[00:00:00] Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this edition of the Liquor Talk Podcast, which starts right now. I hope you guys got your drinks poured up for this another edition of the Liquor Talk Podcast, where we are on the journey to 400 episodes, and we are in the homestretch, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:00:15] Thank you to our friends at Podmatch for providing us this guest. This beautiful black queen is coming to us from a country I did not expect that she was going to be coming from. She is coming to us from Mexico, so this is the second international episode of Liquor Talk. So hey, y'all getting the tequila ready for this episode. We got Queen Michelle joining us, having a drink with us today. Queen Michelle, thank you for joining us, and how you doing today? I am wonderful. How you doing? How you doing?

[00:00:44] I'm blessed. I'm feeling good, feeling great. Blessed, and I'm favored, and empowered to prosper, right? All of that. You know it. Okay. So tell me this. I got to open with this. Why did you move to Mexico? Because black people in Mexico, I know we traveled to Mexico. I hear us going to cruises to Cozumel and to different parts of Mexico. So what made you decide, I want to actually move to Mexico, leave the United States and come to Mexico?

[00:01:15] Man, listen, there is a lot more people, black people, living abroad now. Here we are 2026 than it was when I moved to Mexico in 2017.

[00:01:34] Hey, y'all. My name is Queen D. Michelle. I'm so glad you asked me on your show. I have three nuggets that I would like to drop on your audience that will... I just want them to gnaw on it for the week, you know, for the rest of the week, gnaw on these. But before I do that, I want to qualify myself, right? I mean, who am I to say these things, okay?

[00:01:59] So my name is Queen D. Michelle, and I'm a retired teacher of 27 years. I've taught across the country during my career, certified in Michigan, certified in Nevada, certified in Georgia, retired in 2015.

[00:02:21] I'm a light worker, a way shower, a frequency code holder, a New Earth representative, an author, a blogger, a sage, and a creator. So with that, I got 63 years to pour in to these three nuggets that I'm about to drop, okay? And the first one... Oh, I got to tell you this too.

[00:02:47] I'm a citizen of the U.S., a permanent resident of Mexico. And in 2028, I'm going back to Guinea-Bissau, the country of Guinea-Bissau, West Africa, to receive my citizenship there, as it's been proven through African ancestry DNA testing.

[00:03:13] Maternally speaking, that my original bloodline, maternally, originated in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa. And I am from the Fula tribe of Guinea-Bissau, West Africa. So I'm going to go back there and receive my citizenship because come to find out that there are several countries who are participating in something called repatriation,

[00:03:38] which means if you can prove through DNA testing that your bloodline originated there, you can apply for citizenship. And there are several countries doing that. So now with those qualifications, how did I wind up in Mexico? All right, that has to do with my first nugget. So take a listen to this. Just gnaw on this.

[00:04:02] The matrix cares not about the quality of your life and your purpose here, but only of the quantity of your life and how much you can give over to the system. You owe no one or no thing your life. Let that settle for a minute. That's how I got to Mexico.

[00:04:25] I retired in 2015 and took a look at my pension and realized I was going to have to continue working to supplement the pension, which I did for about a year. I mean, I was an Uber driver, Lyft driver. I did some online remote work. And, oh, one of my coolest jobs was a shuttle driver for a transportation company that serviced the railroad.

[00:04:49] So I was taking engineers and conductors to and from their trains in Atlanta. So that was pretty cool. But after a year, I was like, hey, wait a minute. I'm going to always have to do this. I'm going to always have to work to supplement my pension. I didn't want to be 70 years old saying, welcome to Walmart, you know? And with that epiphany, and the universe is perfect, I started looking at the top 10 places to retire.

[00:05:19] Now, this is in 2016. Okay. And back then, the places were Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Nicaragua, I believe. I can't remember the other ones. Colombia, Thailand. But Mexico checked all the boxes. And this is why I was living in Mexico. I mean, I was living in Atlanta.

[00:05:48] And the trip into the state of Jalisco, because that's where I moved, to Jalisco, sounds like an H, but it's spelled with a J, you know, Spanish thing. Flew into Guadalajara, which is the capital of Jalisco. And it's just a three, maybe a 30-minute drive into town. And it's a three and a half hour straight nonstop flight out of Atlanta to Guadalajara.

[00:06:18] And then 30 minutes into town. See, Mexico has 32 states. And the state of Jalisco houses the largest freshwater lake in the country of Mexico. It's called Lake Chapala. Now, surrounding that lake are little towns and villages. And on that north shore is the largest expat community in the country of Mexico. Expat meaning expatriate.

[00:06:45] You know, I'm going to always be a U.S. citizen, but I can reside in another country. I'm an expat. You know, that's short for expatriate. You'd be surprised if a lot of people don't know that, you know, as they begin thinking about moving abroad and what goes with it. So, moved there.

[00:07:06] And that's when my whole life, just paradigm, consciousness, all of that, remember state, awakened. Up and out of the matrix. Then you actually, it's expansive. It's growing out of that box of the U.S.A.

[00:07:34] And I'm telling you, more and more people are beginning to live abroad and take deep breaths and do great things up and out of the system. I wrote a book called Considerations, A Guide for Moving Abroad. It's 10 chapters, and each chapter is a consideration. Consider finances. Consider visas. Consider downsizing. Consider family.

