Welcome traveler! This is an ask blog for an AvA/M AU I created called the âSanctuary AUâ.
Hereâs a link to the story AO3 & Tumblr versions
This ask blog will be a parallel to that story. Some events will either be referenced, may take place, or may never happen at all. Your asks will drive the plot!
Of course there are some guidelines;
Be respectful of everyone, from fellow travelers and the spirits in the garden.
I will not do anything NSFW. This is not the place for that.
You can send as many asks as you want.
Your OCs are allowed (will possibly draw them if I do any events)
The characters you can ask are as follows;
Gold
Orchid
Five
Ajax
Dandi
Razz
Bel
Rico
Aster
As the blog get more popular, Iâll add more characters you guys can talk to.
If I think of anything else, Iâll add it to this post. But besides that, have fun, and enjoy your time in the garden!đđđ

In the recent episode, Ava and Tariq shared a scene together, razzing on Janine. I could only think, what if they became a couple? Did anyone else get that vibe? Or am I Emma Woodhouse here concocting crazy matches?

I have somehow found myself back in the AvA/AvM fanbase. So much so that I redrew my old OC.
Thatâs Razzberry. Razz for short. Razz uses She/They pronouns. Uh, Iâm not sure what else to say about them. But theyâre existing.

Beyond this Existence, chapter 16
Summary:Â After Xehanort's death, Demyx finds himself unexpectedly human in Radiant Garden. With nothing but fragments of his past and a cryptic statement from Xemnas, he's left to figure out who he is. When Ienzo asks for his help with a project, the two find common ground, but the trauma and secrets in both of their pasts could tear it apart. Zemyx (Demyx/Ienzo), post-KH3 canon compliant
Read it on FF.net/ on AO3

Excerpt of an audio recording from device 5.875.32.852 (admin is registered as EVEN [surname REDACTED]. Transcription programs recognize the speaking voice of the admin as well as one other distinct voice. Transcription errors due to colloquialisms, slang, accent, muffled speech, etc. are acknowledged and will be used in further evolutions of this program.
Recording commences at 16:03.
--I hope you do not mind that I am recording this. I assure you any we can redact any exceedingly personal information. This is for my edification only. I would never dream of letting it fall into unsavory hands.
--Uh. Sure.
--Can you state your name and age in its entirety?
--Yeah. Iâm [birth name and surname REDACTED]. I still go by Demyx. Iâm twenty-two.
--Thatâs your name? Thatâs not what I thought.
--Yeah, well. It seems like Iâm full of surprises. I donât care who knows it, but it doesnât seem to fit right anymore. You know?
--I suppose. So. Can you tell me what you remember, as far back as you can, as comfortably as you can?
--Iâll try.
----
These memories donât feel like mine.
Itâs weird. I guess itâs more like Iâm reading a book, or watching a movie.
âItâ started, if by it you mean all this Keyblade crap, when I was five. I was my parentsâ only kid. We were broke. Like, squatting and going to soup kitchens broke. There were the early days, when the Foretellers--the five chosen ones or whatever--were just building their unions and preaching about their ideas in the plaza. Iâm honestly not sure if they were the first wielders, but they were definitely the ones that made it a thing, That promised this as the way to seek the light.
Heartless started coming--from the future, or so they said in the square. We needed a way to defend ourselves. So they started testing people for worthiness. Kids were always easier. Less corrupt. More full of light.
More manipulable.
They said they would take the kids from more troubled circumstances, and give them what they needed to survive. In my parentsâ eyes, food and a place to live. The luckier ones could stay at home. So that caused a big influx of poor people sending their kids in to be tested and trained. While some of the better off ones saw it as a sign of honor, everyone else wanted to keep their kids safe. Even the ones with Keyblades were dying.
My parents figured Heartless were better than me starving to death. So they sent me, by myself, for the test.
The older ones could pick their unions, but the real little ones like me they chose a more âorganicâ approach. They take you inside, and there the Foretellers are with a little table of five toys. Apparently picking one shows some intrinsic quality theyâre looking for, or whatever. I got chosen to be in Ursus. And just like that, my mom and dad hugged me goodbye and left me there.
