F7LN: Fredi Nyashia's 7 Loves..Nstruments of Nspiration

Will YOU Accept the “Create Our Village” Pledge?

With all the outcry for the violence that we are seeing in the world, our communities  (particularly low income communities & those predominantly people of color), we all can choose to play a role in transforming our current state. I’ve written various posts to uplift and encourage us all to take action no matter our […]

Was This Past Bloody Week Our Bloody Sunday Revisited?

My apologies if this offends anyone as it is not my intent to do so. With this past week’s tragedies of the killings of Alton Sterling, Philandro Castile, and the Dallas police, we are seriously hurting and many have been trying to deal, make sense of it, and figure out what next must be done. […]

The Issue of Violence: What Can YOU Do?

Last night I had the opportunity to sit on the panel of a Community Violence Prevention Discussion for college students and community members. Among a few of the things discussed were the root causes of violence, existing programs and resources, the role of key government officials, and the relationships amongst people in the community as […]

Support ‘Project Orange Tree’

Some people tend to associate April 1st with April Fool’s Day, a day of jokes, pranks, or poking fun. Well, this is no laughing matter, nor is the insane amount of violence taking place among the streets of the city of Chicago, as well as many other cities not just in the US but throughout […]

For Jonylah…Thank you Lupe & Derrick

A lot has been happening around me personally around the youth of this city.  These last two weeks alone have been trying, from incidents of parental abuse (physical & sexual) of a grade school student I work with, a teen hurting himself because of feelings of being unloved & talking about depression and suicide, a […]

“I’m Tired” – Hadiya ..Now, Are YOU?

Her last tweet…”I’m tired.” Yes, I’m tired too, baby girl. Tired of the senseless shooting of innocent children. Tired of hearing yet another gun claimed the life of another brother or sister. And I’m long past the point of taking this anymore. For those that have not yet heard about the shooting & killing of […]

Addressing Violence EVERYWHERE..Being the Change We Want To See

We all are still wrapping our heads around the Newtown, CT tragedy. I can be a pretty emotional person so I had to stop watching footage and stories or I’d be crying all the time as so many things were bringing me to tears. However, after seeing so many different reactions, I wanted to probe […]

A Year in Documentaries

You can say I’m a bit of a documentary buff and about a week or so ago I was watching a great one, “Half Past Autumn: The Life & Work of Gordon Parks”. After thinking about some that I’ve seen this year, I thought I’d post a few of those that were released in approximately […]

What’s Next? After the #VOTE

Election day…Ok, I get a lil emotional at times when I think about our elders and the things that they went through for us to have the opportunities we do.  I feel honored that they dealt with so much not just for themselves because they wanted us to have better.  I feel a strong sense […]
