He Danced on the Edge of Light: A Tribute to Michael Jackson

-
Sixteen years.

It’s been sixteen years since the world lost Michael Jackson—the man who moonwalked across our screens, into our speakers, and straight into the core of our culture. Time has moved on, but the space he left remains untouched. Unmatched.

Michael wasn’t just an entertainer. He was a cosmic event. A rare alignment of genius, pain, perfectionism, and divine purpose. When he moved, we watched. When he sang, we felt. When he broke, we all heard the cracks.

The Legacy of a Revolutionary

From the very first sparkle of "ABC" with the Jackson 5 to the ground-breaking pulse of Thriller, MJ didn’t just ride the wave of pop—he was the wave. He made music visual. He made dance spiritual. He made global unity feel possible through sound.

He taught the world that Black boys could be royalty. That performance could be prophecy. That art could change things.

His influence is in every artist who dares to mix precision with heart, every Super Bowl stage show, every moment someone says, “Let’s make this bigger.”

The Light and the Weight

But light that bright casts long shadows. The media fed on his mystery. Society turned his pain into a punchline. The more he gave, the more we took. He was human, but we treated him like a myth—then punished him for bleeding.

Yet he kept dancing.

He kept singing for the children. Kept donating behind the scenes. Kept telling us to start with the man in the mirror.

A Global Pulse

Across continents, his music still heals. You can walk into a village with no electricity and still find someone who can moonwalk. You can hum a melody—"You Are Not Alone"—and watch eyes water.

He transcended language. He made the world smaller.

What He Meant to Us

For those of us who grew up with him, MJ wasn’t just an icon—he was part of our emotional DNA. We danced with him. We cried with him. We defended him when the world threw stones. And we still hold space for him, sixteen years later.

Because legends don’t die. They echo.

Rest Easy, Michael

You danced on the edge of light. Burned bright. Fell hard. Got back up. Gave more.

You told us to remember the time. To keep the faith. To look at the man in the mirror.

We remember. We still listen.

And we still miss you.

The Real Egyptians: Black Kings, Biblical Ties, and the Whitewashing of Kemet

-

"History is written by the conquerors—but the truth is etched into the bones of the land.” For centuries, the image of ancient Egypt has been hijacked, whitewashed, and distorted. What was once an African powerhouse—a cradle of Black brilliance—has been repackaged as a land of tanned Europeans in linen skirts. But facts don’t care about colonial comfort zones. Egypt, or Kemet, was a Black civilization, and the Bible backs it up. Let’s peel back the lies and reclaim the truth. Kemet: Land of the Black First off, the name "Kemet" literally translates to "Black Land." Scholars argue whether this refers to the rich, dark soil of the Nile Valley or the people themselves—but both make sense, and both are African. Evidence of Black African origins: Egypt is in Africa. Northern Africa, yes—but still Africa. Greek eyewitnesses: Herodotus (5th century BCE) described Egyptians as having “dark skin and woolly hair.” Art and Statues: The earliest depictions of...

Was Yahusha Born in Ethiopia? Uncovering the Truth They Tried to Bury

-

There’s a theory—often whispered, rarely spotlighted—that Yahusha (known to most of the world as Jesus) wasn’t born in Bethlehem of Judea, but in a cave in Ethiopia. Sounds wild, right? But like most things in history, when you start peeling back the layers, you begin to see that what we were taught might just be a carefully curated remix, courtesy of the Roman Empire. Let’s talk about it. The Africa Factor: More Than a Footnote Before anything else, let’s get one thing straight: Ethiopia is one of the oldest, most spiritually rich regions in the world. It wasn’t just a neighbor to ancient Israel—it was part of the conversation. The Bible constantly references Ethiopia (Cush), and we see powerful figures like the Queen of Sheba, Moses’s Ethiopian wife, and the Ethiopian eunuch who converted to the faith in the Book of Acts. Ethiopia also housed one of the earliest Christian communities on earth—long before Rome ever threw a cross on a building. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahe...

To She Who Carries The World

She holds the world in her hands and still manages to lift everyone else around her. This is for the Black woman—the cornerstone, the nurturer, the fighter, the healer. The one who has been overlooked, underestimated, oversexualized, and overworked. The one who has been the backbone of families, movements, nations, and faith, yet rarely receives her due. You are not an accessory to the story. You are the story. Bone of Royal Bone From Eve to Sarah, from Miriam to Ruth, from Queen Nzinga to Harriet Tubman to your grandmother—the Black woman has always been central. Whether she was giving birth to nations or tearing down strongholds, she has carried the sacred with grace. She is more than strength. She is wisdom, softness, creativity, and resilience all braided together. She is made from royal dust, kissed by the sun, and blessed with the ability to birth generations while breaking chains. She is not a trend. She is the blueprint. Strong, But Not Invincible The world loves to...