[00:08:03] You know, communication. Consider friends. And it's on Amazon. Just look up Queen D. Michelle. And Considerations, A Guide for Moving Abroad, a pop-up. And so I wrote that book. I started a brand. I had this awakening, this great awakening. And had I stayed, and I say all that as I move to my second nugget. I say all that. Had I stayed on the wheel.

[00:08:28] Had I stayed in, because I could have easily just, you know, kept working and supplemented my pension, right? I just could have done that. And a lot of people are doing that, you know, just staying on that wheel. But here's the thing about that. I only would have been working to pay bills. See, there would be no weekend getaways or no fine dining. I would work and pay bills. Work and pay bills. Until I couldn't work anymore.

[00:08:58] And then I lived substandardly because I wasn't working. That was the epiphany. And that was that first nugget and the story behind what can happen when you understand and overstand that you owe no one or no thing your life. Okay? Any questions about that? That's real.

[00:09:24] Well, yeah, we're going to deep dive right into that because I know you said a long salubre there. We're definitely going to deep dive into that because you made some great points about, you know, retirement. And, yes, you're right. You do see the elderly people working at Walmart. And you also see the ones also with Uber drivers as well. And I see the ones Amazon drivers. So I see all of that. So I totally understand why you had to say, I need to get the hell up out of here.

[00:09:52] Because they're not out there because they want to be. They out there because they have to be. Bodies broke down. Nervous system dysregulated. You know, oppressed and sad and stealing from Peter to pay Paul. And as soon as you get your check, it's going on. Who wants it? Right. I don't owe you that. I don't owe you my life. You know, I don't. I got my little pension, you know.

[00:10:22] And at that time, I was years away from my social security. I retired at 52. I retired at 52 for 27 years. I was going to try to do 30, you know, 55, 30 years and out. But, man, those three years seem like eternity. And when you get that, I'm done. And you're really done with it. You step away. And I did. I stepped away.

[00:10:51] But like I said, I got that pension. I said, oh, that was the rent. Now, what about everything else? Let me get out here, you know, and work. Yeah. That's what will happen. You get caught up. There is no dream. There is no savings. There is. You will work until you can't work anymore. And that's just, I think my parents, I'm 63 years old.

[00:11:17] My parents were probably that last generation who had a snippet of that American dream, if you will. That lie. Yeah. That was the last generation. That's gone. That's gone. Of course. Because our generation, we're cleaning it up now. It's like now we question everything. And it's like, especially Gen Alpha, the generation behind me, they question everything because they got technology.

[00:11:44] So, yes, we are truly questioning everything, you know. So how is it living in Mexico, you know, because I know you tell us that, hey, it's not as bad. There's like no racism there. It's not. It's absolutely not. You guys just have to. And I get it. I get it.

[00:12:02] Imagine me, a single black woman, 52 years old, telling family and friends, hey, I'm about to move to Mexico, you know, in 2016, you know, before this mass great awakening that, you know, we're having. And all they could talk about with the drugs and the cartel and the animal and the chicken industry.

[00:12:27] I mean, just these pictures that they painted, you know, of how, you know, how it is. But here's the thing about that. When I got over to Lake Chapala and like I said, there's the largest expat community in the country. And understand this, too. That's that Lake Chapala area. That's more of a retirement type. You know, there are older Americans and Canadians who.

[00:12:53] But we walked up and down the streets, you know, just smiling at one another, winking and what that damn near. Because it's like, you know, we got a secret. You know, we we know or that. Congratulations. You made it out. When you're in the same boat with with people, when you're in, you know, in a in a foreign country and you're a part of helping the economy. No one's treating you with racism.

[00:13:17] Now, I tell you what, if any racism is experienced is from colonizers coming over there wanting the same type of treatment and, you know, top level this that they have in America and Canada there, you know. So they get into their own little gated communities, you know, and they they utilize the great prices and beauty of these towns.

[00:13:47] But they've been doing that way before we caught caught wind of it. It was the best kept secret, you know. Retire, move to Mexico. Absolutely. Move to Brazil. Move to Costa Rica. Move to Portugal. I mean, we moved to Thailand. We all over the place now.

[00:14:08] Foreign country up in there and put melanated or black, black expats and put spank black expats that we all over and we steady getting up out of there. You know, it just takes that. Ability now, it's harder. I'm resident day, permanent day here. You know, I have a I have a permanent resident visa.

[00:14:30] And now compared what it costs now compared to what it was back in 2016, it's kind of tough getting that that. That visa. And then remember when I went, I went retired. I relocated, retired. I didn't relocate having to work. You know, my little pension that I had to supplement in the States took care of all my needs. You know, with leftover.

[00:14:59] But in the United States, I had to work to supplement that. You know. Wow. That is amazing right there. I hope y'all enjoying the first 15 minutes of Liquor Talk because that is some powerful knowledge that she dropped on us within the first 15 minutes. So y'all might need to go ahead and stay a while. Get your drink going. Get your wine poured up. If you haven't done so already, because we definitely got more coming for you. So tell me about this book that you're about to drop this month.

[00:15:29] I'm going to tell you about that because that's my third nugget. Let me move to my second. Oh, OK. OK. I just need to jump ahead on the nugget. She kind of got me excited. That's OK. All right. So the second nugget is simply this. It's a proven fact that trauma is passed down generationally through DNA. Proven fact.