It was hard. Physically, mentally. I missed my parents. The training was grueling, and it hurt. But whenever I would cry or get upset either Master Aced or one of the older kids would tell me to be quiet. Because I was lucky. And I had a chance to be something.
But you see, Even, it doesnât matter how lucky I was. I was still getting razzed by Heartless, getting thrown in and out of time to these worlds, getting reprimanded for bunging off quests or not getting enough lux. I got kicked out of a few parties for that. Making friends wasnât so easy when I got a reputation for being a crybaby and a coward, even though I was six or seven.
I still tried to see my parents when I got a chance. They moved around a lot. Dad tried to get steady work a few times, but I think he had some kind of mental illness or something, and he could never be on time, or do what he was told, or get out of bed, so they lost their apartments a lot. Mom was a street musician, and she took in students sometimes, but it wasnât enough money.
She taught me, too.
Compared to Keyblade stuff, music was so easy. I was so good at it. Knowing I wasnât terrible at everything gave me strength to go on. I had a way to take all the bad feelings, all the nightmares, and make something beautiful out of it.
I tried to quit the union.
You wouldnât believe the telling off Master Aced gave me. âWhy was I ashamed of my heritageâ. âWhy wasnât I doing my part.â âWhat did I think I would become otherwise, I came from the gutter.â It was devastating. Without the Keyblade, they said, I was worthless. I didnât want to believe that was true.
As the years passed, and this all kept happening, I tried to study music on the side. Thatâs when I started keeping the diary. I wrote these weird avant-garde compositions, but that wasnât enough to salve the pain. So I wrote how I felt, and if anybody found it, Iâd just say it was nonsense. But nobody did, though. During that time the tensions between the unions started to grow, mostly over who was getting the most light. Kids were fighting in the streets. Killing each otherâs Chirithys--thatâs how I lost mine. Even the most legendary parties fell apart. People were still dying.
One of these days, when I was almost seventeen, I was going back to the dorms after another quest. Master Ava--Vulpesâs leader--stopped me. She said sheâd heard about me, and I braced myself for another lecture like the ones Aced liked to give. But it was my focus on the bigger picture of my life she liked, she said. She wanted me to join a special union she was building.
The Dandelions.
The reason she built this union was because she feared there would soon be war between the others, and that war would escalate to apocalyptic proportions. Remember, weâd all been training for years at that point, we all had way overpowered magic--even me. But because we had no foresight as to anything other than collecting lux, nobody could see the consequences of fighting.
She was going to take this special union, and she was going to teach us how to escape this world altogether, just to make sure somebody survived.
I know youâre probably dying to know how we did it, but I honestly canât remember. It was some kind of spell, for sure. I know that each of us cast it, and we were all supposed to go together. But itâs one of those things too slippery and powerful to hold onto for long. Not to mention, this travel was supposed to wipe our memories of the trauma and give us a fresh start. So she said.
The war started earlier than expected. The only reason I went to the battle was to find the other Dandelions so we could leave. But Iâm not sure if I missed a memo or something. They were gone. Then again, there were so many bodies that had been just so completely fucking destroyed that they could have been some of these people.

[Audio muffled or indiscernible; external knowledge of social cues suggests emotional distress.]
People were just fucking killing each other. They⊠they tried to kill me, too. I remember Keyblades hitting my armor and I panicked. And I guess instinctively I cast the spell and got out. Got somewhere, or I guess some when is the better word. I ended up in the same place, just later, surrounded by all these rusting Keyblades, my memories completely cleaved and running through my fingers like sand. I remember that, feeling it all drain away like a dream.
Thatâs when Xemnas found me. When things started to hurt. The shock and the armor made it hard to tell, but someone had stabbed me clean through the chest.
He was nice to me, too. He said heâd been waiting for me and that I was going to be okay. He could give me purpose. My wounds would heal.
I died, and Demyx was born. Memory-free.
You know the rest.
End recording, duration--25:17.
