My blogs
| Introduction | I am first and foremost a poet, artist, and social observer. My poetry reflects my social justice perspective and observations of life and explores topics such as relationships; spirituality; the realities of being/living of African descent in the USA; politics; the universal condition; and explorations and observations on the kaleidoscope of self. By trade, I am a consultant and anti-racism / anti-oppression "specialist" and facilitator. I study the historical development, manifestations, and trends around the "ism" issues in American society that have been used to systematically and institutionally oppress groups of people since the inception of the United States of America. My particular focuses are racism/white supremacy and internalized oppression (when oppressed people believe, internalize, and act upon those denigrating messages and stereotypes developed and attached to them by majority society). "Blogging Amerikkka" will focus on deconstructing racism/white supremacy and internalized oppression found in all aspects of every day life: popular culture and society, the legal system, entertainment, media,etc. Hope that you will join me there and add your comments to my own... |