[00:15:56] Most don't realize that they carry the trauma of their ancestors. Now, here's the good news in the nugget. If trauma can be passed down through DNA, which it is, then healing can be passed up. Yes. Now, how do people in our previous generation pass that healing on? Because a lot of them, they don't like to pass that healing on, you know? It's not about them. You know what?

[00:16:24] That's an individual. You don't. The trauma that you're carrying in your DNA, that trauma you're carrying, you don't know from which ancestor and how much of it and where. You don't know any of that. That's going to be the same thing with healing. When the healing begins through the bloodline, through the lineage, it just happens.

[00:16:50] And those things that were trauma, they begin to fall off because they're no longer being supplied, I guess, within the DNA. I don't know the language or all the scientific that can say, how can we or how do we?

[00:17:07] But what I do know that I know that I know is that over 20 years ago, a group of Black scientists got together and they created the largest database of Black blood in the world. It's called African ancestry. Now, you know, you know, you know, you know, ancestry, ancestry.com. You take that DNA test. They'll tell you, you a little bit of this and you a little bit of that and your region is over there. But you take an African ancestry DNA test.

[00:17:36] Not only will it tell you what country out of the 54 sovereign countries on the continent of Africa, not only would it tell you your country. But it'll also tell you your tribe. So now I know you, not only your country, but it'll also tell you your tribe.

[00:17:59] And more than likely, it's going to fall along that western coast of Africa due to the Atlantic slave trade. Now, let me tell you about healing and how I don't know how it happens, but I know that it does. It's simply this. When I went to, when I discovered I am from the country, small little country, never heard of it until I took the DNA test of Guinea-Bissau, West Africa.

[00:18:26] And that I am maternally, my bloodline originated within the Fula tribe of Guinea-Bissau, West Africa. So I took a trip to Guinea-Bissau, West Africa, because it's one of those countries that is participating in repatriation. And so I got with the group, the art in it. They made me a custom-made itinerary.

[00:18:50] And on my 60th birthday, I stepped foot into my ancestral Fula village. I stepped foot into the village in which that female was taken from. And when she arrived here, of course, she got mixed with a whole lot of other, other, other due to breeding, you know, and just rape.

[00:19:20] You know, she got mixed with a lot. But the original bloodline was that of the Fula people of Guinea-Busau, West Africa. So when I went back, I took that female who didn't die on the ship. She didn't jump off the ship. She wasn't killed on the ship. She survived the passage. And again, she got mixed with a whole lot of stuff when she got here, but she survived the passage.

[00:19:47] So when I went back, I took my mother's mother's mother's mother's mother back. Anywhere from 200 to 250 years, they all went back, you know. So what healing takes place through the bloodline? As I stepped foot in my, you know, ancestral village, I don't know. But I know that I know that I know if trauma can be passed down, healing can be passed up.

[00:20:14] And that's just the knowing, you know, that takes place. Now, everybody ain't going back to Africa. I can't, you know, that trip was, I just paid off the loan that I took out to take that trip. And that was in 2023.

[00:20:29] Um, so everybody can't go back, but it's becoming aware of, and part of my nonprofit, when I got back from that trip, I started a nonprofit called Fula History and Genealogy Society in America. And, um, and just knowing information about just, just start, you know, maybe you could possibly take, maybe you can't take the trip, but you can take the blood test.

[00:20:56] I mean, you can take the test, you know, maybe if you can't take the trip and, you know, maybe just starting there and then just becoming aware that there is a such thing as generational trauma. So part of my nonprofit is to raise awareness. Just, that's it. All I'm doing is raising awareness that generational trauma exists. It does. And, and, and let, and let, let the healing begin.

[00:21:19] However, now take, for instance, my native tongue, uh, uh, with the Fula tribe maternally is Pular. That's my native tongue. They speak Pular. Now I'll never speak Pular, but I'm telling you just knowing that I, that's my native tongue. It's a game changer. It's, it's a paradigm shift.

[00:21:39] It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, um, uh, an ascension in consciousness, if you will, you know, because now you're, you know, you're, you're, you're aligned with and, and, and, and always connected to, but now you're aligned with, you know, that, that the power of your ancestors, you know, to lead, guide and direct you.

[00:22:00] So it is my, uh, nugget to just to drop that and say, again, if trauma can be passed down, which it is, then healing can be passed up. Questions on that one? Yeah. Now, how can, now, how can we heal from that? Knowing the trauma has been passed down? Now, how do, how does, how, what does the healing steps look like? Well, it's, it's, it's more than it's an, it's a knowing you have to, there will be a,

[00:22:30] I would think, cause it was with me and I can't say for anybody else. Healing takes place inward. You know, it's, it's, it's an inward thing. One has to go in, one has to be guided within. And, and what are the steps to that? I would start off with meditation. At least that's what I started off with. Meditation takes you inward. And as once you are in, you're always connected.

[00:22:56] But once you are aligned with your soul self going in, meditating, they will lead, guide, and direct you as to what you should do. Go, say, speak, sit. You know, there, there's a leading. You start living your life from within out. And that's the healing. That's the healing. You, you, you understand? But people say meditation. Nobody meditate. Don't meditate. It's hard. It's hard to meditate.

