Updates (June 12, 2026) Part 7

So you have to have your father around till the end of time.

…

So my father says to live modestly.

…

If I lived modestly, I would not think beyond him as the last boy in the family.

…

To understand your father is to study opposite to what he says so you get the knowledge to live to do your thing and understand him.

…

Things I learned from him.

…

If you act or dress really off, that draws attention, then that is no good.

There is a way coloured folk dress and act that is respectful in all cultures.

You might know it when you are young (old man stereotype) … but it is to be open to talking and getting old to mature so that you can give out everyday hard working wisdom but humble.

…

Just work. That is the thing of coloured folk that we can live with. When you are known at the worker bee in the hive no judgement on you.
