilndngrl94 Music and special guest: instagram.com/nudeybootybum

Fear is a very real place, it is the one manifestation that every human can empathize with; especially while the globe goes through a viral pandemic together- in isolation. We find so much of what was once a hardcore belief is now a struggle. We see the divisions in society and watch as many of them continue to be exacerbated. A condition of human existence, ingrained in us from a survival aspect.Sitting down with Dr. Feeby Wooden & Dr. Mark Jesinoski to discuss the Human & Heart of what has been a very long journey of discovery for us all during this very real Human Pandemic. With the veil removed and a crash into a very ugly reality for many communities, we have found collecting into tribes has helped many reconnect with a deeper and more interpersonal relationship. The draw and luster of rich items has been replaced with a desire to plant and grow life. The long days of existence for a life we don't get to participate in has turned many to follow their passion.We have a control complex running through society and it has pushed many of us to butt our heads against the rapids of life. Learning to submit and releasing the tension and surrendering to the healthy flow of life. Getting away from the narcissistic inclinations of capital gains, and instead investing and ingratiating the best parts of natural life into our lives on a very personal level.We dance and sing, under cover of bedroom doors and window drapes, to energize our life, and create new pathways to find the most loving and valuable pieces of our life. To be sure, as we leave the pandemic slowly; learn to be intentional- and breathe!Dr. Feeby Wooden & Dr. Mark Jesinoski . Thank you for the best COVID conversation we've had, guiding us on a pathway to grow and build ourselves, and manage to create relationships with others for mutual benefit.Thank you Erky for the fresh beat.twitter: https://twitter.com/ErkyPlaysyoutube: Erky PlaysOh ya, and Dr. Mark doing Art baby, shukran. Asett nobody gets to hear our maniacal vision and drive for Humanity without you.  Thanks for making it sound tha digs!Go Fuck Up; just don't hurt nobody. Don't worry about control, just be you; Breathe! -doctors' ordersWe have been subjected to a constant state of fear with a pandemic uprooting our normal way of life. Life has become a mash-up of misinformation, disinformation, malinformation, and isolation. The pathways to division have been easier with the glass ceiling breaking and the visage of equality clearly being shown for what it is; a farce. Capitalistic riches are no longer the mainstream focus, life has given us too much reality in our search for humanity, and have become far more intune with what really matters in life. The scariest part of life is understanding that divisions are imagined creatures borne of our fear, and to embrace our humanity; we must embrace the scariest part of life; change!

 Dear friends, family revolutionaries and the uninitiated,Quantal Langford joined us to discuss the Crux of Male Intellectualism. A graphic designer, comic book artist, podcaster, wrastler, coach, humanitarian, and more. The nature of masculinity is something that has been twisted into a symbol of virility, power, and authority. Yet, the very nature of our existence is that of protector, and to protect one must first love, nurture, and care for with the tenderest of touches. So how do we go from such empathic and heartfelt Sols to physically imposing brutes that know no better than to smash and hit.The design and caricatures we utilize to ostracize art, intellectualism, tenderness, and other "feminine" qualities from our male formed Sols, is antithetical to the essence of what we are. From the first footfalls of infantdom, to the fickled pickled grey hair on on the balding scalps of our heads; we discuss what is the true charisma of Male Intellectualism.Thank you to @prodbysonny for the instrumental flavor. Quantal Langford @TheCreativeBrew for holding space on a tricky subject. Asett as always without your talent and delicate touch these magnanimous dreams do not become reality.And to you friends, family, revolutionaries, and the uninitiated, thank you for listening and sharing in community with us. We hope this space provides some positivity for you! Show Your HumanityHumanize UsThoughts are Free, Revolution Takes Action; Be Revolutionary!Special Guest: Quantal Langford - instagram.com/quantallangfordMusic by:  Sonny - "sonn​.​e - bloo​.​s"  instagram.com/prodbysonny https://themtrademark.bandcamp.com/

We live in a world in which the value of who we are in so many ways is tied to our looks. Ironically, in a country with the highest global rate of obesity, We value fat people among the least; at least we show it by our actions- societally. We had the privilege to sit and discuss what the real life implications are on real people; and the disadvantages they deal with because of the alienation.