[00:23:26] And I get that. So my suggestion to that, if you want to start down that rabbit hole, you want to start down that path, which I encourage you to start with a guided meditation. Can't nobody just go in and start meditating. Nobody just do that. You have to be guided inward. And it may take some time. It started with me. I took a, nine years ago, nine years ago, I took a 21 day meditation challenge with Oprah

[00:23:55] and Deepak, right? After that 21 days was over, and it was guided. Each one was guided, David. After it was over, I never stopped. I never stopped. And, and, and, and, and it got to a point where instead of being guided in word, it was like my soul self said, Hey, I got her. I got her. And once I get, you know, pulled in and, and I go in myself now and we hold counsel up in there.

[00:24:21] I tell you the alignment of, uh, with your soul self, you will hear that call him, call her, turn left, sit down, be quiet, go right, write this, call him. You know, it's, it's that type of, of alignment. And with that, that's healing. Get aligned. How do you get aligned? Meditate. How you start meditating? Start with a guided.

[00:24:51] And that's, that's the step. That's the first step after that, you know, tell them what, you know, where you'll go and learn and do and be, have and see, you know? Of course. Of course. That is so real. We all should be definitely taking time to meditate because I remember there was a school up in, um, I think it was in Baltimore. They said they would take the kids and stuff, send them to detention. They took them into meditation session sessions.

[00:25:18] And what they found is the students were a lot calmer. The violence went down and I'm like, if you work for the babies, it could work for you. So I definitely agree with definitely tapping in with the meditation. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. When it talks about healing, the first step opening up to that healing is awareness and acceptance. I mean, that generational trauma even exists. Then with that inner standing, right?

[00:25:46] One becomes more, uh, open to receiving that, which can't be tangibly seen, you know, or, or, or, or. Known, you know, it's, it's, it's that journey inward, which leads me to my third nugget. Ooh. Wow. My passion. My book. Yes. Unless you got any more questions about, um.

[00:26:12] Now this may tie into the, what you want, uh, what, now, what, what do you people, what do you consider to be new earth? No, what is something that, uh, we should be tapping into? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's just it. And it does lead in. You are good. Yeah. It does lead into, um, a new earth. Now, this is how we're going to get there.

[00:26:34] I, um, I created a social, emotional learning and emotional intelligence, if you will, uh, curriculum, right? Um, for middle and high school students. Uh, and it's, it was called, and it's called 52 insights for gen alpha, a conscious curriculum.

[00:27:00] Now, just a side nugget, all the four years that I lived in Mexico, the first time I was writing books. I had a blog and a brand and I was writing books and, and one of the books was entitled 52 insights for living new earth. Now that was, that was the title. Then when I went back to Detroit, um, to care for my parents in 2021, I set all that down.

[00:27:28] I set that, uh, you know, my workshop and everything I was going to do all that. I sat down, but through a set of circumstances, 52 insights for gen alpha, uh, which was originally 52 insights for living new earth. Now was born. It was born.

[00:27:51] It is a conscious curriculum for, it started off as a conscious curriculum for gen alpha. I'm going to tell you about new earth in a minute, but let me tell you about gen alpha. See, because when I realized that all that work I did in Mexico was never for the audience that I thought it was for. Um, and, and, and, and again, the universe is perfect because had I known that I probably would have messed it up. Right.

[00:28:17] But, um, and, and discovering that it was for generation alpha, of course I had to do a deep dive into who is generation alpha. I had been away from the classroom for 10 years, you know, who is gen alpha. And, and so into that deep dive, this is what I discovered, which led me to understand that my curriculum was for them. Gen alpha, uh, was born between 2010 and 2024.

[00:28:45] The oldest of that generation turned 14, uh, last year. They are the children of the millennials and some of the exes who got in there, uh, kind of late. They are the first generation to be born fully in the 21st century. That means that they have been clicking and swiping since infancy.

[00:29:13] Their only mode of, uh, um, stimuli has been external. Now I don't blame the millennials because I get it because it was becoming a different time because when that tablet went into the hand or that phone went into the hand and they looked, they were, Oh shoot. I can't get the paper done. Oh man, I can get this, you know, get these, Oh man, I can cook a meal. And here's the thing. They're learning.

[00:29:42] They're learning. And which they was, however, the amount of screen time, uh, has contributed to a complete deregulation of the nervous system of generation alpha, you know, and, um, they have such an important role, uh, in the evolution of the consciousness of humanity.

[00:30:09] Understand what, what generation alpha with this alpha mean beginning. They are responsible for the conscious evolution of humanity, right? They will be the largest generation in the history of the world. Okay. So there's, there's a disservice that's been to them because we, we teachers, counselors,

[00:30:36] parents, uh, who so into gen alpha's gen alpha's lives. Our systems are deregulated and, and, um, and the, which leads me to the third nugget in the third nugget is, I want you to know that that curriculum I piloted in two middle schools in Detroit, Michigan during the 2024, 25 school year. Let me preface that.

[00:31:04] And that's where I learned, learned the third nugget. I came to enter, understand the third nugget. And that's simply that unconscious can't teach consciousness. The unconscious can't teach consciousness. Um, it's, it's a personal journey. Okay. It's, it's, uh, one, one mistake by themselves. It's not a group trip, you know?

