“I’m not here to teach you how to take a better selfie. I’m here to talk about Social Media Warfare.â€Â – Brother Jesse Muhammad (4/11/15 – Chicago, IL)
History was made at the National Center of the Nation Of Islam in ways that could only be articulated as a modern technology in motion. In conjunction with the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan speaking twice in a single day in Atlanta, Georgia, members of the mighty Farrakhan Twitter Army hosted The Teachings 2.0 Book and Social Media Warfare Tour featuring Brother Jesse Muhammad of Houston, Texas. Brother Jesse currently serves as the social media strategist for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and is the liaison to the ever-growing Farrakhan Twitter Army.
The Social Media Warfare Seminar took place on Saturday, April 11, 2015 at The Salaam Restaurant located at 700 W. 79th Street in the heart of South Chicago.
Sister Kenya Muhammad, one of event organizers, gave a warm welcome to those in attendance and also served at the hostess introducing each speaker.
The seminar began with Halimah Nia Muhammad of Detroit, Michigan who presented on the “Power of Modestyâ€. Her opening words would set the tone for the entire program. “What we see on social media is not of God, so I come before you saying there is No God but Allah!â€
Sister Halimah spoke against the morally depraved mainstream fashion trends and promoted the beauty of being a modest model for God. She elaborated on how the world’s definition of beauty has ill-effected women and young girls. She explained how it damages the self-esteem of a woman to attempt to measure up to the loose fashion trends of today.
The Salaam Ballroom was packed with many young faces, families, as well as a few of the Student Officials of Mosque Maryam.
The next presentation was a live performance from Cincinnati-based Hip Hop artist, Brother Michael 6X. He has been accompanying Brother Jesse on The Teachings Tour performing what has been affectionately called “The Teachings 2.0 anthem†that describes the contents of the Twitter Book and the power it contains. Brother Michael engaged the crowd with his masterful demonstration of righteous Hip Hop.
Following the live performance was what everyone had been waiting for. The honored guest speaker, Brother Jesse Muhammad, and his presentation of the “Social Media Warfare†seminar.
Brother Jesse opened up thanking the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan for his work, dedication and love in the Mission of resurrecting the spiritually dead. He also thanked the Student National Assistant to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, Brother Ishmael Muhammad, and his staff for the opportunity to bring The Teachings Tour to Chicago.
Brother Jesse began to give the backdrop of The Teachings Tour as well as the hashtag #AskFarrakhan.
He delved into The Supreme Wisdom lessons as it refers to The Lion seeking a way of out of the cage using modern equipment. “We think we’re going to attract these young people with what we used to doâ€, Brother Jesse said. “Most people are more comfortable with old problems than they are with new solutionsâ€.
