This very special Savant Saturday is the start of a series of savant principles! First up is, "savant principle no. 3 - decisiveness"

Think, then act. Think, then speak. Think first, even if only for a modicum of time. No, this is not an invitation to overthink every decision you make…but quite the opposite. Progress through the Savant steps, be decisive, and make your move. Your future self will thank your current self when you capture a moment of forethought prior to making decisions. At that point, you can always say that you’ve done your homework and as the Professor, that’s all I can ask for.

Today is a big day! On my father Darral Rucker's birthday, we have a new savant lamont x Heart Take article featuring the launch of our guided journal!

Let’s be brave. Let’s befriend the blank spaces and stillness of life. Let’s sit quietly and enter the chess tournament in our mind, heart, and soul. Let’s submerge ourselves in the deep ocean of our own existence and make sense of the unknown that lies beneath the deep blue. It’s going to hurt, but it is worth it. Heart work is always worth it.

** Savant Lamont x Heart Take Article **

It takes courage to slow down and understand what is happening around us. Intentionality is the key to understanding the question we want to ask and why we want to ask it. Although you should never try to dictate the response, remember that the joy is in the learning process and sometimes, there is no ‘right’ answer, just a field of dreams where people can ask, respond, and learn from one another.

We have the chance to let love have the first and last word, as well as every word in-between. It is our’s for the taking…and the time is now.

(over)sharing — savant lamont. Social media has created a hyper-connected norm and for some of us, we believe that we need to constantly be connected. This could be rooted in the fear of missing out (fomo), but part of it could also be this undying desire to be seen/heard because social media has inadvertently taken the humanism

As we lay our dear Tradena Peters to rest today, it is important that we recognize that the mourning process isn’t easy for any of us…so we must be gentle with the process and take care of one another. We must check in with each other, hold each other tighter, and support our people through the ups and downs. Frankly, I would invite you to allow yourself to feel…all of it. The good. The bad. Especially, the ugly. We must allow ourselves to laugh through the highs and cry through the lows. In the time since hearing the news, I have gone through every emotion. Every single one: laughter in thinking of the good times, tears in thinking about the reality of her transition, rage in thinking about her time being cut short, and helplessness in knowing that all of that was out of my control. Regardless, we must now be there for each other, just as Tweet would be there for us. She was always there, and she always will be. I am honored to have grown up with her by my side and to have known her heart, just as she knew mine. Her last words to me were, ‘I always knew you were different, so keep going, bro. We will be here when you get back.’ It breaks my heart to know I will never hear her voice again, but I will keep going as instructed because, well…I know she will be there with me.

(not) the end. — savant lamont. I must admit that I still feel guilty to be alive while my friends and family have transitioned…especially those like my good friend Tweet who went in an untimely manner. My heart hurts. My soul mourns. I’m struggling, but I am fighting. I have always promised to fight, and I will continue to do...

Bear with me, mi familia: I am human. I am a living, breathing human battling all forces, both internal and societal...but I am nothing if not the embodiment of the phrase, ‘work hard, play hard.’ I work my tail off and I cry often. I have no shame in admitting that I have good days, while others prove difficult to continue. In that process, I have a few glasses of Henny with my people. Half the time, it’s celebratory. The other half are the type you desire when the day kicks you in the face. Honestly, the Savant lifestyle symbolizes the juxtaposition of humanity. We fight. We battle. We rejoice. We cheer. We claw. We laugh. We shake as tears run down our face. In this process of growth and prosperity, there will be phases of smiles and phases of crippling helplessness. At some point, we reach the bounds of human existence and suffer the reminder that no matter how hard we push, sometimes it won’t be enough. It’s tough to be human in a world that expects perfection, but we can always try to be our best selves, put our best foot forward, and celebrate our victories when they arise. We work too damn hard not to let loose and enjoy our progress.

To be honest, I’ve laughed in this tee...and I’ve used it to wipe my tears. I’ve battled every emotion with Savant on my chest (and in my heart); the good, the bad, and the ugly. As a leader in this war for equality, I have humbly accepted my post and the roller-coaster of emotions that comes along with it. Sometimes it’s great, but ima be honest: most times it’s a struggle. We are legitimately fighting for our lives every day, and it can get daunting. No matter what, Savant stands for believing in our damn selves and knowing that no matter if times are excellent or challenging...we got this. We can handle whatever it is that we face, especially when we go at it together. Savant is a family. Savant is a movement. Savant is you and me. Together, we will get to the promised land. I love you and I got us. I will continue to fight for us with a Henny-Rita in my hand. Don’t let that glass fool you, though. Remember, I’m from the Lou! 😏🌹

Siempre,
Anthony Lamont Williams

As we celebrate the born day of Trayvon Martin, I must be honest: it hurts me to know that I had the privilege of seeing 26...when he didn’t. To be frank, I almost didn’t either.

Friends and family are eternal beings that occupy their own space in our hearts, so remember that those smiles and memories can never be taken away from us. For me: as I mourn David every day and drive around with his memorial sticker on the back window of my car, I am furious that someone selfishly took his life…but glad to have been graced with his presence. I am happy to have known David and I am happy that he knew me. I am happy to have been someone he believed in and I am happy to be someone who believes in him. I am mostly happy that I knew his heart…and that I was strong enough to be open and allow him to know mine.
