Today’s Workout! 600 reps of sweaty hell..

The workout is the same for everyone, but we’ll split it up differently depending on your fitness level. PLEASE do modifications if you need to, in fact it’s better if you do! Add in the tougher modifications if (and only if)… read more.

Done and done. It took me 22 grueling minutes and I almost puked, but I did it.

I broke it down this way:

25 tuck jumps
25 burpees
25 tricep dips
25 lunges
50 jumping jacks
(x4) 1-2 min. rest in between sets

Unwhitening the Blacks → africaisdonesuffering.com

Unwhitening the blacks

He sat in his 3-piece suit, cursing the gods because the air-conditioner wouldn’t boot.
She looked across the serving area and the smell of the food was sickening,
She thought momoni was disgusting, all she wanted was fries and chicken.

She spanked her son for speaking the local dialect. She’d told him several times that if he mastered the Queen’s language he would become exempt.
It is only in Africa that a man’s IQ is measured by how americanized he sounds; else he’s a john. It is not only on the stage that puppets are controlled, even behind curtains they are still pawns

They named their daughter Lovelace Clarissa Of course! They felt it was way nicer than plain old Akua Boahemaa. A man returns from a year stay in the States, and you have to strain your ears before you hear him say “I never really liked korkor and beans, it makes my tummy act kinda funny” Yet the same man stays in Russia for 3 years and you don’t have to hear him say “I hearrd yourr motherr was siick. I hope now sheez verry good and verry happy”

See we wear black skins, but we’ve painted our souls white, We’re good at a lot but we’re best at following trends, and we don’t realize that we’ve become objects of spite. We’ve created worlds which yields us no true self; we’re living a lie. We’re looking at ourselves through another’s eyes. We’re not Lauryn Hill educated enough to know that our emancipation doesn’t fit into anybody else’s equation. And we’ve been unique, way since creation

It is time we recognize that our being is too original, Our lands too pure,
Our symphony too Hugh Masekela,
Our spirits too Mandela passionate,
Our traditions too monalisa significant;
For us to be carbon copies of another’s culture.

We have to take our lives back and tap into the core.
Learn the ways of the old, you know, way before.
Rock our own made handiworks,
Practice over and over till be better what hardly works.
Grasp our culture as intently as an angry man would a flea,
For it is only then, can we be free.

-Ama Asantewaa

New running buddy

Whiles running in the park this morning, i saw an older man running like a  pro. I very much wanted to talk to him about his workout routine cos he looked really good. Lo and behold, he called me to come run a lap with him. His name is Amir and according to him, he runs 13 miles every single day and has run 8 marathons, 2 including the Boston Marathon. I was in awe. I guess i need to step up my running game and log in more miles since my new running buddy, Amir is a beast! The last thing i need is a 61-year-old making me look weak and old.

“And let us not neglect the question of self-hate. Already, we live in a world dominated by Western ethnocentrism. Wherever we turn, Africans are told that “ours” lacks the luster of “theirs”. The result? We clamour for straighter hair and lighter skin. We quote Shakespeare and Freud, knowing nothing of Ata Aidoo and Gyekye. We clothe ourselves in Dolce and Gucci, paying lip service to Ghanaian fashion once a week, if at all. And as if that wasn’t enough, we feed our natural accents to the trash compactor, retrieve them mangled beyond recognition and actually consider these Frankenstein creations superior? At a certain point, the blanket of self-loathing we’ve wrapped ourselves in stops comforting and begins to suffocate. I’d say we passed that point quite a while ago.” —Eli Tetteh, DUST Magazine (via osibisaba)

WARNING: BRUTAL metabolic meltdown coming through!

This workout will leave you dripping with sweat and you’ll need to dig DEEP to finish all 4 rounds. It’s a SERIOUS challenge: make sure to modify for your level. It’s ALL bodyweight, no equipment required!…