Treated to the masterful awe inspiring art work of visionaries, put in our seats with dynamic spoken word kaigetsu; and finally given message and knowledge with a live conversation: special co-host Ramel J. Wallace, and guests Dr. Lawana Firyali Richmond, & Quantal Langford.All parties involved in the event spent the night exposing their privilege and utilizing their talent to bring attention and awareness to a community in plight; us. We are far removed from the natural ability to live a life of health, love and interaction without the encumbrance and interference of a capitalistic system they charge us for human rights. We discussed the parallels to an antiquated monarch system, of kings and beggars, touched on the connections between all of us as humans, and denounced stigmas applied to individuals that are journeying through an unprivileged life. We undressed the erroneous nature of limited resources, and concentrated on the different methods that we as individual representatives of the community; can implement to become ambassadors of Humanity.Musicians in order of appearance on the recording:Sojirn: https://www.instagram.com/so.jirn/kaigetsu: https://www.instagram.com/kaigetsu.s/Mikayla Torres: https://www.instagram.com/hesh.mama/Kizzy Satchel: https://www.instagram.com/africanvirgo/Thank you to each one of the revolutionary talented artists that helped to create and pulled off a beautiful Humanitarian event.Cameron Rea: https://www.instagram.com/cambamgrandslam/ Quantal Langford: https://www.instagram.com/quantallangford/​Xzayvion: https://www.instagram.com/xisle.jp/Jeridel Banks: https://www.instagram.com/blackbearcatpress/Lee Brown: https://www.instagram.com/vampirevictim/Jesse Owens:https://www.instagram.com/jesseowins/​S.M.

The heart of a community is best exemplified by its citizens, and those that cherish the city so much they give their time, sweat, and breathe to give back to the homies continuously overlooked. In Oceanside tourists are invited with the beautiful coastal beaches, the elegant hotels that overlook it, elegant restaurants allowing them to gorge on delicacies. All the while walking past what were once the dreams of the people that lived in Oceanside; who now sleep alongside the buildings' back alleyways. We had the privilege of sitting with En Mi Palma's Founders Alexandra & Jasmine, to learn how these two sols have taken back the city, by investing in the humanity that lives within its gentrified pillars. Tired of passing by the poverty afflicted & unhomed, to help those in the big city of Daygo; they turned the energy back towards their hometown. Pull up a couch in this Autumn weather, bring a loved one near, and share in the friendship - passion - love - beauty - and humanity; these two pioneering sols epitomize. Learn how we can all become “homies helping homies”, even while struggling between two jobs, and volunteering the sparse free time to empower others. They still took time to share how they carry a world of love- En Mi Palma. ***Free Thought  Community is doing a charity: Upholding Community Empowerment -Oct. 9th, at The Hill Street Country Club & Zoom.  100% of the proceeds will be going to Oceanside Homeless Resource & En Mi Palma https://oceansidehomelessresource.com https://enmipalma.wordpress.com/author/enmipalma Look em up!

It is my privilege to introduce to you three separate and distinct individuals whose voices you would never hear otherwise, they are but a glimpse into the reality of what it means to be a survivor of life's tumultuous journey.Will not excuse the audio, this is the home we have relegated members of our society to, note this is supposed to be an improvement; this is the life of our community members- Find the Humanity in them, it'll lead you to the humanity in yourself- Humanize Us.Be blessed, thank you and remember:Thoughts are Free, Revolution takes Action; Be Revolutionary If you feel the need to put your feet on the soap box, and use your voice on the mic we welcome you to reach out: FreeThoughtRev@gmail.com or @FreeThoughtRevolution (DM).Be Revolutionary, Thoughts are Free; Revolution Takes ActionMusic by Erasmus - "Shadow Storms"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_au2dQnVjTiWuNyclA6gsQDonations: https://ko-fi.com/freethoughtrevolution

