Free Mumia Abu-Jamal!!! Thursday, Feb 9 2012 

Uncategorized sistahkenya 2:35 pm

**My Disclaimer: I believe it is not the will of God that a man is to be held captive as long as Mumia Abu-Jamal has without just cause or substantiated evidence. I also Believe that Mumia still lives for a reason: A time and season for such a time as this!! It is time for the Nation of Healers to Rise Up! Free Mumia!!**

Mumia Abu-Jamal is a renowned journalist, author, activist, husband, father and grandfather from Philadelphia who has been in prison since 1981 for allegedly shooting Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. Despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence, prosecutorial misconduct, constitutional violations in his trial, police coercion of witnesses and documented racism, he remained on death row in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. He is known as the “Voice of the Voiceless” for his award- winning reporting on police brutality and other social and racial epidemics that plague communities of color in Philadelphia and throughout the world. Mumia has received international support over the years in his efforts to overturn his unjust conviction and continues to fight!!

I first learned of Mumia Abu-Jamal two months ago. His face had always been familiar to me ironically, but I did not know his story! To hear of this man’s struggle for freedom moved me as I drove the streets of Atlanta listening to WRFG 89.3. The voice of Dr. Cornell West rang as he spoke on the importance of supporting the Freedom of this man!! Desmund Tutu has also called for the release of Mumia.

It surprises me that Mumia has been locked up for 30 years on death row and the USA Government have not killed him. Whether or not it is the federal or state prisons that have not gone through with his death penalty is beyond me. I mean it just baffles me the POWER of this man, his connections, and intelligence. Mumia still claims his innocence and no true evidence has been found to pinpoint him to this heinous crime, yet he remains detained. He is no longer on death row as of December 2011, which means he is now in general population after being in solitude for 30 years.

I truly believe that God is on this mans side! Many have died on death row with less chances then he (Troy Davis), yet Mumia remains. I believe the movement which thrives on the very essence of Mumia’s freedom is one that is pivotal to the African American People and our RISE in the Amercian Culture. It’s high time for the silence to end and the PEOPLE of the nation to rise up.A time comes when silence is betrayal. ~Dr. Martin Luther King~

As we have been told if we continue to be silent we betray ourselves and our communities. We must live for the people! One Voice, One Body, One Power. I am looking forward to the nation’s response to issues such as this one that will dictate the future of our children’s legislation and democracy. I support the FIGHT for Mumia Abu-Jamal’s Freedom and I believe in My People that WE can make a difference.

You can support Mumia by liking his official FB page follow him on Twitter and visit his website Also if you would like to write Mumia you can do so at: Mumia Abu-Jamal #AM 8335 SCI Mahanoy 301 Morea Road Frackville, PA 17932

Thank You for taking the time to be informed! Now DO something!!Free Mumia!!!

“When you don’t oppose a system, your silence becomes approval.” -Mumia Abu-Jamal

 

Troy Davis:Executed without Evidence Thursday, Sep 22 2011 

Uncategorized sistahkenya 1:56 pm

ISAIAH 33:22 For the LORD is our judge,the LORD is our lawgiver,
the LORD is our king; it is he who will save us.

Dear brothers and sisters: It saddens me to write about this particular execution. There are many that have happened in the USA before this one and unfortunately if nothing is done more to follow. First, let me say that I am against the DEATH PENALTY!! Always have been and always will be! I believe it is not right for one to take the life of another to punish them for crimes committed against humanity unless God forbid an extreme measure is presented. I believe the party at hand should be imprisoned for life.

Because I am a devout spiritual being, I know that even God allows the unjust another chance. Troy Davis was convicted of shooting a cop in Savannah, GA back in 1989. Officer Mark MacPhail was working as a security guard at a Burger King restaurant when he intervened to defend a man being assaulted in a nearby parking lot… I won’t go into much more detail of this story please research it for yourself when you get time to. I have listed on source site below:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Davis_case .

Up until the time of his death Troy Davis declared his innocence and his last words to Officer MacPhail’s family was:”I did not personally kill your son, father and brother. I am innocent,” and to those who executed him he said:“May God have mercy on your souls. May God bless your souls.” I must say that today I am saddened because I think back to the Casey  Anthony case where minimal time served was sufficient. This man served 20+ years and with no evidence really at hand, along with many recanted statements. Witnesses now say they were coerced by the police to accuse Mr. Davis.

