Are you reading?
As a BzzAgent for BzzScape I get many opportunities to try different products. One of the latest is the Domino Project. The Domino Project is the brainchild of Seth Godin and powered by Amazon. They're reinventing what it means to be publisher and spreading ideas to people who can use them. As part of this campaign I receive a new book each month 3 weeks before it is officially released. The current title from The Domino Project is Self Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson and it is a contemporary re-imagining of Emerson's book with self-reflections from historical and current philosophers. I'm halfway through the book and thought I would share. Its important to constantly examine your life and take action or make changes. This book, may help inspire that. Check it out.

Dear friends,
New York City's police are targeting Black and Latino neighborhoods with a massive campaign of harassment and illegal frisks and searches, in a push for marijuana arrests. These arrests give thousands of young people a criminal record which can ruin their lives.
Of the tens of thousands of people arrested for possessing small amounts of marijuana each year, 86% are Black or Latino while just 11% are White — even though White people use marijuana at higher rates.[1] Marijuana possession is supposed to be treated like a traffic violation under state law, but NYC police are falsely charging people with having marijuana "in public view." It's outrageous, and it needs to stop now.
Mayor Bloomberg is the one person who can immediately order NYPD to stop this — and more than ever, he's being challenged on this issue by city council members, the media, and the public. Please join me in calling on Mayor Bloomberg to end this racially-biased, destructive and expensive policy:
Twisting and abusing the law
Marijuana was decriminalized in New York in 1977, and possession of small amounts of marijuana became a violation that triggers a $100 fine, and doesn't result in arrest. At the time, a law was also put in place to punish people who smoke marijuana public — making it a misdemeanor to have marijuana "in public view." Now, police are abusing this law to arrest large numbers of people for marijuana possession.
Most people arrested for marijuana in New York aren't actually guilty of having it "in public view." In some cases, police trick people by asking them to "empty out your pockets." Many people don't know that they're not legally required to do so, and comply with the officer's request. Once in "public view," the marijuana possession becomes a misdemeanor — a criminal offense — and the person is arrested. In many other cases, police conduct a full search, reaching into a person's pockets (illegally, since they have no warrant). When they find marijuana, they make an arrest and falsely charge the person under the "public view" law.[2]
Many of these cases are thrown out by prosecutors — a prosecutor in the Bronx DA's office said that her office alone throws out 10-15 of these cases a day, because the police paperwork itself says that the marijuana was not in public view (i.e. that police pulled it out of someone's pocket).[3] But thousands of people are tried and convicted. This kind of conviction can mean trouble applying to school and jobs, eviction from public housing, and can even cause someone's children to be taken away from them.
Targeting Black and Latino youth
Black and Latino youth in New York City feel most of the impact of this abusive law enforcement practice. Blacks and Latinos account for 86% of the marijuana arrests in New York City, and almost 70% of people arrested for marijuana are under 30 years old.[4] But government studies show that Blacks and Latinos use marijuana less than Whites -- 58.6% of Whites reported having used marijuana in their lifetime, versus 48.3% of Black people.[5]
This policy doesn't just affect people caught with small amounts of marijuana — it hurts entire communities. With police mostly targeting Black and Latino neighborhoods for random frisks and searches, harassment by police has become a daily reality for many young people of color in New York City.
Misplaced priorities
NYPD officers are under intense pressure to make as many arrests as possible,[6] and marijuana arrests can be a relatively easy way for them to meet quotas. That's part of why these arrest have become such a huge portion of what NYPD officers do — arrests for small amounts of marijuana are now the number one arrest in New York City, one out of every seven arrests.[7] Under Mayor Bloomberg, New York City's police have arrested more people for marijuana than they did under Mayors Koch, Dinkins, and Giuliani combined.[8]
That's a huge amount of time and energy that police could spend focusing on more serious crimes. And these arrests are hugely expensive — they cost the city roughly $75 million a year.[9] That money could go a long way in many other areas, at a time when a tight city budget is causing cuts to schools and all kinds of important services and programs.
Momentum for change
This misguided policy has come under major scrutiny, and Mayor Bloomberg's administration is under increasing pressure to change it. A series of reports from Drug Policy Alliance have documented the problems with this policy and drawn media attention to the issue, forcing a rare public response from the police department. Meanwhile, city council members have joined everyday people in protesting the policy. And momentum is building in Albany behind a bill that would close the loophole which police are abusing to make these arrests.
By demanding action from Mayor Bloomberg, we can keep the media focused on the issue and increase the pressure on the Mayor to make a change. At the same time, it will let lawmakers in Albany know that the public cares about this issue and wants them to act.
Now is the time to demand change. Please join me in calling on Mayor Bloomberg to end the NYPD's marijuana arrests crusade:
Thanks.

