THE BLUEPRINT FOR BLACK UNITY

By Leavie Scott

Chapter 1: A Vision Born From Fire

I didn’t create Soul on Fire because everything in my life was perfect.

I created it because, like so many of us, I had lived through struggle—poverty, instability, injustice, and watching too many of our people fall through the cracks of a system never built for us. I had reached a point in my life where surviving wasn’t enough. I wanted to build something that would allow our people to live, grow, and thrive.

One night, staring at the ceiling of my small apartment in New Port Richey, Florida, I realized that change wasn’t coming. Not unless we built it ourselves.

That was the moment Soul on Fire was born—not on paper, not in meetings, but in my heart.

My mission was simple:

“To unify Black communities through business ownership, economic excellence, and collective empowerment.”

I knew it wouldn’t be easy. But I also knew this:

There is nothing more powerful than a unified Black community with a plan.

Chapter 2: The First Nine

Before we had a name, before there was a roadmap, before there was a vision big enough to shake cities—there were nine of us. Nine people willing to trust that something greater could exist. We met in living rooms, on back porches, on Zoom calls, and sometimes in parking lots between shifts.

What we shared wasn’t money—many of us barely had any.

What we shared was fire, the kind that kept burning no matter how hard life swung at us.

We agreed on one truth:

“If 100 of us can commit to $100 a month, we can build our own economy.”

It wasn’t about donations—it was about ownership.

Each contribution was a brick in the foundation of our future.

Chapter 3: Building the Blueprint

As founder, I drafted what would become our movement’s first formal roadmap. It wasn’t theory. It wasn’t fantasy. It was real, strategic, and designed to transform everyday people into a collective force.

Phase 1—Foundation

Within three months, we would grow from 9 members to 100.

We established:

A Board of Directors

Committees for Finance, Business Development, Land Acquisition, and Education

A transparent accounting system

A membership structure rooted in accountability and respect

This wasn’t charity.

This was economic power organized with discipline.

Chapter 4: The Money Is the Muscle

In Phase 2, our goal was clear:

500 members × $100 per month = $50,000 per month

With that kind of capital, we could:

Launch businesses

Create jobs

Purchase land

Train young entrepreneurs

Establish our own economic ecosystem

We researched cooperative models, nonprofits, and LLC structures that kept ownership in the hands of the people—not the government, not corporations, not outsiders.

We were doing what many said Black communities “can’t do.”

Chapter 5: The First Business

Phase 3 was the moment we stepped from planning into reality.

We studied markets, ran numbers, and identified businesses our community could start immediately:

Logistics & Transportation

Security Services

Agriculture & Urban Farming

E-commerce for Black-owned products

These industries didn’t require millions in capital—but they could create them.

Every business would:

Hire our members

Train our youth

Feed our economic engine

This wasn’t just business.

This was nation-building.

Chapter 6: Land Is Liberation

Year 2 was built around one central truth:

“A people without land can never be truly free.”

With our capital, we aimed to purchase land to build:

A community training center

A farming operation

Meeting spaces

Small-business incubators

Housing solutions for transitioning families

Our ancestors lost land through violence and unfair policies.

We were going to take back our legacy—legally, strategically, and collectively.

Chapter 7: Phase 5—Expansion

By Year 3, the vision expands:

Multiple businesses

Mentorship pipelines

Leadership academies

Investments for members

Youth development programs

Farming and food distribution networks

We weren’t just building a community.

We were building a Black economic nation, one business at a time.

Chapter 8: The Heart of the Mission

The soul of Soul on Fire is this belief:

“We rise together or not at all.”

Every person who joins becomes a part of something larger than themselves—a movement that reconnects us to our power, our history, and our future.

We are not begging.

We are not waiting.

We are building.

And as founder, I stand on this principle:

“The Black community has everything it needs—except unity.

My mission is to fix that.”

My Mission as the Author and Founder

I, Leavie Scott, am committed to turning this plan into reality. This is more than strategy—it is purpose. We are building economic strength, unity, and generational wealth one member, one business, and one acre at a time.

My goal is simple:

Unify. Empower. Build. Repeat.

This movement belongs to all of us.

If your soul is on fire like mine, then welcome
