RevSisRaedorah

Christian:  I believe in God Almighty the Creator of Heaven and Earth; Jesus Christ the Lord, Liberator and Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit who baptizes, fills, dwells and empowers.

Womanist:  I am that "womanish" black gal from the 'hood all grown up... audacious... outrageous... gracious... courageous... tenacious...

Preacher:  I preach Jesus. 

Poet:  When my life is not prosaic, full of punctuations which get in the way of where I am going, I write and recite poetry.

Writer:  I write now for the days yet ahead when my voice grows frail that my wisdom would prevail.

Mother:  Shout-out to my shortie, JaHaRi, and to all of the girl-women who call me "Mama."

"I like my baggage.  It is colorfully adorned with decals oft mistaken to be scars.  A travelogue of where I've been while attesting to the reality that as long as I live I'll be going somewhere!"

"I am ever mindful of the fact that the groups I belong to -- African American people, women people -- are still in the process of pulling the gags out of our mouths; that in speaking freely and publicly, in expressing our thoughts and feelings, we do so as much for our ancestors and foremothers as we do for ourselves." 
Marcia Ann Gillespie, editor

"I do not feel inhibited or bound by what I am. That does not mean that I have never had bad scenes relating to being Black and/or a woman, it means that other people's craziness had not managed to make me crazy."
Lucille Clifton, writer
