    PROSE from Shawn Alleyne

    What's up peeps.
    I've mentioned a few times before that i partnered with an amazing organization by the name of Mothers In Charge @mothersinchargeinc to produce The Artivism Project. @the_artivism_project
    MIC is a violence prevention, education and intervention-based organization, who advocate and support youth, young adults, families and communities affected by violence. By combining my Character Design Workshop with trama healing exercises with a co-instructor, Artivism was born. 
    At the end of the 6-week workshop I take the kids' sketches and stories and do my professional rendition of their characters. Here's the newest batch of characters from an Artivism cohort that recently wrapped up.  
    1) Krocadile 
    2) Fuju
    3) DayDream
    4) Nir
    5) Nanobot
    6) Hyper Phoenix

  2. MY COMMENT love the school house rock shirt:) what is that on zenobia's shirt? 13:51 your black mama mindset is too strong:) it is 2024:) yes, zenobia , smile:) .. as black individuals acquire fortunates or more financially opulent lifestyle, will the black parental mold, born from the quarters of the enslaved, become similar to the white parental mold born from the house of the enslavers? no soul food ending:) you two really liked this film? was this the best film you guys saw from the past ten reviews? the power of non advertising:) that is how gems get through cover image
  3. Tananarive Due speech transcript, not perfect - Thank you so much to the LA times - the other nominees were incredible to say this this is an honor is an understatement back in 2014 I got a phone call from the florida state attorney's office And learned that my great uncle robert stevens died in 1937 at a notorious - school for boys, a reformatory in florida and after attending a meeting there with my father freedom rider john - due jr I knew I had to write about robert stevens but i also knew that my story would need a different ending , and ghost The novel took me seven years, to write, thank you so much to my husband Steven Barnes, I love you so much, also a great writer, for keeping me on the path, my editor-, my agent donald- , my father for helping me manage the jim crow judge's chamber, my sister joanna- , and my late mother patricia - due, for her courage as a civil rights activist. If I didn't know what should happen next in my book I just had to ask what would mom had done. There are countless robert- stevens in the world. And too few of them get a happy ending. so as we face the horrors in our world, in our cities, in gaza and elsewhere. And where there's true life racism , homophobia , islamaphobia, and antisemiticsm, let us honor the courage of young people as the primary creators of change throughout history and the lesson my mother taught me , activism takes many many forms, as the late octavia a butler said, the only lasting truth is change. thank you very much
  4. well done, thanks:) I asked there what I will ask here? where is the website, who owns this? I searched online and didn't find a website? how? @Chevdove and all others , let us make a list of all the black federal wide competitions in the usa, federal wide, I can't believe many exists
  5. @Milton I put what I placed on your blog... will you follow me on aalbc? Many artist found themselves adding a different aspect of their operations during the covid19. I admit I have been slow to embrace escapism but I didn't feel the same sense of loss during 2020-2022 as many others. Glad you are going in another path. On a literary note, when I think of "American Fiction" the film or the book it is from "Erasure" from percival e. I think a great contrast exist between writing in a new genre to placate to an old negative environment opposed to writing in a new genre to embrace a new positive aspect in one's environment. good luck:) as always
