His work is unparalleled in hues that identify his mastery.

Garden Spices continues to be enamored by the work of Stephen Abban Jr. His tales in muted, sepia colors invite us to take part in his traditions. He continues to pay homage to a culture long forgotten, as well as contemporary themes relevant and necessary to continue traditions. Gate open. - Victor...

Kevin Moore invites us to live right- move.

As we go about our daily lives, people constantly speak about health-related issues. People have a host of common diseases, such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and even digestive issues, to name a few. People are overweight. What is an underlying common denominator with all of these issues? Mov...

This needs to be shared.

The question is how do we sustain our energy. So, my next question is, what energy are we talking about? Is there a difference? Is there a separation of the physical, emotional, and spiritual energy? What do we mean by our energy? We could be discussing our physical stamina, emotional strength, or s...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

“Yo’ Mama! ” We would throw it off the back of our shoulders, as though there was a chord of truth that a mama could resemble anything crass, ugly, or, much worse, laughable. “Yo’ mama” was perceived as a funny dig because most of us knew the truth about our mothers. We knew they were our touchstone, our “goo,” the symbol of vigilant light, perpetually burning for us. During those days, as they rocked us, they had to be our rock.

…was the comeback for any insult in the ’50s and ’60s on most Black streets. “Yo’ Mama! ” We would throw it off the back of our shoulders, as though there was a …

Loved Ones,

Our featured image by photographer David Rhodes portrays the beauty and fragility of a child. He captured her fatigue of waiting; we are all waiting for the world to come together, and we must be the catalyst. We are about to spring forward, and we must do it with purpose, lessons learned, and insight. Where do we start? Of course, as individuals, we do what we can, positively impacting conditions. However, we look to the children for hope, the innocents that know so much more than we do about love before we get our hands on them. We instill insight into the possibility and action of healing the world.

Celebrating Our Differences

"Although Pat resides in New York and sings with the 50’s revival group, The Crystals, she is a Bama girl, born and raised in Birmingham, AL. It was there that Ms. Margaret Pritchard, Pat’s mother, made sweet potato pie. Pat, consistently over her mom’s shoulder, took heed from her mother’s words. “Keep it light.” Ms. Margaret is no longer with us, but her pie’s sweetness and “light touch” generate a warm and fuzzy feeling. But, then, our talk of such things was on, like a pot of neck bones! What?!" - Victorine

It all started with sweet potato pie. I have known my sista’ friend, Pat Lewis, since college. During one of our frequent phone conversations, she told me she made her mama’s sweet pota…

I guess y'all can't believe that we had the nerve to drive to Chicago in July. We had to. First, to celebrate Mama Jeanette, that beauty I blogged about, and secondly, to introduce Mr. K. to my city/friends-family/sights/food, and third, to see the Bisa Butler exhibit. What?!
