Shamaiye Haynes, Accessible Leadership for the NAACP

0481D414-2F57-4D6F-8C75-5DC6C864648A
​Shamaiye Haynes is running for NAACP President and she deserves your ear. I met Ms. Haynes some years back as we tried to detangle ourselves from the educational haze that is sometimes felt in Charlotte. She has a glorious presence; an Angela Davis crown and red lip stick to show she doesn’t play around.&nbs...

Construction of Race

F0F7F684-5A9F-4070-9733-58350D4CA414
By Dearest PriceCopyright Agape VoiceI often wondered why I had such a light complexion in comparison to the rest of my family. My evidence has long been buried and the beautiful amber and indigo hues incapsulating my tribe was recognized uncannily. I never been in a high office where anyone ever cared if I was Black. But I was often called names a...

Addicted

Addicted

I know I Know
but I love the way it
slides over my skin
damn near making me
Tap Out
with every buzzzzzzzzzzz
intended to trace
the outline of my butta.....fly
wait..........
lemme
readjust
for some more buzzzzzzz
Colorful extractions
filled my cup
drippin green soap on the flow
to satisfy my favorite smell
like lavender sage
forming a higher level
Wipe me down
breaking
my concentration down
to the peace of me
written Hebrew
nestled in the comfort of
my spine........
Kissed
reflections
from an upgraded past
covered and smothered
with new love
something like a perfectly
designed
bond of strength.........
Bless Me
Rockin this Key
To Life.
I’m Addicted


What’s Next??

We Owe it to Our Ancestors to Collectively Vote Regardless of any Reason

pexels-nappy-3063910
 As a conscious woke person I used to allow the ignorance of believing my vote didn't matter per history showing my ancestors dying for something so simple kept me from voting.  As conscious woke intellectual, I saw the game that I wasn't playing, and we in the conscious community always say life "is like a game of che...

My Vagina Is Mine

233444FC-4AC1-4644-BDD2-B607788CE146
"I am not gonna be vulgar or waste your time. I am just here to school you that my vagina is mine." You see the oppression of women in days past and today is truly hard to stomach. The discouragement of feminism while misogyny still ravages our communities is perplexing. And while many churches preach the man as the head, I am still waiting for man...

Remove the orange tip from this toy gun makes it look like a designer handgun. (Per this media picture) If you are black, your child should be...

Let's take a moment to elaborate on the meaning of power: According to the Merrium-Webster dictionary, power means to have "possession of control, authority, or influence over others."Okay now to my story..........It is necessary to have p...