----
âGoodness gracious. â Like a child listening to their favorite story, heâd been leaning forward attentively. Heâd even started recording it on his gummiphone, which Demyx initially felt was a violation of his privacy. But considering how close-lipped Vexen had always been about his experiments, he knew, if anything, his words would be safe in Evenâs hands. âThis is a window into our history.â
âYours, maybe.â
âYou simply must tell me more about these Foretellers. How is this organization structured? What was their training regimen like? Who was their leader--did they have a leader?â
âIt's a lot to talk about." His throat was dry from talking for so long.
Even exhaled. He paused the recording. âI suppose youâre right. Of course you must be very tired. Itâs been a long day.â
âYeah. Yeah, I would say so.â
A beat of silence.
âThank you for sharing this with me,â Even said. âI realize⊠it is not easy. Especially given our past relationship.â
âLike you said. Forgiveness.â
He nodded once, curtly. âWould you like something to help you sleep?â
âI think Iâll be okay. But thanks.â
âWell. Donât get too used to it.â
Demyx looked at him. He didnât know how else to be kind, Demyx realized. It must take immense effort. âWake me up if anything changes with Ienzo,â he said. âPlease.â
âYou can be sure of it.â
----
The next several days, he felt utterly hollow. Demyx slept a lot. This was a sort of mental exhaustion. He was afraid to stray too far away from Ienzoâs side, but his condition remained unchanged. Guilt clung to him. He wasnât really sure what to do with himself. He cleaned his room, which took all of ten minutes considering his lack of possessions. Did laundry. Found a couple books to read which werenât half bad. It was a toxic combination of boredom and stagnation. At the end of the first week of this, Dilan asked him to come play cards.
âI figure you could use a bit of a diversion,â he said. He offered a smile.
âI guess Iâm being pretty pathetic, huh,â Demyx said. He forced a laugh.
âGiven the circumstances? No. But wallowing must be horrifically boring.â
Dilanâs quarters were even smaller than Evenâs. He and Aeleus shared a sitting room and kitchenette. A faint smell of garlic lingered in the room, along with something like eucalyptus. He had a small herb garden, each one meticulously cared for. Near this was a pile of puzzle boxes.
Dilan took out a pack of cards. Demyx sat gingerly on the couch. It was less stern than the other furniture, a bit more comfortable, a soft velor that felt good to touch. He was becoming increasingly reliant on the tactile to stay grounded. He didnât know if this was one of his myriad issues, or an effect of being overwhelmed.
Dilan crossed to a small glass cabinet. âWould you like a drink?â
âGod. Yes.â
He poured them each a few fingers of whiskey into small crystal glasses. It burned when Demyx sipped it, but he liked it. âWhat shall we play? Itâs a shame weâve no third. Iâd rather have liked to play Blackjack.â
âItâs not like I have anything to bet.â
âToo, too true.â
They settled on Hearts. Demyx didnât know what to say to Dilan. After winning the first game, Dilan got them another drink.
âIâm not sure how I feel about your newfound reticence,â Dilan said. âItâs so odd, to see how humanity has changed you youth.â
âHow so?â
âYou were hardly ever so reserved. Ienzo was never so friendly. You should have heard him, chattering away to Sora. ...Iâm sorry.â
âIt doesnât bother me. To hear his name. Either of them, I mean.â He felt only a shadow of the ping of anxiety he got when thinking about Sora. Of course, knowing what he knew now, it made sense that Soraâd had to strike him down. Psychically, there were bigger fish to fry.
