Gye-Nyame Journey Show

In this raw and reflective episode, Brother ha2tim takes us deep into the woods—literally and metaphorically—to unpack the vital role failure plays in personal and communal growth. From childhood lessons to hard-earned wisdom, he makes a powerful case for why we must reclaim failure as a human necessity, especially for our youth. This one's for the builders, the teachers, and the brave ones who try.

n this no-frills, no-fluff episode, Brother ha2tim gets surgical with language. Recorded from the Black Cave, not Ghana as originally planned, this message is rooted in clarity, disappointment, and truth.Too often, the term “racist” gives folks room to dodge, deflect, or dilute the harm. But anti-Black? That's direct. That's accurate. That's ours.Ha2tim challenges us to sharpen our words, reclaim our focus, and name the harm exactly as it is. This isn't just about vocabulary—it's about power.Episode 2956 drops May 31st — be ready to shift the way you speak and think.#FromTheBlackCave #AntiBlackness #GNJMedia #NoFrillsNoThrills

Brother ha2tim drops a raw and real emergency update about the collapse of his long-planned family trip to Ghana. From passport delays to visa silence, it's a journey filled with frustration, deep reflection, and a call for change. Tune in for lessons learned and what's next for the No Frills journey.

In this raw, no-nonsense episode, Brother ha2tim breaks down the dangerous mindset divide between how rulers are raised—and how employees are molded. From the kitchen sink to the Black Cave, he brings wisdom and fire as he challenges us to rethink how we're preparing the next generation.Recorded deep in the thought-forged walls of the Black Cave, this milestone 2954th episode marks a new rhythm—now dropping every Kuumba (Saturday).

In this episode, Brother Ha2tim dives into the deep wisdom of an African proverb and the principle of Kujichagulia. From wealth disparities to community burnout, he breaks down how collective responsibility can liberate us—and how doing your part matters more than ever. Plus, get an inside look at his upcoming journey to Ghana with the Gye-Nyame tribe!

In this no-frills, no-thrills solo drop, Brother Ha2tim takes the mic to deliver a simple but powerful truth: "You learn how to cut down trees by cutting down trees." This episode breaks down why real growth doesn't come from just reading or talking about it — it comes from doing the work. Whether it's walking, speaking, leading, or living — experience is the real teacher. This is the Gye-Nyame Journey — unfiltered, rooted, and real.

In this thought-provoking episode, Brother ha2tim unpacks Einstein's critique of capitalism and how it connects to the predator mindset embedded in our education system. From white supremacy to capitalist conditioning, we explore how schooling trains our children to extract instead of empower—and why that must change. It's time to shift from education for escape to education for liberation.

In this reflective episode, Brother ha2tim shares a deeply personal message about uncertainty, growth, and embracing the unknown. From questioning comfort to making a bold move to Ghana, he reminds us that being lost isn't failure—it's part of the journey. Tune in for a heartfelt reminder that sometimes, the path to finding yourself begins with letting go of the need to always know.

In this powerful reflection, Brother ha2tim challenges the mainstream narrative of "Black Excellence" and asks: are we chasing success, or simply reinforcing the systems designed to contain us? Drawing from personal experience and historical insight, this short episode invites listeners to rethink what liberation truly looks like—and whether we're still living on a modern-day plantation. No frills, no thrills… just truth.
