5 Questions..with Shawn Jones

Mrs. Shawn Regina Jones will be one of three people recieving a Little Wellness Arts Award, Sunday November 11th at 4pm at our first Arts and Music Festival at The Shore Mall!

Mrs. Jones is a successful wife and mother.

I can say she has been a beautiful friend for many years.

Mrs. Jones is also an accomplished dancer and now a accomplished dance instructor.

So when we started to encourage each other to complete our books I had no doubt that she would become a successful writer.

Three years later, hundreds of people have been touched by the words in her books Womb Rain and Pictures in Glass Frames.

I was able to get Shawn R. Jones to answer these 5 questions as she prepares to be one of our first Little Wellness Arts Center Award Winners at our Arts and Music Festival on Sunday November 11th.

Q- What Do You Want People To get from PICTURES IN GLASS FRAMES?

SRJ-I reveal the intimate details of my tragic family history and restored adult life, so my readers will trust God with the difficult circumstances they face in their own lives. I want my readers to know that even though their faith is sometimes challenged, it can also be restored.

Q) What do you think the next book will be about?

 SRJ-My next book, Watering Flowers in the Rain, is also a collection of devotions. So far the recurring message seems to be that God's provision is enough. I am also working on a poetry book, titled Gray Areas.

Q)What would you be doing if not writing? 
 
SRJ- I would still be tutoring several students a week and teaching more dance classes.

 Q) What writers influence you now?

SRJ- Bestselling author, Lysa TerKeurst. I recently read her book titled, What Happens when Women Walk in Faith. I am also a big fan of C.S. Lewis, author of Screwtape Letters. I would say those are the Christian authors I have been influenced by recently. I am also greatly inspired by Toni Morrison.

 Q)What is the best thing about being a writer?

5. The phone calls, e-mails, and warm hugs I receive from people who have been touched by my book are the absolutely best rewards I have received from my writing. Those moments are invaluable. It is in those times that I am reminded that God is working.

Ray's List: The Mad List

MAD MAGAZINE on Cartoon Network may be the funniest, artsiest, freshest show that you are missing.

The Cartoon Network show is based on the popular magazine that has been a favorite on news stands since 1952. Not to be confused with the former SNL rival MAD TV.


MAD on Cartoon Network really is an animated version of the monthly magazine.


Here's A Few Reason Why You Should Check It Out!


1. MAD is an original-With out the success of Mad Magazine would there even be a Cartoon Network?
How many people who work at CN were either readers of MAD or influenced by readers, writers and artists of Mad Magazine. I know it was my dream job at age 15.


2. Mad Is Still Original-Over the years a few MAD rip offs came and enjoyed various levels of success there was Marvel's Crazy and also Cracked. I thought both Crazy and Cracked were excellent comedy magazines. However, only Mad has been able to stay into the 21st century. Mad is still full of ever changing and original ideas ...all of them funny.


3. The Humor In MAD should make you think more than it makes you ANGRY.
One thing I enjoy about MAD while reading as an adult is that the humor is often based on serious issues, Hollywood's lack of new ideas, and just the funny things in life.


4. Watching Mad on Cartoon Network is a great way to connect with your kids. Why watch an episode and then share some classic issues or go to the news stand and pick up the latest.
It should be a great way to at least encourage the enjoyment of reading.

These will be given out to Atlantic City junior highschool and highschool students via a drawing on September 6th at The Police Athletic League (250 N. New York Avenue, in Atlantic City!)

The event is sponsored by The Little Wellness Arts Center, the radio show The Music and Entertainment Report, Train Personal Fitness Studios, and T Marquise Entertainment (www.Tmarquise.com)

To make the event a total success, we are still in need of a few things more including: financial sponsors to offset other expenses (more sponsors are welcome) , office supply store gift cards, notebooks, pens, pencils, rulers, any and all school supplies are welcome.

For more immediate details please reach out to me at RaymondCTyler@gmail.com.

Again we would like to say thanks to the ACCC City Campus' Department Of Community Affairs for their donation. Now I am looking at Richard Stockton college where I volunteer and host a weekly radio show to to step up.

Editorial: Claim and Embrace What You Truly Want!

BLAME ME OR GIVE ME THE CREDIT

If you ask my mother I am sure she can rattle off 10 things she would choose for me to be than an artist, poet or radio host.

However, at the top of the list of all the things she wants me to be, there are several things Mrs. Tyler and I agree on.

She would like me to be a good person, she prays for me to be healthy and we both want me to be happy.

In order to be happy I have to make that happen.
I have to define what "happiness" is for me.
Then I have to claim it and embrace MY HAPPINESS.

I am blessed to be enjoying the life that I want right now.

