enamor (v): to be filled with a feeling of love for... past tense: enamored Updates: Every Monday (ok I lied 😂)

Inspired by a True Story. Some call it destiny. Some call it interference. Some call it love. Some loves arrive with light. Some awaken the dark to find you. He was the rhythm fate hid in silence. She was the dream prophecy refused to name. To answer the drum is to awaken love. To awaken love is to summon war. Somewhere between the hum of the city and the quiet spaces between breaths, a soft drumbeat pulsed. Not loud enough to command attention. Not sharp enough to startle. But steady. Insistent. It was a call-an ancient rhythm older than memory, threading through alleyways, rooftops, and restless hearts. Shay has spent her life sensing what others overlook: dreams that echo forward, coincidences that feel arranged, love that arrives carrying omens. But when a forgotten music hall in historic U Street begins surfacing in visions, she discovers the city is caught inside a broken loop of time-one bound to a missed moment, an unfinished love, and a past life that never fully ended. Some believe fate chose her. Others believe she has returned for something left undone. To save the present, Shay must locate the past hidden beneath Washington's streets, uncover the secrets held inside a legendary music hall, and face a love powerful enough to ignite memory across lifetimes. Because some doors in time do not stay closed. And some drums are meant to awaken what history tried to bury. Can Shay break the loop before the city-and her own life-repeats the same loss forever? *****Author's Note: The actual night I had in DC, used for the story. Healthy outlet! The magical realism (Seer, drums, etc), however is an exaggeration! Thanks for reading!****

### **THE HOLY GRAIL OF BLACK WOMEN** #### *A Black Man's Revelation, Research, and Respect* What happens when a Black man puts aside stereotypes, headlines, and opinions and follows the evidence? In **The Holy Grail of Black Women**, author **Corey Sims** explores the history, resilience, achievements, struggles, beauty, intelligence, and enduring impact of Black women through the lens of research, personal reflection, and lived experience. Inspired by his mother, sisters, daughters, and the countless Black women who have shaped families and communities, Sims examines topics ranging from human origins and education to entrepreneurship, health, wealth, family, culture, and legacy. This is not a book about perfection. It is a book about recognition. A book about women who carried generations through adversity, transformed obstacles into opportunity, and continued building when the world expected them to break. Honest, thought-provoking, and deeply personal, **The Holy Grail of Black Women** is a tribute to the strength, wisdom, sacrifice, and influence of Black women throughout history and today. **Because before the world learned their value, Black women were already proving it.** **Written by Corey Sims** *Research. Reflection. Respect.* 📖✍🏾

1635. A pit. Thirty-one men. And a queen who dug it herself. This is not the story of how Dode Akabi died. This is the story of how she lived. Born a Guan princess in a world that had already decided her ceiling, she married the wealthiest king on the Gold Coast, watched him die, and then did the one thing nobody in the history of the Ga people had ever done. She sat on the war-stool. A woman. A foreigner. A person the gods had not sanctioned and the priests could not control. And she stayed there for twenty-five years. The Ashen Crown of Akra is the epic story of West Africa's most dangerous queen. Of the wars she won that men took credit for. Of the laws she wrote that terrified an entire kingdom into order. Of the European merchants she weaponized. Of the son she protected so fiercely she nearly destroyed him. Of the priests who smiled at her face and sharpened their knives behind her back. Of the night she walked to the edge of a pit and chose her own ending before they could choose it for her. Inspired by the true history of Naa Dode Akabi of the Ga Kingdom, ancient Ghana. For readers of Empress Ki. The Woman King. Jodha Akbar. Jhansi Ki Rani. Elizabeth I. Africa has always had its queens. It is time you met this one.

This is a series of honoring black people, the true Jews/Hebrews, specifically the Negro peoples.

This seems to be a big problem and a daily occurrence with the world today. We are slowly being brainwashed to believe what they want us to believe, see things they want you to see, hear things they want you to hear. Slowly changing your perspectives, the way you view yourself, people and the environment around you. They paint false images of what perfection looks like, you know the fast cars, nice houses, Rolexes, etc. for the ladies, they've redefined perfection to be slim waist, big bosoms, fleece make up and so on, creating a problem of most of them not truly knowing and appreciating self worth. They don't even see themselves as perfect until they acquire these qualities. The media would also falsify stories by adding a little bit of salt to it in order to boost their ratings. You know, how we all add a little bit of lie to our stories when we tell friends who don't seem to be interested, just so we can get their attention? This has been going on for decades. People dying all around the world, storied that should be constantly aired in order to ignite some sort of spark that could one day, hopefully change the world. But no, they rather give you a quick headline of it and then switch it to news on which celebrity is dating who or something else that's totally irrelevant to the problems of the world. I know I'm probably ranting a lot for your liking and the main question that's probably ringing in your minds is "how do we solve the problem?" Like I mentioned earlier, the problem is that most of us don't know we are under mental slavery and the ones that do can't face the truth. They're so far into it that they feel comfortable and have accepted it as it is. So I guess the only way to be truly free is not necessarily to isolate yourself from it all, but to open your eyes and ears to see and listen to the things you can't see and hear. At least once you know the truth it is now up to you to decide what to believe and where to go from there.

The war overseas may be over, but the war on our shores has just begun... Britain is forever changed and trying to rebuild in the aftermath of WW2. It's a time for celebration of the victory, solemnity for those lost and depending on community now more than ever to thrive in a new global market. Despite everything against her, Ruth Fraser managed to make a name for herself during the War, even if it meant putting her love life on hold. Now that the world seems to be righting itself again, Lieutenant Thomas Murray seems to fall straight into her lap. But whilst Britain's record for fight for what is right during the War looks great in the history books, these ideologies don't seem to filter through back on shore and Tommy and Ruth's interracial relationship causes issues in their community.

In honor of black history month, I conjured a mini essay/ poem. The theme of this mini essay is "Black Optimism". I will explain more in the introduction. Enjoy! -Marilyn Edmond

Long before black folk passed through the MIddle Passage to these American shores our stories were shared one with another and passed on from mother to son, father to daughter, neighbor to neighbor, village to village. Storytelling is woven into the fabric of a nation of colored folks. Stories tell who we are and why we are in the midst of God's creation. The tales we tell paint the pictures of our determination, our resiliance, our purpose, our struggles, our joys and our sorrows. Our stories have long inhabited our praise. No one can better tell our stories than us. Every family has its teller and keeper of the traditions and histories. Sometimes stories are told and retold and sometimes they change greatly over the years. Stories are really never told the same way twice, you see. With all of this in mind, here is a compilation of tales for telling. Some are original tales and other are stories passed down to me from my mother and grandmother or folks I know. Still others are traditional African folktales that bare repeating over and over because the messages they hold inspire and enlighten listeners of all ages. For tellers, professional or story enthusiast, age appropriatness is noted. Most of these tales are snatched from the black experience including bible interpretations. Enjoy these stories. Tell them often -- pass them on!

Loriel is just a normal white 13 year old girl.....well not quite. The year is 1961 in Birmingham Alabama. Not a good place for black people to be, especially since your sister is black.......
