dancing, music, plays, spoken word, reading, walking, traveling, family, friends, good conversation, laughter, self discovery, peace & stillness, the earth, water, the sun and the moon... it's the simple things that move me.

Revolutionaries...old and new/people unafraid to love and be loved/brothas and sistahs doing their thing in a positive way/Black men who raise their sons and daughters/Black women who must do it alone/Our Youth-because many have to fight just to make it each day/any one who has had a hand in helping me reach my goals