I thought about this topic this week after two revealing events that took place.

First I attended a boat ride birthday party. After keeping to myself because there were few other Black people there, a friend of mine got me to mingling.

Before I knew it I was having a ball and living in the moment and even left that party and ventured to a beach bar where we had more fun.

I learned last week, that I enjoy sometimes living in the moment.
I understand the value of celebrating NOW!

On the flip side I spent time with someone later that week,that made realize that I am glad not to be a slave to what other people deem is "proper" for my life.

With out going into detail. I felt sad for my friend when we parted company.
 
I saw in that person, someone with the capacity to live a very fun life.Their"reasons" to me just exposed how little they had matured.

When they tried to bring me into their way of thinking I kindly ended the conversation and after a little while just parted company with them. Now I would never knock what works for someone else. However, this person admitted that they wanted enjoy themselves but took no ownership of why they chose not to.

I have to admit I was a little frustrated because their unwillingness to really enjoy the moment seemed to be based on what other people's expectations were and not what they themselves wanted from me or for themselves.

Again, if someone is NOT having a good time with someone, they should leave end of story.

I was also frustrated because because I know what I want and do very little in life half way.
_______________________________________________________________________

In short.

I do have limits but I do not let anyone else's expectations of who I am, what I do or what I should be , keep me from happiness.

I work hard and have worked hard to become the man that I am.

I have worked harder to become the artist that I am.

So you may see me on my way to NYC to a comic convention.
I may not be wearing the latest style because I have payment due on a radio show I am producing.
You might see me at a club dancing waaaaaay to close to my date or the woman I met there.

Whatever you see me doing, please believe that I am enjoying that moment because I want to be there. If I am not enjoying the moment I take ownership, that the choice was mine and not my momma's.

If you don't like the way I dance, the art I make, or the way I live life?

It sounds like a you problem.

JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE ENJOYING THE PEOPLE YOU WANT TO ENJOY!
THE MUSIC THAT YOU WANT TO DANCE TO!
AND THE ART THAT MAKES YOUR SPIRIT FREE!

If not you can blame it on "momma" , your friends or your family, but it is still a FAIL!

EDITORIAL: To Chicken or Not to Chicken

If I had a time machine I would surely travel to Montgomery, Alabama to witness Dr. Martin Luther King lead the boycott against the bus company and the law, that put Rosa Park's in jail.

I beam with pride, everytime I read a Dr. King speech about the BUS BOYCOTT, or see the film BOYCOTT, or think about the fact that for over a year, people of color and of conscious WALKED.

So, it pains to say that at this moment in time....I really don't care if you boycott the chicken store or not.

Here's why.

1.Based on the quality of the chick place we are talking about. No one should make that chicken a regular part of their diet.

2. We are at a point in our global economy where for every chicken place, you boycott for being against gay people, there are about 3 more big chains that do far worse to people.

So we stop eating at Chick Anti Gay...but then we still can only afford a flat screen TV from from the big "Blue Mart" store that crushes other businesses. It's just hard right now to make a purchase that doesn't leave you with blood on your hands.

3.Most Importantly. WE ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT FREEDOM AND LIFE!
Yes. We have some people who are not qualified to do much more than boycott a franchise and that is important. However, the real work is in organizing discussion groups so that more people can understand that gay people are not two headed monsters , anymore than black people are gorillas. The real work is in meeting and working with people who may actually make you uncomfortable until YOU GET TO KNOW THEM. It's okay we all have MEDIA PROGRAMMING to clean up in our heads and hearts.

I could go on but please believe BOYCOTTING a chicken store is NOT as important as saving for your kid to go to college or reading about Rosa Parks and Dr. King or getting a $50 cam corder of some kind and making a film about something more important than a reality show about pro athletes and their concubines....all of those acts are more revolutionary and will have greater impact on your own life.

4. Even if you are BOYCOTTING Chic-ANTI-Gay...do not become a pest about it.
I would never take away the sense of pride that one gains from standing up for your beliefs and speaking truth to power. This is however, America and people have every right to be wrong. People have the right to hate gays, blacks, babies, women and the handicapped and I would be the first and last to defend their right to be wrong.

Plus I feel we do not help ourselves to create a world where people cannot talk honestly about what they don't like. That kind of pressure leads to people doing very dangerous things co-vertly when they could just tell me..."I really don't like black people."

And that statement is just that a statement...it doesn't warrant a march, an argument or much of a response.

The statement that offends me more is when people boycott Chic-Anti-Gay and they cannot tell you who Rosa Parks was, they only know Dr. King from "I Have A Dream" and they cannot effectively explain what a boycott is and what their goal is with the boycott. I am even more offended when they don't know what happens after the boycott?

