Back to Our Roots

“I am a descendant of strength, honor and greatness. I am courageous in the face of prejudice and adversity. I am hopeful that we can come together and unite as a people. Being weak is no longer an option! Stand strong in every situation and circumstance!”-Lola the Movement

The world watches as our sisters degrade themselves and continuously tear each other down. We listen as they hurl foul words at each other; which is a far from the proper grammar many of us were taught to use. Our daughters watch as many of us over expose our private parts for the public arenas. Using sexuality as a tool to get money, men or likes has become the norm. The constant degradation of our sisters leaves nothing to the imagination. It is has been a long time coming, but its time that we “cover up our assets” and begin the process of rebuilding our broken parts. We want to set better examples for the young women who are looking to us for guidance and protection. None of us are perfect, but we all have the ability to do better. Queens! Let’s create a better example for the younger generations. Let’s be mindful of the way we represent womankind. Let’s set our standards high so that we can reach your God given spiritual pedestals.

The world also watches as our brothers abandon their families; not always by choice, but often by circumstance. We are horrified as they kill each other (reppin’) “blocks” that they don’t even own. We listen as they cowardly plot to sleep with, use and mentally abuse clueless women with no intention of loving them. They are aggressive, disrespectful and rude. So many of them claim to be ‘glorified gangstas’ these days! So many men, who are physically built to work hard, are now sitting at home while his woman is working two jobs trying to make ends meet. Men are verbally, emotionally and physically tearing down their women and children. They are habitually maintaining two or more relationships at a time with no empathy for the women and children who are being hurt along the way. MEN! Get over yourself! Be accountable for your actions, apologize for the bad things and begin to work towards the good things! Stand up my kings! We need you to take your rightful place within the family unit! You are the head of the family/household! Current and future generations are depending on you! Be accountable for everything you do. Create a lasting, positive legacy that will make us proud!

Hear my cries as I pray for us to embrace the royalty we represent. We are beautiful people! From our thick, curly hair to our full, supple lips we represent royalty. We have skin that is as deep as mahogany wood and as fair as sweet cream. Let us enrich our minds, bodies and souls so that we may have a fighting chance to win the spiritual battles that we will surely face.  I ask you to please reconsider your loyalty. Remember the Most High God that governs our lives. Let us embrace one another in a way that will make Him proud. We are gifted and blessed beyond any circumstance if we just remain steadfast in our faith. We are here now and have the ability to prove our naysayers wrong. We must not accept weak because we are strong! My brothers and sisters I ask you to encourage one another.  We are an embodiment that represents strength, courage and wisdom. Be an example for each other, our children and future generations. Take a good look in the mirror because they will one day become trees of the seeds we planted.

Share this mantra with everyone you encounter: I am beyond your thoughts of me. I am beyond the negative words you speak of me. I am greater than any harm that comes to me. I am gifted and blessed you see. I have brilliantly devised a plan to cover your negative energy in prayer and positivity. Amen!

All praises to the Most High. Thank You for continuously forgiving us. Help us to rebuild our broken hearts, minds and spirits. Help us to seek You when the enemy attempts to cross our paths and change our destiny. Create in us clean hearts so that we may start anew. Redirect our steps so that we may walk a more righteous path.
