humanizeus

Folks, Fam, Revolutionaries, and Initiates,

For those of us lucky enough to be born into generational wealth, we may never understand the struggle to carve out a small piece for ourselves and our future ancestors. When our resources only allow us to focus on getting by in the now, we have to push ourselves to become more. From spiritual growth, to overcoming fears, parenting, self-parenting, to entrepreneurship; Kiana Sanchez discusses her experiences and wisdom from what we would call an “old soul.’ She used what little she had, coffee beans, to build a fledgling mobile business - Cultura Coffee. Kiana’s determination and imagination took something as simple as a seed of a stone fruit and saw it as a bridge to culture, or Cultura. Cultura Coffee makes traditional Mexican drinks as a bridge to cultura for local Mexicanos who live in a country partitioned from their own, on land that was once theirs, and so close, but so detached from their culture. Sit down, grab a taza, and disfruta a taste of cultura.

Thank you Kiana @_culturacoffee_ for sharing your wisdom from the heart and spirit. Big thanks to Strings @xloomus for this season's HumanizeUs intro song. We wish we could play the whole thing, but it's hellllllla long.  

Thank you to you Revolutionaries for listening. It's been a long season of HumanizeUs episodes, and this is the final one. At the surface, they may not be as intriguing as a hot topic issue, but when we take time to invest in learning about other people, we hope that we all learn fom each others' wisdom and mistakes. Collectively, we are stronger. #HumanizeUs 

Folks Friends Fam Revolutionaries and uninitiated;

It is difficult for folks to sit down and meet or continue to hold relationships with the strangers in our lives. We trespass among so many different individuals in the regular patterns and routines of our lives, it is a shame we have lost the time to hold conversation, much less bonds of humanity. No shame to our grind, but the necessity of capital means the measures of personal investment wither.

We needed to sit down, slow down, and hold space with @stevencorral760. We have held shared ground amongst the truth holders on Artist Alley. Broken bread, whiskey, and wine backyard boogies (thanks again @enmipalma). Then continued to become so inundated with the purposeful mission of community action; we lost the community. It starts with a conversation and this one was well worth making the time.

Learning how to find yourself, and making steps to reinvent or re-invest in yourself. Finding the journey of life through the wisdom of elders, and the purpose of passion. Shaking the less than pretty parts of yourself, and getting to the simplicity of a wok, four wheels, a bit of luck, and a wildly diverse collection of memories will always ensue.

Thank you @stevencorral760 for making sure we didn’t forget where this all started and holding us accountable to have those conversations. @Xloomus every time the strings hit us and make us almost weep. @Asett_Auco thanks you for ensuring the voices can be shared with the Humanity we all deserve.  Folks Friends Fam Revolutionaries and uninitiated you make this a community, without you we’re just voices yelling off a brick wall- or sounding board. Note and be active, Thoughts are Free, Revolution Takes Action; Be Revolutionary. Humanize Us!

Dear Friends, Fam, and Revolutionaries,

Everyone loves the movies, but how many of us take the time to know it as an art form? We had the privilege of speaking with Phoenix Rose @ivoxus of Little Green Bug Animation Studios. From working in prop fabrication to creating their own stop motion shorts, they have the perspective from the other side of the screen. A self-proclaimed "film nerd," their passion for art and movies shines through their being. Catch a glimpse of what heart and soul the people in the industry put into their craft that allows for your Netflix and Chill and 12 season binges.  

Thank you Phoenix, your movie recommendations check out and are way more passionate than Siskel and Ebert (dating ourselves there?)  @Xloomus the Humanize Us song is 5 songs in 1, you are incredible.

Folks Family, Friends, Revolutionaries, and initiates,

It is a difficult thing to be a lost sol wandering the mortal plane in need of a spiritual filling. Finding balance between humility of religious zealotry and the basic tenets of human civility is a lifelong quest, we beseech many different guides to spiritual harmony. Intermingling cognizant self motivation, divine spiritual following, and the intrinsic dynamic vibration, for self fulfillment is often considered a mystical experience. We learned to find it in a place one would least expect.

