Natural Hair vs. Chemically treated hair!

The Honorable Dr. Amos Wilson

Happy Birthday Mrs. Davis!

I would love to pay tribute to a wonderful young lady as she begins the second third of her life. She is without a doubt a natural African beauty, my friend Mrs. Davis!!!

Whatever happened to the Black Power movement?

R&B singer Kim Weston sings "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" in front of 100,000 people at Wattstax--a festival at the Los Angeles Coliseum on August 20, 1972 organized by the Memphis Stax label to commemorate the 7th anniversary of the Watts riots and black power, pride, culture, tradition and heritage struggle. The party and peaceful atmosphere of Wattstax was seen by some as "African Americans answer to Woodstock". Be it charity or benefit, in order to encourage as many members of the black Americans community in LA to attend the event at Memorial Coliseum, tickets were sold at $1.00 each. Customs included advertisements and commercials in play for the event. There have been several recordings from this festival and a documentary film. It was a celebration to upstage all celebrations. Reverend Jesse Jackson gave the invocation, which included his "I Am - Somebody" poem, which was recited in a call and response with the assembled stadium crowd. There was a film directed by Mel Stuart which was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Documentary in 1974.

And you think you serve a different master?

Happy Thanksgiving??!!

Thanksgiving? My divine intellect reveals too many contradictions for me to embrace the holiday with the same nationalistic vigor as most Americans. I however, feel that giving thanks is an appropriate response to the many blessings I receive from the Universe.  I try to give thanks every single day. I really hope that one day, my every action will be an offering of thanks to the universe in return for the wonderful experience that living my life has been.

This Thanksgiving, ( the U.S. holiday) I spent with friends. A wonderful time it was, my little brother Khali was there, with his sister and their friend Raphaella, they provide all the live entertainment that I could ask for. Khansa the host and cook for the evening really did her thing. With true vegetarian resolve I didn't eat any turkey today but I will admit that it was a good looking bird. 

For preparing such a wonderful meal and being a wonderful mother, I pay tribute to her natural beauty.
