Greetings Baba Ras Marcus:
I&I love reading the I’s words. Give thanx and you are not talking to yourself, at least I can vouche for I-self and have contemplated the I’s words. Did the I know that cocaine’s melanin-binding capacity is between 5 to 43 times higher in black hair than in light blonde hair. Did you know that Melanin does cause other chemicals to bind with it, therefore “predisposing” melanin enriched people to addiction. What are your thoughts on this:

Also, the I came up with a lot of suggestions in your contemplations. I&I am a sistren that if I see a void, I simply seek to fill it. Jah usually guides I steps and I move forward. I lived in the Bronx and saw there were no local African-centered homeschool groups to connect with to give a social arena for my son, so I called up my sistren who homeschools and together with two other sistren, we founded what is today known as the “Uhuru Homeschool Hut”. You command much respect in I&I community, perhaps this forum is a good “spring-board” but to really see action, I would humbly suggest working locally in instituting, say a youth training place and getting ones in the community, like carpenters and such to train the youths. A sistren down here has a similar vision and wants to have available a center to do exactly what you were referring to. The HABESHA chapter in DC is becoming a focus point, that would be an excellent component to bring to that organization.
