The mind of an Intricate Wordsmith
Racism and all, the United States has offered a blissful transformation to millions of people. Since Mohamed Ali, it hasn’t been common for mainstream athletes to take a controversial stand for civil rights. Collin Kaepernick’s movement is about whether or not to stand up during the national anthem of the Continue Reading
The current protests against police brutality are at a stalemate. It’s the notion of who the law commands to yield to whom. The police are a force. Unlike the military’s capacity to establish international raids, police assaults happen nationally. The authorities expect the members of the public to submit. Or else they will force you to comply with their command—the police answer to their chief, judge, mayor, or governor.
I have a lot to learn about the origin of this great civilization. Therefore I may not be the most prudent narrator of the account of an island in the Caribbean. I will approach this as a student of this culture. I am someone who marvels at the customs of Continue Reading
Kalu Abosi I went through a phase when I read almost everything I could get my hands on. During that time, I found a book by a Nigerian writer. He told a fascinating tale on the secret underworld of the West African occult. In his book, “Born Twice,” he claimed Continue Reading
William Shakespeare The first time I learned about Shakespeare, I was at Christ the King College in Bo, Sierra Leone. I had already sung and acted in a few church plays. Before that time, the only literature I had read was “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and the Bible. If Continue Reading
A wise woman once told me, “you’re who you say you are.” That was at a time when I had issues with my identity. Born in Sierra Leone but raised in Liberia until adolescence, and attended high school in Sierra Leone and The Gambia and post-secondary education in the United States. Continue Reading
For the most part, the United States, Great Britain, and France enslaved West Africans. Religious groups and abolitionists launched demonstrations charging that slavery was a crime against humanity. That tumultuous historical moment ended after the global effort for some Blacks to return to Africa. Despite that, many Whites still supported Continue Reading
Being an emcee, I’ve found compiling a short list of my top emcees challenging. This is because making a genuine, unbiased list without leaving out a veteran is almost impossible. The emcee is a wordsmith. He or she is a lyrical genius, a poet who spits a rhymed message. Unlike Continue Reading
Misconstruing the protest against murderous police officers is easy, as if the protesters do not feel indebted to the courage of the police. That misconception is too deceptive. Of course, we all want the police to feel safe as they solve crimes serving our community. It should be needless to Continue Reading
Now that’s epic! Juno is landing on | my favorite planet | Jupiter, on the 4th of July. Damn!!! Who goes there???
If you’re an eagle, you must fight to prevent anyone from plucking out your feathers. This is because you need them to fly. You can have wings, but you can fly if you don’t have feathers. I decided to do my own thing and not work for just anybody. I Continue Reading
Since the rise of the Internet and social media, many false prophets have proliferated their teachings. Like the rainbow now represents homosexuality. Or the Eye of Providence now represents the Illuminati. Nothing against homosexuality and the Illuminati, but the truth is they borrowed their symbolism from the Bible. The triangle Continue Reading
I remember chatting with a man at a train station who wanted Blacks to revolt against the West. I asked, what if we rebelled and won? What would we do with a destroyed continent? Right now, the economy is moving. Transportation is operating. Some rule of law protects human rights, Continue Reading
When it comes to music videos, at this point, I have my finger on the pulse of creativity. How Kanye West launched and promoted his “Life of Pablo” album is almost identical to how I did with my “Laboramus Exspectantes Vol. 1” album. And I must add that I dropped Continue Reading
In this volume, you will find entries of some of my preferred celebs, rides, West African cuisines, an introduction to Sierra Leone, and the process of releasing my first and second books with their accompanying albums. These entries personify the early stage of my music and writing career. Being new Continue Reading
