Kenya boy, 13, gains fame for protecting livestock from lions.
Richard Turere, 13, had reason to despise lions while growing up with his family on a ranch in Kenya: The beasts routinely killed their livestock, which he was largely responsible for. Rather than fret, however, the clever boy put his mind to work and devised an invention that not only deters lions, but does so without killing or injuring them.
(Lions, whose numbers have shrunk to an alarming level, are vital to the ecosystem and valuable as a tourist attraction in nearby Nairobi National Park. The park boasts the world's largest concentration of lions, which often perceive livestock on nearby ranches as easy pickings.)

Richard reminds me alot of myself when I was his age. I have always been a very creative person all my life. I remember saving my mom a $300 dollar repair bill by fixing a television myself. The sound had gone out unexpectedly during the middle of a program and nothing my parents could do would fix it (including banging on it). So while they were talking to an appliance repair shop, I was looking over the TV and noticed screw holes.
On a whim, I found my dad's phillips screwdriver and proceeded to unscrew the nuts. The allowed me to open the TV chassis. I found where the speaker was and noticed that the wire leading to the CPU-like board was very loose. So I reconnected it by pressing on it with the screwdriver. Getting a nasty shock at the same time -- I forgot to unplug the TV even though it was off.
Don't worry, it wasn't serious. Just a little jolt. I should have probably known better but I was only 8 years old.
Naturally, my parents weren't happy I done it without adult supervision but they were impressed and proud that I had figured out how to fix it all by myself.
So Richard's story really resonated with me. I am always proud to hear of a innovative Black young man having the opportunity to realize his dreams. As a result of his invention, he received a scholarship to a nearby University where he is studying to become an airplane engineer.
His dream was to fly in an airplane (done when sent to California to show his invention) and to become an airline pilot.
I'm very sure he will accomplish that dream as well.
Good job, little brother!

Black Sovereign | Tumblr
I have a new Tumblr site I am incorporating into my social network of sites which includes Facebook, Twitter and Google+. I will also be using Tumblr as my new Questions and Answers forum, since Tumblr offers an "ASK ME" feature. So, feel free to "Ask Me Anything"... as long as it's worth answering. Of course, you can also follow me if you prefer to use Tumblr to stay in touch.
[infopane color="6" icon="0182.png"]
Tumblr, stylized in its logo as tumblr., is a microblogging platform and social networking website founded by David Karp and owned by Yahoo! Inc. The service allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form blog. Users can follow other users' blogs, as well as make their blogs private. Much of the website's features are accessed from the "dashboard" interface, where the option to post content and posts of followed blogs appear.
Development of Tumblr began in 2006 during a two-week gap between contracts at David Karp's software consulting company, Davidville (housed at Karp's former internship with producer/incubator Fred Seibert's Frederator Studios which was located a block from Tumblr's current headquarters).[13][14] Karp had been interested in tumblelogs (short-form blogs) for some time and was waiting for one of the established blogging platforms to introduce their own tumblelogging platform. As no one had done so after a year of waiting, Karp and developerMarco Arment began working on their own tumblelogging platform.[15][16] Tumblr was launched in February 2007[17][18] and within two weeks, the service had gained 75,000 users.[19]Arment left the company in September 2010 to focus on Instapaper.[/infopane]