[00:31:33] And as I introduced the, uh, program to the teachers and what I, what I saw, and I was a teacher and I get it, but all they do now today in the classroom, you know, was just in there is put out fires all day long, put out fires all day long. They have no, a lot of them have no idea how to connect to and, and, and educate and, in a way, uh, generation alpha.

[00:32:03] They are a different breed and, and, you know, and I'm seeing it across the board. See, teachers are not equipped to take students on a journey that they have not yet taken themselves. See, um, we're all on different levels of the spectrum when it comes to social emotional learning and emotional intelligence. We're all on different levels, you know, just due to our background, our environment, you know, uh, uh, our programming and condition, our biases and preferences.

[00:32:32] We're all on a, on a, on a different, uh, spectrum. So, uh, family dynamics, you know, diet. So with that, moving into, uh, inward, and that's what the, the, uh, program is about. The curriculum takes the participant, if you will, on a journey, not a lesson, but an individual journey.

[00:32:58] When I, after that attempt to pilot in the middle schools, I went back to the drawing board. I, I, I incorporated AI and I've taken the program and, and put it online. It's a hundred percent online and it's individual. See what happens is the, uh, the person will take a personality test at the beginning of the,

[00:33:28] the program. And they'll be put on one of five different paths, uh, conscious decision-making, social awareness, relationship skills, mindfulness, or self-management. Now they will hit all five paths, but based on that test, you know, the adaptive learning, that's the AI part, will then put them on their own individual path. There's no tests.

[00:33:58] There's no quizzes. There's no assessments. There's no right or wrong answers. It's a journey. It's an individual journey that one takes inward. You know, they haven't been taught how to really cut the noise down, how to, how to navigate. They, they haven't been equipped with the tools necessary to navigate their world. You know, and that's what this, uh, curriculum is doing. I'm piloting, piloting again.

[00:34:28] Uh, but this time it's a hundred percent online, a hundred percent self-paced. It's free. It's a pilot program. It's a free program. It starts September 8th. I, I have sponsored 11. I'm sorry. I have sponsored a hundred slots and it's not just for gen alpha. I want teachers, counselors, social workers, mentors, any, anybody who is sowing into the

[00:34:57] life of gen alpha or just need to, to, to regulate their nervous system, to, to, to gather the tools necessary, one being meditation, gather the tools necessary to navigate, uh, this external world. It's just different. And you need the two. We just around here putting out fires all day long.

[00:35:18] Just like I saw them teachers totally distracted with the inability to quiet the noise in order to make conscious decisions, to have conscious relationships, you know, to be conscious. Cause what is consciousness? What is new earth? New earth is not a place. It's a state of consciousness. That's what new earth is.

[00:35:47] It's just a state of consciousness. And you can live that state of consciousness. Now you navigate your world. Or you can be in it, but not of it because consciously you are, you, you live, move, and have your beingness, if you will, in a, a higher state of consciousness. It's not 3d or third dimensional. It's not dense. It's not heavy.

[00:36:17] It's not 4d where the transitioning awakening is really taking place. It's 5d, you flowing and growing and you, you have this, you are aligned with your soul. So, and you have this ebb and flow about the way you live, move, and have your beingness in the universe here, you know?

[00:36:41] So I have a, you know how hard it was to get that curriculum into two schools in the first place? It was just like the, you know, the perfect course. Who, who, who, and so when I got it in, finally, you know, I was able to, you know, get two principles. Yeah. Come on in with it. You know, uh, when I finally got it in and now here I am, you know, telling the teachers, okay, this is generation alpha. This is how they are.

[00:37:08] This is what they, this is what you, if you could, they couldn't. How could they? I'm gonna tell you, I don't tell you to breathe when I don't breathe. Tell you to meditate. I can't take you on a journey. I haven't been on myself. I'm putting out fires all day long. I can't help you regulate your nervous system, you know, help you, encourage you to make conscious decisions, you know, but, um, that's my program. And actually it's why I came forth.

[00:37:37] I came forth for a time such as this, uh, my life, uh, experiences show that, you know, it wasn't ordinary leaving the country in 2016, you know, moving to Mexico. Had I not done that, had I stayed on the wheel, there would be no trip to Africa. You understand there would be no, um, fuller history and genealogy society raising, uh, awareness

[00:38:07] about generational trauma. There would be no 52 insights for Gen Alpha. None of that would have taken place, but having been able to be out. And it's a, it's a multitude of stories of people who say, so when I left is when I began to live, when I left, I saw when I, I left because it is a system.

[00:38:29] It is a, that people are tethered to and will remain tethered to, you know, in this lifetime, uh, unfortunately, but for those who, who awaken, who, and, and that's another thing about, uh, the curriculum. And I love, and I state that at the beginning of each path, whichever one they take is that these concepts are for your consideration only, you know, you know, make sure to chew

[00:38:58] the grass and spit the sticks. You know, what will resonate will, will stay and what doesn't will fall off. But I, I know that I know that I know that you're going to come up out of it better than what you, where you went into it. You're going to have some tools, you'll have some exercises, you'll have some practices, you're going to be, you're going to be looking at some things a little bit differently. You're going to be, like you said, you're going to be asking some questions. We'll start questioning, uh, some things you're going to start.

