<div><p><b>The GroovaLottos debut album, "ASK YO MAMA" not only received 4 Grammy nominations bus is <a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3828604325,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="400" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828604325,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-right" alt="3828604325?profile=original" /></a>still going strong in sales and song discoveries by new fans. The song "Just Is..." becomes one of the rising r&b hits of the album.</b></p><p><span>"Just Is..." a nice dance floor-worthy love song, planted right in the middle of The GroovaLottos multi-Grammy nominated album is gaining the attention of r&b fans, slowly appearing on urban format radio stations around the country, and streaming and downloads of the song are increasing; especially following the band's appearance out of nowhere on the Grammy ballot for 'Best Traditional R&B Performance' for the ballad "Autumn Moon" as well as their nomination for 'Best R&B Album'.</span><br /><br /><span>Opening with a single piano chord, the song rapidly evolves into a groove and catchy vocal chorus, delivering the song's mantra-like refrain, "Not everything needs words, 'cause it just is..." The biggest surprise for the band was at a recent gig where fans were calling the song out as a request.</span><br /><br /><span>Considering that the band entered the industry under the category of "Americana" and more specifically "Indie Blues" and also found audiences in the categories "Jam Band" and "Alt Pop" the r&b markets just another conquest for this 'genre-bending' act. Albeit that The GroovaLottos are an old-school soul and funk band, their entire contemporary Black music paradigm have shifted to the extent that old school funk and soul are considered "Jam Band" and "Alt Pop" in today's market.</span><br /><br /><span>"Part of the psychological legacy of American society is to teach Black people to devalue their own aesthetic contributions as commodities and fads." explains GroovaLottos keyboardist, Mwalim DaPhunkee Professor. "Put that together with the curatorial nature of the music industry when it comes to Black music, there is no way to market Black music to Black people unless it's the latest trend." Band members recall an evening where a young audience member tried to explain why hip-hop is better than funk; completely oblivious to the fact that hip-hop is rooted in funk.</span><br /><br /><span>Originally appearing as a house music song on the "DEEP Soul Chants & Hollers" in 2012,by Mwalim DaPhunkee Professor and featuring spoken-word artist, Tantra Zawadi, the re-incarnation of the song still seems to have a strong attraction particularly to feel fans as customer demographics reveal that 78% of the people downloading and streaming the song are women. "Ask Yo' Mama" remains a strong selling album on iTunes, Spotify, and Amazon; with copies selling particularly well as live shows and appearances.</span><br /><br /><span>Check out "Just Is..." by The GroovaLottos here:</span><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Just-Is/dp/B071CQ29QZ" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Just-Is/dp/B071CQ29QZ</a></p></div>

Annapurna Circuit Trekking is well known as also <a href="http://www.buddhanepaltrek.com/annapurna-circuit-trekking.php" target="_blank">Annapurna Round Trekking</a> which opened to foreign trekkers in 1977. Annapurna Circuit trekking trails offers to taste you vast different elevation you terrace field, rhododendron forest, diverse Himalayan culture, range of massif mountains and high pass of throung-la. Most spectacular mountain scenery, fascinating insight into the life of middle hill Nepalese culture of gurung, magar, manangi and thakali are the reward that a trekkers get from <a href="http://www.buddhanepaltrek.com/annapurna-circuit-trekking.php" target="_blank">Annapurna Circuit Trek.</a><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}3828539121,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="750" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3828539121,original{{/staticFileLink}}" style="padding:3px;" class="align-right" alt="3828539121?profile=original" /></a><br />This three weeks trekking starts from Besishahar and goes along the marshyangdi river, with spectacular and majestic view of the white himalayas of manashlu and himal chuli to the east. This magnificent trek leads you to the fine village inhabited by a wide diversity of people from different ethnic groups. As it continues to the north of the main himalayan range on to the high and dry tibetan plateau, the scenery is equally breathtaking. <br /><a href="http://www.buddhanepaltrek.com/annapurna-circuit-trekking.php" target="_blank">The highest pass is thorung la pass</a> above from 5416m sea level. Due to the difficulties of crossing the pass, the circuit is usually walked in a counter clockwise direction. Traveling clockwise the longer ascent and shorter descent from west to east is too much for many peoples to manage in one day. As we descend to the west at muktinath from manang, we continue to the the barren tibetan like village of the kali gandaki – the world’s deepest gorge passes between the giant Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains.

