Kelsha Unique,  Hey, what would you tell a young, broke, but educated, Black girl, trying to concour all her frears and doubts, and follow her dreams, after prolonging then for so long. Willing to travel all the way across town, with only about 200$ in her pockets and her Book full of Lyrics, and I amazing idea, no finalized plan because so many different outcomes could happen. What advice would you give. Please 🙂😟 Jameel Davis,  Good Afternoon, I would first tell her that, one of the biggest causes of failure is procrastination and another cause is waiting on the approval of others. When you have your mind set to achieve something, you achieve it without waiting on anything. Success comes to those who aren't afraid of failure and those who aren't afraid to take risk. It's the other side of fear that allows you to attract everything you desire and failure allows you to see what you've done wrong, so that you can correct it and do right the next time. Finally, you have
Addressing Teachers and Staff at Inner City Schools About Creating A Positive and Efficient Learning Environment for Students.  Discuss the stresses students have about their teachers, their environment, and home:  Teachers and everyone else think they know what’s best for us when they don’t, because they never ask us for our input and they are always making decisions for us. Decisions that don’t correspond to our needs. We don’t have a voice.  Our home and environment isn’t appealing and is poor. We attend schools that are poor so why should we be inspired to learn? When we leave out of our homes we are faced with abandoned homes, buildings, violence and lots of trash. When we leave school, we see abandoned homes, buildings, violence and lots of trash. There’s nothing beautiful in our neighborhood. Nothing that inspires us or motivates us. Teachers, what do you see in your neighborhood? What does your home look like? Put yourself in their shoes! Are people plotting to fight you? Are y
Unapologetically Black Queen , the school he attends could be a major factor in his behavior. It may not necessarily be him. Most educational institutions don't meet the need of the students but rather make the students tend to their needs of making their job easier. Which is not right, because the students are the reason they are employed. Just like in business, customers are the reason employees have a job. When we learn, we don't learn what works best for us, but what works best for our teachers. Us males including females aren't going to be receptive to educators who can't resonate with us. Each student have different learning styles and which means there have to be a different approach, especially one that inspires them to behave and learn. No one could force me to be still in a classroom, with an instructor teaching me something I'm not inspired by. #TheMiseducation So I'm going to act out.  Another reason we act out is because boys have a lot of testoster
No one invests into you like you do and no one will get you where you want to be in life except you. So, it's important that you become your biggest fan.  "I don't live my life by likes and follows, they mean nothing. I live being the best me that I can possibly be, so that those that come after me will have that foundation for excellence."  - Jameel Davis 
🚨 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: DISTRIBUTE IMMEDIATELY🚨 So many of us dedicate so much time and effort ensuring our people, especially our children are given the necessary tools needed to progress in life, but we have people who create great platforms for our people and recognize such people on their platform who deliberately live their lives tearing our community and children apart, which defeats the purpose of what we are doing. How can consider yourself a great parent, leader or role model, man and or woman, when you allow people to poison the minds of your little ones and you glorify them? You praise and award them?  You are deliberately collaborating with our oppressors plans of destroying our culture by shining light on those who are encouraging your daughter to grow up to be a sex slave for material possessions that have no value and who are encouraging your son to grow up and violate the rights of other men and their families, just so they can shine with someone else’s prized
At Times When You Know a Woman is Vulnerable, Don't Play on Her Weakness. Instead, Show Empty. Love Her & Guide Her.  Ladies when you begin to feel an emotional disconnection, you have to develop enough self discipline to give you time to heal. At this state you are emotionally needy and your emotions may have taken place of your intelligence. You may be subjected to try anything to numb the pain.  When you are at your lowest, there will be men who will play on your emotions in order to sleep with you, creating more damage than has already been done. They will approach you with sweet talks, ask to take you out for dinner and drinks, and to be invited to your place. When they do, decline. Also, your girlfriends may try to get you to date a guy who they deem is a good fit for you. Decline. Remember, you are trying to heal yourself. You aren't ready to be dating. You want to make yourself available (non sexually) to those who have interest in restoring you to your original s
As we prepare for the Holiday Season, lets also prepare to be generous and empathic towards those who will be experiencing #Depression. Depression and thoughts of #Suicide are high around this time of year.  Our women will become more emotional and vulnerable, due to the absence of a loved one or the absence of a good male mate in the home. Especially closer to the holiday season. They will start to break down when they see full families come together for gatherings. They will turn to social media and television, and instantly develop a sense of jealousy when they see happy couples. They then will become more upset and turn to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain, which could possibly lead to suicide because they aren't able to find someone to love them and their family the way other women and their family are being loved.  Our women, will become emotionally needy, which isn't good because their emotions will take place of their intelligence, allowing a man who's not good for
Just Because The Sun Isn't Out Doesn't Mean You Can't Shine. Come Out of Your Own Cloud and Glow.  - Jameel Davis 
You Can't Expect For Someone To Support You When You've Given Up On You.  When you invest in you, supporters will invest in you. But only when you've proven yourself to be disciplined, dedicated and persistent. Why should anyone invest more effort into you then you invest in yourself? No one wants to waste their time and resources on someone who isn't sure about the direction they are headed in.  You have to continue to work on you and stop crying about people not supporting you. Nobody owes you anything, but you owe yourself everything.  I invest in all areas of me, so that I'm able to achieve whatever I desire in life rather it be with the help of others or carrying my own weight. One thing for sure, I'm not going to sit around and wait for someone to help me live out my destiny, I'm going to get it done myself like I've always have.  - Jameel Davis 🔗 How Success Became My Focus 🔗 Cultivating Minds To Own Thyself
The man has the right to express himself as he see fit. That's what "Cultivating Minds To Own Thyself," is all about. Full self expression.  No one knows what he's experiencing because his experience is only for him to experience. Society have moved away from being empathic and compassionate towards the feelings of others, especially Black Men. One minute they want the Alfa-male, "no emotion just physical and mental strength." The next minute they want men in dresses and gowns."  When the Alfa-man reaches a breaking point due to all the built up pressure against him, they want to deem him as being weak, being a bitch." When in reality the weak man is the man who is afraid to show emotion because of how he think society will react to him. He's controlled by what people think, say and do. He don't own himself, so he's weak.  Again, I say he has the right to express himself freely and it's unrighteous for society to bash his expression

