Taking Back Your Power!
The same energy that generates fear within you is the exact same energy that fuels success. You have full control over your mind so what you allow it to ingest will aid in defining your purpose. Absorb valuable information and positive energy therefore you will exude the same. Invite toxicity and distractions in your life then you will drift further away from your purpose.
The time is NOW! Take the opportunity to reevalaute your current actions, the company that you keep and which factors are preventing you from achieving your wildest dreams. We challenge you to take 1 hour to write out what is it that you want out of this lifetime. What fuels your soul the most? Where do you envision yourself within the next 10 years? In what ways can you help others? This will set the foundation for conquering this journey to defining your purpose.
"If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive." - Audre Lorde

Amplify Black Literature
There was a time where it was illegal for Black enslaved people to read and write. Education was prohibited because knowledge is power. And without knowledge, we are able to remain shackled even in present day. Have you been looking for a community in Las Vegas (or virtually) that loves to read and discuss Black literature as much as you do? Look no further! Analog Dope is excited to collaborate with New Nation Goddess to form a new book club, Amplify Black Literature!
Each month we will highlight a different theme and a corresponding book by a Black author. Book club meetings will be held once a month in person at The Analog Dope Store and virtually.
Book club members will also enjoy membership perks and rewards from Analog Dope! Once you have signed up, you will receive a welcome letter with your personalized discount code for future purchases.
In honor of Women's History Month, we are kicking the club off with "Hood Feminism: Notes From the Women That a Movement Forgot" by Mikki Kendall. Published on 2/23/2021, this book is 288 pages and filled with pressing feminist issues such as food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage and medical care. You can purchase here: https://www.theanalogdopestore.com/product/hood-feminism-notes-from-the-women-that-a-movement-forgot/515
Our first meeting will be held on Saturday, March 25, 2023 from 4:00pm-5:00pm PST. For our virtual members, a link will be emailed the day before we meet. We look forward to connecting with you as we have the ability to Amplify Black Lit! Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Why Macronutrients Are so Important
Macronutrients are what the body needs in abundance in order to thrive! Proteins, carbohydrates (complex), fats and water should be consumed with every meal. Eating whole, plant forms of each category will provide the essential nutrients the body needs to function, repair and maintain.
Protein is needed for:
Growth and maintenance
Immune sytem support
Brain functionality
Muscle growth and mobility
Hormone messenger for body coordination
Carbohydrates are needed for:
Primary source of energy
Improves brain performance
Promotes digestive health
Maintain muscle functionality
Enhances heart health
Fats are needed for:
Backup source of energy
Transport and absorb fat-soluble vitamins
Maintain cell membrane health
Insulates and protects organs
Water is needed for:
Assists with freeing the body of harmful toxins and chemicals
Protects muscles and tissues
Keeps the body hydrated and regulated
Improves brain function
The best types of plant foods that align with each macronutrient can be viewed at the following:
Lick of the Month
The best way to build wealth is to generate multiple forms of revenue streams. This may discourage entrepreneurs because it may seem overwhelming to have multiple jobs let alone operate several business all at the same time. The key is to make money while you sleep through passive income. Digital products (podcasts, courses, books, etc.), stocks, investments, affiliate marketing, royalties and vending machines tend to be the easiest to develop.
We want to highlight different "licks of the month" that you can try to not be just a side hustle but an actual resource to cover your expenses and liabilities. For instance, having a stream of revenue for your personal bills, another for your business expenses, another for your investments (this includes re-investing into your businesses), another for your savings, another for compounding, another for your personal expenses non-bill related and another for your rainy day fund.
Let’s talk affiliate marketing! What better way to support Black owned businesses, circulate melanin dollars and contribute to a Black, sustainable economy?! Build strategic partnerships with like-minded individuals to expand both brands. Products and services that you currently use that align with your mission can be promoted to your followers, subscribers and current consumers. Even if you use a product or service for personal use, you can still acquire an affiliate marketing relationship to make extra revenue to reinvest in your business, pay recurring bills or strictly to save for your next business endeavor. Not only can you acquire more funding but also receive additional perks and rewards that may eliminate future expenses with that business.
Challenge Yourself to Be Better
Not only do we want to elevate in entrepreneurship but in our overall lives. Striving to become the best version of yourself is the ultimate form of self-love and care. We are walking into the third month in 2023 which means that 25% of the year has passed. Let's review in what ways you may want to challenge yourself to be even better.
