So.....

Needless to say it's been awhile since I've updated you. I got a lot to tell you but this month is hardly about me. For those who've been living secluded in a fallout shelter, it's Women's "Herstory" Month (as the lovely Zera calls it!) This is the time of the year where every poetry event, and even some Hip-Hop events are geared towards honoring the women. Mainstream media doesn't do as good of a job; I guess they haven't found a means ofgenerating income from this one yet! But i digress.

I've decided that I'd like to do as many write ups (I hate the term blog)about women who have directed affected MY life; be it friends, family, etc.Why talk about all the known women who have already accomplished great things, when I can show the world the future, now!

I'm sure I've lost most of my regular site visitors due to my lack of updates, but for those who are still checking up, I'm back.

Stayed Tuned