âYouâve got a focus to you. An intensity. Itâs like youâre more present.â
âI donât feel very present.â
âWell. Weâve all received some shocks recently.â
The alcohol was making him warm and a little dizzy. Demyx wasnât sure whether or not he liked the sensation. He slipped off his shoes and pulled his feet up under him. âWhy did you become an apprentice?â
Dilan thought for a moment, shuffled his cards, and then drank down the remainder of his whiskey in one swallow. âWhy indeed,â he muttered. âI was only a boy at the time, a bit younger than yourself. I needed something to do with my life. Iâd always liked creating things. Building things. Ansem had passed some initiatives to make Radiant Garden a haven for the sciences. I applied to study engineering under him, and was accepted.â
âJust like that?â
âJust like that.â He chuckled. âWhy did you choose to become a Keyblade wielder?â
âI didnât,â Demyx said. âIt chose me. I was poor. Being a wielder was pretty much the only way to survive.â
âI abhor such economies,â Dilan said sourly. âI cannot understand how some leaders will let their charges suffer for basic human rights.â
âI canât really have a realized perspective of it. I was still a kid when I left.â
âWhat will you do now?â
âWhat will I⊠do?â Demyx repeated numbly. âFrankly, I didnât think Iâd get this far.â
âYou and I both.â
He continued to pet the velor. He was feeling dizzier still, and heavy. âI want to be with Ienzo,â he said. âAnd I want to make friends. Real ones. But I donât know where Iâd fit.â
âWhatâs that old adage? âBe yourself?ââ
âHasnât exactly worked in the past.â
âIt is a theory of mine that becoming a Nobody worsens oneâs flaws and insecurities.â Dilan poured them another drink. âOur personalities devolved and repelled. Fed by darkness. Take your time. Be honest. Thatâs all.â
Demyx picked up the crystal cup and swirled the amber liquid around a little. âI guess.â
âWhat about that guitar of yours?â
âSitar?â
âYes. That.â
âI donât know,â he said. âBut Iâll find out.â
---
The next day, it sleeted. The echo of the splotches of snow piling up outside was audible within the confines of the castle. Demyx went to the library, armed with a cup of coffee. He lit a fire in the hearth. Once it was large enough to tend to itself, he sat down cross legged in front of it.
For some reason he was nervous. This was akin to stage fright. Heâd much rather be worthy of Arpeggio than the stupid Keyblade.
Demyx held out his hands and pulled from within. The Keyblade appeared. He sighed. âI donât want you,â he muttered. Let it disappear. He remembered the way the sitar had felt, the perfect weight of it, the smooth varnished wood.
Keyblade again. Demyx had to resist the urge to just toss the damn thing. He stared down at it. Traced the smooth shaft, twisted the links of the chain.
âPlease,â he said to it. âI donât want to fight. I just want--â
Not to be an idiot talking to an inanimate object?
Vanishing. Reappearing. It didnât matter how long he thought about his Nobody memories, of all the music heâd ever made with Arpeggio. Of the fights or occasionally lack thereof.
âAre you mad at me?â Demyx asked out loud. âI didnât ask for this to all happen.â
Hadnât he?
Oh, we do too have hearts. Donât be mad.
âShut up,â he hissed at himself.
The fire popped as a log settled, startling him.
âIs it because Iâm not him anymore?â he continued. âIâm still the sa-- no. Iâm not.â
Demyx lay back on the plush carpet.
Remembering death was not easy. Doubly hard now that he knew it wasnât the first time heâd been slain with Keyblades. Some of them were sharp, most blunt. Youâd crush your ribs before you drew blood. Which was what happened. He rested his palm on the spot were the scars were.
Sora, Donald, Goofy. So much rage. Realization that this was a murder-suicide. He was able to pin Sora twice before the pain was too much. Before fading. Before waking up. Before Braig, with a soft smile, and a boy with silver hair, and a hot stab to the chest. What would have happened, really, if he hadnât been turned into a vessel? What would he have done? Run away? Spent his life friendless, unloved and alone?
Without Ienzo?
He needed connections. Without them he could never hope to be whole--at least, figuratively. He had to do better. To be better. But how? Fancy displays of heroism were functionally worthless if there was no real intent behind them.
Demyx stood. Despite it all, he sort of had an idea.
----
The winter coat he had was warm enough, but it was not quite waterproof, and by the time heâd waded through the slop he was damp and chilly. When he reached the door of the committeeâs headquarters, though, a knot of anxiety overrode his physical discomfort. Demyx stood for several moments at the door as wet snow piled on his hat, unsure of what to say. Several times he reached up to knock and withdrew his hand. He had barely placed his palm on the doorknob before it opened of its own accord.
