Imagine a forest where the animals gather under the shade of an ancient oak, their voices rising in a cacophony of complaints. Among them is a frog, small and unassuming, who croaks loudly about the lack of order in their watery home.  The Frogs Who Desired a King, these amphibians, tired of their anarchic existence, petition Zeus for a ruler. Amused, Zeus tosses a log into their pond, declaring it their king. At first, the frogs are awestruck, but soon they climb atop the motionless timber, mocking its stillness. Dissatisfied, they demand a livelier monarch. Zeus, now irritated, sends a stork instead—a predator who promptly begins devouring them.  The moral:  as Aesop frames it, be careful what you wish for when disrupting the natural order. But beneath this simple tale lies a deeper question: Were the frogs mad to seek a king, or was their madness a sane response to chaos? This fable introduces us to the paradox of the "sanity of madness"—the idea that what appears irra...

  A Letter to Ibrahim Traore, Assimi Goita, and AbdourahmaneTchiani By Campbell Kitts To Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso, Assimi Goita of Mali, and Abdourahmane Tchiani of the Republic of Niger, In the vast expanse of the African continent, where the sun rises with a promise and sets with a whisper of hope, your names have become synonymous with bravery and resilience. You stand as the vanguard of a new dawn, a beacon of hope for millions who have long been shackled by the chains of subjugation and oppression. Your actions resonate with the echoes of history, and your courage is a testament to the indomitable spirit of Africa. In the words of Rumi, "The wound is the place where the Light enters you." Africa has borne the scars of colonialism, exploitation, and systemic injustice. Yet, from these wounds, a new light has emerged—a light that you have kindled with your unwavering resolve and steadfast leadership. You have dared to challenge the status quo, to confront the forces ...

We know we deserve better and that’s why we strive for better. We don’t always necessarily get to our satisfied place mentally, we fallout, fall back, and give up and embrace mediocrity. Growing up my dad would tell me stories of the first member of our family to make it big. King Kaku Ackah. A nation builder and leader in the 17 and 18 century. He fought long against the Portuguese, Dutch only loosing to the deception of the English. His family scattered and struggled to find the past glory and nation building skills again. When I was in middle class foster care I was surrounded with comfort luxury and a seemingly easy life. Tryouts for the regional juvenile team in serie A at 9 was quite an achievement. My dads incapacity to reconcile with his failure and submission to Christianity made him jealous .The task to be great had stumbled on me and so he did what every narcissist does best: he destroyed everything; himself, me, and his family. What has all this got to do with mediocrity. S...

 I think life is all about doing things in pursuit of something bigger than yourself. Life wouldn't be as extraordinary as it is if you're always thinking about me, me, me. Having your vision set to something larger than yourself is the most fulfilling. It means you're helping others, uplifting those around you, and inspiring others to do the same. That's what matters most. At the end of your life, nobody will remember you for the things you did for yourself. They will remember all you did for others. It's the things that pushed the world forward so all of humanity can benefit. Ego and selfishness get in the way. Fame, money, and power, rather than love, connection, and purpose. Don't fall into the trap. When you're doing something bigger than yourself, your heart is deeply in it. You are so in love with what you're doing, because you know how important it is. It's something that positively impacts those around you and leaves your mark. Life is short...

In 2021 I went to dinner with a mixed couple. We chose a Caribbean restaurant in Brixton, South East London. During one of the conversations I had to describe where we lived. In Gravesend. We described Gravesend as “white trash”. I noticed the expression on their face, it looked like they just swallowed turtle poop or something similar. I have had numerous occasions where I have described something I’ve done or experienced and people have had the turtle poop reaction. But why? I grew up with white Italian middle class foster parents. I went skiing in the winter and beach in the summer. We had a German shepherd as guard dog in a colonial 3 floor house with a basketball court. I’m saying this to make the point, that I’ve seen what middle class looks and feels like. The other side of the coin was that we’d go camping, do charity at the local Catholic Church where my foster parents were personally involved, we recited 50 Ave Maria’s every May for a week, and I remember we housed a family o...

  You’ve never been free, you’ve just been attached to a long leash. Slavery never ended,     it just evolved. In the past they would enslave the body but now the mind has been enslaved. Your mind has been taken from you. You wonder why you’re depressed, you wonder why you’re unmotivated… it’s because deep down you know you’re locked in a cage. Look at the cities you live in compared to the architecture of the past. They even took beauty from you and sold it back to you as luxury. Everything in this world, including food and water has been taken from you and sold back to you. God gave you this earth and there are people who have taken his gift to you and charged you money to access it. What gives them the right to sell you what God gave all of us? You think you live in a democracy but you live in a dictatorship. You drastically underestimate power if you think those in power would give you the opportunity to take from them. Your elections are no more real than the reality...