While going through one of the more difficult times in our life and having little avenues of self-discovery, we were introduced to Yusef. Sufi Muslim, Father, Husband, Professor teaching  young minds. But to us; the first real connection to a spiritual faith. In times of need or just sharing love, we routinely find our strength of heart and mind from heartfelt conversations here. Whether it is to become a better father, work on showing the devotion of a supportive husband, & or learning how to shepherd and enrich communities; We have found a guide, mentor, brother in spirit; and more. If you feel the love take from it. If you hear the heart, hold on to it. If you need someone; these words are for you- too!

The words of a father and the father shared one a day of Fatherly Recognition- bless.

Thank you Yusef for being the strength behind the growing spirit we have found; All praise be to god. Asset for continuing to ensure the mics, minds, and movements of our evolution into a wildly diverse community are shared from soapbox over mountaintop.

It takes a Mother to bless us poor males with children, to be a father; thank you for the most blessed gift we could ever receive from you- aside your heart.

@Xloomus yes the #HumanizeUs jam is the dig. Where’s the cream filling (words)? Thank you Family, Friends, Revolutionaries, and initiates as we continue to grow our community. It is with you in mind that we ensure it is: uplifting, educational, empathetic, and above all Human. It is only with your ears, hearts, and minds we will be able to find a means to Humanize Us all. Blessed note one thing.

Thoughts are Free, Revolution Takes Action;’ Be Revolutionary.

Folks Family Friends, Revolutionaries & you initiates;

During the summer, when students and teachers have freedom from instruction, they enjoy the festive freedoms we all routinely celebrate. Juneteenth exemplifies the dream that is American in the ability for all of us to have and can exuberantly fulfill; the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The shared emancipation from chattel slavery for the country and the people subjegated by it.

This breath of fresh air excites the fingers of freedom before we celebrate a united independence. Large parties, sporting events, fireworks, races, eating competitions, and... and... and... We throw such huge extravagant events, we people that live under the bells of liberty. We cannot be a united free nation without celebrating the wildly diverse sols that make up our jambalaya soup; with cornbread on the side. For Independence Walk we are going to spend time having real Human conversations, to exploit and engage in our love of community.

How do we break beyond the markers, labels, and boxes meant to restrict our humanity; from shining? What is Humanity? What is culture? What does it mean to belong? What are the deeper parts of our person and how did we get here? Are we really as interconnected as the fabled 6 degrees of separation, or is there more?

It starts with a conversation:

Feel free to eavesdrop on our conversation with Ryan & Estrelle. Creators of the family/community based SOCCERSAINTS, two deeply enthralled partners in life's & the journey. Two sols we were blessed to share space and continue to learn and gain insight in life from. https://www.soccersaints.org/ The rest, you'll just have to listen...

Thank you to Couch Potato and Estrelle for the very intimate and human experience, highlighting how truly close all our life stories are. Asett for carving the conversation and making it shine almost like these saints. you family, friends, revolutionaries, and initiates; we are an empty community without the ears,  and mind of a collective heart to build such a strong revolution of love. Continue to share to help the beauty of Humanity grow.

Be revolutionary, thoughts are free; Revolution takes action!

HUMANIZE US!

Dear Friends Family Revolutionaries, and the Uninitiated
It is our privilege to take a dive behind the scenes and speak to one of the individuals affecting real change. PhD candiditate Patrick Milder helps get a better understanding of our interconnectedness to the Tree of Life. Taking a peek at life, from a non-human perspective to  begin to see the beauty of Life. RNA strands floating freely in the deep basins of the sea, explosive geosphere altering volcanoes; the boom of life that always accompanies a mass extinction event, and it occuring all around us. Missing links much? Times flies like a banana, Mojave flies like alcohol. Everything drinks alcohol, and how some animals survive in the "exotic" environments. Inducing epilipectic seizures in fish, to help treat medication resistant Epilepsy. No fish can't feel pain, can; Well we discussed it- consensus ???
Science the truth in our continued errors, and why that; makes science more trustworthy.

Thank you Asett for taking the time to edit the voices and make them shine like ebony.
