WOMBEN'S MONTH IS SO DOPE!!!!

I solicited my services in promoting my sisters on facebook, via email, text & this blog. I can't tell you what happened but there were some pretty awesome times that went down this month and I feel the need to turn my attention to those events...

Da BeatMinerz Master Mix Weekend was SO DOPE! If you were listening from March 1st to the 3rd, you're probably still listening to the recorded sessions over and over again on Ustream! March 3rd after the broadcast, Da BeatMinerz had a party to spin for and the whole team went to the party!

SUPPORT GOOD PEOPLE & THEIR ENDEAVORS!!!

As far as I'm concerned, Black Our Story Month should be an extension of the 7 principles of Kwanzaa and continue throughout the 4 weeks of February, if not, the whole year. Technically, we should be giving and receiving of each other all year long so we can accomplish the things we want as well as make our dreams come to fruition. So to commemorate what I feel we should be doing as a people, I dedicate this blog to support, expose and give love to the endeavors of myself and others that would make this world a better place. So let's go! As far as great music and parties are concerned, check this out:

March 1st-March 3rd is "Mix Masters Weekend", so tune into www.beatminerzradio.com, or check www.ustream.tv. Check the lineup of DJs and the times they spin at Instagram: djevildee.

The Age of AQUARIUS!

Happy Healthy YOU Year, my people! If you don't know, my bearthday was February 7th... "I'm the seventh seed to exit Umi's womb, when civil rights were wrongs/blacks and whites sang songs together..." and I'm feeling myself right now. Big tings a gwan and I'm glad to be busy, happy, rejuvenated and so ready for each and every one of them.


I had a party to celebrate "ME" on Thursday, 2/7/13 at Brooklyn Stable in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and it was DOPE! Da BeatMinerz were SPINNING TUNES!!!

And if you've ever been to any one of their weekly parties back in the day, (@ Opus, Joe's Pub, Sputnik or their annual free bearthday party at Sutra), then you know it was BANANAS! A few friends of mine came through to bless the Queen with their presence in spite of the blizzard warning popping up on everyone's cell phone earlier that day. My daughter, Tajh,  provided the cupcakes and brownies for my guests. I was told by everybody that her desserts were delicious! I drank excessively. I danced all night in 4 inch heels and never tripped or skipped a beat. (You know I don't do heels!) I thank all my people, DJs Mr. Walt and Evil Dee and Brooklyn Stable for making my bearthday party so special to me! If you're my friend on Facebook, you can check the pictures out! :)

My successful party was confirmation of my belief that if my intentions are good-hearted, I respect myself and others and support those I find worthy, I will receive, in return, the same sentiment, energy and blessings! My affirmations are equivalent to The Laws of Attraction... Universal Laws...


 I awakened with no headache or hangover and have been on a natural high since.


I have mad work to do including going back to dance class. I found my first African dance teacher and mentor on Facebook and she still holds free African dance classes in Harlem from 6pm to 8pm, Mondays and Wednesdays. (That class will become routine for a sister.) You may want to check it out: Reverend Nafisa Sharriff at West 144th St and 8th Avenue.

My baby girl is expecting her baby girl at the end of the month and my grandsun's bearthday is on February 28, so guess who's celebrating for the entire month? Cheeeah! New schedule as of February 8th consists of time-management, thought-provoking activity, scheduled but limited tell-lie-vision viewing, and exercising my mind, body and spirit by being in my kitchen cooking, dancing, reading books and meditating... Woooosah!


I'll be selling my all-natural body scrubs and butters this week and beginning some new media projects. Things are busy and I love the fact that my time without a 9-2-5 is being productively spent. If you're interested in my inventory, check out my store on etsy @ www.wemanifest.etsy.com. You'll find jewelry, accessories and body products for sale. A few more items can be found at www.WeManifestMarket.bigcartel.com.

QUESTIONS?
Is it me or is the radio playing the same lame music over and over again? Can I get a count of how many people would be down to discuss this issue? Why is scripted reality TV the rave? Let me know your thoughts because this whole media dumb down program is pissing me off and I've lost faith long ago in the very industry that keeps this crap going!  PEACE

GIVE THANKS,EVERYDAY!!!

Greetings, Family!

 I have great news and great sales from BALANCE & HAIR BY NATURE popping off until December 22, 2012! They will be advertised on the bottom of this post, with my upcoming showcase at The Nuyorican Poets Cafe on December 15th. First and foremost, I must say I hope everyone had a safe, family-love-filled, fun, exciting and; delicious Turkey Day! I enjoyed the solitude of my home and the knowledge that my family was doing fine.

Side Note: From upstate NY to Canada, the Iroquois were also called the Six Nations: Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca, Cayuga, Tuscarora & Mohawk. The Iroquois Tribe was based on matri-lineage, consisting of the descendants, through females, from a single woman. Mohawks were called "The Keepers of the Eastern Door".


Like I wrote in my blog last year in November, I'm weaning myself from these ridiculous AmeriKKKan holy days. If you don't know the lies they've fed us for years, then your ignorance is your bliss and you choose to ignore the truth. The truth is NOT what the history books read, but the accounts of people other than white men who were land and business owners. In short, the Pilgrims traveled to get away from whatever they were dealing with and didn't know how to farm, irrigate or deal with the unknown, possibly hostile, lands they just rode onto, unannounced and uninvited. The Indians were peaceful, intelligent people who lived off the land by living in harmony with her. Indians showed the Pilgrims how to grow corn, get water from the ground and farm for continued sustenance. Indians were in tune with Nature and respected all living things.


In turn the Indians were slaughtered, given blankets filled with small pox and an intoxicant they never had before - liquor. Soon the white settlers took the land from the drunken, sickly and slaughtered Indians. This is the reason they gave thanks! They thanked the Indians for showing them how to live in harmony with the land by killing them and poisoning the very energy the Indians respected and maintained for centuries. The Pilgrims gave thanks because their hostile takeover was a success! 

I certainly don't need lies, parades, excess food or corny arts & crafts for youngsters in school to take away the disturbing images of the truth. I'm of the Iroquois Tribe/Six Nations Clan, a Mohawk to be exact, and still hold anger towards the people who effed up the world by killing off the Keepers of the Spirit & the Keepers of Mother Earth! Those that celebrate, were those who desecrated the earth and it's keepers. So I call this 3rd Thursday of November, Turkey Day! I'm thankful EVERYDAY! I don't need to cook a feast on a designated day to show how thankful I truly am! 

 I'M THANKFUL that my Father, Sister & Nana are at Peace; my Mother is in good spirits and health; my family members are healthy and safe; my children are excelling in all aspects; my grandsun's prodigal status is stellar; everyday I wake up with two working arms, two working legs and all 5 senses in tact; there's food in my belly & in my home; there's warmth when it's cold and shade in the heat; music exists and I can contribute to it's beauty & creativity; I have the clothes on my back, the wisdom I've gained and the losses I've experienced that made me better & stronger; for each breathe I take... 

Then there's Black Friday! People use every possible means to purchase love at a discount. Store hopping in the early am before the sun rises to get a whole bunch of stuff, that will probably take you a year to pay off and you camp out after you stuff your face to be a devout consumer and catch the deals for Christmas gifts. And this is okay with people? The very next day, after you claim to give thanks for all you already have? WOW! For real, though...


Speaking of which...
HOLIDAY SALE ON BALANCE PRODUCTS from 11-22-12 through 12-22-12
