☥ You have the choice ☥ the power to change your life ☥
☥ You have the wisdom ☥ ability to achieve ☥ maintain Radiant Health ☥
☥ There is no "bad" part of you; only parts of you yearning for love ☥ acceptance ☥ transmutation ☥
I have wrestled with how to connect with all that is US in an authentic and meaningful way that does not offend anyone. When faced with such challenges, I allow SPIRIT ☥ TRUTH (what we consider to be God ☥ our higher power) to make the final decision.
It is uncomfortable to say out loud that colonizers could not destroy Indigenous People, so they hid them inside this term that we call “Brown.” Using the term “Brown” renders Indigenous People invisible. Invisibility is what this website endeavors to reverse. It is not my place to label anyone - in fact my life’s work encourages us to drop these titles over time. However, I feel compelled by SPIRIT to specifically name and honor Indigenous People so that we can Heal ☥ Nourish ☥ Rise ☥ Master ☥ Our ☥ Lives. For many reasons, I have decided to officially drop the term “Brown” and will now refer to US as Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People (BIIP).

Ujamaa
Ujamaa is a Swahili word that refers to our collective family ☥ brotherhood ☥ sisterhood ☥ the universal bonds that connect ☥ sustain our humanity. We embody Ujamaa by embracing self-care ☥ giving from our excess ☥ cultivating a growth ☥ evolutionary mindset. We are on a mission to produce open-source mental wellness ☥ leadership ☥ healing content for Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant Communities. Become an Ujamaa sponsor at the SPIRIT, Pyramid or Pharaoh level, offer a monthly or one-time donation. The pandemic and inflation has impacted funding sources. Your support at any level is greatly needed and appreciated, and your gift can be anonymous.
We Need $114,500 or 8 Sponsors at the SPIRIT Level to Develop and Disseminate Our Current Healing Strategies:
We will also need an additional 6 SPIRIT level sponsors or $90,000 to get these reports and additional training materials into disenfranchised communities via community organizations ☥ schools ☥ churches ☥ Home/World Schoolers, etc. in both print and online forms (lack of proper online access remains a challenge for disenfranchised communities). The three reports below represent the foundational information needed to heal our communities ☥ empower them to thrive:
☥ Sexual Health For Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People (in development, need funding for anatomical art software,
equipment, development and distribution)
☥ Root Cause Analysis ☥ Removing The Blind Spots To Solutions For Black ☥ Indigenous ☥ Immigrant People (in
development; need funding for research, development and distribution)
☥ A Community-Based Ecosystems Approach for Promoting the Health, Wellbeing and Healing of Boys and Young Men
of Colour (completed; need funding for distribution to community organizations in the US and additional funding will
be needed for international distribution)
Once we obtain funding to disseminate these projects as community reports, we will seek additional funding to help us publish each project as books with accompanying toolkits (video courses, infographics, etc.). We need your help to make it happen. Your support is greatly needed and appreciated.
