Bold Medicine

I initially read this book 5 years ago...it changed my life-it changed my entire thought process, I see nothing but beauty in ALL black people, even those of us still lost. I can see clearly now, and this book prompted me to seek further to educate my self and my family. I just re-read it last week, it's like a tentanus shot, it's a bit painful, but necessary to protect you against the rabid dogbite in the ass that this ill structured society is content to give you. I have passed this book on to the most die-hard gangsta brothers and the most die hard corporate brothers then sat back and listened to the conversations and experienced the change. Beautiful. Akil states firmly that he is still a student of these works, his humble yet hardcore approach is just the jumpstart that is needed for our children, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters...if you are a person of color, you should read this book, with an open mind and willing heart. I'm on my second reading of "From Niggas To Gods Part 2" and I'm picking up a third book directed towards me..a black sista. The beautiful thing is, I'm no longer afraid to make a diffrence in my community, I am an activist and an advocate for social change within the black community... with less leaders and more workers (Read "The Mis-Education of the Negro by "Carter G. Woodson") we will put ourselves back together. My 15 year old son is currently reading this book, and I see him smiling and contemplating, he asks pertinent questions and it is THE FIRST BOOK I have ever witnessed him pick up voluntarily...and that, my people, is a future "worker for the cause". This book is a must have for every book shelf...hell put it on your coffee table and just get the conversation started...

All black men and woman should read this book

This was the first book that I have ever read front to back. I think I'm going to read it again. After I read this I realized how powerful and beautiful black people are. I would recommend that all of our people read this book. Brother Akil speaks the truth and I look forward to buying more of his books.

Every Black High School Student Should Read This Book

Every young Black male or female should read this book. If it were my choice, I would have this book as part of a school curriculum in every Black high school. The reason is because a lot of young Black males who are hard to reach have a militant attitude and this book is able to spark the minds of those militant youth. I love reading this book and I'm always anxious to recommend it to any fellow brother who's in a gang or in prison, because they really really need this information that's in this book.

I thought akil's work is very thought provoking!!!

Akil has showed and taught me some things that I didn't know about myself. akil breaks down the "bitch" word, and also the "N"-word as well. He enlightned my soul to the point of self observation of my whole self. I highly recommend these books to the youth,especially the mis-guided!!

This Book Is A "Rebirth" For The Lost And Deceived.

Wow! (This Book Left Me Breathless) And Searching For More To Read...So I Ordered Part 2. (Escaping Niggativity And Becoming God). Bro. Akil's Clear And Direct Approach Was Easy To Feel And Understand. His Insight On The Past, Present, And Future Makes The Reader Grasp Every Word As Though His Life Depended On It (And It Do).Its Clear In His Writings That He Has Deep Studies In Some Of The Ancient Masters That Have Taught (The Mystery System, Mathematics, Science, History, Astronomy, ext)... Although He Uses An Overkill With The Word Nigga...Its Necessary Because That Is How We As Black Youth Talk...He Did Not Write This Book In A Shakespearian Way.He Wrote It So The Reader That Reads It, Know It Was For Them By One Of Them... As Bro. Akil's Puts It "If No One Will Teach, Love, And Guide Us, Then We Will Teach, Love, And Guide Our Selve --If My House Was To Burn Down Today...I Will Make Sure That "From Niggas to Gods" Pt. 1 and 2, Be The First Books I Retrieve Upon My Escape...Because It Has Most Definetly Helped Me To Burn Down The Niggativity And Escape Back Into The Likeness Of God.Sometimes The Truth Hurts....But It's All Good In The End.Peace. And May The Blessing Of Truth Be Upon You After Reading "From Niggas To God"