Real Encounters | Marc
Originally titled "An Unexpected Visit"
This boy has been following me online for years but was afraid to approach me until now. He signed up for my Weekend Service program where I allow subs to visit me for a weekend under a 2-day service contract. Usually married men or those seeking to use the opportunity to have their first time experience being a sub/slave take advantage of this no-strings-attached arrangement.
He is recently divorced and claimed I had something to do with that. When I asked him to clarify, he said it was my words from prior articles that spoke to him and encouraged him to stop living a lie and starting living for himself.
Very honest answer. I was surprised and impressed. I love when a sub comes into his own, on his own like that.
His visit to Denver was unexpected as we had chatted about him coming out for a weekend in March. But he couldn't wait and took an opportunity for a layover at DIA (Denver International Airport) this past Tuesday to come meet me. Luckily for him, that layover coincided with the time that I normally get off work.
We met initially at a coffee shop close to where I work in downtown Denver. He was very easy to spot and I enjoyed the look of pure excitement on his face when our eyes locked in recognition.
He told me I looked even more handsome in person and that he felt nervous all of sudden. I smiled because this big, masculine looking guy was acting like a bashful teenager. We talked for a bit and left to return to my place.
He only had 4 hours before his connecting flight took off so I went over the expectations I set for those who serve me. I couldn't stop looking at his chest and arms through his shirt. Man that boy was big. Believe it or not, he had never had sex with a man before... only fantasized about it.
I did allow him to explore a little by having him get on his knees in front of me (what a hot picture) and rubbing his face in my crotch. He was hesitant at first but really wanted to please so got more into it. I got hard and he used his teeth to unzip me and looked up at me.
"Sir.... may I?"
His insecurity was cute.
"You've gone this far. What do you think?"
I allowed him to experience his first time sucking a man's cock. A black man's dick. The boy was really getting into it. I gave him pointers that I enjoy and he took to it like fish to water. His shirt was off by now and and I was getting even more turned on by those massive shoulders and arms.
Then I told him to stop.
He asked why.
I said that I had a creamy surprise if he didn't.
Took him a moment but then he smiled and said that he loved surprises.
Just the answer I was looking for. I grabbed his head and shoved my dick back in his mouth. His muscles tensed as I started to skull fuck him. He was moaning and making gutteral noises as I started pumping deeper into his mouth and throat. He started heaving a bit but surprised me by not letting go so I continued.
I hardly EVER cum by getting sucked but damn, that visage of this muscle boy sucking dick for the first time and struggling at it was about to put me over the edge.
I told him to look up at me. All the struggling had caused his eyes to water so they were a little red and tears were falling but he wasn't crying. The look in his eyes was pure hunger. This boy wanted his surprise and was determined to weather through anything to get it.
Our eyes locked and that was it.... I bucked hard and drove my dick deeper into his throat. He couldn't take that and his body reacted by trying to eject my dick.... I grabbed his head with both hands and held him there.
"Take it bitch! That's right, take it all!"
I was cumming. Hot damn, it was hot. Usually when I cum it's inside of a hot ass but this blew my mind. Maybe it was the visual of the mountain of muscle still kneeling in front of me that did it... whatever. All I know is that it was a great way to end a long day at work.
I looked over at the clock and realized he had an hour and 45 minutes to get back to the airport. I live about 20 minutes from there. But he would need time to return his rental and get through security.
But... before I allowed him to leave. I had to see that bubble butt I had been eyeballing all evening. He complied immediately. I will definitely be hitting that the next time he visits. He was honest in his fear about taking it up the ass but wants me to be his first.
We will be communicating on when he'll be able to formally visit for a full weekend of service.
He got back to the airport with 10 minutes to spare before boarding. When he left my place, he was all smiles. He texted me at the airport. Again when he landed. And every morning since that day.
His text this morning:
"Good morning SIR! Thank you again for allowing me to see you Tuesday. I apologize for sounding like a broken record but I can't help it! You are this combination of nice guy, Superior dominant and something else. You make me feel at home. It scared me a little when I was sitting on the plane and reran the experience through my head. I sucked cock for the first time!!! I had your cum in my mouth! You cum tasted very sweet by the way SIR. I never thought I'd say that either! Okay Sir, I will stop here as I don't want to blow up your phone with yet another long text message. You make me crazy but I like it. I haven't felt this alive in years. I want to thank you for that. Have a good day SIR. So looking forward to serving you again soon!"
I love watching new subs come into their own. All many need is that one experience to open the floodgates. Once that happens, there's no going back.

Reflections on 2012
Another year has passed and it was an eventful one... especially for yours truly.
The year started with my decision to start taking the week of my birthday (1/10) off every year due to gaining another week off from my employer.
Ended up in the hospital unexpectedly which was an experience onto itself. Having never been in a hospital before (as a patient), all of the spare time forced me to reevaluate the direction my life was taking.
I had spent the previous 4 years concentrating on my career and other endeavours. Two promotions later, I am now ready to focus more on what makes me happy. Once I left the hospital, I allowed myself to reenter the Lifestyle by restarting this blog (originally created in 2011 but never did much with it) and putting myself out there again.
It didn't take long for submissives to start approaching me. I made the decision to take on 2 or 3 more subs. I already had one dedicated part timer whose been with me since 2005.
Then, I was made aware of a site devoted to Black Dominants called Black Mans Revenge (link is under Black Sovereign Network) where things really started taking shape. The site helped me find the 2 additional subs I was looking for. Plus, due to my contributions and popularity, I was asked to help run the site as an admin. This effectively solved the goal of starting my own social network.
The rest of 2012 saw many new connections made as well as travel opportunities. Hell, even almost had a chance to vacation in the U.K. (still a possibility in 2014). I had almost forgotten the limitless opportunities being a Lifestyle dominant can afford you... with the right connections.
Based on the feedback I've received from the knowledge I've shared, I re-imagined a training program I used to offer over 10 years ago. The new program will be called Black Sovereign University. Subscription based, this program will focus on helping those curious about the lifestyle to have a direct connection to a Master willing to help them understand their true nature and find ways to incorporate it with their everyday existence.
Big things can happen when you allow yourself to live the life you want.
Now it's your turn... get involved or continue existing. Fear of failure is not a valid excuse anymore.

Knowing Your Role, Stay In Your Lane

Know Your Role: Stay In Your Lane
This has real world applications. If everyone stayed within their own lanes, alot of misunderstandings and difficulties could be easily averted. Life would be simpler.
Who am I kidding.... LOL. Life will never be simple as long as free will runs rampant.