He was among the first African American TV reporters, and I thought then, as I do now, wow, that he was so very handsome, he should have been a male model (I later found out that he had been). I was new to New York at the time, and happy to find they had Black people on TV talking about things important to us. At the time I was a college administrator, and an activist, not a journalist. So I made sure my students watched any and all Black shows. <br /> <br /> I remember thinking the name "Noble" really suited him, because he always carried himself in a very noble, dignified, professional, yet affable, manner. I wondered whether it was his real name or a name chosen for TV. I later found out that Gil had been NOBLE all his life.<br /> <br /> The second time I saw Gil, was when his art director, and my friend, Cecil Brathwaite - a/k/a Elombe Brath, artist, activist, founder of the Grandassa Models, the first Black women to model African styled clothes with natural hair - introduced me to him just prior to a protest to save Michaux's book store from being destroyed to make way for a State Office Building that was to be erected on the corner of 125th and 7th Avenue. At the time the community had made it clear that they wanted a high school to be constructed there so youth would not have to travel outside the community. As you can see, it fell on deaf ears.<br /> <br /> Gil interviewed Dr. Michaux, members of the community, representatives from the state. And each time it struck me how professional, genteel, and disciplined this brother was; how well versed he was in issues concerning Black people, and regardless of what was going on, he was determined that it not be buried under either rhetoric or watering down of the facts.<br /> <br /> He had just started as news anchor for "Like It Is" (which, for the uninitiated is short for the phrase "telling it like it is"), with actor Robert "Bobby" Hooks as host, and was dedicated to doing just that. When Hooks moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career, Gil became the host. His staff was extremely small. ABC did not provide them with a camera van, so 90% of everything was done on foot. Elombe Brath - who in his own right was an activist, artist, designer, and community leader - was instrumental in getting him inside information on issues in the Black community, as well as access to the guests and community leaders who would often appear on the show. (It was Elombe who came up with the signature logo of the Red Black & Green Flag with the African mask in front of it, and the drummers in the background.)<br /> <br /> But the monumental thing about Gil, was that he provided the inside information, in depth about our community without condemnation. He appeared to pull himself out of it from a personal standpoint, while at the same time allowing the voice of the community to be heard, the scenes to be viewed - there were no sound bytes here. No snippets of information with a white overlay of misinterpretation. And we loved it, because we lived it; and we loved him for presenting it in a forum that allowed the rest of us to make some informed decisions, or corroborate what we knew to be true (or debunk the lies).<br /> <br /> It was always reassuring to see Gil and his cameraman on scene - he was at Riverside Church for the homegoing services for Dr. Betty Shabazz (Malcolm X's widow). He was likewise at Lena Horne's homegoing services nearly 20 years later, still standing tall and on the case at the age of 79. Unlike Eyewitness News, Gil would come and stay. No pretense of giving you 11 minutes and he gave you the world." No! It was letting the world in on events "and issues they may not have had access to otherwise. It was presenting the other, the true face of Black culture, which differed greatly from what so many news reports led you to believe.<br /> <br /> When he did the one-on-one live interview at the Apollo with Harry Belafonte, it was the first time I had ever known him to be nervous. But what a thrill! What a tour de force to have these two great minds sitting together, discussing issues of the Black world in particular, the world in general - face to face in front of a packed audience. Wouldn't have missed it for the world.