Hey, y'all! I wrote a letter to Future Black Generations… Also, Black People currently here NOW if you feel called to write letters to future Black Generations please do so let's start a trend, and let's tell our stories and speak to our future Black generations like they are already here(it's called visualization) I have chills the same way I have read and learned about the past generations from our Enslaved Ancestors, Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela, Nina Simone, Miriam Makeba, Tupac and so many historical figures we know …future Black generations will study US and what we did during these times. What will you want them to know? ***Also, as an artist, I have let go of perfection and just allowing myself to write and create with intentionality so all the grammar errors you see I'm just going to leave them. I don't care anymore what grammar police think of me.

In this episode, I share my story of how I had people closest to me who were secretly jealous of me and they had secret animosity towards me and they tried to ruin my name and character and how what happened to Shanquella Robinson( a woman who was murdered at the hands of her supposed "friends" in Mexico in October)almost happened to me.

In this episode, I talk about Ryan Coogler's "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" how this movie is a love letter to Black Africans and the Diaspora, and how Black Panther is pointing Black people back to Africa!  Black Panther has played a significant role in my spiritual awakening journey. I talk about how African Spirituality is featured in this movie and the importance of honoring our Ancestors and having relationships with our Ancestors which are  ALL part of Wakanda Forever

Kyrie Irving a  Point Guard for the Brooklyn Nets shared a link to the documentary "Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America" on his social media platforms by Ronald Dalton Jr, revealing some factual truths about White Jews and Black people. Since sharing the link to this documentary Kyrie has been labeled"Antisemitic" he has lost his contract with Nike and has been suspended without pay from the Nets. Kyrie has done nothing wrong. Should he have added additional context on why he shared the link?  Yes. And he has taken FULL responsibility that he could have handled the situation differently. All the backlash/demands he is receiving are racist and feel very excessive and are tools and methods being used to control a Black man to "stay in line" which is what Slave owners used to do to Enslaved people when they got out of line and tried to defend themselves. The way Ky is being treated is problematic especially since other White people who make racial slurs in the industry and say anti-Black things don't get as many consequences and accountability as Kyrie is getting. In this episode, I talk about how Amazon's CEO Andy Jassy (a White Jewish man)and Jeff Bezos are still profiting off the documentary to the point they raised the price of the documentary since this whole Kyrie incident and how they still have the documentary on Amazon and they are not receiving any HEAT..but yet Kyrie(a Black man)is being labeled "antisemitic".

I fell for a master manipulator ,who is a narcissist who has created this persona where he fools everyone to believe he's this good kind man when in actual reality he is a liar, a manipulator, a womanizer ,a stalker and an emotional abusive man and so much more. Kelcy Bass also known as Dj Kelzz is a harmful womanizer and he needs to be held accountable. If you have been a victim of his I stand with you and I believe you.

Hey Y'all! *I do not own any of the resources / music provided on this podcast and epsiodes. * *Correction, this is ep 10 not 11* This is our first panel discussion for Kumo's Unfiltered Convos podcast and I'm so excited for you all to listen to this episode. In this necessary and needed panel discussion we talk about colorism and how light skin people benefit from it and how they have a responsibility to center dark skin /brown skin Black people.    The Black women , Queer/Non-binary femmes on this panel bring their own perspectives and share their experiences with colorsim which affects dark skin/ brown skin people the most who are mostly discriminated against because of their skin tone. Colorism is literally killing the Black community and though I'm not an expert I believe we in the Black community have a HUGE responsibility to center the most impacted by its deadly harm.   We also touch on light skin privilege / mixed race  privilege ,colorsim and it's  orgin and how it all stems from slavery.  We touch on the "acceptable Black girl "not having white features and how colorism continues to show up in our community! If you're listening to this episode today, especially if you're dark skin and brown skin and have been taught to hate your beautiful skin and you have non-white beauty standards/ features, I hope this audio love letter brings healing to your inner child! -Kumo Resources /Links: Light Skinned Privilege/ Colorism Orgin Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE4Lo4TIc8Y 4yr Old Black Girl video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYM9rm3CK24 Dr. Sarah L.
