The Man in the Photo is the Late Great Alprentice “Bunchy” Carter. A Revolutionary and a Leader. Here these definitions of a Foundational Black American. A Foundational Black Americans are the descendants of the Black people who survived one the greatest atrocities in recorded history-American slavery. FBA are the descendants of the Black people who built the United States from scratch.
But this history did not start in 1619. The history of FBA started almost 100 years earlier.
The first documented foreign settlers in the New World of North America were the enslaved Black people who were brought over by Spanish colonizer Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón in 1526.
Shortly after Ayllón and the 600 other Spaniard's arrival to the area that would later become the South Carolina/Georgia coast, the enslaved Black captives launched a successful revolt, forcing the few
remaining Spanish enslavers to ultimately retreat from the area, back towards the Caribbean.
The liberated Black people amalgamated into the local Native American society, and this was a new historic chapter in what would ultimately become the culture of Foundational Black Americans.
Since 1526, the culture of Foundational Black Americans has been that of building, resisting, perseverance, and fighting for justice. FBA are exceptional people and we recognize, celebrate and give honor to that lineage.

I knew a dude that was moving weight, and thought everybody in his city loved him. It was a Nigga from his own neighborhood, THAT HE GREW UP WITH!, that killed him. Moral of the story is, not everybody is happy to see you, or happy to see you eat.

Yes, hair does hold negative (and positive) energy. The theory is that your hair is a regular part of your nervous system, which means it passes on messages you get from the outside directly to your brain. This system balances your body’s electromagnetic field. While your first thought may not be that your hair carries negative energy, it is actually a commonly held belief in some communities of thought and is something I think we should all take into consideration in our daily lives.

The release of pent-up frustration that you feel when you wash your hair is not a mere coincidence or simply your body entering a relaxed state.
Perhaps you have had a bad year or a continuous streak of months where things had seemed to fall apart every step of the way. You may have experienced losses, pent up anger, depression, or generalized anxiety.
And then, the moment of epiphany arises when you were finally able to take one clean breath—and the idea of cutting your hair comes to you.

Once you have had your hair cut, you may have almost physically felt the burdens being cut from you, or perhaps even imagined chains breaking.

The separation from your hair may have even have made you gasp especially if your hair had been long and the cut had been a big one. And the feeling remains the same: it was as if all the negativities caging you suddenly disappeared

The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect ball of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, radiating the energy mainly as visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth.

Caterpillar cocoons are a pupal metamorphis stage that butterflies undergo before reaching their adult stage. During this time, they radically transform, evolving from a caterpillar to a butterfly. ... Most moths and butterflies come from pupa that hang from tree branches as silk padding.

Abandonment issues stem from a fear of loneliness, which can be a phobia or a form of anxiety. These issues can affect your relationships and often stem from a childhood loss. Other factors that turn loss into abandonment issues include environmental and medical factors, genetics, and brain chemistry.

Early childhood experiences are the biggest contributor to developing abandonment issues when you become an adult. The traumatic event might include the loss of a parent by divorce or death or not getting enough physical or emotional care as a child. Emotional abandonment occurs when parents:

I’ve been going through an extremely tough time in my life. Trying to figure out what my life is. Who I am. In these next coming episodes I’m going to take a trip down memory lane, and reflect. So just bare with me, as I bare my soul.

Today was a a difficult day for me. I learned a man that saved my life more than once, through his music, has passed away..... today we lost DMX. I tried to give y’all a chronological order of stories but my mind was all over the place. I got emotional thinking about story after story. I barely got through this podcast. People, if you have people in your life dealing with demons, please try your best to try to help them through it. You never know what people are dealing with, or dealt with. Everybody has a story. Love and hug the people that mean the most to you. Appreciate conversations where you can listen and learn...... tomorrow truly isn’t promised.

In this episode I have a conversation with my cousin Laie Holloway. He’s a dope photographer, dope creative mind with some amazing stories to tell. Make sure you follow him on his social media pages to follow up on his new projects @thelhway. More content coming soon!

In this quickcast, I wanted to tell a story about what I seen at Smiths Grocery Store. The scene truly broke my heart. You don’t have to put on a facade to be accepted by people. Always be yourself no matter what........

The title quote comes from the prolific and monumental Chuck D! In this episode we’re going to further discuss the sneaker head business. Me being a sneaker head, I find it very funny and ironic that the Vice President of Nike had a child reselling shoes. Knowing how toxic resellers are to the sneaker head community, we’re going to have that conversation and I’m going to give examples of what I mean. For those of you who are new to the sneaker head culture and this podcast I want to give you a warm welcome! I thank each and everyone of you that has hit play/played this podcast. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Let’s get into it! ONLY ON WAY OF THE FAT DRAGON PODCAST!