[00:39:27] Uh, yeah. Like I said, if, you know, uh, when, uh, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear and, and, and, and I appreciate an opportunity. I want to invite your, uh, listeners. If you guys would, I'm, uh, uh, I'm sure you're going to leave the link in your, in

[00:39:51] your show notes, uh, jump on over to, uh, my website, my nonprofit website, but click on 52 insights for GN Alpha and sign up for, uh, register, if you will, for the pilot that starts September 8th. And it goes to, through March, uh, 12th. And again, like I said, this is you, this is a journey. You're not checking in.

[00:40:17] There are no assignments, uh, some practices and exercises just for you. And you do it the way you make your plate, the way you want to, um, as it relates to this, because again, we are different. Even if we were to make a plate at a buffet, we're going to make it a little bit different. Ain't we? Because we, we go at it a different, because we are individuals, you know? So start off with that, uh, personality test and then, um, take a journey this fall, uh,

[00:40:48] within. Of course. Of course. You definitely got to take that journey. So when is the last day to set us, um, sign up? Cause I know you said September 8th is, um, when it begins. So when is the last day to set us, the enrollment shuts down August 31st. And I really want, I had been wasting a lot of time casting my consciousness pearls before

[00:41:11] swine, because I kept having to explain and explain and explain and explain and explain, and I'm, you know, and, and kind of chase and don't you see how good this is. And, and, and it, and it came to me. The universe is perfect. My guys say, you, you talking to the wrong, you know, again, unconscious, you know, can't teach consciousness. They don't see it, you know?

[00:41:38] So why don't you move into the more of the, the conscious community, the new earth community, the homeschooling community, cause homeschooling already on a different level. Right. So, you know, talk to those communities and see, cause I only have a, I have a hundred slots, but so far today, August 5th, which is my son's birthday, 36 today. Um, I have eight, I have eight participants and four of them are relatives.

[00:42:08] Yeah. We definitely got to get that word out. Yeah. It's wood. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Yeah. And happy birthday to your son. And he, it turns out your son is turning to age. I'll be turning in December. So, you know, Sagittarius. Yes. I'm a Sagittarius. What day? Uh, December 5th. My daughter is December 4th. Oh, wow. Yeah. Major Sagittarius energy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No doubt.

[00:42:36] So do the horoscopes play a factor into new earth and to the ancestry and what you teach and, and how do they play a factor or do they even play a factor at all? Astrology plays a part. Numerology plays a part, you know, uh, in that because that's all, uh, the stars and the moon and the sun and the sky and the earth and the, in the water and the air, all of that,

[00:43:03] all of that plays a part in, uh, in raising your consciousness, if you will. That's why everything is so bricked off. That's why we in buildings and, and, you know, everything and not a whole lot of grass. There's a picture of one society. I think it, I forget, uh, where it is, but you can see from above the, the haves and the have nots. The haves have greenery.

[00:43:30] You know, there's trees and grass and all of that on that side, but you cross over and it's just buildings and brick and, you know, concrete, like a concrete jungle, you know? Uh, and I tell you, and I come from concrete junk, uh, jungles born and raised in Detroit, lived 11 years in Las Vegas, live four years in Atlanta, and then got to Mexico and hiked

[00:43:57] the mountains, hiked in the mountains of Mexico. Just chant. This is what I'm saying. It, it's the whole wow of it all. And even still today, I have, uh, women, especially, you know, middle-aged women who, uh, thank me for showing them, you know, just saying this is possible, you know, cause I kind of feel

[00:44:21] like I contributed to that exodus, especially of middle-aged, uh, black women who, uh, when I went, when I moved to Lakeside and I'm not there anymore, I'm in Tulum now, but when I was in Jalisco, it was maybe, you know, a handful of us, uh, black women, you know, on that North shore.

[00:44:45] But, um, even today, I, you know, just recently they took a picture of the, of the community and man, it has grown. And I, and I, and I just kind of smile cause several of those women, I know I was responsible for, you know, uh, showing them Lakeside and them moving and making the decision to move, you know, I'm looking at their faces because I did do some, uh, concierge work and some

[00:45:11] consulting, uh, during my time there, you know, I had to, cause they kept, they kept coming. They had questions, you know, I said, I kept saying the same thing over and I said, let me write the book, wrote the book and man, that took off. Uh, just because it's just written very plainly. You see how I talk, you know, so it's written very plainly, just an understanding of, uh, we

[00:45:37] can get on up out of there and, and, and the first chapter, um, is chapter one is entitled, uh, fear versus faith. Simple as that fear versus faith. I can stay on that wheel. Fear would have kept me on that wheel, but faith got me off and Hey, Hey, you know? Yeah. Now do you see any brothers going over there? Cause I know you mentioned the sisters.

[00:46:05] Now, do you see any brothers are traveling as well? Not as much as the sisters and, and, and, and what I'm seeing too, with the, with the youngest, you know, your age, they bringing a man with them. You know what I'm saying? You know, I see couples more than I see single black men. I see couples, black couples, but it's more black women making these moves. And I mean, they are over the place.

[00:46:35] Then I do see men, but men, there are some men who doing it, but not, uh, not as much as the women and not as much as being who have, who have, uh, a wife, you know, couples are doing it. So from your observations, is there a reason that men are too scared to move or what you saying that us men are, or something to hold us back? They locked in, they tethered, they tethered.

