Expounding and Imagining

 My last post was a bout a Center housed at my current church and imagining what that would offer.  I'm attempting to list out my thoughts and questions I'd like to address.  This is different. I'm thinking of the way I'd write songs and how was used to sitting down and piecing everything together at once. It was later on that I engaged in a process where I'd write a little at a time and come back to it. Some songs came together better over time.  I bring all that up to give myself permission to not ideate everything all at once and be open to the process. I want to start with the Black Church. Personally, I'd like to explore the history and legacy as a Black institution. I'd like to explore the Black Church in the Cambridge and Boston area.  How the history of Pentecostal Tabernacle and the role that it has played in the community.  With this church at present being a multicultural and multiethnic church, how did it get that way? What influenced this shift...

The Death of Nick Charles

This is my first post of 2013! This isn't really the post that I want to start the year off with so let's play catch up. For New Years I went to church, shot my first gun and drank champagne with my cousins. I was pretty excited to get back to work for the Spring semester. One reason being because each semester serves as a fresh start. Another reason being because I had a class that wouldn't start until February, so my load this time around is much lighter. I enrolled into an acting class. Our first assignment, and the reason for this post, is to pick a poem that could be delivered in a minimum of 2 minutes in length. I don't follow poetry too much so I chose the first long poem in Black Voices. It's called The Death of Nick Charles by Everett LeRoi Jones, who I later found out is Amiri Baraka.

White Stole The Show

Breaking news last week was that Zeta Tau Alpha won the Sprite Step Off Competition receiving $100,000 to donate to scholarships for the chapter. After winning it was made public that after a scoring discrepancy between the first and second place winners has been identified the second place winners, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, would recieve the same amount. I'm blown by the controversy around it. I took some time and looked at the videos of each contestant that made it to the final round and to me it is clear why ZTA won. Those white girls stepped they tail off and represented from start to finish. Mind you, the video I linked you all to does not show full performances for the other frats but yo them chicks brought it. I don't read news stories as much as I do the comments. It is good to see those that agree with me but it's shocking how ignorant some people are. Of course the majority of the comments had to deal with race. I found a lot of comments about how stepping is ...