For the record, I never ate at the chicken place in question.
If I had I would be thinking long and hard about going back.
I love certain cities, but I limit my dealings in these cities because they have disgusting trends in profiling people of color.

However, I write, discuss and educate people about these issues as a part of my life.
I do not wait for a spotlight issue to join a movement.
My life is THE MOVEMENT.

HERE'S TO FINDING YOUR MOVEMENT AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU.

The Little Wellness Arts Center Remembers SHERMAN HEMSLEY

Remembering Sherman Hemsley Words By Raymond Tyler

TV Legend Sherman Hemsley passed away today at age 74.

The Philly native was well known for embodying several iconic TV characters .

As George Jefferson Hemsley represented the men who beat the odds in working their family out of poverty through business.

Years later the role of Deacon Frye on Amen took Hemsley back to Philly (at least as a character.)

Then years later Hemsley played the boss of WE SAY SO on Dinosaurs. Though not as well known as his George Jefferson role, no one could mistake Hemlsey's voice. The show Dinosaurs was much deeper than the way it was marketed. The show Dinosaurs was full of metaphors about how the same things that are killing to earth today such as greed, may have also lead to the fall of civilizations before ours.

Here in this clip from my favorite episode of The Jeffersons , George returns to the apartment he grew up in and accidentally meets the family that lives there today.

In many ways Hemsley's George Jefferson set the table for Bill Cosby's Cliff Huxtable (The Cosby Show) and James Avery's Phillip Banks (Fresh Prince of Bel Air.) I was so proud when Hemsley actually appeared on his friend Avery's show The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air as George Jefferson.

Every time I discuss important images of Black Men on TV, I will speak with pride of Mr. Sherman Hemsely.

A THOUSAND WORDS: Shanelle Gabriel, Blue, and Michelle Moseley

Tonight's Episode: Three's Company

Words and Photo By Raymond Tyler

Here are 3 poets that are just dopity dope...I have spent hours with my mouth open. Being amazed by their words and telling people you need to buy their books and cd's.

So here I go again....

Shanelle Gabriel's Start Something is a CD you and your daughter or niece or auntie need to listen to together.

Brad Blue Bathgate's Corner Store in The Middle Of the Block should be mandatory for everyone who grew up in a hood. I believe it's the official hand book to Harlem.

And Michelle Moseley's CD Hood Approved should be required listening for any young woman who is thinking about calling themselves "WIFEY".
And if you live in the 609 area and don't own Hood Approved?
WTF are doing with your life Boo Boo?

POEM OF THE DAY:"We Made it" by Sunni Patterson

All that matters is this:
Which side will we pick
Which path will we choose
Either win or lose cuz death don’t come in vain
Not for us to remain enslaved or our spirits to remain in cages
It comes so we might be courageous
To fulfill our obligation to our God and all creation
And stand in determination
Able to look death in the face and say
WE MADE IT!
WE MADE IT!
WE MADE IT!
WE MADE IT!

www.sunnipatterson.com

Biography
More than a poet, more than a singer, more than an emcee–it’s not just what she says, it’s how she says it. Emerging from the musical womb that is New Orleans, artist and visionary Sunni Patterson combines the heritage and tradition of her Native town with an enlightened modern world view to create music and poetry that is timeless in its groove.

Sunni has been a featured performer at the many of Nation’s premier spoken word venues, including HBO’s Def Poetry Jam. She has also had the priviledge of speaking at the Panafest in Ghana, West Africa. She has worked with several well known artists and performers including Hannibal Lokumbe- singing lead vocals for his score,”King and the Cresent City Moon,” Kalamu Ya Salaam, Sonia Sanchez, Wanda Coleman, Amiri Baraka, Laini Kuumba Afrikan Dance Company, and many more.

An Aborisha (Omo Oshun) and advocate of Holistic Health, Sunni has trained under such greats as Oluwo Afolabi Epega, Dr. Ndugu Khan (Babalawo Ifa Kayode,) Queen Malikah Sabah (Iyanifa Faadisi Olaolu Olabisi,) Dr.Morris F.X.Jeff,Jr., Nana Anoa Nantambo, Mama Jean Taiwo, Nana Kwabena Faheem Ashanti, Ph.D, and several others. She is a certified instructor of Chi Kung (Qi Gong) and Tai Chi for Health.

There is so much more to say about her, but words just cannot describe her way, her Spirit, her grace, or gift of healing. In every word/sound she utters, you hear the grit and grime, hope and love, problem and solution, optimism and faith. She is a mouth piece for the Ancestors, a vessel used to promote goodness in a world where oppression and injustice seems the order of the day. What a blessing it is to feel her warm and nourishing rays shine light on your soul!
