The 48 Laws of Black Empowerment 𝌭

The 48 Laws of Black Empowerment - A simplistic yet very effective list of things that the Black Man / Woman must do to be empowered - at least says the author. I like the layout of the journal and the content within includes some very helpful things.

However, it's hard to give a concrete review on something that's spoofed or created after something similar. It's not hard to see that The 48 Laws of Black Empowerment was inspired by The 48 Laws of Power. The 48 LOP also contains a list of different things that people could do to pursue the betterment of their mental health.

I'll give a few key points that I really liked from the book. I only liked these points because it was similar to things I needed help with personally. All I can hope is that other black audience members find value in some of the items on the list;

Number 21 - Create Generational Wealth
Number 23 - Invest In Our Children
Number 27 - Invest In Yourself First
Number 29 - Be more Socially Conscious
Number 31 - Give Back To Our Community.

There are a lot more key items on the list that I agreed with, but what would be the point of me explaining all that in a review? I'll leave it to you guys to read the other items included in the book. Thank you.

Best - Pancho

Reviews by Pancho @ "Precolonial Black Africa" By Cheikh Anta Diop

Precolonial Black Africa 𓁃𓀠𓀢𓀧 This mid to large size book, originally written in French, gives readers a gateway into what Africa was like before the colonization. "Precolonial Black Africa" gives readers a detailed outlook on what life was like amongst the earliest Africans. The book sheds light on what the early Africans did for a living, how they saw each other, how they handled conflicts, how they conquered other lands, how they practiced religion, and a number of other things. Throughout the book, Cheikh Anta Diop divides the text into sections that focus on the different angles of political and social systems. For example, section 2 or II or the book goes into detail on what the socio-political status of Africa was at the time. Sections later on in the text talk about the education levels that was present during precolonial black Africa. The text is well rounded overall and makes the reader(me) feel like they're sitting in an exclusiv...

Reviews by Pancho @ "What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy" By James Paul Gee. Chapter 7

🎮What Video Games Have to 🎲Teach Us About Learning and Literacy📙 In chapter 7, James Paul Gee discusses how online interactions through video games can help create a learning network for video game players. When video game players are able to communicate with each other worldwide, it causes people to learn new things or solve the trivia of a game as a group. The unified network of gamers can allow those who participate to submit their own ideas on the game. Certain abilities and cheat codes to the game can also be developed as people play within the network. One game that Gee uses to prove this principle is World of Warcraft, an online MMO and RPG game. The game has a huge audience with people from all around the world logging in to play daily. The author was able to experience on hand just how far playing within a network can help gamers progress through these types of games. He states “But video game players can be part of a powerful network if they so desire and know-ho...

Reviews by Pancho @ "What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy" By James Paul Gee. Introduction

🎮What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy🎮 The introduction of this book shows readers how author James Paul Gee feels about video games and their ability to challenge the human mind. There are many sources of education out in the world that help people enhance their intellect, but most would never think of video games being in that category. From his own experience, Paul started to really experiment with video games after watching his six-year-old son play one. He states “I decided to play through the game by myself so I could “coach” my child as he played. When I played the game I was quite surprised to find out it was fairly long and pretty challenging, even for an adult.”(pg.6) He couldn’t understand why the younger population would continuously put themselves through that much amount of stress, especially if the games were programmed to be longer and harder to solve. This is how he came to the conclusion that video games aren’t just a waste of time, bu...