Don't allow some holiday, event or expensive item to spoil your relationship.   One don't have to purchase material things or spend their money frivolously, especially around the holiday season to show that they love you. Love isn't measured by the amount of money they have and spend on you. It's measured by the amount of generosity, compassion, intimacy, time, affection, attention, happiness and effort they invest into you from within them.  Expensive items and places should never be a requirement for someone to prove that they love you, especially when those items and places are temporary and only benefit the elite and not the people.  Allow your partner to buy your love and prove their love with true intimacy, kindness, compassion, and respect. The truth gifts which can't be bought.  - Jameel Davis

DON'T ALLOW SOMEONE WHO HAVEN'T INVESTED INTO THEM  TO DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU'VE WORKED HARD FOR. Many of those who've never had anything don't know what it's like to have something, and often times are careless with your time and the things that you value most.  Don't allow them to manage your money. Don't allow them to manage your time and desires. If so, you may not have nothing in the end.  Don't let them take you to where you started. Stay Elevated!!  - Jameel Davis

IT'S NEVER BEEN ABOUT THE DOLLAR, BUT THE LOVE AND PASSION I HAVE FOR OUR CULTURE. THAT'S WHY I DO IT!  So many work to destroy us, we even work hard to destroy ourselves. I don't want to be apart of that cycle, it don't make me feel good.  What make me feel good is knowing that, every aspect of my life is geared towards benefitting my family, community and culture regardless of how many people try to rip it apart. The money I earn is used for the very purpose of uplifting and inspiring my people, my community and myself. I am "How Success Became My Focus" I am "Cultivating Minds To Own Thyself" - Jameel Davis

