Turtle Island was "christened" America a section of 13 colonies, by a class of immigrants; some 250 years ago. Today, that small 13 colonies has colonized across 50 states and a number of territories, collecting native - indigenous Americans along the way. Today in 2026 we have one of the worlds most diverse populations, Africans, South Americans, Asian American Pacific Islander, and of course Europeans. In those 250 fifty years, there has never been a true inclusion of the different communites and cultures.

America has had many mass exodus of migrants throughouts it's history, due to the inhuman treatment of unAmerican cuz they don't look it. That disdain has permeated legislation and poisoned communites throughout our illustrious history. Native from their homelands -to- their deaths, Blacks from the south to escape their death,... We have forgotten the term immigrant applies to a human being & Immigrants are not criminals!

An immigrant is someone looking to escape the worst of life, terror, trauma, death. They are the embodiement of everything they have left, their language - culture - faith - family they are alone in a completely new world hoping, praying, moving to thrive. Similar to a flower finding it's self in foriegn soil surrounded by trees, plants, and even insects it doesn't recognize. It has no intention of invading, just spreading it's roots, and joining the rest of the diverse colors of the forest of life.

We are all moving through life like those trees in the forest to connect the roots we share, and build a stronger connection with humanity.

Thoughts are Free, Revolution takes Action; Be Revolutionary!

Happily Resolute to Change New Years has come and gone,
resolutions have been readied-set-engaged! Some have been a
small struggle to keep the vision dreamt, of hers an accelerated
form of personal change. We are becomin, better-Better-people.
I've never been a fan of "resolutions", but with the world afire, we could all use some reflection, understanding, and a pathway
to personal harmony. So whether accomplishments, goals,
dreams, or resolutions. Change is a constant, however hard we
willfully ignore it, or overzealously engage with.
But why do we wait for certain dates to execute growth? Why do
we pretend things can change, when ain't nothin' change; ask
Tyrone. Most importantly when do we begin to embrace the
change, and what if we slip up? Free Thought Revolution has the
answers for you, but three words before jumping in: You got this.

Dear Friends, Family, Revolutionaries, and the Uninitiated,

Please listen while we sit with the CEO and Publisher and, Founder and Editor of “Black SD Magazine'' to discuss the Transcendence of Language Beyond the Threshold and Limits of Royalty. With a mission to display Black excellence, luxury, & lifestyle, from the historical reference and anecdotes of what it means to be tied to the title of Monarchy, to the real life attributes of what it means to be royalty, and the active manifestations in how they affect real life. The implicit meaning behind what it means to say, hear, or apply such labels to others; intimately known or not. Why do we fight for a title that subjugates and oppresses those beneath them?

The intention behind placing these titles upon one another is for an investment, a tokenship of seeing and holding up the value in another. Empty titles are as abundant as hollow prayers. Without investing in the interpersonal value and depth of one another these titles are meaningless. Taught values from the heart of mother, in a home that welcomed self; we learn the truth in a mission and purpose in life are core to who we are; and the majesty of life.

We must ensure we are good with the basic philosophies and principles that root us in life. We need to cherish our true vibrating harmony, and express that in our life.

Taking the time to have not just true reflection of self, but also being open to the conflict of others' affairs in life; especially if it means we must evolve beyond the self centered nature of self.

Sold and fed a bill of health that is meant to complete us, instead perverts the righteous aspirations we carry. Moving on from “good” & “bad” and taking the education from lived experiences. Focusing on building tribes and communities, utilizing privilege to help others learn to be unapologetically free.

A walk through the offices of Black SD Magazine celebrating SD Melanin's Black Excellence, We had a dream that we would hold a conversation allowing us and others to learn how to transcend the barriers of titles and language. Taking power in voice and speaking into existence our identity in individual excellence, without bondage of faux labels.
