Just trying to deal with these feelings…
We have 5 more days until we roll back in to Brooklyn. As the HURRICANE SEASON crew gets closer, we begin to bear witness to all sorts of self-sabotaging, elitist, depressing behaviors within ourselves and each other. Three and a half months is a long time to travel with people you haven’t said [...]
Because when I am with them…
I told Alixa and Naima (because I believe it) that I feel closer to God when I am with them. What it is, is I feel more myself, more creative, when I’m with them. It is a beautiful realization to have while on tour - to see the God in me.
My college friend told me [...]
Follow the white rabbit… again!
In January 1, 2007 in the wee hours of the morning as folks stood on Naima and Alixa’s roof declaring intentions for their year, I professed that 2007 for me, would be about “follow[ing] the white rabbit.” That year I had so many miracles and coincidences happen I thought that I really WAS Neo.
Naima and [...]

I stopped blogging somewhere around the Northeast. I was going through Brooklyn, intimacy, and seafood withdrawal. I had a long conversation with a good friend of mine last night. He was asking me about the tour and where I was (mentally, spiritually, emotionally) from the beginning of the tour to today. What poured out of [...]
Minneapolis, Part Deux
This was a truly dope experience.
So one thing I’m noticing as we circle the nation is that many of our hosts live in a cooperative living situation. Meaning, there are grown folks living in houses together (4-8 at a time), sharing household responsibilities. So far, none of the homes we’ve been to have had children. [...]
Minneapolis, Part Uno
I know, I know… this blog could become a photo album - easily. I promise to get back to writing. However, there’s no way to fill you in on ALL that happened in the Midwest. Our best bet - el fotographs! lol
MINNEAPOLIS in technicolor… Part Uno
The beginning
Thank you Chad for taking pictures on August 28th, the day we left NYC… For all of you who missed the goodbye “ceremony”.
From $86 million to $700 billion
Chicago… I blogged while there. I loved spending time with my aunt and cousins. Confession – part of why I’m on this tour is to see my folks in as many cities as possible!
We stayed with a marvelous older sister, E. Dali. Her home is called NIRVANA. And rightfully so. It’s one of those homes [...]
No One Left Behind
While still in Ann Arbor we watched Where in the World is Osama bin Laden? (done by the same dude that did Supersize Me.) It was really well done and I made a mental note: “Reel to Real Talk (link) has to see this!” Get it through your Netflix or Blockbuster subscription!
We [...]
Oh, so I’m assuming you’ve read it?
We’ve been through so many cities and I haven’t had access to the internet often. So I’m recapping two weeks later. To catch you up… To complete our Detroit experience…
Before heading out, Pippi got a new veggie oil tank and we had a cage created for us at a welding spot at [...]