<br /> <br /> Gil Noble always had an open door policy at Like It is. His studios were located on 67th and Columbus at ABC Studios. But as the climate changed, and Black issues became passe` in the white world, things around him began to be less hospitable at WABC, who had decided that his show was no longer relevant. During the first of many attempts to cancel his show through attrition, they stripped him of practically all his staff, including Elombe Brath, leaving him with a series of associate producers. But Gil soldiered on. They began to shift around the times the show would air. Originally it came on at 9:00 AM, giving church goers plenty of time to watch before attending Sunday services; also giving us plenty to talk about after church. They moved it to 11:00 AM, prime church time in the Black community; then to 1:00 PM. And, finally, after the community really began to protest, finally settled at 12:00, which is where it had remained until Gil's illness.<br /> <br /> To further harass him (and us) they would pre-empt the show with bogus sports reports, as though that was much more important than issues happening the Black community. Or they would truncate it to a half an hour instead of the full hour for which it was allocated. To add insult to injury, Like It Is was the only show that was not promoted during the course of the week - no highlights of upcoming events or guests. We had to find that out on our own, or wait until Sunday to find out. Of course Gil would announce who his upcoming guest would be; but there were no promotional pieces in the interim for a show that was considered a public affairs program (which used to be mandatory under FCC regulations).<br /> <br /> You could no longer "stop by" to see Gil, either. They began to set up a series of checks and clearances to visit his studio. Gil had to also fight to maintain editorial integrity with his show, as ABC liked to saddle him with interns and "overseers" who in most cases were only there to try and censor the information coming though his show.<br /> <br /> When WABC threatened to cancel the show, CEMOTAP, under the leadership of Bettye Dopson and Dr. James MacIntosh, confronted WABC-TV on his behalf (and ours); and offered to provide the sponsorship money necessary to have the show placed in a better time slot, and to provide the kind of staff he required. WABC refused! Now when is the last time you've ever heard of a TV franchise turning down money?<br /> <br /> In other conversations with Gil, he stated that he was not allowed access to the vast collections of his shows dating back to the 70's. He had wanted to syndicate them, and burn them into DVD's using the new technology, to make them available to the new generation of youth; not to mention those of us who were part of that history. They would not release his library to him!<br /> <br /> Paralleling Like It Is back in the day was a show called Black News, which later morphed into The McCreary Report, which came on Channel 5, and was hosted by Bill McCreary, long time friend of Gil Noble. The how was a longrunning success before Rupert Murdock bought the station and it became Fox Five Television. Those two shows kept the Black community informed, along with Gary Byrd's GBE (Global Black Experience), Black people in New York and parts of the tri-state area, were pretty much up to date on issues in the community and the world.<br /> <br /> However, it was clear that a trend was in place to silence these Black voices. Bill McCreary was excised from Fox Five even though, at the time, he was a sitting Vice President at the station. Protests in his behalf brought him back for a short period of time, but it was clear that Murdock wanted to get rid of the show, and he finally had his way (interestingly enough, under the original FCC rules, you could only own a radio or TV station if you were an American - wonder what happened to change that?) . Later, Gary Byrd's show (which had broadcast live from the Apollo Theatre, giving the community an opportunity to be involved live, on the air, was cancelled for "philosophical differences," ending that era. And Tony Brown's Journal just dropped off the planet completely - totally unannounced - gone!<br /> <br /> Gil Noble was our last man standing!! And stand he did!! He stood through all the hostility, sabotage, and just plain crazy-making double-talk they leveled at him. He maintained his ground, his integrity and the quality of Like It is through all that. He stood when they didn't market the show for sponsors; he stood fast when they denied the show Black sponsors. He was/is one of my personal heroes. I know that I could not have done what he did - there aren't many of us who could take it day after day, week after week, year after year, without losing our cool, our tempers and ultimately or job.