My Saturday gym time was a must on today, the week had produced a lot of emotions and thoughts, significant therapeutic work had been done. Off to the cardio warm up with the Gym Flow playlist banging as usual , getting the juices flowing preparing for a productive work day. Workout complete, next steps include heading home, shower, and get to work. On the drive home the phone rings and yet another person is needing, for lack of a better word, inspiration. The conversation ended with me saying, “I’m about to send you a song, I was just listening to it to get me through.” I realized that this was about the 6th person, not including myself, needing a something or someone to give a signal that they too can make it, this is going to work out. Hence the song that I sent to the loved one who had called me… Let it all work out by Lil Wayne. It was still playing in my head from the workout playlist and it was definitely timely given the content of the conversation. Making it home and prepping for the work flow, I decided to play the song again, needing a bit more reassurance. The Universe knew what I needed because these songs played in the following order: Lil Wayne, Let it all work out. Kevin Gates, I don’t get tired. Rich Homie Quan, Flex. J. Cole, Middle Child. T.I., Motivation. 2 Chainz, I’m Different. YG. My Ni**a. Young Thug ft. lil Baby, Bad Bad Bad. Migos, T-Shirt. O.T. Genasis, Everybody Mad. After the shower I could barely contain my excitement as I realized that these black men had truly inspired me. I had to pause the music and begin to write, I felt great about having damn near “six jobs” and not getting tired of attending to mental health, I was sincerely Motivated and okay with being Different because I am Bad Bad Bad, got Everybody Mad. I needed to be authentically inspired and re-energized and that’s exactly what happened. I was able to see a full circle of inspiration with fresh eyes, I had a need met to help me continue this good work. I couldn’t let the month end without expressing gratitude for the resilience of the black culture and saying thank you to all of the talented black artist for the inspiration that fuels the resilience. Needless to say, I had a very productive and inspired work flow…
