New poem, first one of the year!
Searching For Self:
You will never find you in another person...
You will never find you chasing after other people's dreams...
You will never find you being jealous of someone else...
You will never find you speaking bad on someone's life you're not willing to help...
You will never find you blaming yourself for everything that happens wrong in your life...
You will never find you blaming someone else for things that go bad in your life...
You will never find you chasing after people who only respect you when they need something...
You will never find you if you're always wearing a mask...
You will never find you inebriated on anything all the time...
You will never find you if you are too afraid to be authentic with yourself.
Okay that's my vent for the day, happy New years if I didn't get to you and go out there and find yourself, cuz nobody's coming to save you... Most people don't even know who they are cuz they're too distracted chasing after everything else.
~ J Summers

Happy New Year, I may not be there with you but, I want you to know you did an awesome job this year and you should be proud of yourself. If nobody has told you today or the rest of the year, it's going to be okay you did your best and if you're going through troubling times let It go. I hope next year is more prosperous for you, more productive for you and you grow more than you ever have before. Also this does not mean stay in any situation that causes you trauma rather it be a job, a relationship, family even your very own work ethic... If something is causing you pain and dismissing your greatness than you do not need to be around it, please find a way out. If nobody has told you today you are awesome, you are loved, you are doing great and I believe in you.

Happy holidays to you and your family from me and my grandson Jasiahnator... His mom's nickname for him. Contemplated making a video, making some post, updating, doing a whole bunch of stuff but lately I'm enjoying my free time. I've earned it and I'm enjoying it although it is a little bit more boring than hopping on stages and doing holiday events and having audiences scream my name, I'm enjoying hearing it from family. The road owes me nothing, I ate every obstacle put before me and now I have a legacy with residuals I can teach him to grow and her to manage while I'm alive. Changes coming, I'm not going to disappear completely, but the absence will be noticed. I hope to see everyone at Kwanzaa tomorrow, I'm opening the ceremony and the first day libations, as I've been doing for the past 5 years to secretly hone my singing voice. If you weren't there you wouldn't know, but I'm enjoying that part of my life now... Can't be transparent forever cuz it takes time away from those who don't have forever with you. Love you all and I hope you're having a great holiday season 🎁🎁😁👍🏾🎅🏾🧙🏾‍♂️👣🚶🏾‍♂️🧘🏾‍♂️.

Textbook Publication Announcement for Arts Equity Collective!!!!

Holding the Circle: Community-Centered Support for Suicidal Youth is a culturally responsive, trauma-informed curriculum designed for anyone working with children and teens in crisis. Blending Arts Equity Collective’s K.C. Suicide Prevention Program’s evidence-aligned strategies with creative, arts-based tools, it equips educators, behavioral health specialists, and youth workers to support young people with clarity, compassion, and cultural humility while also helping professionals prevent burnout.

Inside, readers will find practical checklists, warning-sign guides, cyberbullying indicators, and crisis-response tools, including dedicated resources for American Indian and Alaskan Native communities. Activities such as Therapeutic Writing, mindfulness practices, grounding strategies, and visual-arts analysis help youth identify emotions, communicate more openly, and build skills for self-regulation and healing.

Featuring original artwork and writing from Alaska and beyond, this curriculum offers more than instruction; it offers connection, conversation, and hope. Holding the Circle empowers adults to create safer spaces, strengthen family communication, and support young people through their most vulnerable moments.

Publication #28!!! It's a textbook for students currently circulating through Cincinnati Ohio, and other school systems ✊🏾✍🏾📚💪🏾. I have two more submissions for anthologies that will be released in 2026, and I have five more independent books rough drafted out for release dates by 2035. My goal as of now is to be the most published author out of Toledo Ohio and I haven't even touched on children's books or Art collective books. One copy goes in my library where I have over 100 independent artist signed and autographed books, over this last decade outside of myself. Thank you MoPoetry Phillips for accepting three pieces of my work and I can't wait to read all of the other authors and creatives in this book. Also if you wanted to grab a copy she is your contact and I hope if you have a school system or Public Library you will work with her to get copies in your systems. The second copy goes to my daughter, who has personalized pieces of all my collection, and will be the only proprietor of everything I create.( Still ain't got no partner to leave anything too 🤷🏾‍♂️ ) I leave this legacy to her so she can show the world what Daddy did when I'm gone and pass them on to Future generations which one is already here. I guess my Creator really said congratulations on making it a decade and really showed out this year 😱. I have my community to thank and my willingness to never listen to anybody's advice that don't live it themselves. I like learning from people, I don't want to be the best or be in competition with anyone because it's supposed to inspire the world, not make it more closed in. I don't know what I've been doing for my next magic trick, but it feels like clothing going in stores 🤐 ( spoilers ). Anyway, I know the world looks rough right now, but I hope you find some solace in continuing to try and not be defeated by others doubt.
