Hiphoppas are encouraged to share resources. Hiphoppas should give as freely and as often as possible. It is the duty of every Hiphoppa to assist, whenever possible, in the relief of human suffering and in the correction of injustice. Hiphop is shown the highest respect when Hiphoppas respect each other. Hiphop Kulture is preserved, nurtured and developed when Hiphoppas preserve, nurture and develop one another.
and if they don't approve u can have 10 percent of my 80 percent of unemployment
i know it's only a small thing from one person, but maybe it can alleviate just a lil of ur worries, so we can focus on growing

love ya!

Sister Miss Lady ... you are so wonderful, and all that you've said is so beautiful! Thank You Sister.
It is encouraging beyond words, just to see the motivation and determination of new ideas, plans, hopes, dreams, goals for our people, this community, everything ... simply gorgeous ... almost as gorgeous as you!
In response to all that you've said above, I am probably going to sound like a broken record, but it's way too much for me to really be able to wrap my mind around. My focus is and always has been, just keeping us alive. That is the struggle I deal with on a daily basis. Even right now, as I type these words, bills are due and the money isn't all there to pay them. I've seen this so much, it's been so consistently my experience over the majority of the life of this community, that I've begun to believe it is simply my lot in life. It's hard for me to visualize real growth, planning for big things, when there is a foreclosure notice on the front door. I've spoke a few times over the years, of this foreclosure notice, and how oftentimes I'm the only one aware that it's been posted. With that being the case, the Family will often come to me with great ideas, about adding on, putting in a new pool or adding a game room or something, painting, remodeling, improving the property ... without ever being aware that we're finna be put out. It's so disheartening, but an experience that has unfortunately become my norm. I just can't see past the foreclosure notice. We get them almost every month. God and Our Ancestors have blessed though, for we've never been shut down in all the years we've been here. It's amazing, a blessing, but so very trying and tiring.
Fortunately though, God has blessed us immensely with a group of Brothers and Sisters that have willingly presented themselves to help us overcome this and add on too! They recognize and understand that I just don't have the capacity to consider all the new growth, great opportunities before us, while focusing on just trying to keep the lights on. They have forged new groups of us, Sisters and Brothers, willing to do all the hard work necessary to plan and achieve goals above and beyond what my capacity can bear right now.
We are blessed beyond compare. It takes a special group of people to do what they are doing, bringing with them a very high level of character, integrity, and honesty. In this realm, trust is so very important and they cover that too! It's more than I could have ever hoped for this community. In fact, it is more than I ever hoped or imagined.
The groups I speak of are Group Think which meets every Thursday morning, the Thursday Night Family meeting, Building and Rebuilding, and Brothers Chat which meets on Tuesday Nights. I could easily add Sister Chat in this number as well, who meet on Monday nights, but they've been a little bit unorganized of late, but I'm believing that won't always be the case.
I want to name names, and well, I think I'll try (in no particular order). Brother Tariq Muhammad, Brother Clyde Coger, Brother WARRIOR, Brother Nasheed, Brother HODEE, Sister Linda Chavis, Brother ELDER BA'KHYR, Sister VIDALIFE, Brother Brown H0rnet, Brother Saglifesaw, Brother LilPea, Sister CherryBlossom, Brother KWABENA, and Sister MsDrea, just to name a few. Please, don't anyone be upset if I left you out, for it was not intentional.
I know they are working on things like you've mentioned. I know that Sister Linda Chavis has great ideas and knowledge surrounding some of the topics you speak. She has met with the Brothers during Brother's Chat (the only Sister that I'm aware of, ever invited to join the Brothers during Brother's Chat), in an effort to share and discuss ideas like you mention. I'm not sure how far they've gotten, if final decisions have been made, or if they are still brainstorming ideas, but they are all thinking just like you ... and actively working on these things ... ways we can help destee grow, realize her full potential, and stop getting the monthly foreclosure notices.
So my suggestion to you Sister Miss Lady, is to get with any of these groups or individual Sisters and Brothers, adding your wisdom, energy, expertise, etc., to the mix. I know they will be glad to have the help!
Again, I just can't see that far right now, because of the monthly foreclosure notice we receive, my energy is spent, holding on to what we have.
I thank you so much for your love, energy, ideas, everything!
I think we can do this, with everyone's assistance, I think we can!
Yall work on that, and I'll keep doing what I do, trying to keep the lights on with no 'nuff money.
I Love You!
Destee
