Let's see... I enjoy so many things. My interest: Abstract color painting, writing, reading, acting, traveling, decorating, shopping, dining out, going to the beach, hiking, bike riding, tennis, culture, and so much more.
I am inspired to paint whenever I hear the sounds of Bob Marley, Fertile Ground, Grover Washington Jr., Mos Def, Lauryn Hill, Damian Marley, Marvin Gaye, Erykah Badu, Portishead, Esthero, Michael Franks, Jamiroquai, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Curtis Mayfield, Hope, Ledisi, Zap Mama, John Legend, The Roots, Fela Kuti, Les Nubians, Jill Scott, Billy Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Deborah Bond, Lina, Leela James, Common, Sweetback, Sade, Prince, Teena Marie, Bjork, Lizz Fields, Amel Larrieux, Alicia Keys, Buju Banton, Stephen Marley, Koop, Steptet, and so many more...but what can I say?
I LOVE music, all kinds of music. Yes, ALL KINDS. I love the sound of voice and instruments. The sounds of the above mentioned and unmentioned artist moves my body and moves both of my hands when I paint. The following words from one of my favorite artist totally expresses how I feel when I hear MUSIC, "Let the music make you dance, watch your body sway, rock your soul into a trance, back to yesterday.."

"A Meek Design" Throw Blankets (my latest creation - and new designs coming soon). 50% of A Meek Design purchase goes to help aid in the implementation of a non-profit program that the spirit has placed upon my heart and given me the vision to start in September of 2008. The program wil provide a safe Gallery space for children in the Greater Los Angeles community. An Artistry place where they can be free to draw and paint outside of the lines. An Artistry place where they can be free to express themselves creatively. For details on pricing, materials used, and measurements send me a note. HEY!!!! If you are an Artist (of all aspects: visual art, music, photographer, poet, etc) and would like to know how you can get involved, please (PLEASE) reach out to me and let us join hands in being an example to our children (remember, it takes a community to raise a child). Peace and Light!
Who I'd like to meet: Fellow artist (all aspects) who aren't afraid to let their light shine bright enough for all to see. Those willing to share their life story, good or bad, so that others will learn and grow through them. Like minded wombmen.

Sister Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Love the ones who don't just because you can. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Kiss slowly. Forgive quickly. God never said life would be easy. He just promised it would be worth it.
Today is sister's day,send this to all your sisters, mothers, daughters, girlfriends even me if I am like one.

The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers called it "a revolutionary work well worth reading." Some places refuse to review it. What do YOU think?
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.