ââCouldâve finished War and Peace in the time it took you to make up your mind,â a middle-aged blond man said gruffly. âCome on in, kid.â He was smoking a cigarette, and its smell mixed with the ambient woodsmoke. âDonât think weâve formally met. Iâm Cid.â He offered his hand. âSaw you unconscious, but I donât think you remember that.â
âNot--exactly--â Demyx shook his hand.
âLet me take your jacket before you get snow everywhere.â He took the wet garments and hung them on a coat rack.
âItâs warm in here,â Demyx said, half in wonder. He was so used to the drafty castle that heâd forgotten what adequate heating felt like.
Cid raised an eyebrow. ââCourse it is.â
âItâs, um, the castle. Heatingâs not very good.â
âI imagine it wouldnât be.â
A beat passed. Demyx felt his anxiety rising and floundered for things to say.
âIâm guessing youâre here for Aerith?â Cid asked. He stubbed out the cigarette in an ashtray.
âWell. Sort of. I want to help.â
âWith what,â he said blankly.
âAnything. I mean I--â Demyx could feel himself turning red.
âIn the middle of winter?â
He bit his lip and looked down.
Cid chuckled. âIâm messing with you, kid. Weâre always happy to have an extra pair of hands. Any of yaâll got a sense of humor over there?â
âLetâs just say itâs been a tough week,â Demyx said.
âIâll say. Weatherâs been driving us mad. I finally kicked out Yuffie and Leon to get some peace and quiet.â
â...Er. Sorry about that.â
He shrugged. âIâm sure one or both of them will be back soon. They know a bit more about the operations stuff than I do. Why donât you have a seat?â
Demyx perched in one of the folding chairs. Cid sat back down at a computer and began absently writing code. He wondered if he should say something. Anything. Ask questions. He kept his hands knotted in his lap.
A door he hadnât noticed previously opened, and out came Aerith, drying her hands on a towel. âDemyx? What are you doing here? Is everything okay?â
âFine--well, enough. Iâm here to help.â
She crossed over a plant on the table and cut off a few of its leaves. âCanât do a whole lot in the winter other than plan, unfortunately.â
âWhat are you doing with those?â
âMaking medicine.â She nodded her head towards the other room. âWant to see?â
He followed her. It was a small, narrow room, with a cot up against one wall. The other wall was lined with cabinets and some counter space. A few different types of dried leaves and blooms were stuffed in the myriad little drawers. She took the leaves, scattered them into mortar. To Demyx, the mix looked like a salad more than a medicine. She crushed it down, whispered a spell, and then with an odd little device began packing it into capsules. âPectin,â she explained. âGoes down easier than the raw leaves. And doesnât get stuck in your throat.â Â She held up the tiny pill so he could see.
âWhat does it do?â Demyx asked.
âCold cure,â she said simply. âWe need lots of it this time of year. And colds always change. Iâm forever tweaking it.â
A memory he hadnât fully process washed in. Heâd never been the best fighter in any of his parties, often left to provide background support. The spells then heâd used had been barbaric in comparison, but at least it kept people alive.
âWhen did you learn how to do all this stuff?â he asked. He was feeling odd.
âOh, ever since I was a kid,â she said. âMy mom and grandma before me were healers. They sorta taught me what I know now. And Iâm also teaching myself.â
âDo you think itâs possible for someone else to learn?â
She crushed more herbs. âIâm sure it is. Itâs magic like anything else.â
âWhat about--say--me?â
Aerith turned slightly. She appraised him.
âIâve been wanting to help people and I donât know how. You saved me. You saved Ienzo. I canât do science, and Iâm not a good fighter. But I have a good memory.â He considered the irony of that statement. But heâd always been good at memorizing.
âItâs a long road. This isnât something you can do halfway. Peopleâs lives could be at stake. But you know that.â She smiled a little. Tapped her forehead. âYouâve been through a lot in your life. Seen a lot of suffering.â
âHavenât we all,â he said dryly.