<br /> <br /> But he took it!! Gil was devoted to educating and enlightening the Black community. A lesser man would have thrown in the towel; or groveled at the feet of the TV honchos. Not Gil Noble! He could see through their machinations, realizing that compared to what he was about, they were dust in the wind. It was interesting to me that he and my mom shared the same birthdate, February 22, although my mom will be 90 next year, they both have that determination to see things through regardless of the peril. If they believe in something or some one, nothing will shake them. Challenges bring out the best in them. That's my mom. That was definitely Gil Noble. Go over it, around it, under it, through it, without a complaint - a stoicism that came from the inside out. You'd never see it in their faces, or hear it in their voices. They not only handled the situation - whatever it was - it was so seamless you'd never know there was a problem. Must have really been problematical to Gil's antagonizers to see how he continued on in spite of and because of them.<br /> <br /> My fondest memory of Gil, and one of those special bonding moments was when Gil, Kwame Brathwaite, and I were standing together at the back of a sound truck, with cameras in one hand and mike in the other, reporting the low-fly buzzing of Rudy Giuliani's attack squad helicopters over the Million Youth March in 1998! What a day. We had been there from the very first speaker. The event was winding down, and Khallid Muhammad had decided not to speak because he felt the previous speakers had fully expressed all that needed to be said to the audience. The police had set up barricades throughout the street; closed the Subway entrances and exits, re-routed the buses, and had a phalanx of mounted police near Marcus Garvey park, apparently ready to sweep through the crowd. However, much to their chagrin, the crowd had been orderly, and cooperative. They had listened to and cheered the speakers, and had prepared to disburse in an orderly fashion. The sudden appearance of the helicopters overhead totally changed the atmosphere, and Khallid Muhammad then called for the participants to not be subjected to police assaults, but to return violence for violence.<br /> <br /> Here we were standing there with our cameras and tape recorders capturing all this. It did not occur to either of us to move or protect ourselves. We were so absorbed in the surreal nature of the moment, not to mention injustice of the whole thing - who in their right mind would buzz a group of youth with helicopters? To do what? When everything finally subsided, we just stood together, looked around and realized that we had come very close to being fatalities ourselves. From that point on, my regard for Gil escalated off the charts! As I am sure it did with the rest of the Black community.<br /> <br /> When it was learned that out dear brother Gil had suffered a stroke, I, like so many others, immediately went into prayer mode. I had hoped for one of those miracles where he would have been able to rally and recover completely. But the Infinite had other plans. The reason he lingered so long among us was probably because he was negotiating some final shows to be done in the future.<br /> <br /> I also prayed for the rest of us in the Black community as well. Not only has a great voice been stilled, it had been stilled at a crucial point, when there was no heir apparent to step in and fill those considerable shoes of his - Gil was not only very handsome, even at the age of 80, he was 6'5" and walked like a giant. His soft spoken ways carried a lot of weight.<br /> <br /> Some had speculated his son would be able to take the reigns; others recommended Gary Byrd, a great choice and a great voice for the community; still others viewed Milton Alimadi (publisher of the Black Star News), who was a frequent visitor to the show, and a great friend, as the next host. Years ago, I had spoken to Gil about having a co-anchor who could be written into the contract at some point, so there was no gap, in case he wanted to take a break. He said he had considered that, but had not worked out the details of who it would be and how often they would be on. He also felt it would be an uphill battle getting WABC to agree to it. At the time he was still trying to get control over his past shows.<br /> <br /> Interestingly enough, when Mike Wallace left 60 Minutes, his son Chris Wallace was able to step in and maintain continuity. CBS apparently didn't have a problem with making it happen. (By the way, Condolences to the Wallace Family; Mike Wallace was also a great journalist in his own right. It was clear that both he and Gil Noble loved and cared deeply for what they did. They were Icons in the industry of news and public affairs.).