For those who wish to donate, feel free to donate at this link.Kantor Kohan Debo'rah Wright-Yahvah was born Debo'rah Raine Wright on April 25, 1955 in Jacksonville, Florida. She would often say she was never born, but rather reincarnated into her physical form. lol Kantor Debo'rah's early years were spent at the age of 9, singing in the choir at her late mother's church, Abyssinia Missionary Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida. By the age of 13, she was singing in nightclubs all around the Jacksonville area. These performances led to her official proclamation as "Jacksonville's own Aretha Franklin". A title given to her by her peers, who were amazed by her uncanny vocal resemblance to the "Queen Of Soul" Aretha Franklin. Throughout her many nightclub performances, she had the pleasure of performing with R&B legends such as Rufus Thomas, Edwin Bell, The Chi-lites, and Johnnie Taylor among others. After graduating from high school in 1973, she spent the rest of the 70's, searching for knowledge and truth. By the late 70's to early 80's, she enrolled into Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Florida (where her aunt was a professor). She majored in religion and philosphy. She did not graduate, but went onto pursue bigger pursuits in life. In 1982, while in Jamaica with her two sons, she had a chance meeting with Rita Marley (Bob's widow) at Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston. She had performed a song she had just written enroute to Jamaica in front of Rita and other Tuff Gong execs. That song was "Reggae Down Babylon". Tuff Gong loved the song so much, that they agreed to record it for Debo'rah. The song was eventually released in 1985 on 12" vinyl by Dee-Jay Records. In 1983, while in Miami, she met King Sporty (writer of "Buffalo Soldier"), who introduced her to Betty Wright (The Clean-up Woman). Debo'rah was a big fan of Betty Wright, as she grew up listening to her music as a teenager. Debo'rah and Betty eventually became good friends which lasted for many years until her passing. That same year, Debo'rah would become good friends with the late Mother Booker (Bob's mother) R.I.P. and daughter Pearl Livingston (Bob's sister). That friendship would last for many years. By this time she had converted to the Hebrew Faith with the belief in Yahvah as the mother/father through Yahsua Ha Mashiak. At this point, she started growing her trademarked dreadlocks until 2004. In 1987, Debo'rah moved to New York City. First staying in Brooklyn off Eastern Parkway, then moving to Manhattan on 142nd and Broadway and finally Soundview Ave. in The Bronx. During her stay in New York, she had 3 more children (twins in Nov. 87 and a daughter in July 89). Her New York years were spent fighting against the social injustice plaguing the city at that time. She had the esteemed pleasure of marching alongside fellow activists such as Dr. Lenora B. Fulani, and The Rev. Al Sharpton. She was a tireless supporter and advocate for the homeless. In 1989, she was a participant in the national "Housing Now" march in Washington, D.C.And We LOVE You DEBORAH.

My Warrior Sister A Tribute to Our Warrior GoddessSister Kantor Debo’rah was a true Goddess. I’m glad I had the pleasure to be in her present on this earthly plane. The spiritual wisdom that she shared with us one night came flowing like a cool breeze on a hot summer night. We all love sitting in her present looking on in amazement listening to our warrior Goddess. It seems she was standing in mid-flight as she was building and thinking forward in her conversations which was truly; generated from a galactic spirit. Every human soul who gather with us that night on this earthly plane; elevated their spiritual consciousness in building upon what we all had in common; Freedom! Freedom is the blue-print in leading our families and our people into the direction of independents. Our Warrior Goddess consistly, decode this slave language which is filled, with shackled conversations that we use every moment of the day; that entraps our right and left brain hemisphere. She was clearly aware of this, so she refused to partake in any shackled conversations that would stop her from seeing the pilots that were devises in derailing us from freedom doors. Our Warrior Goddess decodes all negative thoughts and vibes that bind one’s soul from seeing the truth. She and I would sit together and speak forward upon songs that we both were writing and singing. We would laugh so; we would laugh with so much love, this was a spiritual love and we knew the ancestors were please with our work. Her smile was a gleaming light that one could feel renewed because her heart and spirit was very surreal.I like to transmit some thank you-u-u and love-s-s to Our Warrior Goddess, for birthing forwarding herself five times and more. Our Warrior Goddess I’ll miss you and your beautiful and wonderful old soul. Some may say: you were head of your time, I say, you appeared in this time and space exclusively on time, to part- with your spiritual wisdom in our hearts and souls. As your spirit ascends in the universe and the heavens above. Let all say. We love you our Warrior Goddess.Written by: Queen Hadijah ©