Almost 56 years to the Feb. 21, 1965, assassination of Malcolm X, the slain leader’s daughters and a noted civil rights attorney are shining a light on those whom they believe are responsible for the heartless murder. The group gathered on Saturday, Feb. 20, at the old Audubon Ballroom – since renamed The Shabazz Center – with lawyers Ray Hamlin and Paul Napoli and Reggie Wood, whose relative, NYPD Officer Ray Wood, allegedly confessed in a deathbed declaration letter. In this episode we talk about all of that and life and legacy of Malcolm x.

In this episode I discuss the sneaker culture. How it has officially become saturated like the drug game. People buying, reselling, and destroying opportunities for people looking to enjoy shoes. I’m going to come back and do a recap episode once I see the stockx prices. Then we’re gonna have a conversation haha. I talk about my hopes for the Judas and The Black Messiah. And I talk about the unfairness of transgenders competing in Women sports. Song title is “Freedom” from the Panther soundtrack.

I’ve been seeing a lot of hatred toward the movie Judas and The Black Messiah. I just want people to educate themselves on this topic. This is history people refuse to talk about. Atrocities that have happened to Afro American people in this country have been hidden, and ignored. We supported Black Panther and Wakanda, we need to support a real Black Panther who was trying to unite oppressed people. If you feel like this episode isn’t for you, by all means you can skip this one. But if you want to hear a brief history lesson about the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, you should tune in. Pure raw and uncut content on this one. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE

No description needed this episode. Just hit the play button and listen. All my thoughts. All my thoughts.

Quick cast. I lost my motivation to complete this episode. The bitch nigga upstairs ruined this episode. I never met a motherfucker that was so bitch made before in my life.

In this episode I dive into suicide prevention. After recently seeing the Ronnie McNutt story, I wanted to give my take on it. Suicide is not the way to go. If you’re going through something please tell a friend or a family member. If you have no one to talk to, please call the National Suicide Prevention Line. ( 1-800-273-8255) . The world needs you hear and we need your energy. I also discuss what it took for me to write and record my first mixtape DUPLICITY. The darkness had surrounded me to the point where I was feeling that all hope was lost. Until I found my hope in my voice. Hopefully this inspires people to turn that negative energy, into a positive escape. ONE LOVE EVERYBODY.

I remember this day very vividly. And very fondly. I remember exactly where I was at when the twin towers fell. I was in the 5th grade at Lindenwold Middle School, in Lindenwold, New Jersey. That’s a day I will never forget. R.I.P. the ones we lost that day. We honor you!

The NFL is back! But is the country ready for it? I don’t think so...... they booed the Chiefs and Texans. After booth teams showed solidarity and unity for equality in this country. They really showed out and embarrassed themselves last night. The country we are living in, is in a very disgusting place. Something needs to change and be recognized immediately.

We gotta love everybody if we’re going to progress in life. I’m not saying bow down to your oppressors or continue to get your ass whooped. We need to eradicate the evil in this world, which is racism. Destroy white supremacy and it’s mindset in order for us to move forward. We see the ones rocking out with us and moving forward but the ones in the way, y’all gotta move and move quick. In the words of the the great Jackie Moon, “Everybody Love Everybody” .

Tears filled my eyes when my bruddas told me you was gone. And this was the first song I thought of. Kendrick Lamar ft SZA - ALL THE STARS. We went to see Black Panther premier night. I remember I bought the tickets 5 months in advance bugging the shit outta TiTi telling her how great the movie will be and how happy I was they picked you to play TChalla. How happy I was when they gave you your own Black Panther movie. You mesmerized us every since you starred as Jackie Robinson in 42 to your last role in #Da5Bloods. Your energy was magnetic! You made the world believe in a 2 hour time span, we weren’t watching a movie. We were watching historic moments in time. You gave little black boys and girls heroes they can believe in and be proud to wear costumes, shirts and gear. Shit for a whole year and a half, Me and Ti was decked out in Black Panther and Wakanda gear. Now you’re immortalized forever in our hearts. I picked this song to post because I will never forget the cheers, whistles and claps you got at the end of the movie. This was the end of the claymation, and people were crying and cheering all at the same time. That’s how you get remembered. #RIPChadwickBoseman you will forever be a king in our eyes. #WAKANDAFOREVER #CHADWICKBOSEMANFOREVER

It feels like we jumped into a time machine, and got pushed back 100 plus years. Stay focused people. We gotta a bigger monster of deception on our hands. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
