3 Months IN!!

ABE Movement: Buy. Think. Eat. Liberate.


August 1, 2012, three months ago I began a journey that led me down a road; I didn’t even know where I was going. But I knew I wanted to be there. I knew that if I didn’t start walking I wouldn’t get any place. As a matter of fact I will take it back to October 2011 When I began to get more actively involved in the community and “politics” I remember thinking about this city and how it was run, and me not knowing a DAMN thing. A hunger rose up inside my being.

Working in the community for years and having a passion for children and families, I saw that shit was not right for the majority of Black people. I wanted to do more.

When I began to work the BIDDLE For Milwaukee campaign I had no idea about politics, I just knew that something had to change. I felt the passion and commitment in Mr. Biddle’s voice. I saw that he was not a regular ol “politician” HE was FOR THE PEOPLE. Out spoken not giving a fuck about anything but doing what is right and making REAL change. I supported his efforts hole heartedly. Being IN the HOOD almost daily talking to people one on one about the current conditions was such a life changing experience for me. Even now as I drive around I feel a connection like never before, peoples stories come back it’s like the hood is alive in me, and I in it. Sounds crazy maybe; but I can’t describe it any other way. After that election I KNEW shit was not over. LOL

Leading me up to this exact moment in life; 3 months into a movement to support Black Owned business has been everything it needed to be. J I had no expectations, and I think THAT was the key. Just being involved in this ONE single thing that will be a building block for the future was enough for me. As this process unfolds I have made significant life changes simply by being open to more, being willing to challenge and rethink all I have come to know, not only that but willing to learn more about what I don’t (and I don’t know plenty shit) LOL

We must be willing. GOD gave us a will. He did not create robots; He gave us a free will and a free mind. I feel that my spiritual, mental, and physical beings are and continue to be enlightened. I was willing to step out of my comfort zone; ya know what? It’s not so uncomfortable out here. It’s actually very liberating, rejuvenating, intoxicating, challenging, awaking, amazing….all kind of “ings”!

I am blessed to be surrounded by people who challenge me to grow, encouraging (that could go up in that list too) J me to do more intellectually, spiritually, and physically. (Now if I could get some help with my emotions I would be alright) ;)

I am excited that my 14yr. old son and nephew are quite invested in this movement, hungry for more. All on their own they have chosen to get involved and actually put in work, attending meetings etc. This is their future we are talking about and the future of their seeds. I can only imagine the energy, encouragement and seeds being planted within them. I hope they share and encourage their friends to get involved. I am excited for us to grow together. J

I only want for MY people (yes MY people OUR people, we are a part of each other, WE have to be accountable for each other, the village has rested long enough!!) to be FREE Spiritually, Physically and Mentally. I find it hard to understand when people are reluctant to even find out what we are about. This is real life that we are dealing with we are not playing.

Anyway, like I said I am on a road that is going someplace great. Although I may not make it to the destination I want to pave the way for the next, generation. We as a people have sat for too long, relying on a system that gives no fucks about us. If you think that statement is inaccurate then just look around. I mean really look past your box, into someone else’s. We need to organize as a people. This is the ONLY way to liberation. We need mental, Physical, and spiritual liberation.



ALL BLACK EVERYTHING is unapologetically committed to the reclamation, preservation, protection, and progression of Black culture, Black power, and Black people.

ALL BLACK EVERYTHING is not a fad, it’s a movement. It’s a movement fully committed to restoring the culture of the Black community, empowering its members to recognize their ability to change and self-determine their own destiny, and ultimately liberating ourselves and our children from the abyss of cultural repression and economic oppression. Our programs focus on giving members of the Black community opportunities to engage in being agents of creating their own community change by being critical of where they spend their money, the food they put into their bodies and the knowledge put into their children’s minds. In the spirit of those ancestors who fought relentlessly for us to retain and promote our humanity, we encourage the community to come together and celebrate the beauty and genius of being BLACK.

ALL BLACK EVERYTHING envisions a self-­determining, independent, self-sufficient global Black community.


HOTEP! MVP
