In Loving Memory of Steven Suson....

J

Jodi Suson, of Suson Essentials invited me to her brother Steven's, Virtual funeral, my first!

Although I didn't know Steven, I do know of his heart, via his sister, Jodi.

30 years ago when I first began my journey to ridding my body of pain,

Chiropractors were the only ones who made my life bearable. 

Unlike Western Medical Professionals, Chiropractors had  a different view of the body

and it's own healing capabilities.  For Steven's journey into Chiropractic field, I am grateful 

there is someone else on the planet who believes.

I will always cherish my first experience, and my most recent experience with my

current chiropractor, Dr. Jason Lee Smith of Wicker Park Chiro and 606 Health, who

believes (and recommends for his patiences) alternative healing therapies, just like that Jodi referred to me to.

I met Jodi in 2016-17? at McCormick Place, for the Diabetes Expo Chicago, where I shared my

journey to overcoming Type 2 Diabetes. (FREE Download ZeldaSpeaks.com) my contribution to those 

those in need of a healing from the disease) 

I am so glad I kept in touch with her over the years. I am honored to be asked to attend the services of

a man who dedicated his life to the health and wellness of the community he served.

Someone wise once said, "Service is the price you pay for the space you occupy on earth!"

Thanks Steven for occupying the space you did, and the service you rendered.

As I sit here listening to the funeral services, where his little brother Gary is speaking,

I think to myself, Steven, What A fighter you are!

As I sit here with tears in my eyes, hearing his sister Jodi talking about how he

flooded his body with nutrition, I am reminded that we all must do the same, to not only

heal our bodies, but our minds and that of our families!

 I now have a site to help others even more because his sister Jodi , my friend, insisted that I join the health revolution, to the next level. (zelda.now.site)

I may not be able to touch people the way Steven did, but I can certainly try and follow in his

footsteps by being of service to others, by any means possible.

I had no idea Steven taught at LANDMARK, teaching over 500 people! 

No wonder he was so awesome!

Who receives a diagnosis of death within a year, and tells the doctor NOT!?

Steven did! Lived another 23 years beyond that! Wow!

Thanks for the lesson Steven!

I imagine the Creator of the Universe, to say about Steven, "Well Done My Son, 

You Have Completed Your Earthly Assignment!  Well Done"!

I only hope that someone says something good for us all, as we continue this journey we call life!

Shalom!

John Lewis: Civil Rights Icon Passes....

Although we never met him personally, we know that we have benefited personally and professionally from his struggle with the powers that be.  

Thank you Congressman John Lewis for your decades of  being the voice and fighting for civil rights.

Thank you for showing others that moral authority is the right move,  and hopefully this nation will continue the challenge.

Does Corporate America Have The Answer to Racism?

It was stated on The Wende Williams-DeLoach, EQ Show Today on
how Colonizers (Former Slave Owners) are mad as hell because
FREE LABOR has ended! (In the traditional sense anyway!)

New SLAVE Labor is now incarceration.  JAIL!
($2.00 A Day while working!)

It's the same amount of money I was paid as a child
chopping cotton on the master's cotton field in Crenshaw, Mississippi
in 1969!

Yes I did say CHOP COTTON) More of that story in my very
first book,  The Passion Principles: Pathways To Purpose, Power & Profit! (1997)
(www.amazon.com/product-reviews/1890896500)
Not a whole lot has changed.

We (our ANCESTORS) built America'.

AFTER utilizing our skills of building infastructural design, plumbing, electricity, carpentry, flooring, etc, our men were removed from the family, destroying the family unit.  With nowhere to go to further use those trade skills, like where we built  towns back in 1790 in places like Holland Beach, Maryland (plus 900 plus other towns) where our ancestors re-built towns destroyed by the colonizers, what else was there to do?

What can you do after every town you build (Like ROSEWOOD, Tulsa, Oklahoma, etc.) is BURNT TO THE GROUND!

What can you do after your bank, FREEDOM BANK, was robbed of $500 MILLION DOLLARS, that was used to build the RAILROAD SYSTEM!)


What can you do?
Organize.
Stragetize.
de-Monetize system that continues to depreciate, not even tolerate your humanity.

Control who gets your hard earned dollars!
Stop running to give your money away to a system designed to keep you in bondage,
from the food you eat, to the plastic shoes on your feet!

The movement has begun.
Abolishionish Teaching is surging!

The ECONOMIC Plan of of BOYCOTTING any business that is NOT A BLACK BUSINESS is crucial.

We spend over 1.3 TRILLION Dollars a year.
(Mexicans have surpassed us spending   $1.5 Trillion)
Don't believe me, do your own research.
Google Georgetown University - Black Consumerism


Corporate America really believes they can just throw BILLIONS at us
and everything else will be ok!  Really?

