Y'all already know I'm a real one, I am posting on Thanksgiving as the sides are currently being fixed. This couch I'm sitting on is soft and surprisingly the Wifi is good, so I'm good. Anyway, My Brothers, I wanted to talk to you about life. Although, today is a holiday, it is also a day of remembrance for our Native American (extended family) who give Us this tradition. So, I want to talk to y'all about the importance of this holiday. This year as you sit back and eat good food, I want you to think about what is it that you truly cherish. And, how you have transformed these past eleven months. Life is so crazy that at the end of the day, just to be breathing is a gift within itself. Therefore, no matter how your life is (good or bad), you have something to be thankful for. The blind man can be happy he has hearing. The poor man can be happy he has sight. And, the Young Brother can be happy he is still alive in a society that says he will not see...

Last week, I show something that depressed me. I say this all the time, but when I see something so tiring I come to the same conclusion. My hope in society is 100% gone. Anyway, forget my rant. Here is the real video that made me feel this way. I will let you watch the video (Courtesy of Complex) before I go into my personal thoughts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEqv7HFL5DI Now, you may say that, how can you lose faith in society when this kid just showed incredible compassion? I am not saying that what the kid did was small, but what I am saying is that this beyond crazy that he had to do this act in the beginning. For those who did not watch the video, I will summarize exactly what happened. At a middle school somewhere in America, a kid was being bullied because his tennis shoes were dirty and not "name-brand." This is sad, but true in many schools in the western word. We have invested in materialism things so much that we now are teaching our ch...

First, before I even start this blog, I want to say that my heart and prayers go out to all the victims of the attacks on Paris. Anytime tradedy happens no matter the age, race, or nationality; it hits home. Because I know what We as a people went through, the pain of being terrorized and having love ones killed is unspeakable. Therefore, #PrayforParis Also, prays go to Africa. The Motherland has been victim to many terrorist attacks lately. Therefore, prays go to all the African nations. The land of all creation as well as origins has been under attack by chaos and faceless forces. Therefore, prays go to our HOME-COUNTRY!!! Again, my thoughts and prayers are with everybody tonight and always. Maybe it is true, the system of  "elites" are evil. However, whoever is behind these attacks, no matter WHO are pure evil. Killing innocent people is wrong PERIOD!!!! Sincerely,  - The Brown Brother Now, let's get into the lesson for ...

" Don't ever play yourself " - DJ Khaled Yo, what's up my brothers, I come to y'all with something very important. This post will probably be like the 3rd or 4th Brown Brother exclusive from the upcoming book. I'm not sure if this is number three or four, however, I will do probably a couple more just because these lessons feel good. Anyway, I come to talk about never playing yourself. As a young brother, you can never be a fool. Never playing yourself is basically never acting foolish, making dumb decisions, and being foolish. See, there will always be chance and opportunities for "Us" to act a fool (just watch Maury or Bill Cunningham Show, however there will be few times were we are intentionally called to be great. Further, when you play yourself, the chances to advance and achieve become much more slimmer than before.  In addition, this goes for many other things. In relationship, you can't never play yourself. In jobs or sch...

As y'all already know every new month, we have the Brown Brother book of the month and other interest stuff. First, the Brown Brother book of the month is So You Call Yourself a Man? - A Daily Devotional for Ordinary Men with Extraordinary Potential -by: T.D Jakes This is a amazing book, one that I had previously read and one that I believe I featured as a alternative some months back. However, I am spotlighting this book as the Book of the Month. Winter is coming up, and with cold weather comes strong temptations. Therefore, this book is here to give you daily devotions and motivation to keep you on the right path. Second, let's get into the Brown Brother's "Word you need to know." This month word is a treat because we will do two words. The first word is Ideology. (2) The word is Conspiracy. plural ide · ol · o · gies a :   a systematic body of concepts especially about human life or culture b :   a manner or the content of thi...
