A MESSAGE FROM THE EDITORS We Thank You Thank you for supporting our seventh issue of Get This Wisdom Magazine! It is our sincere hope that we will be able to enlighten, elevate and stimulate the minds of those that cross our path and not only allow healing into our community, but also bridge the gaps between us all. We strive to create content that is relevant, relatable, cutting edge, and informative. Through this publication, we will be able to elevate the minds of our brothers, sisters, and children. We do not strive for perfection, but rather to be a vessel of illumination and truth in a dying world. We expect the best from ourselves, and hope that you will grow on this journey with us and through us. We expect that most of you will want to be a part of this beautiful ride. Before we continue, we would be remissed if we did not pay homage to the great mother, our ancestors, our freedom fighters and liberators. It is through you that we stand on our platform in truth and in honor. We acknowledge those who have lost their lives to pave the way fo us, so that we are able to live our truths and fight for freedom, justice, love and peace. We are here with you. We are grateful for your contributions and we will strive to do better each day because of you! May peace be upon your individual and collective soul journeys in the days, weeks, and years to come.
