Creative Writing: Novels, Plays and Screenplays, Poetry. Martial Arts: My first love is Capoeira. This art form has taught me alot about myself and has literally saved my life. Any African and Afrodiasporic fighting art. In conjunction to Capoeira, I do Zulu Stickfighting and Kalenda a Trinidadian Stickfighting art. My second love would be Silat and Kali. I generally appreciate martial culture in its various expressions, especially the weird unheard of martial arts in remote corners of the globe.

'Besouro Preto', a new film by Salim Rollins.
In the northeastern state of Bahia, Brazil lies a region of fertile lands spread around the city of Salvador, called the Reconcovo. During slavery, the area was recognized for its high yields of sugarcane. From the small town of Santo Amaro, located in Bahia's Reconcovo, comes the legend of a man steeped in African spiritual tradition, a Capoeirista (practitioner of the movement/martial art Capoeira) who took it upon himself to challenge those who abused their power. Some say he was noble, others a troublemaker who disrespected the powers of authority.
There is no doubt that Besouro Preto (Black Beetle) was a historic figure in Bahia's Reconcovo. But where does the historic figure end and the myth begin?
Besouro Preto looks deeply into the mysterious world of Capoeira, it's historic evolution from Africa to Brazil, its spiritual/religious traditions, its philosophy and then into the life of one of its biggest enigmas: Besouro Preto.
In depth interviews were conducted with some of the most important Masters of the discipline as well as historic and religious scholars. Few documentaries have attempted to delve into the world of Capoeira mysticism. Through th
Hi Da'Mon...how have you been? I hope to make it to the Capoeira fund raiser on the 31st.... Who's quote is the, "Civilize the mind and make savage the body"?...That is genius!!! Hope you are well. Peace and Blessings
Jan’ell has a unique sound with a classic yet modern voice that is a style of her own. “Spit Your Game” by Jan’ell, is a fun energetic song like a breath of fresh air with a Jazz-Hop twist. It speaks the truth of the males approach to females and depicts everyday conversations between them.
Thank You! I am sending you Love, Peace & Blessings
I hope you can attend this benefit that I'm organizing on Saturday, June 28th. It will be lots of fun! If you can't make it, please consider donating a few dollars to a very good cause. There is a paypal donation button on my profile. Thanks so much!
