this is a repost from Facebook...

 Words have power, especially when media (WHYY, FOX, CNN, the public etc.) uses them so often they become common language. Its questionable that the same people who are fast to call Haitian Survivors Looters, when the same people are ready to lose their mind when their parking spaces are taken, you are skipped in line (...supermarket or waiting for the Metro) or when

Imagine not eating for days or the stinch of death. What would you do? I would survive, how about you?

This is not a war...they are not burgulars, and they are not responsible for the Earthquake....its human survival...hmmmmmff. Lose your priviledge and be human for once. Lets approach this with sensitivity.

Looting (Verb)...
Looter (Noun)

1.spoils or plunder taken by pillaging, as in war.
2.anything taken by dishonesty, force, stealth, etc.: a burglar's loot.

Osam Cherisma carries the body of his killed daughter Fabienne in Port-au-Prince on January 19. Relatives told AFP that Haitian police killed the 15-year-old girl while firing warning shots over looters in the capital.

excerpt from Daily Motivation for African American Success by Dennis Kimbro

_______________________AUGUST 31_______________________

The Day Your Life Turned Around

"Most of us measure our success by what others haven't done."
---Tina Turner



Decide, once and for all, that you will be the best you can be in whatever you set out to do. George Johnson, founder of JOhnson Products and one of Black America's wealthiest individuals, once offered these comments to a local business group:

"Be the best that you can be. Have faith in yourself. Be a person of worth and know it. Believe in yourself. Hold in your consciousness a vision of the life you desire. Move through each day with a vision of yourself as strong, yet loving -flexible, yet in charge. Act as though failing was impossible. Within you are limitless possibilities waiting for birth. Go ahead, give life to them."


Choose to see yourself, as well as mankind, as the creative expression of a living God. The Book of Genesis says the Creator, the sovereign of the universe, breathed into our nostrils and gave us life. In other words, each of us contains a part of the divine. Only when we are committed to excellence can we begin to measure up to all that we were created to be. Only when we see mankind as the product of a Supreme Being can we explain those thousands of daily strivings that urge us to live up to the best within us.


If you want the kind of happiness and deep personal satisfaction out of life that no one can destroy, search until you find what you do best. Consider who you are. You were born for greatness.


MAKE A STRONG COMMITMENT TO REACH YOUR FULL POTENTIAL.

Young artists have went retro. They are mixing their voice with the culture, dress, and sounds from the 1920's - 80's. With the recent passing of our brother, Michael Jackson, we are really going to see a resurgence of the past.

As a lover of art and not frequent enough attender to live performance venues (and here in Philly, the live events are off-the-charts), I've been blessed to watch this retro phenomenon unfold.

A three piece female trio who incorporate the sound and moves of the Supremes, "Boy Wonder" barely 21 kills the guitar with blues and soul so good he gets the 'old heads' on the floor, "Government Cheese", an old school hip hop rock band whose name reminds us of the days of creativity...and to top this off, more and more younger people (age 28-35) are at the oldies parties! Go figure.

Hezekiah w-Jafar Baron
& DJ Statik

But, this didn't just happen. It's been a few years in the making. Old becomes new. Well, new to the younger generation. Maybe its the grace, sophistication, and commitment of previous eras may be the attraction.
Pictured: Janelle Monáe, a Chief Founder of The Wondaland Arts Society, an independent record label and mystery school that designs capes for superheroes and art for aliens, which has a current deal with Bad Boy Records. Ms. Monáe states, "With regards to the way that I dress, to the things that come out of my mouth, I'm really trying to give a different perspective." Considering for a moment, she adds, "and I think there are a lot of young girls out there who are like me."

In 2006, Melanie Heimberg, a staff writer for the Golden Gate Xpress, states, "In an act of rebellion, music listeners everywhere are turning their backs away from their own generation's music..." in an article entitled Retro Music Has Modern Appeal. Melanie further shares San Fransisco State humanities professor Saul Steier's statements, "This phenomenon is particularly strange because nostalgia is usually reserved for old age. No prior generations have been more consumed with the past than today's college population."

Just think about it, Outkast bringing the 20's to hip hop, Erykah Badu brought popularity back to jazz and blues for many younger artists who are reflecting this influence in their music. Jazmine Sullivan, Jill Scott, Rihanna, and on...

Philadelphia's own, HEZEKIAH, a 20 something year old producer, emcee, musician with vocals, and Cody Chestnutt**, reminding you of Marvin Gaye, brings you right back to the 60s. Their collaboration, "WHAT KINA COOL", is an epitome of today's retro.

This conscious cool 60s throwback will get you to thinking as well as help garner a new audience for young Hezekiah. While, he is definitely hip hop, his mixing of live instrumentation, use of horns, jazz undertones, and more conscious diverse content definitely garners him a significant 30-45 year old audience.

"What kina cool will we think of next to hide behind?"  THE YOUNG & THE RETRO.

Blurb:
Ashley Bennett is a physical therapist burnt out from the job because of all of the rich, spoiled patients she has had to put up with. She moves back to San Angelo, TX to be closer to her family and friends. She has made enough money to live comfortably for a little while until she decides what she wants to do. Unfortunately things don't go as she planned. Upon stopping by the hospital where she started out in physical therapy, she runs into her old mentor. While there her help is enlisted for a patient who needs her expertise. When she finds out the new patient is Christopher Morgan, her world is sent into a tailspin. She and Chris have a history. They have been friends since the age of five and she had kept a secret from him. It is a secret that could rock the foundation of their friendship. She is in love with him.

Christopher Morgan feels like he is having the worst luck in the world lately. His mother is an awful meddlesome matchmaker distracting him from being able to find the woman of his dreams on his own. It only gets worse when his horse training session goes awry and he ends up in the hospital. To top it all off he is told his new physical therapist is Ashley Bennett, his childhood friend and woman he has secretly been in love with for years. He had no idea she was back in town but now that he does he doesn't plan to let her go.


Happy Reading!