Sister, you are #Valuable. You are worth more than any #Jewel  and if you've given yourself to someone who haven't earned you, you've failed your daughter, your family and our culture.  A man whom you find attractive shouldn't enter your most sacred, but precious gift because of his attractiveness. But because he has knowledge of self, his history, his culture, has proven himself to be responsible and capable of leading you, building you, educating you, protecting you, providing for you and serving you.  By the time he gets to you, he should have competed your training academy. You are God, You are the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, the Stars and the Sea . No man deserves all of that who haven't earned it.  - Jameel Davis

You have people out here who are envious of other people's happiness because they can't find happiness within themselves. Many have tried buying luxury items, cosmetics, have sold their soul and have done whatever else to fit in and still can't find happiness.  These people degrade and belittle those who have found happiness and invest a lot of time and energy attempting to destroy their happiness.  As long as these people continue to look down upon others, instead of embracing blessings of others, and being grateful for what they have themselves, they will always be at the bottom of the barrel 🦀.  --  Envious/hateful people; A Negative Attitude Toward Others Will Not Foster Success. Instead of looking down on others, looking to destroy their image, why not ask for help?  You have to stop comparing yourself to others and live for yourself.

Cross Mentorship is Effective, seeing as guys are more interested in what women have to say and girls are more interested in what men have to say.  There are many guys who have a mother but don't have that nurturing support from their mother. There are many girls with a mother but don't have a father figure. Being a mentor doesn't mean you have to be paired up with a youth from the same gender as you.  As a mentor to many protégés of all demographics, the young ladies are most engaged with my discussions and activities. They all love me because I've given them something their mother and their absent father can't.  - Jameel Davis   www.Amazon.com/author/jameeldavis

By dividing 72 by the annual rate of return, investors can get a rough estimate of how many years it will take for the initial investment to duplicate itself.  Formula: "Years to double = 72 / Interest Rate"  • Lets say you invest $100.00 into your savings account at 3% interest, it will take 24 years before you see $200.00  • Lets say you invest that $100.00 into an in

WHY ARE NEW SCHOOL SUPPLIES & UNIFORMS NEEDED FOR A POOR SCHOOL SYSTEM? WHY SHOULD OUR CHILD LOOK GOOD FAILING?  Schools are government funded but our schools have failing grades. Teachers dress up the classrooms out of their own pocket.  Parents spend a ton of money on clothes and supplies, and the completed classwork, quizzes, exams, projects and homework handed out by the teachers still put our children in the bottom percentile.  It's unfair that we punish our children for getting poor grades in a school system that is already failing. Stop the abuse, it's not them, it's the system. Discipline them for behavior but not for grades that have no real use in the real world.  Read Chapter 3: Become Your Own Educational Institution in my new book Cultivating Minds To Own Thyself
Allowing Her To Label You as Her Boyfriend is a Low Vibration. Elevate Your Title! The term "Boy" is used to label grown men, to keep them in a child like mentality.  Slave Owners referred to Grown, Strong, Intelligent Black Men as Boy, to keep black men thinking they are inferior to white men.   Boy is what we refer to our sons as.

Ladies, Be mindful of the Boys who will try to Discredit Your Man so They Can Get You.  Opening your mind to the negative influences of others will prevent you from creating a deeper connection with the one you are with.  Good men don't try to take you from someone you are currently in Love with just so they can have you. That's a selfish and negative tendency. Don't be moved by money, and expensive items. It's a Trap.
You Can't Continue To Seek Dating Advice From Those Who Don't Have A Successful Relationship.  Your Single friends shouldn't be your source for obtaining a successful intimate relationship. Nor those who are buried in an unhealthy relationship.  The best thing is to evaluate your persons of interest based on the qualities and characteristics that are of importance to you, not your friends, not your family, not what you see on television or on social media. But what is important to you.  - Jameel Davis 
The Truth is This. The Only Person That Know You Is You. Everyone Else Knows of You and What You Have Done.  You are the only person that you spend the most time with, who thinks your thoughts as you think them, who feels your feelings and who experience life the way you experience it. Nobody can tell you about the experiences you had and they feelings you've felt.  You are really alone and it's important that you find you, communicate with you, learn you and take care of you. 
The hearts of many men are so cold, but "not all." Those who have cold hearts haven't been taught how to love and receive love by their parents/guardians, also by the women who've made themselves available to them.  Many women expect for those kind of men to behave a certain way when they haven't taught them how to love them. Instead of waiting for him to do something he is never going to do because he haven't been taught, TEACH HIM. All women aren't loved the same.  It's imperative that you teach love instead of bashing the person who don't know how to love. End the cycle of belittling and create a cycle for healing. That's my mission. I don't believe in leaving my people behind, I help where I can. If they don't know I teach.  Healthy Relationships is the key to living a healthy life.

