Project 2025: A Soundtrack of Unity for a Divided World. Together, we illuminate the path forward.
2/40/80: A Sacred Framework
Duality in Existence (2): Each of the forty original tracks is presented in two versions, a deliberate reflection of life’s inherent duality. Across many Native American tribes, the number 2 signifies balance between complementary forces—day and night, male and female, life and death, the physical and spiritual. This duality represents harmony and interconnectedness in the universe.
- Sacred Twins: Among tribes like the Navajo and Hopi, sacred twins symbolize the coexistence of opposites and the transformative journey of guidance and understanding.
- Ceremonial Directions: For tribes such as the Lakota, two cardinal directions (east and west) carry ceremonial meaning, symbolizing the sun’s daily cycle and life’s broader transitions.
Completeness in Creation (40): The choice of forty original tracks is deeply intentional.
- Vision Quests and Spiritual Periods: The number 40 often appears in spiritual practices, such as extended ceremonial fasts or vision quests, marking profound periods of introspection and transformation.
- Sacred Multiples of Four: Rooted in the sacred number 4—representing the directions, seasons, and elements—40 magnifies these concepts, symbolizing wholeness and a significant life journey.
Amplification of Cycles (80): The total of eighty tracks reflects a mindful extension of these sacred principles.
- Elder Wisdom and Life’s Cycles: In Native traditions, 80 can be seen as an amplification of sacred cycles (20 × 4), representing the culmination of wisdom, endurance, and the fullness of life’s spiritual and physical journeys.
Through 2/40/80, the music honors these sacred numbers and their profound meanings, inviting listeners into a space of balance, unity, and spiritual depth.

The Quiet Rebellion of Aiyana WíiyayA
Aiyana WíiyayA sat alone in her room, the soft hum of the city outside blending with the rhythmic beat of her heart. The world beyond her window was a swirl of division, a world where people fought to be heard, but no one was truly listening. Born to an African Muslim mother and a Dakota father, Aiyana often felt like an invisible thread in a tangled web of differing beliefs, races, and ideologies. Her name, Aiyana, which meant “eternal blossom” in the Dakota language, symbolized her constant striving for peace and growth, though the world around her seemed set on withering anything different.
Growing up in an America filled with hate-filled rhetoric, societal separation, and constant media portrayals of violence, Aiyana knew the challenges of being marginalized all too well. Her skin, a deep shade of mahogany kissed by the sun, was a marker that set her apart in a world that often prized conformity. Her spirituality, rooted in the teachings of Islam and the wisdom of her Dakota ancestors, placed her in a space between two worlds—each one asking her to choose, but never fully accepting her as she was. The isolation stung, but it also fueled her determination to rise above the noise.
Yet, Aiyana had never been one to retreat into silence or resignation. Instead, she found her voice through art—a language that transcended boundaries, a universal tongue that didn’t require explanation. It was through her paintings, and later through her music, that she expressed what words alone could not. Her work was quiet but powerful, much like the spirit of love she carried within her. Each stroke of the brush, each note she sang, was a small rebellion against the hate she saw around her. She had long ago made peace with the idea that she would never be fully understood, but she could still make others feel.
One evening, Aiyana stood in front of a small, dimly lit stage at a community gathering. The audience before her was a diverse one—Black, White, Indigenous, immigrant, Christian, atheist, young, old. All were there because of her art, each person arriving from their own place of hurt, and yet willing to listen. To be healed.
As Aiyana placed her hands gently on the strings of her guitar, she closed her eyes for a moment, gathering the quiet strength that had always been her companion. The first chords rang out softly, a melody that seemed to float above the tension in the room. Her voice followed, not loud, but steady, like the slow, persistent rhythm of the earth’s heartbeat. She sang not to change minds, but to open hearts.
Her song spoke of love—universal, eternal love—and how it could withstand the heaviest storms. It was a song born of her Dakotan roots, where the rivers and the winds were seen as sacred, and where people lived in balance with the land. It was a song informed by the teachings of her mother, whose faith in Islam held the quiet power of submission, of accepting that peace begins within. The lyrics, though simple, carried a weight that felt both ancient and new.
As she sang, Aiyana felt the tension in the room begin to shift. The faces around her softened. A couple of people, initially distant, now leaned in closer. There was no sudden outcry, no loud applause. Just a subtle recognition, a collective acknowledgment that something had shifted—something that words alone could never capture.
The music continued, growing in complexity and texture, but always remaining grounded in that quiet force of love. She played not just for the people in the room, but for the world outside it—a world she hoped would one day listen. Her music was not a demand for change, but a gentle invitation. It was an offering of peace in a world that so desperately needed it.
By the time the final note of the song faded into the air, the room was still. The silence was not heavy or uncomfortable, but profound. Aiyana opened her eyes to see tears glistening in the eyes of some in the crowd. Not tears of sorrow, but of connection. Of understanding. In that moment, she knew that love could bridge any divide.
Aiyana WíiyayA had not fought the world with rage or anger, but with the quiet, steadfast power of art. In her rebellion, she had not sought to destroy, but to heal. And in doing so, she had found a small, quiet victory.
Takeaway
The story of Aiyana WíiyayA illustrates the profound impact that peaceful resistance, grounded in love, can have on a divided world. She embodies the strength of marginalized voices that, though often unheard, can create ripples of change through the soft power of art. In the face of hate, she chose to respond with empathy, compassion, and a commitment to unity. Her music was not an attack on the world’s flaws, but an invitation to come together in the shared understanding of our common humanity.
This story reminds us that while the world often seems consumed by conflict and discord, the smallest acts of love and peace can have the most transformative effects. Sometimes, the most radical thing we can do is simply to be kind, to create, and to speak in the quiet language of harmony. The quiet rebellion is not about overpowering hate, but about gently counteracting it with the timeless power of love. And through this quiet rebellion, we can rebuild, heal, and unite.
