Growth of CWUW

I was sick.

I had a grant due for work.

I had a training going on at work.

I had initially 10 women wanting to join CWUW.

WOW.

I did it. I can say that I maybe slacking too much on the day gig but I got it all done. My body was tired but my mind kept pushing.

I now have a good staff of volunteers to move this machine forward in 2009. All are excited for the possibility of greatest. Just the POSSIBILITY of something great can move mountains. I continue to stand before the mountain in all humility but knowing that it is in my power for it to be moved.

CWUW is coming together piece by piece. Its being strengthen by passion.

I'm pleased but I know the road is still long. We still have so much to do. Its so interesting tha t women felt I had everything so organized. They were impressed with CWUW. I'm thinking, huh? We have so many missing pieces but I know as a leader, you tend to see the entire picture.

I'm thankful to God, Yeshua for his continued guidance. We serve him and his people.

CWUW in 2009....a mighty force.

It is not that I was born this way-rather, I was born into this male-dominated society, and consequently, from the very moment I began forming thoughts, they formed in a decidedly male-centered way. My "education" at home with my mother, at school, on my neighborhood playgrounds, and at church, all placed males in the middle of the universe. My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

For Colored Girls: Seeing Red

After being very vocal about being Tyler Perry a less than favorite choice to direct an adaption of Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf" or better known now as "For Colored Girls", I watched the movie feeling empty. I've seen myself in the colors of orange and green . I've empathized with the browns in my life. I know yellow and I know blue. Then there is RED . I could spend time examining the issues I had with the movie. I could also celebrate the power of dynamic words used to express OUR stories of various hues, depths, and struggles. The color red, Janet Jackson's character, disturbed me. This development of this character reeks of Perry's own personal agenda. He wanted to talk about the down low situation. He wanted to bring in HIV and so he did.  In spite of Janet's less than wonderful acting abilities, I was interested in how her story would play itself out. I heard about her. Th...