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, and the Uninitiated,Food is Love!Join us as we explore what it means to have & be in a relationship with food, not as a critic, but as an influencer. Kareem Pinkston has decided to utilize his superpowered tantituclar tastebuds to devour Oceanside, bite by bite; while sharing his journey with the world. Specifically dining in southern Oceanside to bring more awareness to the small/family owned food businesses in the area; especially with the pandemic of diners. How does a young child from the Virgin Islands, who grew up eating off the land, find his passion in devouring the edible bits of culture in the Jambalaya that is Murica`.The many characteristics of food, taste, and a singular moment in time to encapsulate an individual's culinary skills. It's not about the best, so much as what you're looking for, and the many different places which food created from love can take you. There are positive elements to every meal, especially if we focus on the pleasantness instead of the off singularity.The best ways to enjoy food whether you are doing so professionally, or simply because folk gotta eat. The best ways to be inclusive and adventurous in your diet, while still getting delicious food. Off-menu, On-menu, dietary restriction, allergies… the correct way to go about ordering delicious num-num, in a world where Willy Wonka makes our food.REAL CONVERSATION WARNING: 1st World problems regarding what food, and what the real issues are surrounding stop food access issues. “I'm starving”, are you really though? Privilege, access, and availability of real, healthy, nourishing food.Be Revolutionary, Thoughts are Free; Revolution takes ActionThank youKareem Pinkston @eatingOceanside for joining us for a bite to eat, and staying for a conversation after.

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, & the uninitiated,In the beginning there was nature, and all of us; come from, of, and return to Nature. The mortal journey we go through during life is a tumultuous path. Finding individuals wagering five - six months of time, to walk 2,650 miles. We found a soul, twenty miles into his walk home, along the Pacific Crest Trail.  who ventured to walk home, along the trail. Spending the time with nature to find what life holds next, on his vision quest. Leaving human's best friend, girlfriend, and Mom home; in order to set his spiritual path in alignment with his realistic lived experience. You have permission to eavesdrop on the conversation shared on the fringes of nature at Lake Morena, about the reasons someone leaves the comforts of home, to tackle the innermost turmoils, and create a symbiotic integration of life. Sir Wakkafella be safe, slow poke!Special Thank You:Erasmus for providing the natural nature ambience to bring melody to the message.Mystic Fiend for blessing us with the unimaginable, yet; still created art to encompass the words in such a stark image.

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, and the Uninitiated,The beginning of fatherhood is always blessed and bestowed upon us by the Mother Goddess, and to ensure we do it correctly we brought back Miss Mamadelamyco; to guide us on this journey Decolonizing Fatherhood. We discuss the (nonexistent) difference between Stepfather and just father. From the words of two fathers we learn what it means to be a father, and the different feelings father's may go through. What was the first reaction to being told you were going to be a father? Where and how did you learn to be a good father? How do you continue to grow into fatherhood?Mother's have the direct connection to children through a long natural growth in the womb, We discuss what father's feel sitting and waiting for the stew to finish. How the distance disconnects father's from the children creates a different sort of bond in the process of becoming dads. What it means for father's to fit in during the birthing, raising, rearing, nurturing process.We get our hands dirty changing diapers, literally and physically; we brag about that! What is up with gender preferences, and what is it mean to be a man-partner-father; in relationships where we continue to be viewed only as physical protectorates & providers. Exploring the mental & emotional tolls it takes to shed the cloak and patriarchal labels of “fatherhood”. Support one, because it does; take a community! #MentooWe discuss natural earth medicine's role in our relationship with parenting? Integration of it with the children and the structure of natural indigenious culture in the growth of our relationship with children,and family structure.Ending with the best ways fathers get their oxytocin and the intoxication of babies.Thank you Mamadelamyco for guiding us bumbling fathers through the decolonization of fatherhood. Merlyn for the soul-fatherly-male support in discussing the best and darkest parts of fatherhood. #Mentoo #1in6Special Thank you to Asett for blessing us with 3 babies in 3 years; a gift we will never be able to return in equivocation, Blessed Ankh.Thank you, Mamadelamyco and Erasmus (Merlyn)https://www.instagram.com/mamadelamyco/Episode music by Erasmus "Patience, Power, and Grace"https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/erasmus1/moon-upon-your-side-4Intro: words to his children by ErasmusDonations: https://ko-fi.com/freethoughtrevolutionContact: freethoughtrev@gmail.com

