👉🏿 INVEST IN INDEPENDENT BLACK MEDIA → Watch the FULL UNCENSORED interview with Yohance Gregory at https://ineverknewtv.com/premium/

In Pt. 1 of this powerful reasoning, Yohance Gregory, son of legendary activist, author, and comedian Dick Gregory, challenges conventional thinking about Black liberation. Drawing on African history, spirituality, and the lessons passed down by his father, Yohance argues that true freedom begins with purpose, identity, and self-knowledge not simply changing external systems. He explains why understanding what we're fighting for is just as important as knowing what we're fighting against.

Throughout this conversation, Yohance explores Black liberation, African history, spiritual growth, identity, community, and the importance of building a foundation for future generations. Whether you're interested in Black history, personal development, Black empowerment, or the enduring legacy of Dick Gregory, this discussion offers timeless insights that remain just as relevant today.

Lessons Yohance Gregory learned from Dick Gregory
African history, identity, and self-knowledge
The role of spirituality in true freedom
Why many people are fighting the wrong battle

Here she sings her powerful lament about the ancient city of Timbuktu, under assault by religious fundamentalists:

THIS IS MY LAND
This is Timbuktu, my home land,
Where the children are mourning from gloom,
This is my land, Timbuktu «the Maliba»,
The land of love,
The land of warmth,
The land of dignity,
Here is my Nation…
Why are we crying?
Why are the children crying?
Why are the young crying?
Cause of unfairness,
Cause of violence,
Fearing the future…
Here is my home
Stop crying
Cause no matter what, Timbuktu will remain