How is it, that he still gets the death penalty? I believe the system should have deliberated longer and used modern technology to look for evidence. Sadly Troy’s life has ended and many mourn, not just for Troy but for a Justice system that seems to be so UNJUST. Fortunatley God has the last say so and even though I disagree with how things ended, God knew this day would come and how it would end.

I pray for those family members of Officer MacPhail’s family as well as Troy Davis family. It is time for US Citizens to rise up and speak against all the heinous situations in the justice system. Many are executed all the time unjustly without enough evidence. Then there are those who are guilty and should be punished, but to death? I beg to differ..

As America believes in serving penalty to those who committ crimes, I believe the People of the USA should do everything in our power to insure the fairness of our system. Time for us to take action and rise up against the UNJUST that lies within our JUSTICE system. Truly yesterday September 21, 2011 is one that me and my family will never forget. Time to take action!! RIP Troy Davis.. May God Bless us all & have mercy on America….Psalm 27:4-5 One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.

Psalm 9:9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Psalms 22:24 For he has not despised or disdainedthe suffering of the afflicted one;he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help…

 

Unhealthy Emotional Soul Ties- BREAK FREE! Saturday, Sep 10 2011

Unhealthy Emotional Soul-Ties

There are times in our lives when we allow ourselves to intertwine

With souls that are far from divine, but in the midst of life

We don’t realize that this tie is an entrapment until it is revealed

Even though you have lived this way for so long

Accepting this tie as REAL love; truly that is not what it is

It is an evil force that has come to suck you dry and keep you bound

What does a healthy emotional soul tie look like?

It fills you up and adds to you

It Loves as God loves unconditionally and prevails thru all things

It never fails..

Unhealthy emotional soul ties destroy your very being

It disguises itself as REAL LOVE so that you accept it

It longs for you to harbor it and feed it so that it may grow

Only to leave you empty handed and feeling void,

Longing for it more and more

It will never satisfy you, no matter how long you hold on

It has come to kill your dreams of TRUE LOVE and make u feel inadequate

Because you have endured this pain so long it becomes a norm

You accept it and deny yourself the TRUTH

This Unhealthy Emotional Soul tie must be CUT

In order for you to prosper and elevate in TRUTH

So you ask, what should I do?

Let go and Let God!!

Be honest and let the revelation of this truth marinate within you

Surrender to the only power that can bring you thru

Allow YHWH (God) to guide you on this journey

Truth will set you FREE and RELEASE this tie that has had u bound!

It’s never too late to LIVE! The journey begins now…

Unhealthy emotional soul ties no longer…

Knowledge is Power… GET FREE!!!!

 

New Day, New Grace, New Mercies Wednesday, Aug 3 2011 

Uncategorized sistahkenya 12:32 pm

Living in the USA has become a thought of the past. Many dream to get to the land of the Brave the home of the free, But me I am inspired to live beyond those dreams and fantasies. I live in this country yet I know the truths of poverty and ill stricken areas. No it’s not like a third world country, but must we go forgotten and unspoken of?

The media of today portrays the USA as a well put together place when actuality it is far from that. Yet many struggle to get an education and vocation which will better their trade. Others struggle to make ends meet. No diploma or degrees to show just life experiences in survival of the fittest. I believe each day of life given is an opportunity for new graces and new mercies from on high. Yet we exist only because of a higher power.

Yes I believe in the Creator! I believe that there is one who is beyond reproach. One who fashioned this very world we now live in. One who holds the world in palm. The universe is not so vast that God does not know its interiors. Yet we live in a world that has many opportunties with few limitations. So I dare not to dwell in the statues of limits, but reaching beyond those things, I began to achieve my goals making my own path.

For I truly believe it were not for my creator the days would cease to come for me and life would be without abundant living. Today is a new day and I have chosen to write about it. What will you do with your day and opportunity given? This is just a thought. The USA is where I was given to live so therefore the foundation for my destiny lies within this land. So I shall go forth and seek out my destiny for truly it sees me.

The day has come and yet the journey continues… New Day, New Grace, New Mercies!!

