I am organizing and disciplining myself, my life, my lifeworks and time so that I may join this and as many of the causes/organizations/collectives/coalitions/alliances will have me!

If a space to write for The Siafu's Drum is EVER open -- feel beyond free to come to me. I am going to read through The Talking Drum/TD Collective sites as well as I want to join it as well.

I do all I do for my people. For Afrikan love, light and life! Nothing more, nothing less.

Ashe!