<br /> <br /> Isn't it strange that WABC-TV couldn't have managed to make that happen for Gil Noble and Like It Is, and their Black viewership as well? But then, if their past actions are any indication, they have long been trying to kill the show; Gil's demise has now made this possible. WHAT!!! I'm just saying....! They've concocted some show entitled "Here and Now" to fill that time slot, rather than do the "noble" ethical thing, and extend Like It Is under a new anchor, it so that the essential voice for the Black viewers can be preserved and expanded. In the parlance of TV those kind of shows are evergreen - like Saturday Night Live, or 60 Minutes. When you have such opportunities, and you have a following, you obviously don't want to kill it. You would want to expand that market - not truncate it, or supplant it. <br /> <br /> Over the last 44 years that Like It Is has been on TV, Gil Noble has brought into our living rooms the likes of Desmond Tutu, C. Vernon Mason, Rev. Al Sharpton, Maya Angelou, Harry Belafonte, Muhamnad Ali, Bill Cosby, Nelson Mandela, Dr. John Henrik Clark, Dr. Betty Shabazz, Cong. Charles Rangel, Dr. Joy deGruy Leary, Regent Adelaide Sanford, Adam Clayton Powell IV, and so many, many others. He was and is an Icon of Black Reportage. There should be classes in journalism taught based on his style of reporting and interviewing. There should be standards of ethics and professionalism extrapolated from his example. He was the epitome of cool under pressure.<br /> <br /> But we can't just let it go there, and say that this is it. Gil's transition should not spell the end. Maybe a comma (,) or a colon (:), but not a period (.). We owe something back to Gil Noble for the nearly 50 years of service he dedicated to us. Not an empty monument or a statuette. We owe him a living legacy. We owe him the solid backing of the extension of his show on WABC, or move it to a station that will honor the right and necessity for Black journalism and cultural reportage. We owe him to ensure the syndication of his work so that we and our youth can have access now and into the future. Others, such as Tupac, Biggie , etc., have been given more credence and support, and yet have not made nearly the contribution that Gil Noble's Like It Is has done. This debt, this obligation rests with us, his Black family, his viewers. We, who have benefited so greatly from all that he has said, been and done, can do no less than to make sure all his work does not go unheralded, and unpreserved. And I'm just telling you "like it is:" Our job is to keep Gil Noble's legacy alive!<br /> <br /> Gil Noble won 7 Emmies for his work, as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award. This gentle giant, former jazz artist, father of five, has been an integral part of the fabric that goes to make up the tapestry of the Black community. His family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the GIL NOBLE ARCHIVES, PO Box 43138, Upper Montclair, NJ, 07403.<br /> <br /> Condolences to his wife Jean, his four daughters, Lisa, Lynn, Leslie, Jennifer and his son, Chris. It must have been special growing up in that family. Blessings to them and his eight grandchildren. There are so many of us who loved Gil as much as his family did. We know that they were the wind beneath his wings that made it possible for him to come out each day and face those battles.<br /> <br /> The wake and viewing will be held at Abyssinian Church, on Thursday, April 12, 2012 from 7:00pm til 10:00pm. Gil's homegoing services will take place Friday, April 13, at Abyssinian Baptist Church, 10:00am.<br /> <br /> And for those of you who are saying "rest in peace" to Gil, disabuse yourself of that concept right now. I guarantee you that has already set up some interviews with people like W.E.B duBois, Frederick Douglass, Malcolm X, Duke Ellington - his dream interviews with cultural Black Icons of the past. After all, we are talking about Gil Noble. Just because he's made his transition to the next plane of action does not mean that he's going to stop doing what he loves: telling it "LIKE IT IS" - even in Heaven.<br /> <br /> Stay Blessed &<br /> ECLECTICALLY BLACK<br /> Gloria Dulan-Wilson</div><div class="post-body entry-content"><br /> Posted by Gloria Dulan-Wilson at 12:19 AM<br /> <br /> Thank YOU For Visiting Gloria Dulan-Wilson Eclectic Black People VIP Blog.