One demon Won’t Stop No Show Tuesday, Jul 19 2011 

Spirituality sistahkenya 12:06 am

I know y’all travel in packs and start with one soul

Trying to devour it and take control

Well lemme just tell u One demon aint gon stop no show

Yeah y’all got trickery and deceit

All ready to go

Well I got my Father, his Son and the Holy Ghost

Y’all been shaken up things and giving me a run for my soul

But still I’m saying, one demon don’t stop no show

I know  there are legions of y’all and you come in droves

But all I need is ONE savior and he makes me pure as Gold

Giving me strength, power, insight, wisdom & discernment

Power to speak life over myself and others

Declaring and decreeing that you be cast into the fire, no longer for hire

Telling yo high priest he must flee

That’s right the word say so When I resist you

You must go!! No questions asked

But I know u will return with more than you came with

And I’ll be saying again, one demon won’t stop no show

For all of you are as one to my God for you have no power

Other than what you are allowed

And I know you coming for me because I’ve been endowed

My power is not of my own, but in YHWH I stand strong

So hear my voice and tell yo folk that this one right chea

Ain’t no joke!! I might bend but I won’t break, I might fall but I’m getting back up

Because the God I serve has already declared me CHAMPION

And as fo you and yours the war has begun

I’m still trekking on though, sorry you thought I was done!

Soldier is in my blood, thought you knew that when my

Christ gave his life to declare his love

Not only for me but unto YHWH

His quest was fulfilled, so you see no matter what u do

You can’t have me.. the missions I was ordained to fulfill I shall

For I have the protection of Most High and when YHWH say it’s done it’s done..

Told ya one demon won’t stop no show…

 

*Dedicated to hasatan and all the demons that serve’em*

~Those who have ears I pray that you will hear and be empowered by this piece knowing that satan has no authority in your life but you have control when you humbly submit your will unto God.. Shalom~

 

My thoughts on Lil Wayne’s new Single “How To Love”…. Tuesday, Jul 12 2011 

Entertainment sistahkenya 11:08 pm

 First upon hearing this single I was intrigued by the beat and melodious melody and raspy vocals of the artist Lil Wayne! I was waiting for some vulgar degrading lyrics but instead I was intrigued by the deep meaning beyond what was being vocalized. This song is intriguing in so many ways. For me it exemplifies the raw talent that lies within the artist and how he is capable of digging deeper than what has been recently displayed in records regarding women. Lately I have been inspired to pay special attention to this artist for I believe that a different connotation will soon come from him and it will affect his audeience tremendously.

 

In a recent interview with Rolling Out Lil Wayne speaks on the inspiration for his single “How to Love”… “That song is just sweeping the world. It’s touching every woman, that’s what it was for,” he said. “It was like Tupac had ‘Keep Ya Head Up’ and it was a message to women and little girls across the world just to keep your head up even though things are hard. That’s what my song was. A lot of women don’t know how to love because there’s deep reasons for them not knowing how to love,” Lil Wayne explained. “And what I mean by deep reasons is deep and dark reasons. A lot of people don’t open up that can, and I figured that I can open up that can of worms and see what happens.”

 –Nicholas Robinson

 

It speaks to me (SistahKenya) because I know the struggle of this woman on the road to learning How To Love. Although it seems that Lil Wayne is still targeting a sterotypical woman (a stripper) I do believe some women will be able to relate to this song if they are honest with themselves. The Carter IV is set to come out in August 2011 and many are anxious to hear what Lil Wayne will bring to the industry next. At the tender age of 28 Dewayne Michael Carter seems to be in his prime, but much talk of him retiring has been the hot topic. 

 

In the July/Aug issue of XXL Lil Wayne speaks of retiring soon to raise his children attentively. He qoutes “Honestly, this is the truth. I think it’s unfair to my kids. I am super dedicated into what I do. Like, it’s no questions hands down, I do this, I live this. I don’t have a day out of my week that I do something else…..” “Like I said it’s unfair to my kids so about 30,31,32 I gotta get ready. I got three boys and one daughter. She’s gonna be a teenager and they gonna be growing up. They gonna be five or six. It’s time to get them…. I’m not trying to have no nanny do that or no uncle or no shit like that. No stepdad or no shit like that . I was raised like don’t let no other man take care of yours. Even if you gotta take the sacrifice of quitting what you love the most. Like I said I’m finished about 31, 32 that’s it, shawty.”

