About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Georgia, United States

I am a Child of the Most High, Author, Poet, Playwright, Griotte and CEO of Revolutionary Disciples Media and Co-founder of Revolutionary Christian Ministries. I am mommy to the most anointed, precious and handsome little boy in the world, the baby God gave me out of my heart. After graduating from Davidson College, I taught drama at an alternative school, serving the needs of behaviorally challenged youth. I helped to establish Neighborhood Networks Computer Centers in culturally diverse areas in Boston, teaching regular computer classes, digital storytelling, and incorporating my love for poetry and drama into each center. The spiritual and educational needs of rural youth are very important to me. Author: Love Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (Christian Fiction) Images and Rhythms of Generations, 1 & 2 (Poetry) God Says the Struggle is Over (Children’s Lit Series) . Currently I am sitting on a couple of Gospel plays for future production. So any directors looking for a phenomenal new play to put on….get in touch with me.

call of the drums




brother's got the rhythm in his bones,
encoded on his DNA.
he's got the fire
wanna jump, scream and holler--
got soul,
got speed
. . . dips . . .
. . . grinds . . .
got the blues--got jazz
got the call of the motherland--
that goes back to the
days before slavery
got the blues--
got jazz--
got soouull!
got freedom in his moves
got pain--got joy--
got sorrow . . .
got the feeling of our people--
got our nation, our children in his loins.
as he dances--
bebop, hiphop, jazz, soul, blues, rap
is being encoded on their DNA. . . .
ahhhhh yeahhhhhh
they gonna have the blues/soul/jazz
and freedom too.
