The picture speaks volumes. No need for a caption

But never mind English, Habari Ghani.

Habari Ghani my sister? Habari Ghani my brother?

Habari Ghani?

 I'm adamant about joining the Marcus Garvey movement.I'd like to take this opportunity to own up to my ignorance towards the language and customs of the African people. I'm guilty of making fun. But that's because of deep rooted ignorance, that extends way beyond satires and spoofs. I'm trying to go to Africa and be one with the people and customs of my ancestors. I want to dismiss the ignorance and apologize to the people for being entrenched in "whiteness". I want to transcend the "black body" and mingle with the boys and girls who I'd refer to as my sisters and brothers. I want to dance soukous to the beat of all  tribes. I want to be fluent in Swahili, Ga, and Igbo. To be real with you, I want to voyage to the mother land because I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. Like Kephra said, I'm experiencing the kind of tired that makes me want to stand up and do something. Call me a fool, but Africa is by far the realest place to be. African people are some of the most beautiful people that I've met. They have a spirit and resilience about them that is unmatched. Despite centuries of racism and prejudice, Africans are proud people; and no matter how hard one tries to defame Africa, African people's pride can never be ceased.
For a while now I've been shouting out the colors of Nigeria. Although I may have sounded foolish while emulating the Nigerian accent, I was coming from a place that barely anyone understands. To you my newly found appreciation for African culture may be just a phase. But I'm going to keep it real with you, because this is not a phase. I've always appreciated Africa for what it's worth, but some sort of force has recently invaded my body.  Earlier this week I was telling my sister's friends that I want to go to Africa. Ironically at the poetry slam that we all attended a few hours later, the most talented performer on the Hofstra team happened to be from Nigeria. Despite her petite stature, her words and presence were enormous. She spoke to us . She relayed a message that only the open minded understood. She preached to a choir that conceded to everything that came out of her mouth. It wasn't just a coincidence that after weeks of me boasting about Africa, this girl confirmed all of my desires to be one with African people.
"My four fathers can't be found in South Dakota on Mount Rushmore, they are not featured on the USD either." That's because my four fathers are Malcolm, Martin,  Marcus, and the Messiah. The white man teaches me that being Black was the worse thing that anyone could have been prescribed. Ironically my four fathers teach me that being black is a gift not a curse.Race is a social construct but being black is amazing. I have embraced my brown skin as beautiful, and no white, black, yellow, or green person is going to refute that. The paradigm that the fore fathers established discounted anyone who was not white, educated, and wealthy. However, African Americans went against the odds and showed out in various fields. African Americans have proven that you don't have to be white and wealthy to succeed. My black people have succeeded through thick and thin. My black people have showed up and out.  My black people are running the white house as we speak. And my Black people will continue to succeed.

My black is beautiful, strong, and resilient. Habari Ghani?!

"I want to experience mind sex."

I'll elaborate later. Until then, enjoy your day folks.

Take me there!

I don't know how to reject people, especially when they are amicable. I hate rejection so I know how terrible being rejected is. I wish some people knew how to take a hint. Smh smh smh!

On a Day

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad. On a day like today Jesus rose again and beat all odds. On a day like today he resurrected and proved Pilate wrong. On a day like today our we were given life and a reason to be glad.

Happy Easter!

Shout out to my Momma; Yvrose Doliscar-Henriquez who is constantly hitting me with the most profound wisdom! And for today she made sure to tell me

"Do not confuse love with opportunity. You have alot of time, the opportunist can play such a great job making you believe in him ,and feel loved.May the Lord guide you."

True

Sagittarius:

Are fun loving free spirits. They are forgiving "forgetting" and have a great sense of humor. But if wronged watch out! As the ninth sign of the zodiac, the Sagittarius individual is an easy-going, optimistic, inquisitive, and very straightforward soul who was born to explore, both inwardly and outwardly.Energetic and loves to travel. Does not like deceit or pretension. Their standards are high. They are loyal, intelligent, and honest.

Would mostly get along with:
Leo

Aries

Virgo

Aquarius

I believe in God as the most supreme being, I do not worship zodiac signs. But I find it intriguing how right on the mark they can be. If you know me well, you know that the above excerpt describes me pretty much to a T!

Just like brother Shabazz I'm an M, and just like him I am a rebel. Just like he my motives are often misunderstood. Brother Shabazz was constantly in the midst of drama and although the occurances are seldom, I find myself in drama also. At the end of the day I'm for truth no matter who tells it and for justice no matter who it's for or against, just like Malcolm.

Some of our favorites hit up the premeire of Madea's Big Happy Family looking rather dapper. But who would expect anything less from Keke Palmer, Lance Gross and Ms. London. Keke never disappoints with all her class, sass, and style. I will continue to support her because she is truly an inspiration. Lauren London is slowly but surely creeping back into the scene. And Lance Gross and his smooth chocolately skin is still keeping the ladies on thier "Pees and Ques".