 

I admire Lil Wayne’s focus on raising his children. I believe it’s important for all children to bond with their father. Anyways I thought I would share with you, my peeps, the latest intriguing thoughts of Sistah Kenya on this hip-hop mogul who was born and raised in my hometown New Orleans, LA. One day me and Lil Wayne will sit and chat about deeper things. That will be the day! One I look forward to.. Check out the lyrics to “How To Love” below and leave ya coments.. Holla back… Peace… JAH BLESS

 

Intro – Lil Wayne]

Cut the music up

A lil’ louder

Yeah

[Chorus - Lil Wayne]

You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart

Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out

How to love, how to love

You had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever

Now you in the corner tryna put it together

How to love, how to love

[Hook - Lil Wayne]

For a second you were here, now you over there

It’s hard not to stare, the way you moving your body

Like you never had a love, never had love

[Verse 1 - Lil Wayne]

When you was just a young’un, your looks were so precious

But now your grown up, so fly it’s like a blessing

But you can’t have a man look at you for 5 seconds

Without you being insecure

You never credit yourself so when you got older

It’s seems like you came back 10 times over

Now you’re sitting here in this damn corner

Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder

[Chorus - Lil Wayne]

See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart

Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out

How to love, how to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever

Now you in this corner tryna put it together

How to love, how to love

[Hook - Lil Wayne]

For a second you were here, now you over there

It’s hard not to stare, the way you moving your body

Like you never had a love, had a love

[Verse 2 - Lil Wayne]

Ooohh, you had a lot of dreams that transform to visions

The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions

But it wasn’t your fault, wasn’t in your intentions

To be the one here talking to me, be the one listening

But I admire your poppin’ bottles and dippin’

Just as much as you admire bartending and strippin’

Baby, so don’t be mad, nobody else trippin’

You see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crook

[Chorus - Lil Wayne]

You see you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart

Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out

How to love, how to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever

Now you in this corner tryna put it together

How to love, how to love

[Verse 3 - Lil Wayne]

Ooohh, see I just want you to know

That you deserve the best

You’re beautiful

You’re beautiful

Yeahh

And I want you to know

You’re far from the usual

Far from the usual

[Chorus - Lil Wayne]

You see you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart

Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out

How to love, how to love

See you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever

Now you in this corner tryna put it together

How to love, how to love

See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart

Never really had luck, couldn’t never figure out

How to love, how to love

Yeahh, see you had a lot of moments that didn’t last forever

Now you in this corner tryna put it together

How to love, how to love

 

The Casey Anthony Case Friday, Jul 8 2011 

Entertainment sistahkenya 9:57 pm

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matt 7:2

 

My disclaimer on this case: How long will we as people allow the MEDIA to dictate to us how we should think, live, eat dress, etc? Although this case is one that hits home in the hearts of many parents and Christians I would like to make a bold statement. There will come a time when those in high places whether it be government or media will say things that is not TRUE!! They have already done it. For those who have a RELATIONSHIP with YHWH I beg you to ask God for wisdom and discernment regarding issues such as this and learn to look at things of this nature thru the eyes of GOD and not the emotions of man.

We are flesh and we make mistakes. No One is perfect! New graces and mercies is gven to us all daily. Although this Mother took 31 days to report her child missing I do realize there are more underlying issues within her mind. (Sexual Abuse) Being one who was molested as a young girl from ages 5-12 I know what that is like. But no one knows but me and others who have experienced it what it is like to live with that travesty. It changes you! Sexually, mentally, emotionally, and especially toward children; For the better or worse. I am saying all this to say we were not there, and we were not given alll of the evidence the jury was given.

For whatever reason YHWH has allowed this woman to have a chance at life beyond this incident. Unfortunately a child has passed but God knew her fate before she entered into this world. I believe sometimes some only come to help those who are already here. I know many of you won’t understand my thoughts within this note and that is okay. Yet I will write cause GOD has placed it upon my heart. If no one else will pray for CASEY I will. Even the theif on the cross with Jesus was given a chance in the 9th hour… If this should become anotha unsung song within the justice system; I can rest well knowing YHWH has the last say so. Vengence is the Lord’s and who are we to judge? I know CASEY maybe guilty but who am I to convict her when GOD has granted her a pardon..We reap what we sow and do know if there is injustice within the system there will be none with GOD!