*Apologies for audio quality malfunction, but the content was too good to not post*Mothers Nature Knows Best and in an effort to embrace the sacred identity of Motherhood, we sought out Mamadelamyco, and provoked Asett to gain a better understanding from two naturalistic mothers. From the mouths of the Goddesses, and only the mouths of Goddesses; we get the true understanding of what it means to mother, be motherly; and to embrace motherhood. What the real impacts of using mother earth's natural herbs to medicate pre, during, and post pregnancy. Exposing the detached method in which life is brought into the world when going through the medical system, versus utilizing the natural orders and birthing processes we used to; while touching on the disparity between treatment for melanated versus non-melanated life creators. Restoring our Mothers to their rightful places as the true and only life creators, de-stigmatizing and empowering their journey back to controlling their bodies and the journey of carrying their Goddess seed to fruition. Mother Mamadelamyco dispenses pills of wisdom with Psychedelic platitudes, allowing us proper ingratiation to the healthy places Psilocybin can take us and our children; whilst holding a proper place within parenting. Both for a daily dose of healthy mindfulness, with sub perceptual boosting, a hero's journey, to even the weird places 25 grams will take you. The subtle and gentle guidance that one can find through a personal journey- understanding that each person's relationship and trip with the medicine is unique.Thank you, Mamadelamycohttps://www.instagram.com/mamadelamyco/Art by: MamadelamycoMusic by:James WarnekeIntro: "The Charge of the Goddess" by Amber K. and Azrael Arynn K., Samhain, 2010Closing Story: "Crystal" by RashDonations: https://ko-fi.com/freethoughtrevolutionContact: freethoughtrev@gmail.com

Humanize UsIf you know the spots, or are in with the culture, you can find him in his natural environment. Aside from that this real skater is only ever found, being a pillar to the community in the only way he knows how. Dispensing the best street board knowledge to friends, family, skaters, and the uninitiated. At his most comfortable with a push-kick-push-kick, and some incredible tricks. Woody found time between being figurehead of Overcast- community -Skateshop, to begin some little peddling feet of his own.

Behind the glitz, glamour, and big strong handed henchmen, what is; the suave  styling always smiling divva behind the mixers. We decided to go deeper than what, and learned who Miss Goldie is. Why she insists on carrying around a tent full of records, ignoring Miss Badu; she epitomizes the Bag Lady. Her bags come with dazzling eyes, soft feet, and half her spirit. They are adorned with the love she was engendered with as growing up in the ritzy hoods of the Bay Area, picking up and leaving her flavors of the American Jambalaya. Driven by the words of her beloved ancestors, proving ideal for her children, and shedding ghosts of her own. A musician in her own right, please take a moment to meet the illustrious Miss Goldie.Afterwards find her at www.goldiesrecordcompany.com or visit her dazzling images splattered across instagram of the sounds of her life @goldiesrecordcompany. *Host notes: after much consideration her henchmen were gentlemen the whole time through, and would recommend them to anyone looking for Top Flight Security ;)Be blessed!Be Revolutionary, Thoughts are Free; Revolution Takes Action!It starts with a conversation, #HumanizeUsMusic by Erky twitter: https://twitter.com/ErkyPlaysyoutube: Erky PlaysDonations: https://ko-fi.com/freethoughtrevolutionContact: freethoughtrev@gmail.com

A daughter so taken up by her father, her passion in life stems from his own esteemed career; a picture perfect image, or is it? The roles we fill being ambassadors of our ancestors, and living testaments to their will to survive. The story of descendants carrying the torch is not always a picture perfect image, sometimes there is injury that leaves scars and breeds host to Student-dom. Ironically our fear of mistakes, and the defining nature of our failures is hard to escape. When the devices of the world value a "normal" structured learning process how do those of us with Divergent processes fit? In the last year we've all gone through a definitive change in life, and with that we're all on a different life learning curve of experience in trying to obtain brilliant confidence- and all real. Teacher- Student- Daughter SydneyRay, will swell your heart and give you all you need to #HumanizeUs

