I Love You.

About Me

I live openly, in love, in profession, in culture, and in spirit. I trust inherently each being who speaks to me with beautiful intent. I believe that people can and do in fact, change. I love being in love and it has made my life rich, colorful, creative and sensual. I give thanks and I grow.
Maferefun Esu, Ifa, Sango (at my Head), with Olokun (at my Feet), and Yemoja. I am thankful for the secrets of the universe as they are slowly revealed to me through my practice of Ifa and ancestor reverence.

My Interests

I am interested in accessing the Divine in ALL of Us."Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph." --Haile Selassie

I'd like to meet:

Seekers of Truth. People Who Laugh. Lovers of Spirit. Filmmakers with 6 eyes. Courageous Poets who burn up the mic. Ancestor Lovers, and All-Around Cool Cats!

Music:

2-words: STEVIE WONDER - "the master" I Also love: Sarah Vaughn, Miles Davis, Chantee Moore, John & Alice Coltrane, Amadeus Mozart, Pharoah Sanders, Beethoven, Erykah Badu, Incognito, Cassandra Wilson, Fertile Ground, Zap Mama, Fela Kuti, Maysa, Prince, Donnie Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Miriam Makeba, Nina Simone, MeShell Ndegeocello, Raul Midon, Femi Kuti, Teena Marie, Al Greene - and Grace Jones! There's more, but you get the drift..

Movies:

just a few films: "Daughters of the Dust;" "The Color Purple;" "Lumumba;" "City of God," "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner;" "E Minha Cara/That's My Face"

Television:

Top Chef Heros - still waiting for the conclusion of the season!! Boondocks Law & Order SVU
