You are intelligent.

We all are. Noone is anything but intelligent, I believe that to be God’s design. We all solve for something, and thats the intelligence He gave us. But we are not all solving for the same thing. And thats how we are different.

Agapanthus. Often referred to as blue lily, isicakathi (Xhosa) and ubani (Zulu)

This is a short affirmation for you as you enter the new year and as you path into the rest of your life.

I just wanted to tell you that you are everything that you need. That you have abundant skill and knowledge to get you through, to get you through it all.

And dont look so much around in envy of what others have achieved. Because you have your own purpose and path to get you there, where you need to be.

And yes, the last year was hard. But you are here now and you have the rest of your life to gain and climb and to reach for your aspirations fam. Dont let go.

Be present for the preparations. Dont get swallowed in a search for reparations. Find your meaning and get yourself there. Be guided. And be guidance.

And make plans.

I figure, a lot of our stories as black people get lost because we dont keep our records other than oral history, the stories that get passed down. But I encourage you now to keep a journal. And to write down your plans, your aspirations and have a record of all that you want to become.

And stop somewhere in the year and revise and review and refresh. Then keep going.

And if we write and save our knowledge, we pass it on and we help others along the way, and perhaps our future generations will yet have something of us and our experience that propels them further.

Be good. Yeah?
