Sometimes I try to put myself in the shoes of those who have come before us and imagine what it was like with some of the challenges, disappointments, humiliations, torturing experiences and even the legendary feats that may have been achieved by them as I have attempted to further illustrate during this work. Then, I further think about how we embarrass ourselves as well as their blood, sweat and tears that helped to pave the way with many of our present day opportunities. This is simply mere foolishness and quite frankly an example of acting a fool that certainly is not what we should be...

In the effort to make the best out of our daily life experiences, it is sometimes necessary to focus on that boost that we believe gives us the favorable will and encouragement to make the best out of our mission and purpose in life. This is what the "spunk in your space" is all about. It also involves not taking the space that we individually take up with our physical bodies, our mental capacity to think and maneuver, our economic and financial impact, the sociological impact of our efforts, the spiritual impact of our decisions, participation and influences and how we connect with and...

This book offers an original strategy for the reader to use in confronting everyday challenges. It further takes into consideration the very humbling concept of resurrection and how one's faith can be based on that focus and encourages the reader to further identify it with the concept of Melanin within the human body working in unison for their daily survival.

This publication has attempted to speak to actually doing something about some of the foolish behavior that appear to be going on with how some individuals in our culture are disrespecting their selves and those who have tirelessly made sacrifices for them some time ago to be in the roles they find their selves in today. Just think, how would we even hear about our own Ancestors like Minister Ahmed Baba of the great learning center at Timbuktu before our current day Dr. Cornel West and President Barak Obama, the great ancient Queen Pharaoh Hatshepsut before the modern likes of the ever...

It specifically attempts to encourage all youth and youth supporters alike to genuinely work together for the best intended results to take place.

In retrospect, this publication has attempted to offer the reader and willing participant alike some very beneficial insight and direction to dealing with some possible scenarios that those individuals who may be headed for a kind of self-destruction may experience. This is specifically aimed at those situations that may involve individuals being hard headed and stiff necked. These individuals in this situation normally do not listen to anyone that is really attempting to help them on some occasions, and they still maintain roles as our family members, love ones, and neighbors and co-workers....
