The infinite intelligence of my subconscious brings all I want to pass in divine order. I accept my reality and refuse to resist it. I prosper because I am joyous and affirm this reality mentally and emotionally. God's river of peace governs my mind and activates my body. Divine right action, success, wealth and happiness flow because I understand the laws of the universe and my small part in it. Divine power flows through my thoughts, words, deeds and feelings. I inspire others to experience the riches of life, their minds and mine. I am prosperous in this business of life. Look how abundance overflows! There is so much joy in the hearts of my family. This fabric we wear is not material at all and it knits us together so so wonderfully -this fabric of love, which is an endless and FREE flowing energy from God, directly into our hearts.

He asked about the bounty on my headI told him I'm the criminal from IsraelThat I bought into the triangles and the billsHe said you're lost my child but I love you stillThough there's a mountain in your bedThere's also a crown on your headI said great but why so much pain?He said watch yourself and from doubt refrainSo down went another glass.Like a bitter gulp from the pastLike a swollen wound with pussI could burst from self-questioningBut instead I'll take another glassGod forgive me as I pass outForgive all the ways in which I doubtI know you love and believe in usSo please don't leave me drunkI'll be back in a second empty as a tankThough I suppose I already am. Poem You don't know why you look for crumbsWhy you pick so often at your scabsWhy you think the feast others eatIs not part of your own feast.Why do you doubt the windWhen it tries to push your wings?You don't know why you can't just loveWithout feeling an emotional flood.All the colors you've ever knowAre fading away so subliminallyAnd you don't know what you did wrongTo go from fertile to barren land so quickly.You and the hill you're ever climbingYou and the prayer in your chest bubblingYou don't know why you keep on waitingTo survive a tragedy that's not happening.Oversized clothes make you feel secureIs that why you want your parachuteTo land in the middle of nowhere?Hope in you is pale and without flowers(Heaven is a place you desire to believe)Heaven is real but you're not a followerEvery day you feel lower and lower.Your heart's not fresh from healingJust stabbing and repeatingYou want this poem to reach its endingYou need this poem to do some mendingBlurry you, reading Virginia WolfSoft light from outside loving youYou feel as deeply as the oceanYet you are no boatYou cry more furiously than the rainBut you are not the storm

From the bustling markets of Zanzibar to the desolate plains of Kenya, Tusoli's journey takes her through a kaleidoscope of cultures, traditions, and landscapes. She meets people from all walks of life - from Masai warriors to coastal fishermen - and each encounter deepens her understanding of her own history and heritage.Africatown, Alabama, also known as Plateau, is a historic neighborhood located in Mobile County, Alabama, USA. The community was founded by a group of 110 enslaved Africans who were captured and brought to the United States on the last known slave ship, named 'The Clotilda', in 1860. After the Civil War and emancipation, the freed slaves were technically free but unable to come back to Africa and instead formed a distinct identity and culture, maintaining their African traditions and creating their own social institutions. They created their own Africa right in the United States and named it Africatown where descendants of 'The Clotilda' live to date.The pilgrimage to Africa for the descendants of 'The Clotilda' and Africatown and other Black Americans is not merely a physical undertaking but a spiritual one as well. It presents an opportunity for them to pay homage to their ancestors, gain knowledge of their history and culture, and create connections with the thriving communities in the lands where their forefathers were abducted from.Torn between the love she has for her fiancé, Jonathan, who just proposed to her, and a deep-seated desire to uncover her roots, Tusoli embarks on a journey of discovery.

As she probed into the history of her forefathers, Tusoli encountered a world that was both haunting and beautiful, where the past collided with the present, and the lasting impact of slavery reverberated in every corner.Embark on an extraordinary expedition of personal growth and reconciliation with Tusoli - an expedition that will take you from one end of Africa to the other, and indelibly transform you.

Music is a therapy that lulls and comforts the human soul. With its growing audience in a highly dynamic world, there's a bulging desire to not only listen but also imbibe its philosophy through diverse literature. Benga Maestro is one such classic-a thrilling thread that avails music to your bookshelves. This rare text, explicates and contextualizes the world in which Dr. Osito Kalle performs. It chronicles the journey of Benga from its initial sprout around Nam Lolwe to the modern Social Media era, touching albeit passingly, on the other giants of the genre like D.O Misiani, Collela Mazee, George Ramogi, Ouma Omore, Ochieng' Nelly, and Okatch Biggy, amongst many others. This story is told through the lenses of Dr. Osito Kalle, the string doctor, Dokta Waya, and lyrical cricket who plucks and chirps out wisdom, traditional aphorism, humour, and consolation, to 'edutain' his audience. A viable offspring of the Victoria Jazz family, stemming from his mentor's Awino Lawi-led Victoria C, the Mabinju songbird has grown into a gallant ballad of his current Nabii Kings Band. Thus, Benga Maestro, narrates his Benga odysseys and magnanimously shares his foresight for music, its makers, and its consumers. It is a pleasurable exploration of both the kingly Kalle, and the benign world of Benga. #OKOTH OPIYO
