Quote

“Every major religion in the world started in Africa. Why is that you are so naive you let people redress something that you invented, sell it back to you, and enslave you through it? I’m saying that all organized present religions are male chauvinist murder cults and I say, there IS NO EXCEPTION.”

— John Henrik Clarke  

Introduction

Filled with labels from birth, I have been called Indigo, Rainbow, Crystal, Gifted, Aquarian, Genius, Talented, Introverted, Unique, Eccentric, Enigma, Gnostic, Rebellious, and very often, Heretic.

Today, I stand before you in November 2020 to celebrate the Legacy of John Henrik Clarke.

I am personally taking up his challenge and I stand before you RESOLUTE.

There is a Biblical Challenge issued throughout the Bible.

Let he who is without SIN cast the first stone.

Today, I rise above that challenge.

First, why am I casting stones?

So, I will revamp the challenge for a higher purpose.

Let he who is without sin take the first step.

Today, I take this step and I honor John Henrik Clarke and all the Powerful Ancestors who paved the way for me.

I begin this challenge with my DECREE.