Nothing Good is Going to Happen for You if You Continue to Fight to Bring Others Down and Attempt to Turn Others Against Them.  The problem I have with most people is that they are quick to tear others apart instead of trying to build them up.  When someone hurt your feelings, you don't have to retaliate by airing their faults, personal business and the lies you make about them to the world for attention. Either fix the problem with proper conflict resolution skills, or Ignore them and let it go. All the energy invested in bringing others down could be invested in you, getting you where you want to be in life.  Ladies, when a guy approaches you wrong, instead of degrading, belittling, and bashing him on social media, correct him so that his next approach is successful, rather it's during a conversation or him asking you or another woman out. If you are already involved with someone, teach him how to properly address a woman so that he can properly ask her out.  "Break the
The Majority of the Problem Will Always Be The Government, Police & The Courts, Not The African People.  The same people that make up highly poverty dominated communities are the same people that make up majority of the court and correctional facilities. Which means miseducation and economic castration is the mother and father of violence and crime. The government is in charge of our education and employment.  Laws and policies are harsh in our communities and lenient in other communities not populated by African people. Reason being, to keep the Elite (W. Supremacists) separated from the majority.  Rich folks invest money into laws and policies to keep us inferior and to keep us going into the Injustice system, spending money we don't have, and doing more time for committing the same exact violation as someone who isn't African.  No matter what Courtroom, Juvenile, Jail or Prison Facility, my people make up the majority.  The U.S Constitution was never in favor of the Afri

TIP OF THE DAY: Pay Yourself Before Paying A Bill.  I often ask people what is the first thing they do with their money once they get paid. The most common response is, "I Pay My Bills."  Many of us always put everyone before ourselves which isn't the best thing to do. We are taxed when we earn, meaning taxes are withdrawn from our checks for our hard labor and we are taxed when we spend our money including the bills we pay.  You should work on paying yourself first which gives the power to you and not the bill collectors. Every earning you receive take a portion of it and pay you first (Save/Invest), then pay your bills, purchase your necessities and buy what you want after.  In the case that you can't cover your expenses such as bills, just put what you can on them or find out ways to generate money without touching the money you paid yourself with. That way you don't be flat broke before the next pay period and you will still be in control, not your bill collec
Being in the presence of Bad Company, rather friends, family, music and television, is the reason why you aren't receiving the blessings you truly deserve.

Fellas,  The role we play in our child's/children's life from the beginning to adolescent years, will determine which path they take in life.  It's important that we continue to be leaders in our home and in our community.

IT'S ALRIGHT TO APOLOGIZE FOR LEAVING THE GREEN GRASS FOR TURF. HOPEFULLY YOU LEARNED GRATITUDE AND PATIENCE.  Everything isn't always what it appears to be.

I DIDN'T GET HERE ON LUCK 🍀, I GOT HERE ON PURPOSE... I Don't Gamble! - Jameel Davis
I'm very proud of myself for not stripping my son of his youth, for being his superhero and for allowing him to be himself. I'm even more proud for taking on the role of leadership, raising a young man into a man. It's funny because he is a man, I see more of me in him everyday.  I'm not neglecting him for drugs and alcohol, or for a club or booty call. I don't harm/kill other little children's parents by poisoning their bodies for some fast cash just to provide for him or to look flashy in something that has no real value. I'm not violating the rights of another human-being by robbing or stealing, their hard earned money and valuables.  I'm very respectful and present myself well. My behavior registers into his subconscious mind and translates into his physical being. Your children's growth is the reflection of your behavior and the energy you chooses to emit. It's not about what you say, it's what you do. Body Language is the most important
There's a Huge Gap Between the Day You were Born and the Day you Die. What you choose to fill that gap with is important because it will determine your legacy. Choose to fill it with nothing, people will remember you as nothing.  - Jameel Davis

