About Me

I envision a place in this world when one day my work will be appreciated by millions. A time when I will see my name and my creation placed on the marquee for millions to see; being surrounded by friends and supporters in the quest for something of this importance to come to life. This is my push and drive for greatness. Should I be the only person to bask in the glow of achievement so be it. I will do whatever it takes to accomplish this feat that I’ve set before me.”“To those that are waiting for me to falter in defeat, don’t hold your breath. My life and my time is now, so step aside. J R Turner II “ Finding Kaveya” Standing in the Rain- Part One ( coming soon this Fall 2007) This is a new revised version................. The story that was written about a father and a child he hasn't seen in more than eighteen years. Even though there never was a bonding, in the heart of this man was the sincere hope that one day he and his little girl would become close. For this to happen, it would take the grace of God to guide him in this quest for closure and unity. He kept the faith knowing one day the opportunity would come. He often thought about her. He wondered how and where she was. On December 10, 1979 the opportunity came to him with the aid from the Department of Social Services. Pictures were sent to him along with the current address of his daughter. To his surprise the location was where his relatives actually lived. His child was living there, and to think that just maybe he may have passed her or even spoken to her and didn't know it from the numerous visits.“Reflections” Standing in the Rain-Part Two now available at www.wordclay.com “ Standing In The Rain-Reflections” mainly centers on Kaveya as she “ slowly transforms her negative opinions and attitude into something positive toward her father, Raymond.” She incorporate an understanding of certain Christian principles to trace some of her motivations and responses over a period of time. Highlighting qualities relating to identity, belief, loyalty and family values in various forms, Kaveya portrayal explores the relative complexities of human nature and interaction“ Kaveya’s Heart” Standing in the rain-Part Three ( coming this summer 2008 ) Kaveya is going to experience many of life struggles and challenges. She will come face to face with occurrences that she will have no control over. Having her to deal with these things will encourage her to establish a bond with God and those close to her. Sometime we all may have to stand out in the rain to see what we were missing.......................

"A Good Black Man"Good Black Men are indeed all around you. You pass them on the streets, in the malls and the halls at work. Most you can't see because you don't know what a good black man really looks like. He usually isn't flashy enough or rich enough to turn your heads. He might not wear a suit or drive a Lexus. He might not have a "body like Tyson with a Denzel face." But, as you mature, you realize it's better to find someone who's got your back than someone who turns your head.A good Black Man doesn't agree wholeheartedly with everything you say. He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear and do the opposite. He doesn't declare how sensitive, sweet, caring, sincere, yada yada he is (he won't have to because it shows). He has his own opinions and you may clash, but he doesn't have to degrade you to prove he's right. He even admits at times to being wrong, especially if you are willing to do the same.A good Black Man is not going to meet every item on your checklist. He is human with frailties and faults mixed in with all of his wonderful, strong attributes. He needs your love and respect. He needs to feel that you don't live to "catch" him doing something wrong so you can declare, "Aha! I knew you were a dog!!"A good Black Man doesn't necessarily give you a huge birthday or Valentine's gift. He shows his love in the ways that are comfortable to him. Don't judge him by TV standards. No one is really living a fairy tale. You'll miss out on your own fairy tale by buying into the myth that men are no good. It's just not true...
