i love all things Afrikan i love AFIKAN men, AFRIKAN women, AFRIKAN babies, AFRIKAN music, AFRIKAN dance, AFRIKAN NESSi've been a vegetarian for almost 10 years and a vegan for about half that time. in transition to a raw foodist- while overstanding that life is continuous transition. i'm a mother, a wife, a poet, a teacher, a student, an artist, an historian. i love GOD and i fight daily to see the GOD in everyone and everything. and i'll be damned if i allow someone to disrespect the GOD in me.I AM MY HAIR~ My hair expresses to the world thoughts that i am unable to express in words. last year i shaved my hair (again) because i was excited about moving to a new place and i couldn't find the words to express how i felt. shaving my head allowed me to express that newness. i believe that Afrikan women sometimes hide themselves behind their hair (or the hair they bought), not wanting the world to see their true selves. When i shaved my head, i was saying, "see me. know me. feel me. do not shy away from me. i am bold. i am beautiful. i am Afrikan!" I have recently decided to regrow my locs and i'm still saying the same thing! i'm me, get used to me or get out of my way!NEW DIRECTIONS!!!!! The Universe has blessed me with new directions recently. i'm on the road of discovering more aboutt the sad state of environmental affairs and how i can help tackle these issues with my soon-to-come legal degree. (may 2010!) i'm researching the necessity of tnsitioning to sustainable living so that my daughter and my daughter's daughter and her daughter can all rear their children in a world free from dis-ease-causing pollutants that we don't need.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Wow! I've met many of the people I admire who are living still and who live in this land: Dr. Imari Obedele, Sonia Sanchez, Conrad Worill, Elaine Brown, Angela Davis, Bobby Seale, Maulana Karenga, Baba Hanibal Afrik and many more I can't remember now, with no disrespect to them.There is a plethora of international leaders that i would love to meet. Heads of states and the such: i would love to meet Kofi Anan, get him high and listen to some real stories about the UN. I would love to be a fly on the wall when someone calls Tiger Woods a nigger. I would even love to get in a boxing ring in a double-team matchup with Layla Ali as my partner against Bitchass Bush and Killanigger Cheney in an all out no glove cage fight.Right now, I'm in Law School, so my days are spent with highly philosophizing assholes who hide their racism behind intellectualism and Brain-dead Negroes who get offended when i wear traditional garb to class. So, in my freetime, I want to meet as many SANE Afrikans as I can. Meaning, Afrikans who know that they're Afrikans, who are un-ashamed that they're Afrikans, and who love being Afrikan as much as I do.

As an Aquarian, I'm used to carrying the "water" of people around me. I refuse to watch the news because headlines of dead and dying Black men, women and children physically ail me. Chest pains are fo...