Ladies, if he don't lay and hold you after y'all finish business, there's a poor connection in his spirit and... It's Time to Give Him a Reality Check.  If his spirit is well and yours is too, He laying with you right after allows you to pour the necessary energy into him to go on and conquer his destiny and to tackle the obstacles that may stand in the way. He being with you right after, allows him to pour the required energy into you so that you can recharge your nurturing control center which allows you to be merciful; forgiving, compassionate, loving and caring. Not to just him, but to others.  - Jameel Davis 
Let me set this straight, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SUPPORT EVERYBODY.  If you try, you will find yourself defeated, financially, physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. You will find yourself disconnected from those whom need you most, your loved ones, because you'd be taking time and resources from them.  Don't allow others to bring you down, take you from you, because they criticize you for not supporting them. Focus on being a crutch for those whom you wish to help and keeping your family and you properly calibrated .  For those of you who are support seekers, those in your following may not be into what you are promoting and that's okay. You can't force someone to like you or your product. Also, refrain from speaking poorly about them. Focus your energy on who your target audience is and work on your pitch. Don't get discouraged because people tell you "no." Keep working toward your goal.  I contacted thousands of individuals and organizations
YOU DON'T RECEIVE CALL BACKS FROM EMPLOYERS BECAUSE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES ARE MESSY.  When employers conduct background checks, they aren't just running civil and criminal checks, they look at employment history as well as how you carry yourself on social media sites. They don't want you misrepresenting their company nor destroying their brand because of your poor online behavior. So they won't waste their time calling you back.  Even if your accounts are private, many companies still have access to your accounts because they pay for the release of your information.  So be mindful of what you post on social media and go back and clean up the stuff that misrepresents you.  - Jameel Davis
YOU REQUIRE OTHERS TO BE UPFRONT WITH YOU BUT WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR YOU ARE NO WHERE TO BE FOUND.  - Jameel Davis
THE MOMENT I STOPPED COMPLAINING AND BEGAN EXPRESSING GRATITUDE WAS THE MOMENT MY DESIRES CAME IN ABUNDANCE.  - Jameel Davis
A SEXY APPEARANCE MEANS NOTHING IF YOUR SPIRIT IS UGLY. YOU HAVE  NO REAL VALUE. - Jameel Davis
Don't Allow The Emotions of Others To Keep You Stranded, Go and Get Yours. 
Often Times We Tend to Give Credit to Other Sources for Our Achievements without Thanking Ourselves. You Carried It Out, Credit Yourself. 
THERE ARE THOSE WHO WILL ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE YOUR CHARACTER BECAUSE YOUR BELIEFS ARE OPPOSITE OF THEIRS. In my opinion, these people are acknowledging the wrong power and have been miseducated. There's only two powers, Good and Evil. They are on the evil side. They have a satanic connection just as their spiritual leader.  Most of us know that what works for most of us, don't work for all of us. If, so everyone would look and live just alike. Also,degrading a persons character based off the life they choose to live isn't righteous at all.  Dare to be to different. Dare to acknowledge and accept other people's differences.  Assassinate your own character, not anyone else's. - Jameel Davis
I asked, "What Would Happen if I Didn't Pray?" I was told that if I didn't, I wouldn't succeed. That was a Lie.  I then asked, "What Would Happen if I Didn't Believe?" I was told that if I didn't, I meant nothing and wouldn't be saved. That was a Lie.  The truth was, if I wasn't grateful of all that was provided to me, both good and bad, and of the creators creations, I wouldn't succeed, and if I didn't believe in me I wouldn't mean anything and wouldn't be able to save myself. Given the path I was provided earlier in life.  At age 27, I've achieved everything that I have set forth to achieve without prayer and without violating the rights of another human being. I achieved my desires by expressing my gratitude daily for everything/one I encounter and by being respectful and treating others fairly. I inspire and add value to thousands of people daily as my way of giving back. I don't judge, I don't criticize, I
I personally believe when you ask your higher power for something, you are really speaking to the spirit within yourself because it is you who decides rather or not to put in the effort to achieve what it is you are asking for. No one gets you off the couch but you.  Studying the Law of Attraction; you attract what you fear and you attract what you desire based upon the energy you choose to emit.  Positive Affirmations + Action = Results Negative Thoughts, leads to negative actions and negative actions lead to severe consequences.  Fear and God don't occupy the space space. Its like two magnets that you are trying to put together, it won't happen. So either you choose one or the other, FEAR OR FAITH.  If you have fear within you, I believe you are honoring the wrong God/Higher Power. So given that perspective, I choose to live without fear and part of that reason is because I speak to the power within me.  - Jameel Davis 
