Tina (and Fat Louey)
Thank you for taking your valuable time to learn about this site.
This is the overflow of my everyday life, where I use my voice to share truth, power, and love through writing, music, art, relationship, dance, worship and action. I’m blessed with the kind of faith that helps me recognize pain as growth, life as a privilege and responsibility.
I manage development at a non-profit organization mission-driven to make life better for my neighbors in Watts, one of the most impoverished neighborhoods in the United States. My wise grandfather (rest his soul) taught my father to live to lead by example, and I do the same.
Improving another’s quality of life begins within and works outward. For me, that has meant self-transformation to purposefully honor, invest in, receive from, and enjoy life.
Time is critically fleeting so I listen intently and am careful to only speak when I can say something worth listening to: To be mindful of when it’s better to be silent. With that in mind, there may be messages shared here daily, or as sparingly as once or twice a month. If you find what I share to be enriching I hope you’ll follow to receive messages when they are posted.
Thanks again for sharing your time with me!
Hi, nice to meet you !
Hi i was just wondering if you ever stayed in Minnesota and did you ever go to North high school?
Hi, nope I didn’t.
You are not a black woman so why comment on black issues?
Thanks for visiting, I have to assume you assume I’m not black. I am. I’m black and I’m proud!
You look biracial and biracial is not the same as black despite what ignorant negros say.
Carol, thanks for visiting, and sharing your perception of me. I presume you assume I’m bi-racial. I’m not.
Carol… as a biracial woman i would love to hear what this looking bi-racial means and how that makes someone not black etc… do enlighten me… thx
Yoles, Carol and Melody are one and the same FYI.
Melody/Carol, Last time I checked someones perception or assumption of ones background or heritage is usually wrong, unwanted, and unnecessary. It is not your place to tell anyone how black they are or aren’t. In this case, I know this woman’s lineage…and sorry to inform your ignorant hateful self… but she is indeed bonafide “black”
. We come in all shades, shapes, and sizes. Sorry we confuse you with how unique and different we come, but next time maybe you will think twice before you write your idiotic small minded 1929 comment. Welcome to 2011 where you finally realized that “Negros” are allowed to speak on issues as well. No need to comment back, your first two comments were mind boggling enough 
Aww I am so glad to be me, knowing all of you, right now. This is a beautiful place, one of which I desire to make frequent visits. Thank You Miss Tina, for sharing some of you with all of us! =)
