Anonymous asked: Wow, I just read your last post and I have to comment that I feel you on the spiritual journey stuff. I have been feeling a similar kind of way about these things, but to read your post helped me open my eyes and pin down those feelings into a larger picture. So thank you :) Oh man, what we "want" and what we "need"... maybe we simply need the freedom to prosper and the freedom...

1. Name two things you would NOT tolerate in a relationship.
2. Which one of your friends do you think would make the best doctor? 3. When was the last time you snuck out? 4. Have you ever smoked? 5. Do you dream in black and white or color? 6. Have you ever been in love? 7. Do you drink ginger ale when you are sick? 8. Have you ever kissed someone of the same sex? 9. What is your favorite...

I read something in the metro this morning about Obama’s hope and dreams, and they said something very true. It’s not that his dreams couldn’t be brought about, but the system that is in place won’t let it because politicians only care about what benefits THEM and THEIR campaign, not the people they are supposed to be representing, so until will have a real UNION, we will...
What are you favorite protest songs?
Tumblr and life
I’m sitting at my dining room table, listening to Janelle Monae, browsing my dashboard looking at all these lovely pictures of models, designer clothes, mansions, beautiful oceans, blah blah blah.
Someone posts something about love. About people not caring anymore about personality, but only about looks.
And I mean, if you live in a world like, say perhaps Tumblr, of course you would...
George Lucas on "Red Tails" →
What have we got to do, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, to realize that RACISM is still running RAMPANT in our country? What have we got to do for the NON People of color to understand that there has never been a state of harmony, it might not be visible to the human eye, audible to the human ear, but it has been a persistent force in this country FOREVER. PEOPLE OF COLOR-I Challenge you to end the...
I wish
I wish all men and ESPECIALLY Women, could understand that a woman’s body is meant to carry and raise children. Of course, that isn’t all that women are about, but biologically, this is why we are made with hips, large breasts and strong legs. Make sure you are healthy ladies. Healthy comes in all different sizes.
We have let the people in advertisement of this country (mainly white...
WOW
My new meaning for these three letters:
W: woman
O: of
W: worth
Maybe, if the ladies of today, both young and old, thought themselves a WOW and not just ordinary, we could respect ourselves and other WOW more. And maybe, we will show the men how to treat us WOW. Its not just about buying us things and taking us out, but developing a relationship with our mind, a deep connection with our...

There is some amazing talent in this world, and no one should ever tell you that with your talent you cannot be amazing or brilliant. People should let your talent blossom and grow. But I believe talent comes with responsibility. Talent comes with a job. Do your job the best that you can personally can. Strive for Excellence every moment, but DO NOT think you cannot be humble in your talent and...

Food
I have a love/hate relationship with it.
I know what it’s supposed to do for my body.
But I’ve grown up in an American that’s all about processed, mass amounts of food.
But today, Right at this moment, I’m realizing the joy in fresh food.
I’m basking in my feeling of satisfaction from my lunch of nothing processed, just natural filling, whole grain food.

Soooo
Apparently Leo DiCaprio, Toby Maguire and Carrey Mulligan are filming, ‘The Great Gatsby’ 3D (Really 3D though? Hate movies that don’t need to be in 3d made in 3d) BUT LOVE THIS CAST! And the photos that have been popping up are to DIE FOR!
Though, I love Robert Redford as Gatsby, I think Leo will make a fine, fine Gatsby for this generations loving!

News... other than a new hair cut
I have a manager that I’ve been working with and trying to build some successful projects with
I’ve been teaching at my old school, The University of the Arts, heading an ensemble, “African Diaspora”. Which my students told me yesterday has a very more academic name than the music we are performing. Oh well, it’s not about that.
I am in the happiest relationship...

I’m trying to take care of the family who have supported all my dreams
Who worked more than 3 jobs to put my brother and I through college, and my brother through grad school
I’m trying to make their sacrifices our successes

Now those with the least education and/or the most connections are getting the...
What do you think...
If a market is flooded with similar, and not even inventive or more interesting, how do they expect to make money? Why work on the same thing if you are not reaching a void in a certain market? Why?
I’m watching “Work of Art” and they talk about what the artist is saying with their piece, what they are creating, and what new ideas they have to bring to the conversation.
Why...
Its time for something new. Its time to actually contribute something with my many talents, not just singing or music but management and educational leadership and workshop, curriculum and lesson plan writing. I am looking to get away from the New York tri-state area. There are other places in the world and specifically in this country that I would like to find where I am not just another...

My generation was told to get an education so you can find a job and be a contributing member of society. Now we arent hired because we have too much education, the members of society elected to help us have forgotten about our problems and focus on their status. No wonder we have settled on selling our bodies, souls, ideas and gifts to help us get to the job we need to get money so we can eat the...
It's Beautiful
To see others views and perspectives. It’s a wonderful thing to be secure enough in yourself to see all of them. That’s what I love about the blog world. Open your eyes not just to the fashion, to the celebrities, but to the opinions and stories and views. Share your stories, your successes. Be open, respectful and classy.

Lately
I’ve come to the realization that life isn’t supposed to be perfection. I thought I had really learned this, and I thought I embraced it, but the past few days have made me realize, that isn’t true.
When it comes to love, what you have in your mind as perfection for yourself may not be what your partner believes is perfect. You can see all your flaws as if they were laying in...

We are too focused
too focused, a majority of the time on the artist and not the art. Why do we give people who don’t make art, artists? Yes, art is subjective, but for the most part, we all know what’s art and what’s not. I’m not evening going as far as saying “good” art and “bad” art, because again, art is subjective. But I believe there are some things that we have...

I am mad
kreayshawn:
All I wanted to do is create and have a good time. But, this is quickly forming into something I never would have signed up for from being accused of being racist to getting my pre-teen nudes leaked everywhere. I feel like this shit ain’t my cup of tea. Someone else want my job right about now? Im just gotta sip lean and disappear. THIS GAME IS FAKE AS ALL HELL!

WatchThis is a Ted Talk about One Day of Peace, which is on Sept. 21st. I think we should all be aware of this, and try and do something in our communities about it. I’ve shared this on twitter, but I need to share it again.
