Peace Sis,
Please check out my novel Manjani. The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers called it "a revolutionary work well worth reading." You can also post your own review when you’re done.




STORY SYNOPSIS:

Manjani Jackson is a mouthy New York teenager who believes her life’s purpose is to lead her “deaf, dumb, and blind” brothas and sistahs into The Revolution. On one of the worst days of her life, tragedy strikes, landing her at an all white school. Although she is working on getting along, the racist students make it impossible, and before long, the administration crosses the line, forcing Manjani into political action. Then one of her events gets out of hand, sending her on the run. Her journey leads to a place where bittersweet lessons about liberation are learned as her comrades turn against her. Only tough love, spiritual revelations, and self-determination will help her find her place in the struggle.

loving the new pic. how are ya. looks like all is well.

Hey Ebony,
thanks for the good word! Do let me know what days it might be. I still would like to meet up with you before life puts us in other geographies.

Greetings Gumbo YaYa Supporters,

Last week's session "Brilliant Tomorrows: Sister(ing) as Communal Creative Performance" was a success! We had 20 women in attendance as we engaged diverse ways of practicing sisterhood.


This sunday features an extended gourd making and percussion workshop, HandWork to HeartWork" led by Connie Leeper of Kannapolis, NC. The session will begin at 2:30 and end 6:30. All programs happen at Healing with CAARE, Inc on 214 Broadway St in Durham, NC.


We are also pleased to announce that two of our youth, Nadirah and Bryonna, will lead us in a meditation and visualization activity to start the workshop.


As always, dinner and child care will be provided.


Additionally, please see the link to more pictures of the Everlasting Life workshop from our second week. Thank you sister Courtney Powell-X for the photography work.

Greetings sista,

Appreciate you updating our page. My tracks on the page actually won't play...it will begin for a few seconds then go to another track. Not sure what is really going on with that.
Is there something more than needs to be done with them?

peace and light,
amaris
