Semantics7 discusses the joyfulness and challenges of fatherhood - supported unconditionally by a band of Black women; and reinforced through racial-ethnic identity reconstruction, recovery treatment and therapy, and heightened spiritual awakeness. This episode is dedicated to my three Royal babies: Ayden, Zhenii, and Kamalu - for constant reminders of what matters the most in this busy, chaotic life - joy, love, togetherness, support, and family.

Asé!

Furthermore, he shares - anecdotally, his personal experience as a military Conscientious Objector, dealing with unfair treatment, retaliation, command malpractices, obstruction of rights, and subsequent acute depression prior to discharge. This story contains insightful seeds of revelations, knowledge gained, and life lessons that can be helpful to any everyday Black survivor facing external challenges.

Semantics7 dedicates every 7th episode to an influential, wise, and powerful Black woman who has dedicated special moments to teach and educate him on crucial life lessons based on their perspective, experiential learning, and compassion from the heart. This episode is dedicated to my Cousin, Niecey, a single mother, federal employee, an effervescent person, and a beautiful human being. My Cousin supplied Semantics7 with three core lessons about striving for self-perceived excellence, the power of reflection, and knowing your value and worth.

QOTD:

“Every emotion that is in the human mind is there for a positive reason,

and they must be used for positive reasons, anger is a positive emotion if it used correctly,

so is aggression. God did not put anger and aggression in you just for negative purposes alone.”
