Mi Gente,
I love Netroots Nation.
When I was asked to be a part of a panel at Netroots Nation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2009, I had no idea my life would be changed (again). We were talking Hip Hop and Politics with Rev. Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus, Davey D of Hard Knock Radio, Paradise Gray of X-Clan, Jasiri X of Real Talk XPress and, yours truly, Dr. Goddess of the Revelations Blog and Dr. Goddess Arts, Education and Management Co. (academics always pick long titles, forgive us!). Our panel was phenomenal, as was the entire conference of progressive folks who work online and offline to improve the human race.

The Immaculate Reception
I’m inconsistent with my workouts; and I’m a late night eater. If I can conquer these two issues, I will rule the world my backyard.
I’m trying to start a running program; but when I was ready to start, we had a snowstorm and, well, I was more dedicated to the warmth in my blankets than the treadmill.
But, but, BUT! I did start my first workout the next week. And I thought I was going to die. Wait, no I didn’t. I actually felt fine. I worked out hard, I sweated, we lifted weights, did squats with jumps and alot of whole body exercising (which is what I prefer).
But the next day? THE NEXT DAY??!!! LAWD!!!! HEP MEH! HEP MEH!
My legs felt like bricks. Brick ovens, to be precise. My arms were tight. My abs were yelping for help and I was moving like I should be living in a nursing home. It...

For Colored Girls Poster Art
Folks,
This is my entree into Vlogging and the launch of a series I’m calling “The Life of the Mind with Dr. Goddess” (copyright 2011) . The phrase, “the life of the mind” is in reference to persons involved in academia and/or persons committed to a lifetime of intellectual engagement. I’ve broadened this, of course, to include anyone with a critical (and preferably, beautiful) mind.
The Backstory: I walked into a relative’s home, saw the poster, lost my mind and whipped out a camera. Any questions?
I’ll be posting a full blog on Tyler Perry’s 34th Street Film, “For Colored Girls” (based upon Ntozake Shange’s choreopoem, For Colored Girls Who’ve Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Was Enuff) but please let me know what you think...

If Revolution Were an After Thanksgiving Day Sale
a sign, flashing in fluorescent colors
would declare the revolution
“NOW OPEN”
for all the sisters and brothers
And when the doors opened and the red ribbon was cut
we would rush to tear down the walls of the prison industrial complex
and a sign encouraging accountability, self actualization and healing
would declare each freed man and woman as being
“Under New Management!”
If Revolution Were an After Thanksgiving Day Sale
we would push and shove our way to the voting booths
and if the numbers didn’t add up, we would snatch up the red tape
tie it around the electoral college’s neck and relentlessly demand an accurate count
forcing our way to the truth, justice and righteousness of a fair price

I’m a fan of Ashley Judd and Marisa Tomei (who got her start as “Maggie” on “A Different World”), so naturally, at some point in 2001, I didn’t turn the channel when a movie entitled, “Someone Like You” aired, since they appeared on screen. Unless they’re of the Jerry McGuire or Bridget Jones variety, I try not to consume hoards of romantic comedies centered on white people. And you know why, including all the intelligent white folks reading… I’m trying to maintain a high level of self-esteem, a somewhat healthy body image and the hope that Mr. Right will show up with a Malcolm X fedora, a Morpheus trench and set of shades and wearing flip flops like “Black Jesus”. We shall see…
