I know a lot of powerful Thinkers, Speakers, Poets, Spoken Word artist Etc... We've decided to put our minds and talents together in one publication to produce an entertaining thought provoking project. Although many of us are in different parts of the world, we all are connected and united for one common cause, to spread our knowledge and life experiences for the next generation to build and learn from. I know you will enjoy it as much as we did creating it... Peace
As a black male, I am constantly asked why I care about how black women choose to wear their hair. I've gotten into debates and heated arguments over the years on the subject, from whether black women should where their natural hair to embrace what God has given them and be an example to young black girls looking for an identity in this world, to whether their hair shouldn't matter when it comes to defining who black women are. I personally believe every part of you defines who you are as a person, from how you wear your hair, how you speak and how you present yourself in general. I have been Loc'd for the past sixteen years, and while I can't speak for everyone, I can surely say it's one of the best decisions I've made in my life.
Prepare to be amazed and entertained. You would be surprised how beautiful words can be when put together the right way in the proper sequence. In my opinion, anyone can write poetry if they focused on it, we just don't have confidence in our imaginations. I say let your mind go, let your mind be free, and watch where it takes you....
If more people sat down and wrote down their thoughts, there would be less stress and a lot more books published in the world. I started writing over 20 years ago and haven't put my pen down since! Whether I'm writing a short story, poetry or a health themed book, I always try to free my mind through written expression. Instead of saying you can't do it or you don't know where to begin, just pick up a pen and start writing, or go to the closest computer and start typing, I guarantee you will feel better after you release pent up thoughts and emotions.
Imagine dealing with problem after problem after problem after problem in your life! For most of us, we don't have to imagine, it's a reality! From pain, to sickness to heartache, to the loss of a loved one, loss of a job, Etc, if you're human, more than likely you've dealt with or are dealing with a test in your life, whether big or small! The trick is how you deal with and overcome these tests. If we can keep in mind that nothing lasts forever, we will be able to better handle and deal with these obstacles. I look at tests as a way to learn and to better myself for now and for the long run! How do you view the Tests in your life? Ask yourself that...
Here it is! After having so much success with Volume one of my Poetry series, I decided to come right back with out hesitation with Volume 2. In this work, I expand a little deeper on different topics plaguing my community as a whole. There's a lot of blood sweat and tears in these pages but the vivid pictures painted make you feel like you're right there as things are happening. I thank you for taking the time out of your life to read my thoughts in rhyme. I appreciate you. Fly Ty Unchained madeintheimageofgod@yahoo.com
luckily I was able to cross paths with a great person who also happens to be a great chef, Miss Erica McCier. I was in the process of publishing my ninth book when we had a conversation and I suggested that she print and publish her personal recipes in a cook book, and she said she would think on it. A few days later, she called me and said she was interested and she wanted me to be a part of it. Being that I make smoothies and fruit juices at home, I felt I could contribute to her book in a positive way so I decided to join her. I love educating my community anyway that I can and the foods we choose to eat are very important to maintaining good overall health. I hope we were able to help you choose a healthier lifestyle through the recipes that we came up with in this publication..

We are a powerful group of Dread Heads! From different states, different time zones, with different beliefs, different backgrounds, different goals, Etc; But we were fortunately able to come together for one common cause. Every one deals with trials and tribulations in their life, as well as joy and happiness and we decided to share our experiences with the world in our Knotty Dread Diaries. I hope that you will enjoy, be intrigued, feel sad, mad, be uplifted, Feel disappointed, fall in love, Etc, after reading our thoughts. It was with great pleasure that I was able to participate in something as special as this with such a special group of intelligent Loc'd Kings and Queens. I hope you as a reader will be as entertained as I was while going through each writer's work. Peace...
