A taste of what healing looks like for me…her poetry is like a mothers warm hug, a kiss on ya forehead from ya grandmother after a long tired ass day, and the tragedies woven throughout the life a black woman lives. 🥹💖✌🏾

BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 8

Wednesday, February 14, 2024

“In religious terms, each time the oppressed chooses to forgive the oppressor, each time, on those rare occasions, they find themselves having a modicum of power over them and offering them mercy instead of vengeance, might be interpreted as an act of mercy in favor of the oppressor. Black history is replete with these instances.” – Farah Jasmine Griffin, Read Until You Understand: The Profound Wisdom of Black Life and Literature

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Check out the Yocum African American History Association (YAAHA), “a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to sharing educational resources about black American history”.

Black life is … // On the best, Blackest days, it’s like sleepwalking through a promised land of cocoa butter and honey to the tune of a vibrant, neo-soul beat. But like a nightmare, born of the deepest, darkest recesses of the mind—the place where buried, generational trauma dwells—it is also perilous and filled with horror. With bullets, brandings, and blood. //

📽#ArtIsAWeapon "The Woodstock of House" is the opening night film at @ny_adiff #NYADIFF2022, November 25, 2022. Go to www.nyadiff.org for tickets and info about this and other films being screened. If you've ever been (or wanted to go) to the annual @chosenfewdjs Festival in Chicago, this may be a movie you want to see. Also, "this film is for this moment in time where we need to see positive stories about #Blacklife, #Blackculture, #Blackmusic." - Rodrick Wimberly, Director and Executive Producer, "The Woodstock of House." • VIA www.NYADIFF.org #TheWoodstockOfHouse #ADIFF2022 OPENING NIGHT FILM FRIDAY, NOV. 25, 2022 7:30pm Red Carpet 8:00pm Doors Open - Screening followed by Q&A with director Rodrick F. Wimberly Venue: Cinépolis Chelsea 260 W 23rd Street, New York, New York� "The Woodstock of House details the triumph of a genre of music that was attacked and seemingly destroyed by mainstream America in the late 1970s for being too black, too Latin, and too gay. 'Woodstock' explores the music's mutation, development, and re-birth as #HouseMusic by disaffected African American teenagers on the South Side of Chicago in an underground culture of marginalized, largely gay nightclub constituents. This is the untold story of the role of Chicago's Chosen Few DJs in the creation and popularization of the third-largest musical genre in the world. The documentary celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the annual Chosen Few Music Festival. Deemed the "Woodstock of House," this festival brings 50,000 people of different races, ages, sexual orientations, and class together in an environment of unity, peace, and love without conflict in one of the most violent cities in America, serving as an oasis of love in a sea of conflict...

The City of Kassel

On page 388 of "The Anatomy of Difference," Schiebinger describes the German city of Kassel, known for having the highest number of Black people in all of Germany in the 18th century. While Schiebinger says that it's not entirely clear why Kassel was the city with the largest Black population at the time, she cites the "collection" of Black people as a potential reasoning, stating that they were collected as "exotica" in line with apes, camels, or elephants.

I wanted to understand what made Kassel such a popular city for Black populations during this time period (in contrast to other German cities), as well as how the treatment and/or perception of Black people in Germany today differs from then.

Kassel is known today for its multiculturalism and large migrant population, as well as the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite this positive perception, many Germans (particularly AfroGermans) take issue with Germany's treatment of minorities, particularly the lack of data provided on these groups. Germany primarily categorizes its citizens as natives to Germany or migrants, meaning that many minority groups are "lumped together" for the sake of "equality," despite this actually making it more difficult for these populations to address issues of racism or discrimination.

I am seeking tools to navigate through mental and emotional distress. I've been experiencing #anxiety, which I presume is #workrelated. If you can steer me towards someone that can help me cope with #workplace duress, It would be greatly appreciated. The way these headaches and chest pains keep progressing, I may be in need of an emergency session. Maybe I am struggling to understand how threats against my life were greeted with threats against my livelihood and chosen profession. Maybe my spirit is guiding me to advance in a new direction. Maybe I am missing the big picture within the scope of microaggressions. Could it be the dismay of the #humanpsyche that leads one down the corridors of #depression? Sometimes I wonder if my mind and heart are at war when I lack the wherewithal to see #thelesson. At times I wonder "Why is my beautiful brown skin more threatening than an individual wielding a weapon?" Who would of thought #violenceinthelibrary would become commonplace?! Or maybe it was foolish of me to think the #conductinlibrariespolicy was administered to provide a suitable environment for #library use. We live in world where boys behest ye to address them as girls when they put on a dress yet "My #BlackLife is not protected against #violenceintheworkplace?" Foolish of me to think constant chatter of #diversityequityinclusion would equate to the inclusion of #BlackLivesMatter, when it has been historically shown that I am expected to endure abuse. Why am I expected to accept all threats and abandon the laws of self-preservation? Why is the #libraryadministration not acquainted County laws, rules, and regulations? How many weapons must be drawn before you draw the line? How many boundaries must ye cross before see you are out of line? Have ye noticed how many patrons get suspended from the library while I'm out on personal time? If nothing else, I'd like to thank the ALA for taking the time to acknowledge the increasing acts of violence that have been taking place at libraries during this time. -Stevie #blackmentalhealthmatters ・・・ #vibewise: #tagablacktherapist 👇🏾 https://www.instagram.com/p/CgN6Db9AEAR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
