In my conclusion of Women’s History month, I have to ask the question; are there any women of character, courage and commitment left? Why are these young girls looking to mentors they cannot physically touch to demonstrate character? And these are not positive mentors so to speak.

Instead of looking to women in their families and communities as exemplary role models, these young ladies are NOT looking past what they see on TV. When they need real positive, God fearing women who can realistically impact their lives.

Ladies, can you reflect on your own life – are you living a life that you would be proud to share?

Join me tonight at 8:00 P.M. on Conversations of A Sistah via Conversations Live as I talk about recognizing the character, commitment and courage of the woman in the mirror or the women in your life.

Can’t wait to see you on the air!

As I continue in the celebration of Women’s History month, I’m reminded of those poetic artist who spoke their true to life pains and sorrows through the spoken word of poetry. Why? Because life almost always imitate art. As a poet we write what we feel, we write our experiences be it good or bad; happy or sad.

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I reflect on the life of the most intellectual poet of all, Dr. Maya Angelou. Angelou who used her own experiences throughout life to show how she coped with being a black woman in a predominantly white society, while overcoming adversity despite the harsh odds.

It’s Women’s History month and we’re celebrating woman who were taught to have a strong family structure, a love of people, a zest for life, strong work ethics and a thrive to succeed.

Born the eldest of two daughters, she was born and reared into a family destined to succeed. Her developing years as a youngster revolved around her family’s restaurant business. With strong values and solid principles, her mother was the strength and the force that helped her father build a family friendly establishment to this day.

Due to her religious upbringing and her parents strong faith, she and her sister were taught to “Be the best you can be every day and to do the right thing; then you will do good in life and you will find good”.

A Modern Day Lynching… Tonight on Conversations Of A Sistah

By popular demand, I will resume last week’s subject this week…”A modern day Lynching” on “Conversations Of A Sistah” tonight. 

Lynching is murder by mob, often by hanging, but also by a burning at the stake or shooting, in order to punish an alleged transgressor, or to intimidate, control, or otherwise manipulate a specific sector of a population.

Racism in America has set the scene for many injustices since the founding fathers birthed the notion of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The killing of young black men in our society seem to be a modern day lynching however, racism has taken a seat to a more pressing problem in America: a broken justice system.

Some people might have expected to see an increase in the overt lynching and murder of Black men by white extremists under the Obama administration due to the backlash of white right-wing conservative resentment.

In the recent events taken place in Florida, the stand your ground laws ought to be called a Right to Kill for White People laws because that is precisely what they are. Self-defense means nothing when a black person asserts that right. How do black people defend themselves when the justice system is arrayed against them?

Michael Dunn, the Georgia man who shot and killed 17-year-old Jordan Davis after an argument over loud music in Jacksonville, was found guilty on 3 counts of 2nd-degree murder and 1 count of throwing a deadly missile.

But the Florida jury deadlocked on the 1st degree murder count – even after the judge ordered them to deliberate further, declared a mistrial on the 1st degree murder count.

Join me tonight at 8:00 P.M. on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I address many of such injustices as being Modern Day lynchings.