That's the mind of a Colonizer! Recognize that and adjust your thinking before you get so happy to receive!  They don't want you boycotting they're products, so they pretend to care.  They believe that money is the solution to all of society's ills!  Don't don't think so? Check out these numbers:

Corporate Donations as of Monday June 29th, 2020
Black Enterprise wrote an article on the subject.
In response to the killing of George Floyd, here are pledges so far:

TOTAL OF

1.768 Billion Dollars

Apple  $1 BILLION

Bank of American $1 BILLION

Nike/Michael Jordan $100M  over 10 years

Sony $100M

Walmart $100M

Warner Music Group $100M

Nike $40M

Google $25M

Amazon $10M

Facebook $10M

GM $10M

Goldman Sacs $10M

Verizon $10M

Target $10M

Corporate Response: 

Pledge BILLIONS  to fight racial injustice!

THEY CAN BEGIN By hiring more in MIDDLE to UPPER Management!

NO!

Better than that: Help Start SMALL BUSINESSES, like the ones YOUR ANCESTORS BURNED DOWN!

Corporate America, you're really not pledging money to help us, it's really to increase your profits

because it's already ingrained in us to give it right back! WALMART! AMAZON! TARGET! Need I say more?

Ok, enough said.

Now the question is, who’s responsible for reporting back to African American's EXACTLY what organizations will get this funding.  Of course your typical IN THE NEWS BLACK ORGANIZATIONS will receive the first PLEDGES, but what about the struggling community organizations who have no voice?

Well, you do now!

Let that voice be heard!

Contact those CORPORATIONS and REPORT BACK to the Public on whether they will fund your small business/non-profit!

Follow the money!