<td width="490"><table width="490" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td><div><font face="Century Gothic" size="2" color="#000000"><span>[Tribute To A Legend]</span><span><br /><br />My dear brother and friend, Gil Noble, renowned journalist and long-time host of "Like It Is" suffered a stroke last week, people in contact with his family inform me.<br /><br />Several people in close contact with the family say brother Gil Noble is hospitalized. Some people in contact with the family say his condition is serious enough that relatives are traveling from Jamaica to be near this beloved chronicler of African stories everywhere.<br /><br />Bother Gil Noble's family, understandably, has been dealing with this profound health setback in a private manner. At the same time, millions of people love Gil Noble, for the honesty, love, dedication and devotion he brings to covering all issues that impact Africans and people of African ancestry everywhere in the world. He has also invited renowned historians on his show to remind the world of Africa's rich history and culture and he's also interviewed some of the greatest musicians who have walked this earth.<br /><br />Indeed, because Gil Noble's show airs Sundays at noon on WABC channel 7, many people complain to me about their weekly dilemma; should they attend church services or stay at home and watch "Like It Is."<br /><br />So, today, I humbly invite all those who love Gil Noble and what he's done to educate the world about the African experience --on the continent and in Diaspora-- to take a moment and say some words in prayer for brother Gil Noble in this his hour of need.<br /><br />I have been an admirer of Gil Noble and fan of "Like It Is," for many years, even before I received my own journalistic training in the early 1990s at Columbia University. Later, I was very extremely humbled and even taken aback, when Gil invited me to appear on his show. After having watched some of the large figures who had been guests on "Like It Is," --including some of the earlier interviews that he replayed, with Kwame Ture, Dr. Ben-Jochanan, Dr. John Henrik Clarke, Robert Mugabe, Michael Manley, Fannie Lou Hamer-- I did not believe that I had yet earned such honors.<br /><br />Brother Gil Noble has had me on "Like It Is," several times.<br /><br />Now, often, when I enter an MTA bus, drivers refuse to accept my fare, saying they are happy to drive someone who has been on "Like It Is." Countless people have stopped me on the streets of Harlem just to shake my hand. Young ladies on the subway have asked permission to leave their seats and come sit next to me--all because of my appearances on "Like It Is." This is how much Gil Noble and "Like It Is," are admired and loved.<br /><br />On "Like It Is," I have often shared the floor with: the tireless and philosophical reporter, historian, and educator, Herb Boyd; the people's political champion, New York City Councilmember Charles Barron; South African-born Pan-African and entrepreneur, Shikulu Shange, and; the peerless brilliant journalist and former Newsday editor, Les Payne.<br /><br />Beyond journalism, what most people may not know about Gil Noble is that he has the largest heart of any living person I know. He has a<br />profound and infectious love for African peoples. This is a very busy man who still always finds the time to call me to check on how I'm<br />doing; especially during the recession when he wanted to make sure my refrigerator was not empty. <br /><br />On many occasions, I also stop by his offices at WABC at Lincoln Square to chat and to admire his collection of books and African art. During a recent visit he showed me a breath-taking bust that he had sculpted himself years ago. We sometimes chat about his love of music; he once played the piano and might have become an accomplished professional musician. He says after he heard the musical legends, he settled on journalism.<br /><br />Muhammad Ali is one of Gil's heros. He says as a rookie reporter Ali spotted him and granted him an exclusive interview and waved off established reporters from so-called mainstream media. Ali told him to always "give back" to the community; Gil Noble has made that his life's mission. He says Ali taught him not to be "afraid of being Black."<br /><br />Whether we speak on the phone or in person, Gil's first words are always: "Milton, what's going to happen to our people? Our people are<br />catching hell here and in Africa." Another thing he always says is: "How can you know where you're going if you don't know your history?" He mourns the demise of Black History courses in schools throughout the country.<br /><br />Whether documenting the historical achievements of Black people, or celebrating their great music and arts, or inviting a guest to critique the contemporary public schools system, I'm sure most viewers will agree that "Like It Is," is simply the best program of its type. Gil abhors fluff and his show delivers the best in analyses and critique.<br /><br />Fans of "Like It Is" also know that WABC's management has in the past reportedly tried to cancel "Like It Is" and would have succeeded had it not been for rallies to support the show that were organized by the Committee to Eliminate Media Offensive to African Peoples (CEMOTAP) under Betty Dopson and Dr. James McIntosh.