American African Violet



“Yes ,Yes we do”!
“Then we will no longer go out in humiliation in front of our children and take it out on them when we can’t find work and provide the necessities to live as we deserve.


No shopping, no spending money, save every penny and cooperate! Like, like corporations and create a unified resource to meet our needs and provide a future for our children, they need us to do this for them”.

American Violet



“We are Americans , like it or not, this is where we live, this is where our ancestors lived and died and fought and we have the same responsibility to fight for our country right in our own neighborhoods, in our lives in our children’s lives”

“We’ve tried to call ourselves black, most recently, it doesn’t feel right, it doesn’t fit. We have been named a few different times by others in this country. We are simply people. This is how we see ourselves, as people, though we were seen as something else, even documented as property, objects, not even human.  We almost believed it was all true. We act out and demonstrate what we have been trained to believe we are, based on others treatment of us. Black is a color”. 

“Let me give you the definition of black: Black is the color of coal, ebony, and of outer space. It is the darkest color, the result of the absence of or complete absorption of light. We are unique, we have something others don’t have and we are American through and through not a color”.

Phenomenal



 “Nina Simone, phenomenal”! At age twelve she debuted with a classical recital. Her parents, who had taken seats in the front row, were forced to move to the back of the recital hall to make way for white people. Nina Simone refused to play until her parents were moved back to the front row; she was just twelve years old!


Our gifts are in us, and we should be as strong and fearless as a twelve year old about giving them out to people freely or out of fear or rejection. It’s yours for keeps so keep it and take good care of it. Always, you are all Phenomenal!

American African Violet



“Sojourner Truth walked with no shoes the distance from Georgia to Ohio looking for her child taken from her during slavery. Don’t you believe that it is worth our forging a commitment now for the sake of our children and their future”?

“Yes ,Yes we do”!
“Then we will no longer go out in humiliation in front of our children
And take it out on them when we can’t find work and provide the necessities to live as we deserve.


"No shopping, no spending money, save every penny and cooperate! Like, like corporations and create a unified resource to meet our needs and provide a future for our children, they need us to do this for them”.

  
As she spoke to the crowd at last nights meeting, she wanted the audience to understand that we are born with talent, we don’t get it from somewhere, it is in us already.

American Violet

Saintpaulias, commonly known as African violets, are a genus of 6–20 species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants in the family Gesneriaceae, native to Tanzania and adjacent southeastern Kenya in eastern tropical Africa.  

A MIXTURE OF 6-20 different types of the human race converge to create what we know to day as the black woman, powerful isn’t it.

Askance



What us gone do! What us gone do? 
Enough about them, what us gone do? Where do we start, it starts with the money us gotta stop spending our money, except for needs like food, water, electricity, gas and somewhere to sleep at night. 

We got to get together and take one step at a time and pool our resources and…how we gone do that?  We’s impatient we’s done been run out of patience dealing with them and done accepted they pacifier in our mouths like little bitty babies , keeping us quiet and satiated.

That done worked for some more than others; some of us got the chance to take care of business for our selves, but what about the rest of us? We cain’t be quiet, we goes to jail cause we impatient, we gets in fights cause us is impatient, We got to do something about this way we are. We got to get to a place where we satisfied with ourselves, we got to, it’s up to us and we can do it with the help and strength god put in us.  

Ain’t no catching up, we got to start from scratch, from where we are right now, ain’t no going back either, we done gained a lot more know how that we used to have. We can come up with a way(s) to help ourselves up out this mess.

We ain’t afraid is we? We say we ain’t all the time, we always say we ain’t scared of nothing, but it aint true we scared as hell. We don’t know what to expect if we was to get ourselves together. 

Ain’t nothing to be scared of no more. We done been through the fire. We scared we gone lose what little we got, that’s it, we scared we gone mess up something and we gone end up with nothing. We ought not worry about that, we know better than that, we already done lost a lot of time and you know ain’t no getting that back. We should be thinking about what us gone gain, not what us gone lose. What is us gone gain?
