Voices Unbound; A Call for Faith Leaders to Speak Truth in the Public Square!

With hearts aflame, they take their stand, Embracing justice, hand in hand. Boldly advocating, breaking the mold, For what they believe, courageous and bold. Inclusive and diverse, […]

Move the Line; a call for action!

O faith leaders, hear my humble plea, In sacred spaces where hearts gather free, I beseech you to heed the urgent call, To move the line, dismantle prejudice’s wall. In your hands, you hold the power divine, To guide your flocks, to shape their minds, With words of compassion and […]

The Power of Change; a spoken word inspired by the article, “Stay Black and Breathe” by Alexis Pauline Gumbs

In the hands of the many, tendered and twined, Rests the power of change, our collective mind. We stand at the dawn, where futures are penned, In the chapters of progress, where hearts transcend. The coins of our will, they shimmer and gleam, Every cent a promise, every nickel a […]

Pride Unfurled: A Journey of Colors

In the corridors of history, a story unfolds, A tapestry woven with colors bold. From shadows emerged a community unseen, A vibrant spectrum, fierce and keen. The march begins with a single flame, Igniting courage, shedding shame. In the heart of darkness, Stonewall stood, A flashpoint of change, where courage […]

For my family; a spoken word of love

In the cradle of family, we find our first lessons, In the arms of kin, we learn the meaning of ties, Bonds that run deep, deeper than the marrow, Yet, sometimes we drift, on separate currents, opposite skies. To my family, those who stay, and those who turn away, I […]
