Today is International Womens Day – please join our teach in by clicking here and checking out this very informative post all about International Womens Day and Womens’ Roles Today.
tonight we received this mail from one of the web based public media charities we support. please take a moment and look at the links. there is much to be done, and we can all empower ourselves to be a force of humanity. each one of us has the power to help and to give with gratitude in our hearts.
With 80 percent of Haitians living in abject poverty, many children are forced to work against their will in homes, fields, gangs and as prostitutes. As many as 200,000 are the victims of human trafficking.
These children are driven into trafficking for economic reasons. Reducing poverty, therefore, would help stop this slave trade in children.
It’s simple really: through microfinance, small loans enable hard-working women to open small businesses that let them feed and shelter their families. Just a few dollars a day in added income can mean children do not have to be forced into work. Instead, they can go to school and be healthy.
Today We Join Our Blogs with many others for International Human Rights Day. Take a Moment and Consider what Your Freedom means and what you will do to Keep It.
This is Fela Kuti; sitting on a sofa in a dressing room; with moi in 1996, Post Concert
we were just chillaxin and not even concerning ourselves with the fact that he was literally dying as we sat there. you see he had just been diagnosed with AIDS. he was on his final tour of his career and this was one of his final stops.
I made my way there to spend a little more time with my friend. I didn’t know that he was sick, as you can see I look happy, and he looks a little tired. he had just performed for one and a half hours to a packed club. the show was a sell-out and he was in great form.
someone said to me after he died that maybe he looked somewhat happy to see me, because he knew he’d never see me again. I laughed them off and said, well why did he come here to perform then, if not to see me. that was the end of the convo, because that was a fact.
This video is Femi Kuti; His Father was Fela Kuti shown above.
You See We Yorubas’ believe that you send the soul away dancing and remembering the good; because the bad no longer matters. it is important to remember that his spirit is still with us, because we believe that he will remain with us for at least twenty one days. during that time he will complete spiritual connections, and begin his work as an ancestor; helping those of us who remain in his love.
His Father Fela Died of AIDS in 1997 – this is his statement to the world
“It’s Serious“. yes brothaman it is, quite serious. it cost us many many lives, and still we are not sure what it really is. how terrible is that ?
This is Fela Kuti’s Funeral – it was massive; largest in Nigerian history
There is clearly a message here people. AIDS is not a Gay Disease, it’s a KILLER who cares not for your sex, or sexual preference. only the fact that you are not careful and didn’t think before you “Phucked Up”.
Live Goes On, so we should all remember that Protection and Awareness are the two largest keys to remaining HIV Free. there is never a time that you can take a chance, regardless of who it is or what is happening.
This is your life and you can end it that quickly,
Be Safe and Remember that We All Know Someone – so we don’t need to be the next one. Protect Yourself; and Your Lover.
