This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay!

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression.

Wanda's Picks: Motherline Query
Today we speak with Dr. Zoe Franklin, an Africana Studies Professor at a community college in Chicago, Illinois. We speak by phone. Dr. Franklin and I discuss the inner child, her acknowledgment, reclamation, and healing. She shares a series of journal reflections (100 completed) to let us hear the voice of her inner child. What does repair or mending sound or look like? We appreciate Dr. Franklin's vulnerability and willingness to share her story with us today. We also appreciate the other women who have shared their Motherline Stories with us since March 2024. Dr. Franklin is our fifth participant.
