Happy birthday to my day one brother from another @marlonwayans!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 We done came from the mud to roses, always pushing each other towards our greatness. I’m so proud of you for so many reasons, one of the most meaningful being your character. You are truly an honorable person, a kind hearted soul, and a fearless pioneer who walks with humbleness in gratitude to the Most High.

Big salute to @davidetalbert #HBCUNEXT & #USC! As they say “each one teach one,” and it was an honor for me to put another block in the building. To all of the young aspiring artists, remember your next is NOW! 👁️👁️
Working on something special and we are looking for that special talent that needs an opportunity.. are you the one?
We’re cheffing up something real special…🤫Looking for who’s next up to carry the torch of greatness! A word to the wise, bring your A game. Who’s ready to take the world by storm, and make their mark on the big screen?? See you on set…
Take it for what it is. Some people are so steeped in falsehoods that they believe them to be their “truths.” Reality being there’s always an entire group of others who know the REAL happenings. We hold dear to the passage saying “forgive them father, for they know not what they do.” Well, there are also people who know exactly what their wicked intents are, and while they’re also to be forgiven, they’re meant to be dealt with accordingly! The word also says “the rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself will bring shame to his mother.” So, it is incumbent upon those of the light to know when to use the rod and be the reproof… #WarriorTalk🗣️🗣️ #DoTheKnowledge👁️👁️ #TheLightBearers✨✨
Social media has created a false pretense that people need to know your every move, and that’s far from the truth. Besides the obvious dangers associated with constantly posting about yourself, realize the power in living discreetly. Harness the gift of truly being present in each moment of your life instead of walking into those moments with premeditated intents to post about them. Most of what you see on social media are fabricated highlights, not the harsh realities. As I keep saying, everything isn’t for public consumption, so be mindful of your own vanity, and protect your peace. #WordOfTheDay🗣️ #DoTheKnowledge🤔
Nowadays people like to run with this “my truth,” “your truth” narrative. Dead all of that because there’s only THE TRUTH. Be honest with the image in the mirror, and then be responsible towards those around you by holding yourself accountable for your own doings. We over complicate happenings in all types of relationships by avoiding the obvious. When people ground themselves in THE TRUTH, then it’s no longer about who’s right or wrong to win a momentary argument, it becomes more about understanding one’s perspective, which in-turn, opens the door for growth on both sides. Festering in the “blame game” will only stifle your opportunities to learn and take heed to the lessons presented. #DoTheKnowledge👁️👁️ #WarriorTalk🗣️🗣️
Big salute to a man who lived a full life! Thank you to the undeniable trailblazer Clarence Avant!!

Guilt is the consciousness’ way of reminding us that in of itself, life has an innate synchronicity and a pure harmony. When we’re out of sync, it strikes the core like hearing a musical note played out of tune. Regret derives from the egotistical mind realizing it only possesses control over its own actions, not those of others. Making mistakes is simply part of the learning process. Not making the necessary adjustments towards betterment after the fact is what can lead to having regrets. As the saying goes, “when you know better, do better.” In other words, don’t be in bondage to your monolithic ego, instead embrace the multi-dimensional freeness of the spirit! #WarriorTalk🗣️🗣️ #TheLightBearers✨💫✨
God is far from shy! Divine order fills every motion of the enlightened, therefore, universal laws are unequivocal. Live. Thrive. Ascend. Be sure your offerings to this world derive from the best of you because the majestic table of triumph is decorated with the misguided wills of all who doubted The Most Beneficent! Be not a mere speckle of dust lost in the blotted memories of the forlorn, but as grand as you were meant to be like the sun, moon and stars. #WordOfTheDay #WarriorTalk🗣️🗣️ #TheLightBearers✨💫✨
Always appreciate the process! You won’t remain where you currently stand, nor will you forever stay at your destination. Life in of itself is constantly in flux, therefore it’s the journeys taken within every series of moments which offer the greatest rewards. Don’t just show up when the spotlight shines bright, have the mental fortitude to do what needs to be done when no one is watching! 👁️👁️ #WarriorTalk🗣️🗣️ #TheLightBearers💥✨💥 #NubiaTheReckoning🔥🔥
The *SIGNED* copy of Nubia: The Reckoning Book 2 in the Nubia Series, is available now for Pre-Order! Zuberi, Uzochi, and Lencho were among the first of a new generation of Nubians to awaken to extraordinary powers—gifts their parents lost when they fled their island home decades ago. And now that Uzochi has been declared a Nubian catalyst, everyone expects him to lead. But what should be a time of rebirth and celebration is instead one of turmoil. The so-called sky king, Krazen St. John, is bent on harnessing Nubian gifts for himself, and he has assembled a special, superhuman militia to do his bidding, putting a ruthless Lencho in charge. Facing down his cousin feels insurmountable for Uzochi, even with Zuberi at his side, but now there’s more at stake than the hostile government of Tri-State East. Uzochi’s training has led him to discover an ancient, forgotten force hungry for conquest—and it won’t stop until all of Tri-State East . . . and possibly the world . . . is under its control. “An ambitious return to a future of promise, danger, and self-discovery that fans of the first volume will enjoy.” —Kirkus Reviews @clarenceahaynes @omarepps @delacortepress @penguinrandomhouse Link in bio: @sistahscifi. https://sistahscifi.com/products/copy-of-signed-nubia-the-awakening-book-1-nubia-series?_pos=1&_sid=06be019bf&_ss=r Orders including this title will ship between September 27th and October 4th after the September 26th publication date. #NubiaTheReckoning #ForTheCulture #WestAfricanYAFantasy #SistahScifi #OmarEpps #clarencehaynes #omareppsreel #blackfantasy #yareads #yascifi #youngadultscifi #blackyareads