JUST BECAUSE YOUR FRIENDS OR RELATIVES DON'T LIKE WHO YOU ARE INVOLVED WITH DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO DISMISS THAT PERSON.   Often times, we allow others to negatively influence our relationships, by opening our minds to the negative things they have to say about the person we are involved with. Those people are quick to list all the negative qualities your person of interest possess. They never point out good qualities in that person, they are quick to dismiss that person because of their negative qualities, and nor do they offer to help that person become better.  Certain people may attempt to drive you away from your person of interest because their subconscious mind is filled with negative influences such as hatred, selfishness, jealousy and enviousness. They could be envious of your smile or just plain heartless because they are trapped in an uncomfortable position.  You should be with someone because that's what you want, not to satisfy the desires and appetite of anyo
Little Brothers and Sisters, Don't be upset because you didn't receive a certificate of merit or honor, success is what you say it is, not what anyone else say it is. It's not definitely not limited to what grades your receive in school. You can print off your own certificates or buy them at Dollar Tree.  C - Average students are in fact my favorite people and in fact they are the most accomplished people in the world because they don't just focus on academics, information geared toward making their employers dreams come true, but on information to make their own dreams come true.  A 4.0 g.p.a means nothing if your education isn't equivalent to the other surrounding school districts. A 4.0 at Berea High School isn't the same as a 4.0 at East Tech High School. There's a huge gap.   - I recall graduating from South High School, being the only recipient of an Honors Diploma and I wasn't fortunate to receive a full ride scholarship to college. After graduati
Many people have congratulated me on publishing another book. My work isn't published for me to receive recognition but for you to recognize your true self, receive yourself, own yourself and to elevate yourself. Be proud of you for taking the next step of owning yourself, by purchasing your copy.  The only recognition I need from you is you telling me "thank you" for inspiring you to reach your full potential and to make a difference in the lives of others. I've already paid myself.  That is what #ElevatedWaves and ElevatedWaves Publishing is all about, adding value to others unconditionally.  - Jameel Davis #CultivatingMinds 💡
IF YOU ALLOW SOMEONE TO SAY NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE TO YOU, YOU DESERVE WHAT'S COMING TO YOU TOO.  "The most common weakness of all human beings is leaving their minds open to the negative influences of other people" - Napoleon Hill  Instead of listening to the crap, encourage them to help make that other person better. If they decide not to Better the situation, dismiss yourself from them. Don't sit there and allow them to dance on your subconscious mind, free yourself.  -1 + -1 = -2  - Jameel Davis
AFTER PROM, THEN WHAT? AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, THEN WHAT? AFTER SECURING THAT JOB, THEN WHAT? AFTER COLLEGE, THEN WHAT?  AFTER HAVING CHILDREN, THEN WHAT? AFTER FINANCING A CAR/HOUSE, THEN WHAT? AFTER GETTING MARRIED, THEN WHAT? AFTER ACHIEVING THOSE GOALS, THEN WHAT? Success has no end point, the sky is not the limit, there's no ceiling. The moon has been walked on. - Jameel Davis 
I Don't Struggle With Bills Because I Live Within My Means. - I'm happy that I have running water, so I'm grateful when the water bill comes. - I'm happy to have lights, so I'm grateful when the light bill comes. - I'm happy to have heat, so I'm grateful when the gas bill comes. - I'm happy to have vehicle insurance, so I'm grateful when the insurance bill comes.  - I'm happy to have life insurance, so I'm grateful when the life insurance bill comes.  As happy as you get when you purchase something you really want, you should be just as happy when you pay for something you need. Instead of complaining about bills, why don't you cut them all and allow other people to use those resources. I'm sure they would be grateful.  - Jameel 
It's Not That You Can't Find A Good Person, You Don't Know How To Keep Them Once They Are In Your Possession. Often times we drive our person of interest away by trying to love them the way other people love their partner, which is not how they wish to be loved. - "Find out how they wish to be loved and love them that way." Often times we drive them away by being controlling, treating them as if they are our children, instead of as their loving partner, which often times ruin the good within them. - "No one wishes to be controlled, but desires to be free to love and to be loved in return.  Often times we allow our friends and families in on our issues, causing us to no longer be our partner's trustful companion, which causes them to no longer share information with us, no longer be around our friends and loved ones, which eventually drives them away. Anger and frustration usually builds up and they no longer have the desire to share their true emotions an
DON'T FAULT THE BLACK WOMAN FOR NOT BEING IN HER PRIME BECAUSE SHE'S IN A UNFIT ENVIRONMENT. CHANGE HER ENVIRONMENT AND WATCH HER FLOURISH.  As long as she's in that unfit, limited environment, her mind will only go as far as that environment will allow her. Change her environment to a more efficient one, watch her mind produce phenomenal results.  - Jameel Davis 
Don't Beat Yourself 4 Getting A Poor Grade In English, It's Not Our Original Language. The use of Emojis is How We ONCE Communicated.  They brought it back and instilled them in our smartphones. We can thank them for that.  But now they are upset because we use them to communicate again and many times they can't understand it. They try to bash our language of Slang because we create better ways to communicate, instead of properly using their language. Our Slang is used for code words, which many have trouble understanding. Be proud that we are still able to create our own form of communication. Don't kill Yourself over the misuse of the English Language. Its ok, if you mess it up, I understand what you meant.