Juneteenth, is representative of America's first step to Humanizing the inhabitants of the land; pinky toe in the water. July 4th is the celebrated independence day of America, however: if any person is restricted access to Human Rights, is anyone truly free? We will celebrate the dream of independence America promised, by reaching out to individuals in the community; and giving voice to their Humanity. Each individual We speak to belongs to those minimized groups overlooked too often in society, and We hope by hearing them; We will strive for Human rights for every person; starting with their voice.

Dear Friends Family Revolutionaries, and the UninitiatedIt is our privilege to take a dive behind the scenes and speak to one of the individuals affecting real change. PhD candiditate Patrick Milder helps get a better understanding of our interconnectedness to the Tree of Life. Taking a peek at life, from a non-human perspective to  begin to see the beauty of Life. RNA strands floating freely in the deep basins of the sea, explosive geosphere altering volcanoes; the boom of life that always accompanies a mass extinction event, and it occuring all around us. Missing links much? Times flies like a banana, Mojave flies like alcohol. Everything drinks alcohol, and how some animals survive in the "exotic" environments. Inducing epilipectic seizures in fish, to help treat medication resistant Epilepsy. No fish can't feel pain, can; Well we discussed it- consensus ???Science the truth in our continued errors, and why that; makes science more trustworthy.

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, & the Uninitiated, bringing you the story of one Ronald Proctor- Sir Peanut. Cat helps us understand what Appreciation means, from a cat with hood nightmares; from his real life. Mr. Proctor shares six year old dumpster diving in order to feed himself,  explains how seeing bodies dropped leaves an imprint that is never shaken; like the hunger pangs of poverty. Time is the most significant item we have; but we don't appreciate it. How does one show appreciation, and does the manner of appreciation shown have to meet the recipients standards? Having to survive the bad times; in order to understand what good the good is. Dabbling a bit in some forgiveness, and what do we have to do in order to express it. Shut up & Dribble does not work for us royal mu f*ckas! How do you appreciate the most important person that matters; you, without having the time in life too appreciate yourself? Donations: https://ko-fi.com/freethoughtrevolutionContact: freethoughtrev@gmail.comFreeThoughtRevolution.comThank you Ronald Proctor for sharing the vulnerabilities of your life with us; to better serve and understand what appreciation is.

Update on Season 2 break. We will be back shortly. Peep Season 1 if you haven't yet.

Rash & Lakisha discuss the hard truth behind Black Owned Businesses. Free Thought Revolution is changing the name of Black Owned to Melanin Owned. Whether or not the foundation of M.O.B. is easier or harder to start with the lack of economic resources. Who is melanated, who isn't; and how do you can join the cool kids club without it. Where is our 40 acres and a mule? Are products from M.O.B. cheaper, poorer quality, or are ya'll on one. Spike Lee and Malcolm X's effect on black production and cinema. Stop, asking for a damn "hook up" and start spending money in melanin owned. We're working twice as hard in order to get it done; consider it a %50 discount. Who do you know that needs to have their business exposed. Spread the word, help get M.O.B. Culture; reach one, to teach one; each one. Get ya voices out and let our community grow!

Rash and Greg, (old ass men) finish dropping pearls of revolutionary wisdom. Detailing the transformation of sterotypes & prejudices over generations, from "Birth of a Nation"(Clansman) to today's representation of African-Ancestored, the subliminal effects it has on behavior; how to combat those patterns by active resistance. Why the equity we shout about has been kept from us for so long. Was segregation really a beneficial thing? Burning the house down during the revolution may not be a bad thing. Masculinity is... Remember this fight is not for us, but those that follow behind us; and we must ensure we reach back and help out those behind us. Empowering the thinkers to educate the leaders of the next generation in order to give us the best future possible.Ensuring we, Melanated help ourselves and, all(y) those in need!"To all listening to go and touch someone's heart, engage their life; each one teach one " - Greg Snaer
