Times Up!

Each one; Teach one

This is a message about population health. An unapologetic call for African Americans to “shape up!”

 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney recently stated at the World Economic Forum in Davos -  

 “If You’re Not at the Table, You’re on the Menu.” His message was directed toward the world’s so-called “middle power” nations — a warning that in a new era of global competition, those who fail to build collective power and strategic alignment will be exploited.

 I am directing a similar warning to Black people — all Black people, globally.

 If we are not actively uniting, organizing, and building collective capacity, then we are marinating — being prepared for consumption… again!

Let me be very clear. The time for explaining why Black unity is necessary has passed.

 If you still do not understand the historical, political, economic, and social reasons behind this, then unfortunately, you may never fully grasp them. For the youth,  especially those too young to know, I urge you: use your tools. Use social media. Study history inside and outside your family. Research our global condition. Learn why Black unity is not a suggestion — it is a requirement for survival.

 Unity, NOW!

 Forget petty disagreements. Erase artificial gang borders. Use your social-status cliques so that each one can teach one. Fragmented groups will be devoured. Small, isolated pockets will be erased. But a united African diaspora will survive.

A Direct Declaration

 As this work accelerates, I am making a direct declaration:

 I am your self-appointed champion for global Black population health.

This is not ego. This is not authoritarianism. This is responsibility.

I am simply offering a single point of coordination, so our efforts are not scattered, confused, diluted, or compromised. Meanwhile, I am working with physicians, scientists, professionals, and community leaders across the world — a closed parliament of Black leadership — focused entirely on advancing Black health, longevity, resilience, and global positioning.

 Those who engage will learn more. I am actually begging you to get off the sidelines, take this seriously and join committees and help me build. Even critics are welcome because their insight is helpful. Those who will; come on.

But make no mistake: we have already initiated mobilization, and time has already expired for explaining the need.

 Those ready to build are welcome. Those who still question why unity is required, I sincerely wish you clarity and protection.

A Call to Action

 So, ask yourself… what is your roll at the table? Are you “at the table” or marinating as part of the menu? As we build, if you wish to be part of this global movement, pre-register here:

We wish good health for all people, but we also understand the work needed in one of the most disparaged subpopulations. Our work is reproducible and the infrastructure is maturing. We will one day be able to offer a world a new, better way to good, sustainable health. I look forward to building our new world of health, power, and possibility — together.

What does all of this have to do with population health?

EVERYTHING!

So, stay tuned to me, and we’ll do more than survive this, we will thrive!
