I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with my mentor poet mother at the African World Festival. This was a beautiful event which to me was also a reminder that the summer was coming to an end.The school year is coming back up but there is still plenty going on.
Unfortunately the collaboration album with poet "Untitled" is to again be postponed for a later release but it is not over. It is still happening just that other projects and responsibilities are requiring more time. The album People of the Water is out, selling for only 10 dollars and featuring 19 great tracks of poetry and artistic journey.
I will be featuring at well known Detroit venue They Say Thursday, September 2nd. There i'll do poems from the album and also new ones i've written since. Following that I feature Wednesday September 8th at the Sweet Epiphany poetry lounge. Here i'll do a second set of poetry both from the album and other new ones, and I have a few surprises for this one. Later in the month i'll be a performer at Peace Day in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This is a celebration of ethnic and cultural diversity, acceptance and equality.
Outside of poetry,i've gotten the honorable privledge of being nominated as Presidential Ambassador for University of Detroit Mercy's College of Liberal Arts and Education (CLAE). There will be plenty of other events that I will attend representing my peers and school. I'm also looking forward to a new occupation working with the schools newspaper. More details will be provided on that later.
The future is what we make it,despite everything going on in the world we can make a brighter day. Hope to hear from you all in the days to come.
