For my sisters who are thinking about joining one of the organizations mentioned above, please don't let their foolish actions deter you from becoming part of a life long sister hood organization. For my sisters who recently joined one of these sororities, please don't allow their foolish actions to deter to you from being committed to your organization. There are sisters in your organization who carry themselves in such a respectable manner, who uplifts one another and encourage one another to reach greater heights.  #OurLivesMatter #YourLifeMatter #IamMySistersKeeper #Together #Unity #Icare #SigmaGammaRho #AlphaKappaAlpha  #AKA #DeltaSigmaTheta #DST #ZetaPhiBeta #ZPhiB #SisterHood #SororitySisters #BoyCottSororitySistersVH1

Acknowledgements For "How Success Became My Focus"

First and foremost, I would to thank the Creator for showing me my purpose in life and for allowing it to impact others in a positive way. I give thanks to the creator for providing me with a beautiful family, for placing me in a safe living environment, for allowing me to have my finances in order and for making my success possible.  I would like to thank my mother Louise Davis for raising me into an incredible man. I also would like to thank her for being one of my greatest support systems. Without her and her teachings of life's lessons, I would not have accomplished what I've accomplished this far in life. I would like to thank my grandparents and other family members for believing in me when everyone else was in doubt. Their comfort and encouraging words and support give me confidence and strength to achieve whatever I put my mind to. A special recognition to my grandfathers Alan Williamson and Gerard Davis for showing me where I came from, because that allowed me to see

Dear America, I'm Just A Black Child

Dear America,             I’m just a child. I’m just a back child. I’m just a black child with no identity; I was given a name by my parents that have no meaning.   “I don’t deserve to be shot down”       I’m just a black child living in a community where leadership no longer exists.   My dad abandoned me, ran to the streets, left me for dead, I don't know if he's dead or if he's in custody? “I don’t deserve to be shot down”       My mother left me home starving, chasing after another man whom she thought was a better man than my father. Child support spent upgrading her physical, to be intimate with his mental; he cheated on her, got another woman pregnant and said it was accidental.   “I don’t deserve to be shot down”             He's back at home; he's doing her wrong, as if I'm invisible. He takes her money, beats her up and she's still in love with this criminal. She cooks him food, massages his mind, all I get is the $1 men

Our Children Are In A World Where Our Mothers Spend More Time And Money On Their Physical Then Their Mental. They Spend More Time Searching For Love Then Providing Our Children With The Love They Deserve. We Are In A World Where Our Father's Spend More Time Chasing Fast Money Then Educating Themselves On The Value Of Money. Our Father's Spend More Time In Jail Then Spending Time At Our Dinner Tables. Our Children Need Mom and Dad and They Need Them Now. - Jameel Davis

This Really Brought Tears To My Eyes...I really do make an impact on others. I mentored Ryan in the Cuyahoga County Corrections Center when he was housed in there a few months ago. I educated him on self-development, goals, family, relationships, money and I taught him how transfer positive tendencies into the subconscious mind and to apply it to his physical being. I'm proud of this man for keeping his word and taking the Risk to be different than his peers. Uplifting people by changing their minds and showing them a better way other than jail is my way of giving back. I don't have to cut a check to give back. I sent the elevator back down and he's on his way up. Are you going to ride this elevator? 
Good Morning Friends and Loved ones. A person or may have all the materials and money in the world, but that doesn't mean he/she is happy, or that they know how to love, or even care for you mentally, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Take the time to know yourself and know your worth, dig a lil deeper when you evaluate your ideal candidate for relationship purposes. - Davis, Jameel

I'm thankful of life; a healthy body, mind and spirit. I thank the creator for showing me my purpose in life and for allowing it to impact others in a positive way. I give thanks to the creator for blessing me with a strong support system and a beautiful family. I give thanks to myself for having a passion to love support and protect those whom I come in contact with. I give thanks for the ability to be disciplined, confident, humorous, intelligent and respectful. I give thanks to my higher power for placing me in a positive and safe living environment, for allowing me to have my finances in order, for providing me with an excellent education and good investment vehicles. - Jameel Davis

The Reintroduction Of Me (Part 2)

Image
I like to think of myself as an educator and mental therapist, even though I don't have a degree in those areas. I have impacted the lives of many by educating them on goals, self-discipline, respect, and in countless other areas. I've also made an impact leading by example and keeping my word. I enjoy uplifting people and supporting their desires. I have eliminated hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I have caused others to believe in me, because I believe in them, and in myself. - Jameel Davis

I am not a follower, better yet I am a leader. I am not a protest organizer, although I support positive energy created by others. I'm part of the revolution, but I do not support the destruction of property and the harming of others. I am part of the Cleveland Renaissance Movement; our mission is to Secure and Enforce the Protection of the Human Rights of All People of Color. - Jameel Davis

Message To My Sisters

Sisters, what I need you all to do is UPLIFT OUR BLACK BROTHERS; SPEAK LIFE INTO THEM, ENCOURAGE THEM TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING GREATER THAN THEIR EYES CAN SEE. NO MORE CRITICISM SISTERS. NO MORE DEGRADING OUR BLACK MEN! - Jameel Davis

I CAN BE THE CHANGE

I CAN BE THE CHANGE , because I have the ability to change the minds of most people who have been poisoned by the negative influences of others. With a strong desire to help victims of mental destruction, along with action, determination, and persistence, I can rid their subconscious mind of negative thoughts and replace it with positive thoughts, which will translate into their physical being. Scholar, Writer, Author, Activist Davis, Jameel The Scholars of the I CAN SCHOOLS, that have participated in the (2013-2014) Be the Change Leadership Series, created by Basheer Jones, have inspired me to write my “ I CAN BE THE CHANGE” short essay.

Women love to be dipped. But knowing how to dip a lady and not drop her on her head can be a daunting task for some men. However, with the right moves and appropriate precautions, you’ll leave your dancing partner wanting more. #breakstudios | Handle With Care and Dip Her 👗👠

After looking over my left and right shoulder back to where I have came from, I realized that I was only inches from the ground; standing high as the grass weeds. I was held captive in the darkest light for the longest. Today, I'm standing as high as the tallest tree tops, over seeing my past, present and future. I'm full of desire, faith, & determination, and I was provided with life's blessings from our creator himself. **************************************** Everything is possible through faith in the creator himself.  Thank you Lord for everything you have put me through, I mean everything, for it has shaped me into an incredible  individual. - Jameel Davis | #CleRenMov | #CityHall | @cleveland_renaissance_movement renaissance
