Giving thanks for Alexis De Veaux who teaches me that I am not the first one called to the task. Alexis De Veaux has published about a half dozen books with well known literary presses includi...

Wednesday, April 11, 2007. For this and every survivor. Is a four-letter word. An instruction after catching fire. A movement behind stop. A command we must memorize. If we would be safe. Is what we do to the kids. At school, at practice, at auntie's. Training for a next that will keep them (running). Warning that they will not be at home anywhere. Treason required by our other jobs. Is what the dj plays. What the hypeman says. The entrance of the beat(ing). Stretching our skin like a place to call.

Friday, January 19, 2007. A Note of Thansk. As a continued promotion of this healing spirit, I am choosing to fruit, vegetable and herbal tea detox every Tuesdays (the least valued day in the capitalistic world), knowing that to win this battle we must become whole. Knowing that WE are neither silence nor sacrifice. WE are celebration. Asha. Posted by MaMa Nia @ 5:16 AM. Sunday, January 14, 2007. Reclaiming our spirits- Join us in a three day fast.

Wednesday, August 23, 2006. Short film on young black women and beauty standards. I got an email about this short film by Kiri Davis about the internalization of racist beauty standards by young black women. It's well done, and the young women featured speak very articulately about racism, colorism, loss of heritage, and other things. It's only seven minutes long and you can watch it online. It's pretty heartbreaking. Maybe a resource Ubuntu/education group could use? Posted by Nick @ 6:59 AM. I'm sure t...

Monday, October 16, 2006. Isreali Police Ready to Charge President with Rape. Something to learn from. Please look at this article (which Emily posted to the list) and comment on it. Also note that Pres. Katsav uses Clarence Thomas's classic defense.that he is the victim of a "public lynching". Police back Katsav rape charges *. Israeli police say there is evidence to charge President Katsav with rape, as he prepares to open parliament. Posted by lex @ 8:07 AM. I am that survivor. A Girl Like Me.
