- custody disagreements - visitation issues - discipline problems
- religious differences - family arguments - discord w/relatives
- partner relationships - stress relief - rites of passage
"In my vast experience I have counseled people with family quarrels, anger, resentment, jealousies, parenting & discipline problems, trust issues, toxic relationships, generational dysfunction, social interaction, drug & mental health issues & community disputes. Everyone in the community has these issues & many could benefit from family/community mediation. These services are open to any who wish to benefit from them. Also, in the Community of the Afrikan Diaspora, because of the damage done to our lost traditional cultures from our MotherLand, Our Community has lost our Rites of Passage into the various accomplishments of traditional life: birthing, naming, coming of age, marital celebrations, spiritual passages, educational & career passages, elderhood. We need these Rites of Passage in order to become whole, healthy Communities again. We can work together to make these passages individual & community events again for this purpose."

just another way the white racist power structure deceives the so-called "american" public - they get one white immigrant, who's been here 10 years under the radar and calling him a criminal the same way they're calling brown skinned immigrants criminals to trick you into believing these people are criminals for doing EXACTLY what white folks ancestors did centuries ago when THEY were illegal immigrants - & violent & armed in order to get away with it! see how many more white people they attack - none - but they've already attacked 1,000's of brown skinned peoples and are planning to attack 1,000's more. and the ice agents doing it are the ones who are armed & violent & breaking their own laws in order to claim these people whose "crime" is not being white & "possibly" born here. ice, homeland, tsa, trump & trumpheads are the real criminals & use twisted laws to commit crimes against innocent people who have the moral & natural right to seek a better life! shame!!!

Hanover Park Police Department As reported by CNN On Thursday in the Chicago suburb of Hanover Park, ICE agents arrested a police officer, accusing him of illegal presence in the United States.

We honor our Ancestors’ sacrifice in living under slavery so we could be where we are today! Each month we will be celebrating one of our distinguished ancestors– to show Honor & Respect & declare Our Pride in Our People & Our Heritage. Without these Ancestors & what they did – we would be in a whole ‘nother place.
This month our focus is on:
August: Marcus Garvey Birthday 17th – Founder of UNIA-ACL, Freedom Fighter, Activist, Afrikan Nationalist, Entrepreneur.
“Let the sky and God be our limit, and Eternity our measurement. There is no height to which we cannot climb by using the active intelligence of our own minds. Mind creates and as much as we desire in nature we can have through the creation of our own minds"
“melanin currently worth over $380 a gram; more than gold that makes Black people black;”
“If death has power, then count on me in death to be the real Marcus Garvey I would like to be. I may come in an earthquake, or cyclone, or plague or pestilence, or as God would have me, then be assured that I shall never desert you and make your enemies triumph over you. Would I not go to hell a million times for you?”
“Who to tell what tomorrow will bring forth? Did they not laugh at Moses, Christ and Mohammed? Was there not a Carthage, Greece and Rome? We see and have changes every day, so pray, work, be steadfast and be not dismayed.”

“If we as a people realized the greatness from which we came we would be less likely to disrespect ourselves.”
The world today is indebted to us for the benefits of civilization. They stole our arts and sciences from Africa. Then why should we be ashamed of ourselves?”
“For five years the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been advocating the cause of Africa for the Africans-that is, that the Negro peoples of the world should concentrate upon the object of building up for themselves a great nation in Africa.”
“It falls to our lot to tear off the shackles that bind Mother Africa. Can you do it?”
“Africans are raising the cry of “AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS”, those at home and those abroad.”
“No one knows when the hour of Africa’s Redemption cometh. It is in the wind. It is coming. One day, like a storm, it will be here.”
“One God, One Aim, One Destiny. (Motto of the UNIA)”