[00:47:02] And I'm sure it's probably really hard for a black, you know, more, more difficult, more challenging for a black man to, uh, up and leave the States than it is for a black woman, you know, a black man, you, you, you, you, you, you definitely, you know, we need your back. We need your, uh, we need your taxes. We need you working. We need you. In some capacity, not out there.

[00:47:32] In there. In the major. Clocking in. Two, three jobs. Just to pay bills. Cause you know what, what two or three jobs to do for you? Pay your bill. That's it. Two, three jobs. That's how you have your bills to pay, but you're tired. Oh my God. And see that, and that's the whole plan. They're going to work you and run you into the ground and say, okay, yeah, you good. You good. You retired now. And do what? Again, live substandardly.

[00:48:01] I don't owe you my life. Who said I owe you my life? They damn near making you pay to breathe air. You know what I'm saying? Just to breathe. Are you breathing? That's a tax. Fresh air tax. Yes. Man. Yes. Fair tax, everything. And here's the thing. Once you, I just truly believe, and I'm going to leave this with your audience.

[00:48:25] I truly believe for those of you who are considering moving abroad, there are some considerations. So definitely check out considerations, a guy for moving abroad, but more than anything, do it. More than anything. Yes. You know, I always come back home. You know, I always come back. You ain't going to want to. You're going to do everything you can not to. Guarantee you that.

[00:48:55] Do some research. Yes. And vision. Watch YouTube videos. You know, here's the thing too with my curriculum. This is a year long curriculum. The participants, the pilot is only a taste. It's like, you know, 20 weeks of a year long program. It's a pilot.

[00:49:15] But once it's piloted, I am now with data driven evidence of its impactfulness and things. I am going to, and it's success. I'm going to sell it to the highest bidder as a program. I've created a product. I've created an educational product enhanced with AI and needed for a time such as this.

[00:49:45] So I'm looking at Hoffman Mifflin. I'm looking at Pearson. I'm looking at ed tech companies who would want to. I will be anyway. Um, for my product. And then at, you know, at 63, my plan is to take cross country train rides and river cruises. That's how I'm a writer. I'm going to take yearly cross country train rides and river cruises. You know, I've anchored that light.

[00:50:14] I've anchored that light because that's what 52 insights, uh, does. It, it plants seeds in waters plants for new earth living. When you live new earth now, I'm living it right now. Having this conversation with me. Of course. Of course. And I know the conversation we're having is a microcosm of living new earth.

[00:50:35] Now, what is the bigger picture of living new earth and how can we get to that new earth while some of us are still stuck in America and tethered to the bullshit? Right. Because my son who, who, who, uh, is turning 36 today. He, he, he's definitely an example of someone who's in it, but not of it. Because his language is different and he, his, his, I mean, there is a different language.

[00:51:04] There's a different language to, uh, living new earth because now you are tapped in, turned on and tuned in to the language of the universe. You understand that there's a language of the universe and, and, and there's so many, uh, facets to when you say ascending to, uh, ascension is not upward.

[00:51:33] Ascension is inward. You ascend inward. You don't ascend upward. See, that's that again, there's so many, uh, lessons, but you are, you are in one of three states. You are either sleep awakening or awakened. You see sleep awakening or awakened. So, um, you'll think, how do I get there?

[00:52:03] It's a understanding too, that it's a, it's a bandwidth. It's a frequency to where energy and, and, and having coming to that understanding of who you are. You don't know who you are because you've lost that, uh, remembrance of who you are. And that's when, when living new earth is just living in a remembered state, you remember now.

[00:52:33] And so here's the thing about being awakened. Once you awaken, you can't go back to sleep. You can't go back to sleep. And, and, and knowing that, um, you do things, practices, exercises, and you navigate your, uh, life, live, move, and have your beingness with a frequency that matches new earth.

[00:53:01] Now, once you reach that frequency, I guess your question is how do you maintain it? Cause you have to maintain that bandwidth. It's like tuning in a radio station. You know, you tune in, you know, if you're going, if you're using a knob, you get to press buttons now. But when you use the knob, it's static, static, static, static, static, and now the weather is clear. And that's the frequency that you're matching with, you know?

[00:53:30] So you're going to live, move, function, and operate out that, that frequency. And cause people can only operate and function out of the level of their frequency that they're maintaining. Right? I'm not, I'm, I'm to the point now, I don't go down. I don't lower my frequency to interact, to, to, to function and operate in that.

[00:54:00] I'm still, I still have to do stuff in, in, in 3d and, you know, and I'm recognized and I'm more of a, of an observer than anything there. But my frequency, my bandwidth is that of new earth. New earth is not a place. It's a state of consciousness. So you, you have to, you have to first of all, get there. And you say, how do you get there?

[00:54:25] Well, see, again, I'm going to take you back to becoming aligned, going within, and then being led, guided, directed by your soul. So your soul knows all. Soul knows everything. You see, you can only see down the street. Soul sees around the corner. And if you go ahead and tap into, and you're always connected.

[00:54:46] But see right now, more than likely with a lot of people, the ego is in the front seat and the soul self is in the back being unheard, being unheard. So that paradigm shifts. That shift in consciousness takes place when soul self comes up. And now is in the front seat. Y'all are aligned. Now, ego is in the back. But see, here's the thing.

