  • Some beautiful HERstory was revealed in this video! Jah Love!!

  • I was asked once that if I could meet in person, anybody, live or dead, who would it be? I would love to have a drink and a little social conversation with the great Ma Rainy. Can you imagine being able to talk to her? You can be certain that for once in my life I would be listening more than talking. ;)
