She has been writing and performing spoken word/poetry since childhood. Born in a family of thirteen, she is the 12th child and daughter of a preacher man. Ayaba grew up during the days of segregation/civil rights movement/the beginning of intergration...
She is no stranger to the harsh racial words and remembers vividly what it was like being called, "nigger" as her school bus in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma pulled into the all white school's parking lot where she was greeted with the harshest of racial slurs that stalked her throughout her many days in what once was an ALL WHITE SCHOOL.
She has seen many things and the influences that inspire her spoken word/poetic spewings are Vast. Can you say "THOUGHT INVOKING?"Then you will surely think of AYABA whenever you dare yourself to face the silent witnesses of SEX and RACE.SEX and RACE is dedicated to J.A. Rogers (1883-1966).Joel Augustus Rogers (September 6, 1880 (some sources say 1883 [1] [2]) — September 6, 1966) was born in Negril, Jamaica and migrated to the United States in 1911. He worked as Pullman porter while trying to establish a career as a journalist and lay historian of African history, biography and race relations.Rogers' first book, From "Superman" to Man, self-published in (1917), attacked notions of African inferiority. In the 1920's he worked as a journalist on the Pittsburgh Courier, the Chicago Entrerprise, was a sub-editor of Marcus Garvey's short-lived Daily Negro Times in 1922 and made contributions to Negro World. In 1947 he published a collection of biographies as World's Great Men of Color.Rogers was a meticulous researcher, astute scholar and very concise writer. He traveled tirelessly on his quest for knowledge which often took him directly to the source for information for his books. While traveling in Europe he frequented libraries, museums, castles and many places of interest that would help to prove Africans had an ancestry and history that the world could and should be proud of. He challenged the biased viewpoint of Eurocentric historians and anthropologist eventually destroying the myth of African inferiority through his books Sex and Race Vol. I-III.Rogers worked to prove that color of skin is not what determines intellectual genius and that Africans have contributed much more to the world than what was previously stated. Most of this was brought forth through his work, From Superman to Man, in which exposed the extreme contradiction in American political and social environments in The Five Negro Presidents.Rogers was self-financed, self educated, self-published. His collections of works are enormous exstensive complete with detailed references documented ever so carefully to prevent scrutiny of his facts are a testament to his due diligence, work ethic and commitment to not only African people, but the world, its history and culture.Rogers contributions have not been fully understood and may not be for some time to come. Rogers was one of the first to detail the lineage of the Queen of England to the Moorish Queen Charlotte Sophia Consort of Kinf William III of England.Rogers interviewed Marcus Garvey in prison (New York Amsterdam News, 17 November 1926).Joel Augustus Rogers died on his birthday, 6 September 1966.IBA SE OBA EGUN JOEL AUGUSTUS ROGERS...FUN WA NI IRE!!!