âThatâs⊠right.â She dusted off her hands. âItâs not that I donât trust you, or believe you can do it. But youâve gotta have a certain kind of tenacity. An ingenuity. Tell you what. Why donât you read some base healing theory? Thereâs no way Ansem doesnât have books about it. If that doesnât send you running for the hills, we can talk.â She winked.
Demyx nodded. âOkay. Sounds good.â
âGood luck.â
He stood.
âWas that the answer you needed?â she asked.
âI think it was.â
----
A week or so passed. He tried to do what Aerith said, and study. But Demyx had never been the most studious, and almost everything he learned sans the very basics heâd learned in the field. He spent these minutes and hours alternating between the text and the dictionary. Why were academics such bad writers?
Sometimes he studied near Ienzo, sometimes he didnât. Ienzo slept and slept and slept. Demyx could feel the utter lack of presence like a missing tooth. Honestly, being around him and not being able to talk to him was nearly painful.
During one of these marathon reading sessions, Even came in to check Ienzoâs vitals, as he did several times each day. âEKG activity is still fairly limited. But improving. He must be dreaming.â
âAbout what?â Demyx asked.
âIâve no idea. ...What is that?â He reached town and felt at Demyxâs temperature. âAre you quite alright?â
Demyx sighed, marked his place in the book, and shut it. âIâm studying. Sue me.â
âBut why?â
He drummed his fingers on the desk. âYouâre just going to make fun of me.â
âI will⊠not,â Even said with great restraint.
Demyx raised an eyebrow.
âI must admit I am still getting used to the new you. Tell me. I will withhold judgement.â
âIâm thinking of learning to heal. Like. The magic.â He braced himself.
Even didnât laugh. âReally? Why is that?â
âI want to help people. And this seems like something I can actually do.â He sighed. âI hate feeling helpless. If I can help someone not feel that way, itâd be nice. You know.â
âI admit I never put much stock in such magic initially. But seeing how that woman has cared for the two of you, Iâm starting to change my mind.â
âDo you think I can do it?â
Even considered this. âYou had a fairly potent magical ability in the Organization. I donât see why not.â
âYou donât think Iâm too stupid?â
He scowled. âI find it stupid that you hold my opinion in such high esteem.â Then, softening. âAs you said. Youâre not a scientist. But that really has little to do with practical intelligence.â He picked up the tome. âIâd be glad to help you, should you so want it. These arenât exactly light reading. Itâd be convenient to have another pair of hands.â He picked up another bag of saline. âWell. If youâre so interested, I might as well teach you how to do this much.â He showed Demyx how to change the IV and how to take base vitals. âIâm hoping we wonât need to do this for too much longer. But thatâs all up to him.â Even patted Ienzoâs head.
âI miss him.â He felt tears in his eyes.
âAs do I,â Even said softly. âCome. Are you hungry?â
---
The more Demyx studied, the more his memories became clearer. In those first shocked days, it had been hard to focus on any memory for very long. Now, not so much.
Heâd been a healer then, but not a very good one. Heâd still been a coward. More than once someone had gotten egregiously hurt because he hadnât been willing to step up. Heâd been kicked out of multiple parties that way.
He didnât want to be a coward. It was time to be mature; a grown up. Deal with grown up things in a grown up way. Donât run. Face it. The hurt will be over that much faster.
For the first time, he tried to summon the Keyblade because he wanted to. But that wasnât what happened. Instead of cool metal, there was warm, varnished wood. Familiar. Well-worn. He held the sitar tenderly. Cried a bit out of relief.
He was still, despite it all, himself.

