12 Step Recovery Guide for Men of African Ancestry
Spiritual Principles , Concepts & Exercises. Mental , Emotional & Spiritual. Psychological & Historical Maturity
“This book is deliberately oblique in its scope, not to raise questions for you but the questions in you……we also rely on the innate ability to intuit, to know instinctively and empirically. We make judgments and assessments that include our gut and instincts. We hope to accomplish many goals but we will start with our quest to rediscover our collective humanity as people of African descent, that is from the past, present, and future of ourselves and to confront and eradicate the fears, inhibitions, and shame associated with our denying ourselves an entire framework of truths”.

“Perhaps the first and most ubiquitous narcotic on the planet is propaganda. No one is free from its influence, not even the dead or the unborn.”
“Slavery as experienced by people of African Ancestry was mankind’s incest to humanity. It is still the source of toxic shame for the global family.”
“From our perspective, however, Affirmative action is to our restoration, reparations, and recompense what a bandage is to a beheading.
About the author
Warren Northern Founder, Author, and Facilitator
“Freedom by definition, is the power and the right to THINK, ACT, and SPEAK as one wants without hindrance or restraint.
Historically, in its fullness many have died in pursuit of such power and rights without restraint. We know of contextual and situational freedom. That is, freedom to, freedom for, freedom from, freedom of, an so on. This is not the fulfillment of the definition. Freedom is among one of the most overused and perhaps misunderstood words – We will not know true freedom until we can achieve our collective maturity and purpose”.
“The focus in the recovery process is centered on maturation, healing, and reconciling from the pains of our pasts to go forward in our lives. Unless we include the impact of RIWS (racist institution of white supremacy) in this process, it will all be for naught….
Throughout history, RIWS went about plotting your raping, molestation, and seizure (imperialism, colonialism, and slavery).”
This book offers a challenge to Men of African Ancestry, wherever you are, to share in conversations, perspectives and insights, with you, about you and for you.