Dr. Conrad Worrill Memoriam

Dr. Conrad Worrill Brother Conrad Worrill died on June 3. It was a very sad day. He was a revolutionary who had been at the forefront of the Black Nationalist scene, most notably with the Reparations Movement. He retired as an academician after 40 years at Northeastern Illinois University, Jacob H. Carruthers Center for Inner City Studies. Professor Worrill was a professor, director, and department chair. Conrad was an educator with a historical photographic memory. He could and did quote chapter and verse as he provided historical perspectives on everything. Dr. Worrill was a renaissance man of the sort - scholar, educator, community organizer, political pundit and advisor, consultant, newspaper columnist, radio personality, activist, professor and husband, brother and father. He educated thousands and was proud to see his students become professors, college presidents, deans, and principals at educational institutions throughout the country. Conrad was a Malcolm X devotee. He worked in the forefront and behind the scenes with deliberation and army like-precision. He was a leader, a thinker, an educator, but most of all, he was a historian and a community organizer. Conrad knew everything about everything and if he discovered something new, he let you know. He gave assignments and he reported on his activity in detail. He really was a mover-shaker. Conrad’s father, Walter Worrill, was in the YMCA Movement and in his day, that was the height of the Civil Rights Movement. In the days of segregation, Walter Worrill, provided meeting places and lodging for many at the 39th Street Y. Conrad saw first hand as a child the giants of the day - Jackie Robinson, Paul Roberson, Marian Anderson, John Sengstacke, and a host of others. He often talked about lessons learned from his father and his celebrity interactions as a young boy. The Worrill family hails from Pasadena, California. They were friends and neighbors with the Jackie Robinson Family. Conrad often spoke fondly and lovingly of Jackie Robinson, saying that he and his brother were the most excellent athletes in more than one sport. Jackie played football and basketball, and tennis as well as he did baseball. In Chicago, Conrad attended Hyde Park High School and through the years stayed in contact with many of his high school classmates; they became lifelong friends and a number of them helped Conrad with his many causes. Conrad was a track star and talked glowingly about the track in high school and what it taught and did for him and others as a sport and recreation. A Key To Harold's Win.. Conrad Worrill (Left to right), former Mayor Harold Washington, and Lu Palmer (Photo Source: Worrill Family Archives) Former Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel and Dr. Conrad Worrill - Bas Relief Plaque Dedicated to Former Mayor Harold Washington at The Chicago Public Library Conrad was a student of leadership, as he steadily perfected his own strategies. The power of Conrad was his reach. He had tentacles everywhere from politicians to gang members. He could get things done and he did. And his word was his bond. Conrad was instrumental in Harold Washington’s election as Chicago’s first Black mayor. Harold was a master politician, artful at having everybody involved working for his election, even though there might have been a quiet war going on behind the scenes. Harold was the conductor of the argument and made all feel special and exclusive. During the campaign, Conrad gave me my assignments and would call in the midnight hour to see if the work had been done. A real corporate general he was. I told him often, I don’t report to you, and he would say, but could you just tell me what you did. NO. We have known each other for many years. We have fought over issues, tactics and political decisions. We have had many choice words, from minute to major. Conrad loved a good fight and was always fighting with loads of surprises. In the last decade, we became reasonable friends, and then loving friends. While we have argued fiercely to the point of going to the wall and beyond, we were always for the same cause, but perhaps had different approaches or methodologies to reach the goal. I beat Conrad at a good game of politics often, to the point where he gained respect after we went at it. I gained his respect and he gained mine. We laugh now. Conrad's N'DIGO Gala Honor Dr. Wayne Watson Introducing Dr. Conrad Worrill at the 2011 N'DIGO Foundation Gala The N’DIGO Foundation honored Conrad in 2011 with the N'Community Award at our annual Gala. Conrad was shocked. We had a very long conversation where he said, “I didn’t think you liked me.” I said, “But I respect you and your work, I just get sick and tired of you telling me what to do! Let me honor you in my way and be happy.” He did and called every day to see how things were going with the Gala. He was so proud. I told him he had to wear a tuxedo that evening. And he resisted with might. I told him he would not be allowed to enter the Chicago Symphony Center if he did not have on his tux. He was nervous. But he arrived in the most stunning African robe that he said was his new tux. It was a memorable evening. I chased him all evening asking did he have on his tuxedo under the robe garb. And at the end of the evening, I told him he had to leave because he didn’t have a tux. (Smile!) Conrad argued with everybody about anything at all. If you have not had a Conrad cussing, you have not lived. We published our book N’DIGO Legacy: Black Luxe – 110 African-American Icons of Contemporary History two years ago and Conrad’s story is printed in its pages. I held a party to debut the book and present it to the subjects featured within. Conrad had no idea what he was attending, but I told him he had a real surprise coming and dared him to be late. He was skeptical about what I was doing, but came to the party for the presentation after I insisted. He was so surprised. He teared up. That night he stayed up-all-night reading the book and calling me all night every half hour as he read from his bed. The final call was to say he found a single mistake. I asked him to go to sleep and let’s talk in the morning. Bright and early I called to ask for his critique and comments on the book. I asked about the mistake, but he could not remember or find it again. Perhaps, Mr. Worrill, there is no mistake. He said, it just couldn’t be perfect. He promised to find a mistake, but he never did. His Track Legacy... Dr. Conrad Worrill with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and IL Rep. Bobby Rush For the past year or so, Conrad had been working on his autobiography. Conrad’s autobiography will be a powerful read with him having the very last word on a number of things that will reveal an interesting history. While he was a leader in this city for many years, he was also a student. Conrad loved his family. He was so proud to be his daddy’s son and a father to his daughters. He gave his father a fit with his strong will and uncompromising ways, but he always wanted to please him and he did. He was proud of his own family and talked about them constantly. He was a great storyteller, with quite the wit. Before Conrad passed, he called to talk in his final days. He touched my heart and I cried through the conversation as I paid astute attention. We prayed every morning with scheduled calls. I read to him positive-thinking scripture. The playing had stopped and the conversations were beyond real. He told me he loved me and that we still had work to do. As usual, he had instructions of work to be done. There was the track. He gave me my final assignment. Dr. Conrad Worrill with MWRD Vice President Barbara McGowan (2017) Dr. Conrad Worrill speaks during a "lunch-and-learn" series at Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago Dr. Conrad Worrill (in blue) with Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel and other supporters at the Gately Indoor Track groundbreaking. Conrad Worrill and community partners shovel the first soil of the new track and field at Gately Park near 103rd and Cottage Grove. Conrad’s crowning glory has been his last project. He has worked for the past 37 years on having a world-class track stadium built in Chicago. It is completed. Conrad made the track come about along with his dearest friend, Elzie Higginbottom, and wanted it to be called the Conrad Worrill/Elzie Higginbottom Track at its location on 103rd and Cottage Grove, Gatley Park. Governor Pat Quinn provided $10m to the track and Melody Hobson provided $20 million. The track will be housed in the same building as After School Matters. In a real way, it is Conrad’s gift to the city. That track will change young lives and produce Olympic runners, as was Conrad’s dream. Track stars in Chicago high schools for years have had to run through the hallways of their schools; Conrad wondered what would they could do if they had a full, state-of-the-art track at their disposal. This was his vision and his work for the past 37 years and he got it done. He saw it finished but didn’t get to see it open because of COVID-19. He arranged for Elzie Higginbottom to take me to see the track. He wanted my opinion. I saw the track a week before his passing. The track is magnificent. Conrad said, “I think it is the best in the world.” I think he is right. My last assignment was to get it named after him and we did. And he is so deserving. Alderman Michelle Harris, 8th Ward has requested Park District's Superintendent Michael Kelly and Mayor Lori Lightfoot to name the Park after Conrad Worrill. Dr. Conrad Worrill was a tiger who had fight and fight and fight. But underneath all of the gruff and cussing, he was a sweetheart, a man among men. I loved him and miss him already and Chicago is a better place because of him. For all that knew him and worked with him, we grew taller. YES, Conrad. Click Here to Order!
