marjane satrapi's
persepolis is a gorgeous
film. so beautiful!
the animation
is complex in its layers,
colour scheme and script.
feminine strength told
through many generations:
mother, grandmother.
iran's story told
from a young girl's point of view.
children tell the truth.

dr. king's feast day
fell upon me like the rain
i walked out back pain.
i walked determined
to bless out the demons of
doubt and fear and won.
breakfast to feed my
tummy and book store to buy
junot's novel. i am
in this book! latin,
nerdy, bridging the divide...
street academic...
diaz speaks some of me
and it touches me, this street
novel with plantains.
in the evening a
health conductor meeting to
meet and organize
my trio to be
are men dedicated to
harriet tubman.
she delivered slaves
to freedom. first herself then
others. underground.
i join this journey
to save myself. then others.
on to a whole world.
