Sneak peek of what’s in the works

The camera pans across the crowd of battered protestors that are consumed in their fight for justice and those who are still opposed to them getting it. Then to the ambulances and first responders that are rushing to help the wounded, then back to the news reporter.

Simultaneously, there are three flashes. One on the bottom right of the television screen, another from my cell, and the third on my military grade smart watch now vibrating on my wrist. I mute the television, pick up my cellular phone and push the send button. When the feminine voice on the other end answers, she says two words “It’s time” and ends the call.

So, It Begins

It’s been a while since I’ve been writing. I can’t place my finger on one thing in particular that caused this seven-year drought. I will say that the processes that I experienced through this time has all played a part in my growth. I can see and feel the voices and actions of characters in my head some old, some new, but they all desire the same thing from me and that is to be given life!

The power of inspiration

An elderly woman read two of my poems’ years ago then she went into her purse and pulled out this dollar and told me to always carry it with me and when the world knows me, pull it out and remember where I came from…. After that she pulled out three pieces of cloth that her father gave her from Africa years ago that represent Power, Love, and Money and let me touch them. This experience was before I wrote and published my first book. I Still have work to do to achieve the level of success that I am for as an artist, but I take it out from time to time along my journey to remind myself where I came from.

I AM

I’m a very outspoken and honest individual. I inhale reality and exhale truth in its totality. I let my vocabulary SCREAM breaking atmospheres of sound waves on so many different levels, giving sound to the screams muffled to silence by fallacies. I see in black and white because no matter how I intertwine the colors they never seem to transcend into gray. I’ve been told that I live inside my head… so I welcome visitors!
