Reviews by Pancho @ "Black Genius: African American Solutions to African Americans Problems" By Walter Mosley

Black Genius: African American Solutions to African Americans Problems 🧠☻🧠

After reading the cover of this book, I assumed that the text would include a layout of problems that were vigilant in the black community.  I assumed to see ingenious solutions to ingenious problems created by people of their own community. However, what I saw and quickly noticed about the book was that it's a display of black genius' and the work they did to not only distinguish themselves from the world but black people as a whole.  Each chapter covers 2 things- 

1. A mini explanation of the black genius in question along with the work they've contributed to history.

2. A closer look into the Genius and problems they've faced when it came to equality on top of how they handled those problems.

The book displays a collection of over 10 black geniuses and their life stories; which is important to the theme in the text because if anything, the book serves as a guide on what black people should do if they ever want the playing field to be equal.  The term genius is referred to as "one who uses their intellectual ability to reach others and make an impact".  When I was done reading the book, I truly understood what it meant for a black person to be a genius.   I'd recommend that anyone who needs motivation to start something new (regardless of minority) should consider reading this book. The problem that was solved through this text was the motivational aspects of black people.  Due to racism and slavery, a lot of black people today are overtly dependent, racist to themselves and others, and have terrible health habits.  

Taking a glance into the life of a few genius' proves that black people are more than the stereotypical narrative that the world has painted on black people for 400 years.  This one gets a 9/10 from me.  Thank you.

My Personal Experience As a Bud Tender

Working as a Bud Tender in the corporate cannabis industry was a lot different than I thought it would be.  I wanted to break into the industry as a Cannabis Sales Representative and decided that the best way for me to follow that path would be to work at a Medical Dispensary. I thought that it would be a great learning opportunity and a strong base for me to start with. After working at the dispensary for a month I realized just how low leaning  occupations like this could be. It was no different than what you'd find at your typical retail center. Cash registers, useless managers, bogus work schedules that weren't even organized, and even lazier coworkers.  Working for the medical cannabis industry was by far one of the best ideas I've had in a long while. The only problem is working something as low on the food chain as a Budtender. Positions  like that could really discourage those who are seeking to join the industry.  The gig as a clinical account represent...

Reviews by Pancho @ "Stop Being Niggardly" By Karen Hunter

🙉Stop Being Niggardly🙉 In this small-sized book, the author Karen Hunter ties a lot of great points to how the African American community fails themselves through the common things that have been done over centuries. Hunter uses a list of things that were originally written by Nannie Burroughs to compare and contrast just how far black people as a whole have come since the ending of slavery.  During her statements, she holds absolutely nothing back - reflecting not only on her upbringing but the upbringing of other black people through her own eyes.  Hunter shows the audience a true but heartbreaking reality of black communities, their intentions, and their small goals.  Oftentimes, these things that African American communities are so used to are the exact same thing that continues to plague more and more of the generations being brought up. In the middle of the book, a brief historical moment is explained how some of the most notorious black figures harmed their peopl...
