Sistah Swap-N-Meet Nov. 22nd 6pm…. This is such a fun event, the last one was such a blast we decided to do this quarterly, now its that time…so do your winter cleaning and get rid of things to small, too big, shoes you’ll never wear, a bag that goes with nothing, old software, cd’s, appliances, jewlery ect. Bring a bag of stuff you want to part with and we’ll set everything up in a store like fashion. Then we will all get to shop, talk, eat and meet. Please bring a friend. Its open to everyone. We especially want to encourage people who are size 14 and above to show up and share…we want your stuff too! 

****Anything thats not swapped will go to shelters to benefit women who are suffering from domestic violence***** email for event address

All you have to do is be able to write poetry and then perform it. Yes its that easy! the subject matter is focused on passionate love between two slaves. Thoes interested in these last spots should contact me asap. This play will run during black history month. email your request to participate. More info to come.

Obama Pride….

I like most of america voted for change. As we remain hopeful some of us have re-charged re-focused and re-fueled our hearts and minds. No longer can we as a people say the word can’t…out new mantra is YES WE CAN..and we did; at the poles, in the mail, on the street, with our pocket books, with our actions….we made this happen. I’m so happy I can’t think straight…with that said my mind is on all the wrong things….like…

Hair grease in the white house

Corn bread and fried chicken

Cornrows and braids

A black family lounging in the white house

Black music being played in the white house

but most importantly….a black woman is helping her black man run the country…I’m dancing the rest of the week away in tribute to our victory.barak relaxes

I ask you the readers…what are you now inspired to do?