I remember studying Human Evolution at Kent State University and my Caucasian professor was all for Darwin's Theory of Evolution and I was against it.  So since I was against it and my arguments and research papers were valid and cited properly, I barely passed. lol 😂  To my people studying certain information behind people with accredited titles, just because they have that title doesn't mean the information they present is accurate. You know damn well we didn't come from Monkeys 🐒 . Don't be afraid to challenge those who take on the role of education. You have history teachers teaching us that our history started from slavery, when you know that is false.  - Jameel Davis #ElevatedWaves 📈 #CultivatingMinds 💡

I Need Your Help... I think I'm on to something! So Parthenogenesis is the reproduction from an ovum without fertilization (giving birth without the help of men, from which only black women were able to do during earlier times?  Is this why they incorporated the Easter Egg and Easter Bunny to hide the fact that our Black Queens (Gods) had this power and so we couldn't acknowledge it and can acknowledge something other than the fact that the Black Women is God?  And is this why white supremacist (Caucasians, Caucasus meaning dead carcass) try so hard to destroy black women, turning black men against them?  And since Parthenogenesis had expired, men were created to carry the sperm to assist our Black Queens with birthing children?  Also, when Muslims use the term Rahmaan, or Raheem, to reference their "merciful" God, are they really referring to a Black Woman? because Rahmaan and Raheem comes from the word Raham which means uterus or womb, and only the black woman was a

STOP CRITICIZING MY PEOPLE FOR SHOWING THEIR BARE BODY, WHEN WHEN WE MIGRATED FROM A VERY WARM CLIMATE, WHERE CLOTHING WAS MINIMUM. Clothes are gatekeepers for bacteria and diseases.  All parts of our body need exposure to sunlight.

