Day 19 - Yeah, we're there...Not actually, but practically!

"Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible." -George Washington Carver

Making Dinner today had a huge LESSON behind it. (Let me rewind)Not long ago,I walked into a restaurant called "SOUTHERN KITCHEN" or something like that. So, I'm thinking somebody's Auntie or Granny would be in there frying fish & chicken, but to my surprise-it was an all Asian & Mexican staff. Not to discriminate, but I'm like "WHY DO WE LET EVERYBODY COME SELL BACK TO US OUR CREATIONS"?

So, I decided to learn how to cook things outside or your typical soul food.I know for many,it's like "Girl, you late" but seriously, I had NO IDEA how much I was NOT tapping into the rest of the world.I think it's the "Off Limits" signs we place on anything that does not have our face on it. Long story short - I'M NOT GIVIN ANOTHA M-Fa my HARD EARNED $$ FOR STUFF THAT I RESPECTED AS "THEIRS" WHEN THEY SELL ME "MINE"

BTW, THAT SH&T WAS GREAT!!!

"I LOVE SPOKEN WORD/POETRY" is soon...

Hey,

Many of you met me as the "Girl that does Spoken Word" because when I first moved to Atlanta, I would frequent the spoken word spots. On the other hand, there are a number of people that have no idea that I am a writer/spoken word Artists/Poet...well, I AM!

Not often am I inspired, but when I am...it comes flowing like the nile. Kinda crazy because when I'm not...I can't form a stanza to save my life. Well, not actually, but you know what I mean.

Anyways, May is National Poetry Month, therefore "3 on 3rd" will present "I LOVE SPOKEN WORD/POETRY" on Friday, May 17th. It's going to be an INCREDIBLE show as a number of local spoken word Artists are coming out to do tributes & perform some of their original works.



Make sure you come on by...and if you do, let them know that you read on my blog that I was giving $3 OFF to anyone that subscribes. :)

BTW, Don't get mad at me...the REAL blogging is coming...Just overloaded with work right now. I PROMISE :)

See ya,
Ms. Dia
