It is the business sense and the sophistication of young Black athletes and artists I admire who are at the top of their game and those who are growing outside the spotlight of fame, in particular. It is the legacy of those before them. It is not their doing we are proud of, it is the fact that they took advantage of what was laid down for them before them. These young people are the answer to the prayers of their Elders, their Ancestors! They are as responsible as we were to their generations. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [June 05, 2017]

Tommy Hilfiger panties worn by Black British woman, Roxanne.

Wasn't Tommy Hilfiger the designer, who came out complaining that he did not intend for Blacks to wear his creations? Oh, well. Why bring it up? Black folks consistently support white people who decry their existence, and make open their contempt. Blacks buy their products after a short period of outrage! Therein lies a basis for the lack of respect Black Americans receive from other groups.

Fear of Success

Check out this video/interview of then 12 year old Venus Williams, 11 year old Serena Williams and their father Richard Williams. It's pretty cool to see just how many of the Williams family predictions came true over time. Just goes to show you that hard work and dedication do pay off.

Your point Orman Griffith, "It's pretty cool to see just how many of the [Serena and Venus] Williams family predictions came true over time. Just goes to show you that hard work and dedication do pay off. It is not only hard work it is having a vision to work from as the point of origin." I get. I add that all things start from somewhere and from someone a vision finds release in their commitment to birth the vision through labor and sacrifice.

Most people will not reach their vision's end because of poverty and other things, but in the United States where people come to see the realization of their dreams most will not birth their vision because of the misconceptions that formulate life as a citizen. - Gregory E.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings . . .

Serena Williams - Strong is Beautiful 

One thing missing in attempts to develop Black boys into men is the ability to convey the need to translate insignificance into importance and to elevate the idea of self above the scope of a historical allegiance to a slavery past, fear of white people, and the bondage that chases away the freeing concepts of self. I am good at this craft. I was my first student. 

From the age of twelve I assumed that the challenge of walking with Jesus was to do and be better than he, so my focus was on learning that way of being with that intention. It was hard. It was dangerous because I had no peers and it was exciting because I was always protected by the 'unseen' and covered by my parent's understanding. Now, as a man, it feels like a responsibility to teach power to the powerless. And so I do at every opportunity presented to me. Sparing the reader from the 'talk' or the' how' let me share a goal in this work. 

In Washington DC the Willard Hotel is a five-star hotel presidents, heads of states, the powerful of the world, the wealthy and so on have stayed since the early decades of the 19th century. With some young Black hoodlums, smart Black boys and girls I've had the privilege of teaching them how to enter the Willard. How to cause people to look into Black teenager's eyes to see the character of who they are in their best form despite their dress and color is the central theme of the practice of owning the depth of self. When it is accomplished one time each teenager is never the same. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8.7.15

Te voir jouer et gagner nous procure beaucoup de joie de fierte et de bonheur. Toujours dans nos coeurs et esprit toutes les meilleurs chance du monde. Kiss champion."

In English, he wrote of Serena Williams, "You are the most beautiful and the most high, that God protects you, to preserve and give you long life. Seeing you play and win gives us a lot of joy of pride and happiness. Always in our hearts and mind all the best luck in the world. Kiss Champion!"


 

BLACK CHAMPION

Serena Williams relaxing. 

Serena Williams wins her third consecutive U.S. Open championship and 18th major title overall. And like each of her matches at Flushing Meadows the past two weeks, the final wasn't close at all — a 6-3, 6-3 victory over good friend Caroline Wozniacki that lasted only 75 minutes...

Williams equaled Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova with 18 Grand Slam singles titles, the fourth-most in history. Williams also matched Evert's total of six championships at the U.S. Open and became the first woman to win three in a row since Evert's four-title run from 1975-78.

Not only did Williams, ranked and seeded No. 1, win all 14 sets she played in the tournament, she never even dropped more than three games in any of them…Williams earned $4 million, a record in tennis — $3 million for the title, plus a $1 million bonus for having had the best results during the North American summer hard-court circuit...

Williams also has won five titles apiece at Wimbledon and the Australian Open, plus two at the French Open. Only three players have more Slams to their credit: Margaret Court with 24, Steffi Graf with 22, and Helen Wills Moody with 19”. ~ anon

TRANSFORMERS

sacred form in meditation

"Spiritual transformation is not separate from the mental capacity. They are linked, and respond to each other's stimuli. Neither of the two are not not connected to the body. The body's reaction to the transformation food produces is felt within the spirit and understood in the mind. Their relationships are intertwined. One is not better than the other, nor is one distinguishable from the other because they arise from the Center." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 7.30.13

"As a matter of fact it is the older women that are supposed to teach the young women. What is it we would have the older women teach the young ones, especially in relation to dress? And do men have any input in that? Isn't that more the point?" - Alan Springer

small picture of Arab woman

"Men do have the input for the development of our young women. An interesting thing about the Black community is a disturbing trend. It is easier to get whites to work at this level of development in our communities than it is to get Black people working. The more education and money made by Blacks the less involvement in the communities that need 'us'. I see it more and more in every city I visit, and the ones I work in. Even white Americans talk about it. 

Hope is about all many of our young people have in us. Their reality is another story.

How do we fix this? is a personal question asked and answered individually before one enters the public forum for discussion, or the sacred circles to undertake the spiritual responsibility of raising a generation." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 7.30.13

Listen up! The truth is that what you're waiting for is really waiting for you to get yourself together (whatever that looks like). So in essence, when you SHOW UP fully & are aligned with what you already know to do, you will immediately (that's right) immediately begin manifesting in your life what you see in your mind! ‪#‎GirlTalkMoment‬ ‪#‎Shiftshaping‬

SERENA WILLIAMS' musings

 

After winning her opening match of the 2012 tennis season, Serena Williams told reporters she doesn't love the sport in which she excels.



"I don't love tennis today but I'm here," she said after beating Chanelle Scheepers, 6-2, 6-3, in the first round of the Brisbane International. "I can't live without it -- there's a difference between not loving something and not being able to live without it. I have never liked sports and could never understand how I became an athlete."


Serena went on to say that she doesn't like working out or training and that her 2012 schedule will be scaled back in order to provide her rest for big tournaments. The lighter slate also is intended to keep her motivated.

“Would that all of our daughters excel within themselves, and expand beyond the definition of definitions of self and beauty held by others.” Gregory E. Woods

SERENA WILLIAMS’ DARK NAKED BEAUTY

“Serena Williams' dark beauty is a Muse. It lives in the beyond comfortable in settings that feature the best of one's soul. A man can wonder, and dream of possessing her, but the elusive depth of her personal powers, and the feel of impeccable elements within a woman require a great deal of any man confident enough to court her. What are the essential elements of such dark beauty? Where does it come from? Where does it lead itself? How can a man find the center of his being in her presence, or merge with her as she walks on the trail of her divinity? The journey to merge with the sacred will produce something if lust pulls at a man's loins, guides his words. The exploration of being, of one’s self is the beauty in the eye gazing into the eternal questions around beauty. These are my words. I am Gregory E. Woods, Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories.”
