Tomorrow is the 12th Day - Where is Allisha?

IMG_0496
I don't understand why more is not being said about James Dunmore. Is he a suspect? Where is he? What is his story? We know that Allisha was in Charlotte for a concert with her cousin. According to her cousin, Allisha didn't show up. "It just wasn't normal. That's not her," Utley said."I came back home. Allisha's car was still there at her boyfrien...

The History of the N- Word Rev. Queen Mack

IMG_9863
I am posting this because I had a Latino man call me a n*****r today as I stood in line to get my food. I accidentally stepped in front of him on the line to pick up my juice I left behind. The venom in the use of the n- word didn't go unnoticed either. The most basic etymologic explanation for the word nigger traces its origin to the Latin word "n...

Shanquella Robinson Update

6E50FF53-9F89-4E18-A1B1-FF72259840AE
Reassurance is an arrest. To allow the Cabo 6 to  walk the streets is outrageous with others being arrested for much less. We can not bring Shanquella Robinson back but we can give her poor parents some peace knowing that accountability has started. Do not give these individuals another opportunity to disappear as they did from Mexico aft...

Shanquella Robinson Update

0F4DD3DB-96C0-40E7-A1E0-83D1EDDEBFE5
“Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas, backstabbers do this.” ~ Lauryn Hill Betrayal is one of the dirtiest acts of humankind. Giving another person your trust only for them to exploit and in this horrific case kill you is how it works since the beginning of time. The saying goes, “For there to be betrayal, there would have t...

Outrage

F4FDB6F3-7960-4F78-BD70-11881EFDD2E2
I have been so upset about this Shaquella Robinson case. Comments from our own people that she was so beautiful and talk to your kids about frenemies have me pissed off. No, this ain't a movie and if she was unattractive we still should be outraged!!!! Everyone of those young people that did this have a mama and daddy, so what the hell is going on?...

“A Taste of Power” - The Strong Peoples Party

ECF9A8A6-6521-4639-97A0-0D30B78DEA09
One of my favorite books of all times is “A Taste of Power” by Elaine Brown. It was the first book I read in undergrad and it shaped and molded me politically. And as I stood in this arena of Black Women for over 30 years, I finally see now that only WE can save us. Not the Republicans, nor the Democrats, or&...

Your Loss Is Our Gain!!!

A lot of people have it worst than me. I’m so aware of that. I am no victim, nor do I want your hand outs. But I have to say “Loud and Clear” that I was taken advantaged by the Republican Campaign, Stephanie for NC, that hired over 50 Black people and only paid out a select few. Poll workers such as my new fr...

Writers Remorse - A Tribute to Joel Odom

A17833AC-3D12-4606-95C1-EF93CA311CA1
I met Joel a couple of years back as we had begun our own Black Renaissance of sorts here in Charlotte. Days and evenings spent at Queens Coffee Bar, building about change in our communities and the end to the consistent violence that encompassed our streets was discussed. During our first encounter he had hi...

I don’t know “J”,   Like I don’t know many others, But I recently had the honor to meet his awesome mother, She is a jewel in the community,  I would label her as a Queen,  You would actually have to meet her to know exactly what I mean, She is one of the soldiers that hold the “Mothers” up, You see she lost her b...

Enough Is Enough - Mommy Mega March

ADC19DE4-B94B-42BD-906D-B710B6C131E4
​All I could do is think about my son as we marched the streets of Charlotte on this rainy second day of 2021. I know that sounds selfish but those were my thoughts as we made our way down 3rd Street to the BLM Uptown. We chanted, “Enough is Enough” with the young people. I could not imagine a worst fate than the one&n...

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...

We Can’t Deal With Affordable Housing Without Addressing Job Discrimination

D2EA5A0F-B5BA-4028-8DA2-7FF95F56A120
The question is, how does someone become homeless? Well it is my belief we can’t discuss homelessness, affordable housing and displacement without talking about the job force. We can’t ignore the seed that maintains a place to stay. And in this we must deal with nepotism, racism and gender discrimination to protect employme...

The Face Of Homelessness

61131C90-56FB-4417-BEAC-0412606A9D57
I have stayed in the shelters but I prefer a hotel. The cheapest I found this week is $42 a night. You see I work full time, have a business, two kids and I do most of my stuff out of my car. I have a great mother but she can’t carry me, so I allow the kids to get that stability from her while each day I try to pull out. I have never used drug...

​Dear Dearest,  February 2019 I was blessed with a love offering from the Movement Love Foundation to get on my feet. I was a displaced mother but Movement School hired me as a teacher’s assistant with high hopes of becoming a Language Department Chair.

I was just told City Councilwoman Renee' Perkins Johnson (District 4) spoke of our endorsement of her during the swearing in ceremony tonight in Charlotte. She gave us credit for being the first to endorse her when actually she was the first endorsement we ever made. My heart was so filled with joy when she won because it seemed that God was m...