Even if my plea seems bias with my own history (pics=life experiences) I ask YHWH to remove my emotions and flesh and allow me to see things thru the eyes of the spirit. In this there is compassion, love, justice, and truth. I am thankful that my fate does not lye in the hands of man nor does Casey’s. Even if this verdict is deserving of her only GOD could allow it to come forth. MAN does not know our destiny but YHWH does and allows us to make choices along the way. This case was not just for CASEY but if your heart was touched it was for you too. Please ask God what you are to gain from this on a spiritual level and look beyond the media and your own opinion of this woman, but allow God to show you truly what you are to take from this and be open and prepared for what GOD will show you. Believe me you will be surprised what you will be shown..Fast and pray try GOD at his word in Jeremiah 33:3 he says; ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’

 

As I close I just want to say please DON’T SLEEP! as my one of my favorite artise E.Badu sings “STAY WOKE” don’t allow the tricks & illusions of this world to allow you to condemn people. I am not saying CASEY is not GUILTY because I don’t know but what I do know is that my ABBA knows and the righteous is never forsaken.. So in the end that little baby girl that is no longer with us SHALL WIN! How? Cause she is with the greatest winner of all time  YHWH. May the grace of God keep you and the Spirit of GOD be with you as you continue your journey in this earth called life.

Proverbs  3:5-7  Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding,  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.

 

Jude 1:24-25

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever.

Amen.

Sincerely,  Sistah Kenya

 

To Be A Tree Thursday, Jun 23 2011 

Poetry-psalms and Spirituality sistahkenya 10:07 pm

I often times wonder what it is like to be a tree
To sprout from a seed and bask within the sunlight
To suck in the nutrients of nearby lakes and streams

Spreading my roots to solid ground digging deep
Deep beyond where the eye can see
Hugging the rocks within my path

Stretching my branches so that every limb is free
So free that every leaf can blow in the wind
No matter what comes my way

I bend but don’t break because like
A tree planted by waters I shall not move
My leaves turn colors and shed with the season

I learn to bear much fruit
Yet the life of a tree is lonely
One in a million within a forest

To be sought after and taken for granted
The very oxygen that I generate has now been sifted
No longer am I sight for beauty

Just a stump to be had yet I reach deep within
And dig down, only to come up again
Sprouting more trunk, new branches and leaves

Why? Because I am a tree and no matter what
That is my mission and purpose for being
The life journey continues not death

But life eternally for the giver of life
Continues to give unto me freely
To be a tree

 

What is this? Thursday, Apr 28 2011 

Poetry-psalms and Spirituality sistahkenya 1:43 pm

What is this feeling I feel inside
One where I long to be elevated beyond measure
What is this sound I hear within my mind
Long before the call of life

I realized that you was me and I was in you
My very being exist within you and
Without you I am nothing

What is this that pulls me closer to you
A yearning to be complete, to fill the voids
So it exist no more

Some say you don’t truly live until
You live thru the eyes of your Spirit
For the body is only a capsule that holds the soul

What is this that I speak of
Life thru the Spirit, yes tis true
The real way of living

Only to see things for how they really are
No more perspectives driven upon me by my mind
No I wish to live FREE in THEE

What is this? Spirit Living and mind living conquered
Only to learn that cloud nine is attainable every day
What it is only my life can display

Me living in the True Me in this world
Finally free, nothing to hold me back
PEACE, LOVE, & TRANQUILITY

Signed: abstract writing…Me

 

Me Defining a Bastard Child Thursday, Apr 28 2011 

Poetry-psalms sistahkenya 1:40 pm

Some say a Bastard child would be one

Who was conceived out of wedlock

Others say it is one who came thru a tragedy

I.E. a rape or incestuous act

Well I have pondered on this thang

And I think I have another theory

Although an orphan is defined as one who Is not wanted by his mother or father

I deem this thought more defining for a bastard child

There are more theories that are suitable like the one who is

Raised by one parent only to have the other involved

Whenever the parent chooses, leaving the child to be

Raised inadequately and unbalanced

This is only my personal perspective and theory

Not to be tested or written in stone

Just a thought to ponder when one has reached

An area of confusion where bastard children are concerned

So are you a bastard child and have you made one?

I know it sounds harsh but don’t be dismayed

For there are many that come thru these avenues and

Yet they are successful beings, living life to fullest

Capacity, therefore being a bastard child is not all bad

Signed: Learning to live as me, Just as I am
