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 [...]
Bloggericious
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 [...]
“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 [...]
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. [...]
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, [...]
