“History Recognized. Humanity Tested.”

The recent resolution passed by the United Nations General Assembly, declaring the trafficking of enslaved Africans as “the gravest crime against humanity,” marks a powerful and long-overdue acknowledgment of one of the darkest chapters in human history. It is a moment rooted in truth, accountability, and the preservation of global memory.

At the same time, it is both disheartening and telling that three nations opposed this resolution, while fifty-two chose to abstain. In a moment that called for moral clarity and unified recognition, hesitation and resistance cannot be ignored. History is not something we selectively acknowledge—it is something we must fully confront.

This is why the work matters.

Understanding our ancestors—their struggles, their resilience, their contributions—is not optional. It is essential. Their stories are not just history; they are the foundation of identity, culture, and collective progress.

At Jojo’s Ventures, this is the mission. To ensure that these stories are not lost, overlooked, or erased—but instead preserved, shared, and experienced. Through every tour, every narrative, and every step taken through the streets of New York City, we honor those who came before us and empower those who will carry the torch forward.

Because knowledge of self is knowledge of life—and our history deserves to be known, told, and lived.

I recently had the honor of being featured on , where I shared my journey, the legacy of my ancestors, and the passion behind Jojo’s Ventures.

We talked about the importance of preserving our stories, uplifting our history, and continuing the work of Black History storykeepers through immersive cultural experiences.

This is exactly why Jojo’s Ventures exists — to bring our history to life, one story, one neighborhood, and one experience at a time.

"The mere imparting of information is not education.”

In 1926, Carter G. Woodson established Negro History Week—planting the seed for what we now recognize as Black History Month. His vision went far beyond memorization; it was about understanding, ownership, and responsibility.

In June 2020, I had the opportunity to visit Dr. Woodson’s former home and pay homage.

Six years later, the deliberate attempts to remove and disregard our history in real time are not only discouraging, but a reminder of why our role as storykeepers matters.

Knowledge alone is not enough. History must be shared, spoken, and passed forward. If we do not tell our stories, someone else will—and they may not tell them truthfully, or at all.

I encourage everyone to use this month not only to learn, but to share, document, and archive the histories of your families, elders, and ancestors.

Let’s continue to be the storykeepers.

I’m honestly at a loss for words—but in the best way possible!

The Black Travel Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil was everything I hoped for and so much more!

Huge thanks to and for curating such a powerful space for Black travelers to connect, grow, and celebrate culture together.

I’m beyond grateful for the surreal memories, new connections, and future opportunities. Already looking forward to next year’s summit!”

Peace and Life✊🏿

Mek di Ancestors dem protect yuh!

In April 2019, I had the unforgettable opportunity to visit the homeland of my maternal grandfather for the very first time.

My grandfather, Rudolph Alexander Landon, was born in Jamaica more than 120 years ago. Though he passed away just months after I was born, I made it my mission to reconnect with the Caribbean roots that helped shape who I am today.

The people of Jamaica welcomed me with warmth, pride, and love — a reminder that heritage lives on through the spirit of community. I’m sending nothing but positive vibrations to the island and its people as they prepare to weather this storm with strength and grace.

A Legacy of Unity and Purpose:

On October 16, 1995, the National Mall became the stage for one of the most powerful gatherings in American history. The Million Man March brought together nearly two million Black men in a unified call for self-discipline, responsibility, and renewal.

Organized by Minister Louis Farrakhan and supported by civil rights leaders, educators, and spiritual figures, the march challenged negative stereotypes and inspired men to recommit themselves to family, faith, and community building.

The power of that day was not in protest alone, but in purpose — a moment of reflection, prayer, and promise. It showed the world that unity could be peaceful yet profound and that the strength of the Black community rests in its shared vision for a better tomorrow.

Thirty years later, we honor not just the march, but the movement it inspired — one rooted in healing, legacy, and the ongoing pursuit of justice and equality.

Seventy years ago, Jackie Gleason introduced America to Ralph and Alice Kramden — a Brooklyn bus driver and his sharp-witted wife whose tiny apartment and big dreams captured the heart of the nation. Premiering in 1955, The Honeymooners gave working-class life a voice rarely seen on television at the time. Its quick-fire humor, heartfelt moments, and timeless catchphrases like “Baby, you’re the greatest!” turned the series into an instant classic.

On this 70th anniversary, we honor not just the comedy, but the cultural impact — a show born from Jackie Gleason’s own Brooklyn upbringing that reminded audiences everywhere of resilience, love, and laughter in the face of everyday struggle. Decades later, Ralph and Alice still feel like neighbors we know, and their stories continue to inspire both nostalgia and new generations of fans.

"I’m very happy with this new record. It’s dealing with different aspects of love-it’s me making a statement about people doing something with their lives. It is about caring for others."
-Barry White

Released in 1982, Barry White’s Change marked a pivotal chapter in his career—a moment of reinvention after the disco era and a reaffirmation of his artistry. With lush orchestration and heartfelt vocals, the album carries timeless messages of love, unity, and the courage to embrace new beginnings.

More than just a collection of songs, Change reflects White’s resilience and creative spirit, reminding listeners that music can guide us through life’s transitions with both strength and grace.

A Night for Mr. Showbiz: Sammy Davis Jr.'s 60th Anniversary Tribute (1990)

In 1990, a dazzling all-star tribute celebrated the legendary Sammy Davis Jr.'s 60 years in show business—a rare milestone that honored a one-of-a-kind talent. Held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, the special was a heartfelt sendoff for the beloved entertainer, who was battling cancer at the time.

The evening brought together icons like Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Ella Fitzgerald, Gregory Hines, and Eddie Murphy, among others. It was a moving blend of song, dance, and comedy, highlighting Davis’s groundbreaking legacy as a trailblazer in music, film, television, and civil rights.

From Michael Jackson's emotional tribute to the Rat Pack reunion on stage, the special was more than a celebration—it was a cultural landmark for a man who broke barriers with style, soul, and swing.