The Adventures of David Dashiki-Story of an African American Hero- To Empower Young Black Men- Effort Brings Reward
DAVID DASHIKI- HERO
THE GRADUATION GIFT
I am so grateful for this final year in junior high school. I have grown so much. I have learned even more. The graduation ceremony was magnificent. O I know all of you were happy that Anita was honored with her selection as the valedictorian. Her speech... â âAND STILL WE RISE...â Raised the roof, brought tears, laughter and applause for my girl. .WE beat our competition in basketball,but they crushed us in track. It was a slaughter. I couldnât leave my house for about a week. Those Ramblers from the neighboring J H S teased me, razzed me to death. I survived. Now, I leave for greener pastures as they say. Debbie Dashiki took so many pictures that my jaws began to hurt,. It was a long, joyful day. parts of which escape me. I was just staring at Anita. She was alluring. The sweetness flowed from her like sugar. Parents and friends encircled her to express their congratulations and ask for copies of the speech. After, an hours of that , I walked home with my parents. I did not hook up with Anita until some days later.
Daddy Dashiki congratulated me several days later and said that the tradition in the family was to treat the graduate to a special dinner at a luxurious restaurant. This year would be different. Only the two of us would be attending the event. WE would dine at KASHIâS...An upscale restaurant in Nassau County, New York. WOW !. .Just two men talking....
David...You have made me very proud. I have never had one ounce of problems with you from a small child. No drugs...No Discipline.... No complaints from school. Tears began to form in his eyes. I started to sniffle. There we sat like two old fools, blubbering. I know that I have been preaching the power of education to you for many years. Well , not just education , but medicine. All parents want a doctor in the family. it is a sign of scholarship, determination and dedication. Surely, it is a blessing for the child. However, I realize now that the goal of physician was more for me and Debbie than a desire of yours. Therefore, (he rose from his seat and made a grand gesture toward the heavens), today I release you from my personal hopes and free you to make your own choice...with this admonition...You must complete your college education after high school. The choice of a future occupation is totally yours. From that promise, goal, I will never ask you to surrender. Whereas,I have adjusted my sights on career selection,I noted one thing , well these things, about our people in America. Our careers are not involved as we might be in Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Insurance companies, Credit Card companies. Banks, Pharmaceuticals. It is not an accident that certain ethnic groups fill the ranks of the police force, sanitation, the postal service, education , medicine and law. I want you to rethink your future profession and just consider for the journey ahead...REAL ESTATE...COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE.
I am an ardent fan of the TV show, âMillion Dollar Listingâ Englund, the star of the program, has made millions as a real estate broker. Ryan, another broker, is buying a brokerage in Brooklyn, He has already secured developer clients who possess over 100 developments in Brooklyn for him to sell. Steve, yet another broker and former model, in this year alone has sold over $200 millions dollars in real estate. There is not one African American star on the program. Great!!! You could be that person, that star, that visionary...Some might say the program is racist. I see it as an opportunity for my son. You have the gifts to excel in any industry. In this field, you could excel and break down some barriers. If you so desire, and you donât have to decide now. In the interim, we prepare... I suggest you and I form a business our selves, a training ground for you especially. We gather some of your friends and study, â Shark Tank, The Profit and Million Dollar Listingâ. Through our honest efforts , we will see if this is something that interests you. These 3 programs will confer on you a doctorate degree. and will secure for a future in which you can employ thousands.
We have athletes, but we donât own the teams. We have doctors, but we rarely own the hospitals. WE have many movie stars, but we donât own the studios or the theatres. When you own something, you do as Robert F. Smith did at his Morehouse keynote address...pay the studentsâ bills, loans, costs, expenditures for the entire graduating class. When you own something , you can depict more beautifully the Black experience in America like Oprah and Ava in Queen Sugar. When you own something, you can provide for your own and not have your life depend upon who is president. You can drive cars produced by your people, fly your own planes,create an entirely new world That is my hope for you, my son. What ever you decide to do with your life...OWN IT!
My brain was spinning. Daddy Dashiki was really dropping some knowledge. He ordered 2 glasses. I WAS GOING TO HAVE A DRINK WITH MY DAD. What the fuck!!! I had rarely seen him drink. He made a toast to me. This is your time. Relish the occasion and the opportunity. I thank you for allowing to be your father. I have been blessed that you listened to my sage advice and counsel. Well, I thought it was astute. We did not always agree, but, you gave me the courtesy of your ear. God bless you, my son ! Drink up !  VOTE   COLLEGE  OWN PROPERTY IN AMERICA