Most people have only two weeks of training spread out on a twenty-year basis, doing the same routine daily. They don't have twenty-years of Experience in the field.  Most people become obsolete after being away from particular tasks for a long period of time.  My first position ever was a barista. Put me in front of an expresso machine today and I wouldn't know how to work it. But if I was re-trained I would be able to use it effectively. Employers should focus on those who have the ability to adapt to change, as well as those who have the ability to learn quickly. Not zero in on experiences that are no longer attractable and effective in this current year.  - Jameel Davis 

IF ALL THE ANSWERS WERE IN ONE BOOK

If all the answers were in one book, there wouldn't be a library filled with the works of Authors, there wouldn't be more than one bible, or if all the answers were in one person, there wouldn't be over 4200 religions in the world. Like, the bible says "No Sex Before Marriage" and don't commit adultery," but it tells that some men had several wives. But today it's considered to be wrong for them to have more than one. Tables have turned pointing the finger at man for what was his right some odd something years ago.  During the nineteenth Dynasty in Egypt, a Queen by the name of "Nefertari" was in power with "Ramesses the Great."  She was one of many wives, but continued to remain one of his favorites.  Today, some consider their Pastors, Reverends, and Fathers as being Kings of the Village, and I bet my last dollar, many of them aren't just conducting bible studies on Wednesdays, are not actually "getting over the hump&quo

INSPIRATION BEHIND NEW BOOK

Inspiration Behind Cultivating Minds To Own Thyself:  Warren Bennis stated in his book, "On "Becoming A Leader, "the key to full self-expression is understanding one’s self and the world, and the key to understanding is learning from one’s own life and experience."  From that moment on, Cultivating Minds To Own Thyself was born.  I wanted to share knowledge of how to find yourself, direct and indirect experiences within the world that prevents us from reaching our full potential, with the hopes of those experiences allowing my readers to understand and to take ownership of self.  - Cleveland Author Jameel Davis #ElevatedWaves 📈 #CultivatingMinds 💡

I discovered a butterfly in Alaska.   This butterfly   is now an arctic butterfly that can be found on mountaintops, on the horizon   and everywhere in between.   She is free. Watch her fly, watch her rise, watch her soar across the sea, with the breeze   through the trees.   Arctic  ️ chills, with passionate touches of two soft pieces of tissue. That chill to the bone feel.   Captivated by her inner flame and her bright comforting wings. Those which she uses to glide freely over the Bering Strait waves  , keeping my spirit at ease. Please don't touch her wings. She is free. I belong in them and they belong around me.   Fly Butterfly Fly.   Be all that you can be. When it's time to rest here I am, where you can be warm, safe and at peace.  
WHEN I FOUND HER I WASN'T LOOKING FOR A COMPLETED PUZZLE.   BUT AN INCOMPLETE ONE WITH A MILLION PIECES.   ONE THAT I CAN CONSTRUCT MYSELF. ONE THAT I CAN CALL MY OWN.  
Your Perception of Her Won't Make Me Change The Way I Value Her.  As She Is For Me and Not You.
IF THEY ARE BLINDING YOU WITH YOUR PAST,  STEP TO THE SIDE AND ALLOW SOMEONE ELSE  TO HELP YOU SEE AHEAD.  
It's not an issue to want others to see the good in us.  But it is an issue if we allow others to determine our value.

You should challenge your persons of interest before making them comfortable in your life.   You should challenge them to see how well they conduct themselves when they are not in your presence, as well as, how well they handle certain situations that test their loyalty, trust and commitment.   Reason being, your persons of interest not only represent themselves, but you, your family, your organizations and so forth. No need to bring along individuals who do not represent you, your family and your business well. "I've tested many persons of interest and they have all failed based on how they conduct themselves when they are not in my presence, on social media, etc. They have misrepresented me, my family, my organizations, my colleagues and so forth. Evaluate Your Persons of Interest Effectively; can they seal the deal for you? Are they really committed and trustworthy?
