Summary
Redemption: thanks be to God, it's a possibility. I mean, if we're stuck being the people we once were...if we're stuck with the reputations we foolishly established, who of us could be good? Right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt-ZCgK8X9M But, the reality of redemption isn't license for foolishness. Redemption isn't some sort of magic potion, given to those who learn to say "Jesus." It's a journey that we must walk. Like a new instrument - or maybe a set of turntables (or whatever folk are "DJing" on now), redemption is a gift. But that gift will do you no good unless you learn how to use it. Like any amazing gift, #redemption is useless if you don't learn how to use it. How do you?Tweet This So what is the road to redemption and what does it mean to walk it? And once you walk it for yourself - how do you pay that forward? This is the focus of my conversation with Reggie Kee. Reggie was my ADP: responsible for (ehem) "instilling" in me a love for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Most people who know us both and know our experience would never believe that he and I got together for this conversation. That story alone is a prime example of walking the road to redemption...but, we'll tell you more about that on the show. Reggie shares his lessons with his family, and they embrace the power of the word with deep purpose. You can read more about that story in the Chicago Tribune. Both he and his 9 year old son, Josiah, are published authors. And that's another important piece of the discussion that you don't want to miss...it'll change the way you consider influencing the next generation. Ultimately, I want to know how you are traveling the road to redemption. What are your triumphs along the way? What are your struggles on this journey? I know that is personal. And that's why I invite you to apply for membership in our safe space for Black empowerment.

Blacks with Power| Make America Great through Black Power
Release Date: 08/12/2020
Authors: Fr. Jabriel Ballentine
Description: Rampant racial disparities in every facet of American Society, police brutality that goes unpunished and other examples show us that current Black Leadership and the Black Establishment has failed the Black community. The direction they've provided have led us into a false peace...a false sense of having overcome racism while we still live under racially based turmoil and terror. We need a better way forward because as Jay-Z said: “This can’t be life.” It’s time to realize that Black Power is the key to Make America Great. This show exists to empower new leadership that can reunite the Talented Tenth with the Ninetieth. We need a strategy that combines the wisdom of W.E.B. DuBois & Marcus Garvey…of Malcolm X & Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in order to protect the legacy of the Black Experience in America and advance the Cause of Freedom that began with overcoming Slavery and Jim Crow Segregation through the Civil Rights Movement.
