“Water No Get Enemy” AKA Get to Work!
We decided to continue on to Detroit with Sugarcube skipping first gear. With a plan to have her worked on as soon as we got to Detroit, we opted not to cancel that show. On our way, we read STITCHED squares.
*Slight sidenote: [For those who are unfamiliar with STITCHED, it is a project Naima and [...]
The Liberated Master of the Universe
Naming is an important. Naming a child, naming a school or scholarship fund. Naming a pet or an event. And before leaving Yellow Springs we had the pleasure of meeting Pegah’s parents – Iranian immigrants whose commitment to revolution brought them to the states. Her mother has the most inspiring revolutionary name I’ve ever heard [...]
Oh, The Pain!
Mama Lou loves corn. She likes popcorn, fritos, cornmeal, cornbread, bugles, corn on the cob… you name it. So when we left Cincinnati with bags of microwaveable popcorn it wasn’t a surprise. What was a surprise was when Mama Lou and Pippi tried to convince me that dried seaweed tastes like [...]
The Tipping Pointizzle
Okay. So I’m in Chicago. Sitting at my aunt’s house (whom I have only met once before this at my high school reunion 11 years ago). I am taking a break from my HURRICANE SEASON homies. I have two blogs between this one and the last one that covers what has been happening on the [...]
A GROWN MAN CRYING IN PUBLIC
FIRST OFF: Love, love, love to: rolando, jennifer, sparlha, tyrone, ayinde, jamel, atiba, cj, jullien, julia, caitlin, and kelli for reaching out!
Cincinnati continued…
HURRICANE SEASON is a pretty hi-tech multi-media piece. It has visual collages, and audio testimonials interspersed with Climbing PoeTree’s poems, full-bodied Cat’s Cradle, and stick dancing. It’s all perfectly timed. And when/if there are any technical difficulties, it is extremely difficult to hold up [...]
I (HEART) MY HATERS
Naima (aka Mama Lou) and Alixa (aka Tetris) are extraordinary women.
Background:
I met Naima and Alixa at the African Arts Festival after having seen them briefly on a BET commercial. Kahlil Almustafa introduced me and he apparently had MAD respect for them. Then I would see them at various events throughout the city. [...]
Where is Sugarcube, now?!
So what exactly is Sallome doing on this tour?…
The website says, and I quote: “Sallome will be journeying on Hurricane Season tour watering dreams as the facilitator for the post-show “solution-ciphers”! Powerful, compassionate, brilliant, Sallome is a village-minded sister from the Brooklyn Renaissance dedicated to helping people realize their highest potential.”
So basically, after Naima & [...]
A WOMAN COVERED IN GREASE – IT’S SO HOT!
We are on our way to Pittsburgh… no wait! We are swerving our way to Pittsburgh, and it is evident that unless we figure out Sugarcube’s problem, we’re going to kill ourselves and others on the highway. So we stop at Blue Mountain Travel Lodge – complete with a Roy Rodgers and an ice cream [...]
Lips chapped, mouth dry, and definitely not dressed for “world changing”
First and foremost, shouts out to those who have read my e-mail and/or blog and responded with a text, e-mail, or phone call. It truly means a lot to know folks are thinking about me and sending me such love. And specifically: regine, cinnabar, sparlha, rachel, jullien, tyrone, george, trevor, jamilah, ashley, raquel, [...]
