This past weekend was amazing. First I enjoyed a magnificent concert Friday night at the Moore Theatre with Soweto Gospel Choir. I’ve heard their previous albums and knew it was a must to hear them live and what a true blessing. I cried, I clapped, I sang, I listened, and my entire body was shaking with the positive vibration by way of South Africa released into the atmosphere. The drummers, the solos, eye contact, and the tribute they did to African Americans had me lit 🔥.

Next my family and I headed to matinee Sunday to see WAKANDA…..oh my my my…..again blown away with the beautiful explosion of culture, color, vibrations, and the great story line. The film was full of powerful messages. One is that we must be willing to sacrifice all to uplift and empower the next generation by all means. Create space for them to shine and watch them thrive. 🙏❤️

Black is beautiful indeed and my heart just overflowed with all the love and celebration of all that my people encompass 🙏

Save the girls not just physically but mentally from tyranny

Father in Heaven …may you surrounds those young girl’s with fire from heaven…and let not one hair upon theirs heads be touched. May they be at peace and safely brought home to their families and may they be advocates and voices in this dark world that has exploited your daughters for hundreds of years…Lord bring forth a change. Hear the cries of these your children…hear the cry of these mother’s of Nigeria and other Mother’s in this world crying out for their children who have been sold into human trafficking or sex slaves…Lord stop these abuses and raise up Godly men to pray and rebuke these wicked practices that feed the most perverse appetites. Set the captives free in Jesus name.
