Download or read book My Spoken Words written by Rahimah S. Phillips and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-05 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She had just turned fifty years young and was having the time of her life! She felt like she was living her best life! She looked good and felt great! Then, things changed--real quick. She was scheduled for a colonoscopy but could never seem to get to the doctor's office early enough. She didn't want to take a day off work. Not for this. Maybe, if she had, things would have been different. Throughout this collection of poetry, Rahimah shares her feelings of living with a death sentence. As she struggles to survive and find ways to cope with a life-threatening illness, she uses poetry to help describe her feelings and express her thoughts. Then, just when things were starting to get better, came this horrible disease called COVID-19. Then, there were so many more emotions. Mixed emtions... Confined to her home, Rahimah began to watch the news. Although some people came together, they remained apart. As Rahimah prayed for the struggles to end, she saw people killing and being killed. There were people who did not believe in unity, equality, equity, and dignity. As her words hit the paper and she spoke into her cell phone, her poetry came alive. Rahimah began to capture other people's emotions and incorporated them into her poetry. She continued to listen. She continued to live. She continued to breathe, without ease. She continued to yearn. She continued to learn. Rahimah's poetry expresses feelings of faith, hope, courage, determination, and strength. And with the belief that "a picture is worth a thousand words" (Fred R. Barnard), Rahimah captures poetry in motion and uses vibrant pictures to continue expressing other feelings such as love, joy, peace, happiness, and pride--during challenging times.

They don’t understand why they can’t just stay on the Spirit family’s beloved farm and play with the animals. Together, the twin sisters have everything they need in each other, even their own song and backwards language. Despite their parents’ encouragement, the girls are not sold on going to school, especially after meeting Mrs. Osa. The principal of Sylvia Public School, who reminds the girls of a bear, decides to separate the twins, putting them into different classes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charm and Dawn are soul sistas from the heart. They share everything and have the best adventures on their Spirit family farm. When their parents, Alexandra and Nathan, adopted them from birth—first Charm, then Dawn—the two girls were by each other’s sides from day one. But living in a rural town, not everyone saw the true beauty of the Spirit family. Polite but distant, the town was wary of a Black family with two diverse daughters—one Black and one white. Charm and Dawn, though, knew that this was really a superpower, and they created their own world to show others how great it is to be part of the soul sista’s dynamics. The Adventures of the Soul Sistas celebrates diversity and the true meaning of family through the eyes of two wonderful superheroes.

Download or read book Hip Hop s Amnesia written by Reiland Rabaka and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012-05-18 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did rap music and hip hop culture inherit from the spirituals, classic blues, ragtime, classic jazz, and bebop? What did rap music and hip hop culture inherit from the Black Women’s Club Movement, New Negro Movement, Harlem Renaissance, Hipster Movement, and Black Muslim Movement? How did black popular music and black popular culture between 1900 and the 1950s influence white youth culture, especially the Lost Generation and the Beat Generation, in ways that mirror rap music and hip hop culture’s influence on contemporary white youth music, culture, and politics? In Hip Hop’s Amnesia award-winning author, spoken-word artist, and multi-instrumentalist Reiland Rabaka answers these questions by rescuing and reclaiming the often-overlooked early twentieth century origins and evolution of rap music and hip hop culture. Hip Hop’s Amnesia is a study about aesthetics and politics, music and social movements, as well as the ways in which African Americans’ unique history and culture has consistently led them to create musics that have served as the soundtracks for their socio-political aspirations and frustrations, their socio-political organizations and nationally-networked movements. The musics of the major African American social and political movements of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s were based and ultimately built on earlier forms of “African American movement music.” Therefore, in order to really and truly understand rap music and hip hop culture we must critically examine both classical African American musics and the classical African American movements that these musics served as soundtracks for. This book is primarily preoccupied with the ways in which post-enslavement black popular music and black popular culture frequently served as a soundtrack for and reflected the grassroots politics of post-enslavement African American social and political movements. Where many Hip Hop Studies scholars have made clever allusions to the ways that rap music and hip hop culture are connected to and seem to innovatively evolve earlier forms of black popular music and black popular culture, Hip Hop’s Amnesia moves beyond anecdotes and witty allusions and earnestly endeavors a full-fledged critical examination and archive-informed re-evaluation of “hip hop’s inheritance” from the major African American musics and movements of the first half of the twentieth century: classic blues, ragtime, classic jazz, swing, bebop, the Black Women’s Club Movement, the New Negro Movement, the Harlem Renaissance, the Bebop Movement, the Hipster Movement, and the Black Muslim Movement.

An excellent reference for those seeking to understand cultural differences as well as for those looking for encouragement in their own lives, Soul Sisters, Come on to My House beautifully shows how opening your heart and your mind will make the world a better place for all.

Book excerpt: This soul stirring, heart moving gospel story is about a young adult lady who has a real resilient and passionate love for God and a deep-seated love for her childhood friends that lived in her neighborhood and that she went to school with to be saved from the evil temptations and the luring devices of this world system and pursue a life of promoting good and upholding righteousness through God’s grace and love. In one of the scenes there are Some Churchgoers who are gathered around the front of the church just before the services starts. Only with itching ears can you wait to hear what they have to say. It’s a soul culture. Another scene Friends (very special) who grew up together, and now years later are talking on the telephone about old times. They fell in love and then grew apart, but the love never faded. One has become very successful but has an emptiness inside searching for real love. Deep inside, it’s hard for him to love or trust anyone. So, he calls a friend who was a beauty queen, wore the latest styles and had a new boy toy every week. She learned over the years to put up a good front, but secretly, she was trying to find a true relationship with God. She was trying to hide her emptiness until she gave her life to God and filled all the empty spaces. The result of “Soul Thang” is when prayer and faith work together souls are reached. This is what true victory looks like especially when it comes from a message of hope.