<br /><br />Gil Noble could have turned his back on the African community --like many other reporters who were let into the upper floors in corporate<br />journalism-- and worked like a media "star" promoting his own career by ingratiating himself towards his employers. He refused and he stands out as a great inspiration to young journalists everywhere regardless of their gender, race or nationality.<br /><br />Of course, Gil Noble has the greatest appreciation for the history of the suffering and exploitation of African peoples so he's devoted his life<br />and career towards seeking and sharing information to help uplift their conditions on this often cruel earth.<br /><br />Gil is a beautiful man who has made me a much better human being.<br /><br />As brother Gil Noble today gallantry fights to recover his health -- a challenging battle whose outcome is unpredictable-- it's important for people who love him and "Like It Is," to let WABC management know that they expect the show to continue. The station mustn't be allowed to use Gil's health setback as an excuse to eliminate the show.<br /><br />There are several very worthy hosts who can warm the seat for brother Gil Noble, including Les Payne, who brings profound intelligence and brilliant analytical capabilities to journalism. Les Payne has been a "Like It Is," guest on numerous occasions. Les Payne would do an excellent job --and make it impossible for WABC to get rid of the show-- until such a time when its host, our creator willing, resumes his great mission of Speaking Truth To Power.<br /><br />This is the time for every person who cares about serious journalism to call WABC at <a target="_blank">(212) 456-7777</a> or <a target="_blank">(212) 456-7000</a>; tell the show's producer to let WABC management know that they expect "Like It Is" to continue. Also contact CEMOTAP at <a target="_blank">(718) 322-8454</a> and see what help Sister Dopson and Dr. McIntosh need in keeping the flames of "Likt It Is" burning eternally.<br /><br />This is the very least that people can do in return for the love and devotion that Gil Noble has shown for African peoples everywhere.<br /><br /><br /><span>"Speaking Truth To Empower."</span><br /></span></font></div>

Is this the best we have to offer? I don't quite understand his reasons for being there. And what's up with the Godmother? She doesn't seem to speak good English herself. Did I hear her say 'mens'? As I recall, I was always taught 'men' is already plural.It's time for our community to realize that recognition is not always a symbol of positivity, but rather a facade. This is no different than painting our face white and tap dancing across the floor for entertainment. Do we really believe this is success? I don't think so. This is a case of belittlement and a way to allow others to laugh and make jokes behind our backs. Let's not be fooled by the recognition, money and fancy material things that go along with this. This does not constitute success nor freedom, but rather a way to keep us mentally oppressed and challenged while others keep their foot on our necks. WAKE UP!!! Surely we can do better than this.People, let's educate and motivate our children. Allow them the opportunity to see their options in life. Whether a CEO, Investor, Doctor, Nurse, Teacher, Scientist, Secretary, Athlete, Entertainer, Politician etc. - - be the best that you can be! But whatever the choice may be, keep it sensible and constructive. Let's not make a spectacle of ourselves and our community.Finally, let's not be taken aback by the fame and fortune. And parents, let's not be quick to be proud of our children when we think or if in fact they are making 'great' money. If making great money is through the means of making an 'ass' of ourselves, than I consider it a deal with the devil. There are so many vital elements to life other than fancy things and fame. Come on PEOPLE!! Wake up!What are your thoughts? Please by all means share!<center><object width="445" height="364" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/vNLVUW7cWMI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" ></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" ></param><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vNLVUW7cWMI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" ></param><embed wmode="opaque" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vNLVUW7cWMI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="never" width="445" height="364" allownetworking="internal"></embed></object></center></div>

The daughter of an alcoholic mother, Talia had to grow up fast and mother to her younger siblings and cousin.<br /> <br /> Needless to say, Talia made some bad choices in life where love and men were concerned. After two broken relationships and two sons, she feels as though she has won the lottery when she meets Andre Peters, a very well-to-do sports agent. The fact that he's married takes a backseat to Talia's happiness.<br /> <br /> Imagine her surprise when she calls his wife, Sade, to brag about the on-going affair, and Sade shares some news of her own. Never in her darkest nightmare did Talia imagine that her lover, her knight in shining armor, was HIV positive!<br /> <br />Some things between a husband and wife are best left between that husband and his wife, huh?<br /><br />Linda R.
