WEstcoasT Artist Bambu!

This song is dedicated to men
who call women Queens when
it is convenient and treat them like
a Bit*h when they are with their
homies in the streets.
"Queen" is becoming a watered
down concept. Mean what you say
and say what you mean.
Respect. The women in this video
are role models in the Los Angeles
community. So honored they chose
me to be part of it. Enjoy! :)

    yay! luv the cameo :) OMG! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!! this is something i have been saying for years. being a child of the hip hop era, i was a witness/recipient of this hypocrisy. so-called conscious men talking out the side of their mouths and abusing that word queen. and now being a part of the queer community i see the same thing unfortunately. so-called conscious women proclaiming that they adore their sista queens and then doing them dirty. my favorite line of Bambu's song is "new patriarchy in a conscious song" so true.

Dia de Los Muertos

D ia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a  colorful festival celebrating the living. In the United States and in Mexico's larger cities, families build altars in their homes, dedicating them to the dead. They surround these altars with flowers, food and pictures of the deceased. They light candles and place them next to the altar. The Aztecs and other Meso -American civilizations kept skulls as trophies and displayed them during the ritual. The skulls were used to symbolize death and rebirth. The Aztecs and other Meso -American civilizations believed that the dead came back to visit during the month long ritual. The natives viewed it as the continuation of life. Instead of fearing death, they embraced it. To them, life was a dream and only in death did they become truly awake. The ritual has evolved to include other cultures like Native Americans and African Americans doing their own dances. This was my third year celebrating this event. Each year Hollywood Forever Cemetery comes ...

Spring Vigilance

Greetings loved ones, This picture reminds me of how connected we are with nature. The tree an extension of myself,  helping me stay balanced and grounded.  I'd like to share what I've been practicing in order to transform into my better self. Perhaps you will find something helpful that will further your inner journey as well.  Practice compassion for those who have separated themselves consciously. Start by forgiving yourself for not being perfect. Love individuals that are difficult to love. Not just particular people, do it without circumstance or demand. Remain vigilant and conscious. Stay present. Be impervious to negativity. Take accountability. Do your inner work. When you know yourself, you trust yourself. The more trust the more self love and self acceptance. Stay connected with nature. I enjoy going to the beach or sitting under a blanket of trees in my garden. Listen to the rhythm of nature. Nature moves with purpose. A vision pulls you forward. Don't...