[00:55:15] Ego has a general purpose. But it's not the general. So let ego serve its purpose. Ego is three things. It's a defense mechanism. It's a thought producer. And a thought processor. But we have come, the asleep have come to believe that they are their ego. The asleep don't know who they are.

[00:55:41] The asleep, the unconscious, do not live, move, and have their beingness from a remembered state. They're asleep. They don't remember. Now, I wrote a book called Traveling Home Together. That is part of the, oh, I don't have it here. I wish I had it here. You know what? What page is it? I can't remember it because I wanted to read this one passage.

[00:56:08] And I'm sorry because I can't tap into where the book is in this moment. In time, I'm looking at it. That explains how ego began taking over, you know, and slowly but shook. When you got here, you and soul self was like this.

[00:56:28] But as you became more and more into your human, as you grew more and more into your humanness through your senses, what you tasted, tucked, smelled, heard, saw, that drew you in more into the physical world. You know, and ego started taking over. And you started, of course, believing the stories that you were told about yourself. You know, and that's how you've operated for years. Soul self in the back.

[00:56:58] Ego's in the front. You live in an ego-driven life. It's, you know, and those who are, ego is driving. They're easier to be controlled. You can't control somebody whose soul self is in the front seat. Ego's in the back, serving its purpose. If ego's in the front, they can very easily, because there are certain things that the matrix feeds the ego, you know, to keep it, you know, functioning.

[00:57:27] You know, when you believe in that's who you are, it's a journey. It's a journey inward for all of that. Any and ever, and I'm closing with this, I mean it. Any and everything you ever wanted to know about anything, any answer to any question, it's on the inside. And it will be, it will be answered.

[00:57:56] I mean, even Jesus said the kingdom of God is within. But see, we kind of just skip over that. And, you know, by programming and conditioning, you know, we learn to, you know, to praise, worship, and bow down to an external God who sits up high and looks down low. You know, so there's a lot of programming and conditioning that one has to awaken from.

[00:58:25] You know, and awakening ain't easy. You know what I mean? And so a lot choose just to, you know, that ignorance is bliss. Y'all go on with that, you know. And operate, you know, the way you do. But man, we are here to experience, explore, expand, and create. To have fun. To find our bliss.

[00:58:55] Not to work until we can't work anymore. My true purpose, you know, you know, I was always to be, I was always on my path, you know, as a teacher or what have you know. That was part of my soul contract. I get that now. But stepping out and over into Mexico and then having all that unfold for me. And even then, I didn't know it was 52 insights for Gen Alpha. And even then, see, the universe works on a need-to-know basis, you know.

[00:59:27] Need-to-know basis, you know. So that's where that trust comes in. That's where that faith come in. That the universe has your back. It does. It's not a God who's going to punish you because you didn't tithe enough. You didn't offer enough. You didn't praise enough. You didn't worship enough. You didn't speak in tongues enough. You didn't lay out prostrate enough. You're just not enough. You know, and that's why I'm being answered. You know, I would never be enough.

[00:59:58] But I've enjoyed my time here. But saying that my, I don't have to find my, my battery is getting low. Okay, okay. We're going to close. Queen Michelle, I want to thank you for blessing the liquor talk with your presence. How can the people get in touch with you? All right. So I really want you guys to check out my, my website. Because on there, I have a blog.

[01:00:26] It's a 16 chapter blog. It's called My Soul's Journey Home. If you just want to see me step foot in my ancestral village, go to my website. Go to the blog. Click on the blog and go to chapter seven. Chapter seven shows me actually enter. I remember asking the guy, can I hug him? But see me be received by my, by my people.

[01:00:55] See, see them embrace me. I was the third person ever to step foot back in, in that village, in that way. And, and, and it's, it's, it's a beautiful thing. So check out chapter seven. If you go there, definitely click on 52 insights and man, go ahead and, you know, register. Like I said, I got eight, man. And I'm spending quite a bit of money on this $15,000 for this pilot, you know? Ooh, wow. Yeah.

[01:01:25] Listen, Hey, I definitely appreciate you blessing the liquor talk with your presence. And I hope we can get the word out, get people joining the course. Yeah. And, um, Oh, www. It's Fula, F-U-L-A, FulaAmerican.org. That's it. Yeah. Fula. See, cause I'm not African American. African, it's Africa is a continent with 54 sovereign countries. Different monies, different governments.

[01:01:55] You got to have a passport to go like, you know, you can go from Detroit to Chicago, but on that continent, you're going to have to have a passport to go from country to country. It ain't state to state, it's country to country. So, um, uh, God, I just lost my thought. What was I saying? The people had to get in touch with you. Yeah. It's Fula American.

[01:02:18] So, um, I would love to say, you know, I guess I am American, but I'm not African American. I'm Fula American. Cause that's my, that's my tribe. You feel that? So that's where Fula came from. F-U-L-A American.org. Check me out. Yes. Please check out y'all. Thank you for blessing the liquor talk with your presence.

[01:02:44] And thank you to the listeners of the liquor talk podcast that tuned in and had a glass of wine with us. Thank you everybody. As we continue on this journey to 400 episodes until the next episode job. Peace.
