Chapter 13 Melanin and Magnetism
Chapter Summary:
What is Melanin and Magnetism?
This chapter breaks down the history and usefulness of eumelanin and magnetism in a practical, nonjudgemental way and explain (via analogies) what melanin and magnetism in indigenous people and women are so important today. And at the same time explain that no matter how much a person has or doesn’t have is not as important as what they do and how they use what they do have

- Magnetic Mending
- Merging With Our Melanin
*Greatest Story Always Told
Give idea how movies have always been used to tell this same drama: Just as a parent tells us bedtime stories and don’t know the deeper significance. Here are a few stories/ movies that are my favorite
Movies: The Matrix, Avator Cartoon, The Devil’s Advocate, The Dark Crystal, The Matrix, Harlem Knights, The Lion King (2 especially)
Sample Movies:
- Movie w/ Jamie Fox as musician and the last scene with him, his mother, editor and his girfriend were symbolic of the body, mind, spirit and soul coming together- in harmony (symbolized by the music)
- Matrix- Neo (mind) body (trinity) Morp (spirit) oracle (soul)

Around the corner Around the world
Men & Whites have told women and melinated to get over it
What dreams may come true- whites men more understanding/ women melinated- more forgiving of self 1st, other (innerme)- in this case, really is, and then claiming of power
We all stand to benefit and Earth holds more energy for transformation when women and melinated people are healed, BUT they must forgive 1st and then be able to tapp into power!