PRESENT---Growing Up Daddy by Kraal KAYO Charles
If you were to put all that fatherhood encompasses in one word, what would that word be?
Love. Responsibility. Tolerance. Provider. Protector. Parent. These were some responses I received after posing this question to a group of friends. Although these were worthy answers, they just didn’t’ speak to me.
Then it came to me!
PRESENT.
The word is PRESENT. PRESENT to read her stories at night. PRESENT to help her with her homework or to color with her. PRESENT to constantly watch episodes of Wow Wow Wubbzy on demand over and over and over again, when you would rather be watching Law & Order. PRESENT financially, PRESENT emotionally, PRESENT in mind and body. Like a high school student raising his hand at the beginning of homeroom I have to be PRESENT. As an entrepreneur and traveling performer, fulfilling the promise of being PRESENT is something I struggle to accomplish every day.
Growing Up Daddy was written to continue the conversation of fatherhood in our communities- in America and to stress its importance.
But I know I cannot do it by myself. I need your help. Please support Growing Up Daddy and spread the word that this play exists. This is a call to action for fathers. This is not just a play for me, this is a movement.
Be PRESENT with me, join the movement.

First Mother's Day w\o my mother by Nikki Beauchamp
Today is my first Mother's Day without my Mother. It is strange and confusing. It has reminded me of the hole that I have in my heart for her. I find that I evaluate all mother daughter relationships around me intently. I am constantly thinking what would my mom do, what would I do. I try not to personalize the ignorance of the people around me regarding this precious relationship with full acknowledgement that I too was this ignorant person.
The love of a Mother.... There is no other....
I feel like the pain of loss I feel inside is trapped in this eternal maze... and I am constantly searching for a point of releif without success. I wonder, often, if that day will ever come.
My own mind betrays me continuously, in the calls I attempt to make to her cell phone, the stops i want to make at her job, the bags and gadgets that I want to buy her thinking "she'll love this", the concerts that I want to email her about, and the random I love you's just to let her know I am there. Quickly, I remember "Oh she's not here".
So I guess if there is one thing I would like to share,,,, no matter how far or how annoying you think your mother is.... reflect on the fact that one day she may not be there for you to complain about. Cherish those 5 min phone calls out of your day, the holidays filled with memories that you carry with you, the random gift to let her know "I thought of you when I saw this", and the hugs and kisses that from the day you were born till the day you die, there will never be another like it.
On this day of honoring and celebrating the woman that has birthed you, nurtured you, raised you up, and molded you to the person you are today, let your Mother's know how much you love and appreciate them in my name.
Be Aware!

We should all know that December 10th is National AIDS Awareness Day.
But did you know....
National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, February 7th of every year, is a national HIV testing and treatment community mobilization initiative targeted at Blacks in the United States and the Diaspora. There are four specific focal points: education, testing, involvement, and treatment. Educationally, the focus is to get Blacks educated about the basics of HIV/AIDS in their local communities. Testing is at the core of this initiative, as it is hoped that Blacks will mark February 7th of every year as their annual or bi-annual day to get tested for HIV. This is vital for those who are sexually active and those at high risk of contracting HIV. When it comes to community and organization leadership, getting Blacks involved to serve is another key focus. We need Black People from all walks of life, economic classes, literacy levels, shades and tones as well as communities (large and small) to get connected to the work happening on the ground in their local areas. And lastly, for those living with HIV or newly testing positive for the virus, getting them connected to treatment and care services becomes paramount.
National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day was founded by five national organizations funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1999 to provide capacity building assistance to Black communities and organizations. The founding five organizations are: Concerned Black Men, Inc. of Philadelphia; Health Watch Information and Promotion Services, Inc.; Jackson State University - Mississippi Urban Research Center; National Black Alcoholism and Addictions Council; and National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS.
Healthy Black Communities (HBC) serves as the lead organization for coordinating communication via email, and regular mail; HBC develops the imagery of the initiative annually; designs and maintains the website; and ensures that orders and registrations are received and processed accordingly. HBC has been in this role for more than six years.
Never be ashamed of who you are.
Be Informed. Be Safe. Live Happy.
Peace and Blessings Always.

This initiative has had an array of national spokespersons: congressional leaders, faith based leaders, entertainers, actors, actresses, authors, radio personalities, and the list goes on and on. Some of the most notable spokespersons have been: President Barack Obama during his term in the Illinois Senate, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Bishop TD Jakes, Radio Personality Tom Joyner, former NAACP President and CEO Kwesi Mfume, Congressman Elijah Cummings, Actor/Author Harper Hill, Screenwriter Patrik Ian Polk, and the list goes on.

It IS Easy Being Green! Really Easy
I came across this video at GreenTeam its amazing and so simple. Light your house with water-filled plastic bottles. Sounds weird but Alfredo Moser's discovery can generate the same amount of light as a 50-watt bulb. During a 2002 blackout in Brazil he reportedly made the discovery.
Check this video out, in addition to the light source it's also keeping plastic out of landfills. Dope!
Tell me what you think!

It's been a while...too long. BUT I'M BACK!
So the other day.... I was at my homegirl's son's birthday party. I saw an old mutual male friend that I hadn't seen since last year.
We exchange friendly hellos, hugs and kisses...catchin up on things, ya know.
So then...he gets quiet and simply stares at me, shakes his head slowly, with a somewhat disappointed look upon his face.
I ask..homeboy, what's good? What's up? Why you shakin your head?
He replies, "what's up ma" as he motioned toward my hair.
I was like, "what you mean...what's up...what's the problem?"
He answers, "You're such a beautiful woman...what's the point of this?"
This brother was actually referring to my crown (hair).
I had to take a minute to digest exactly what was going down.... the fact that my friend was really pondering hard, and looking at me in such a way as if I had three green heads.
I laughed, in spite of my own silly thoughts on this knucklehead.
So I answered back, "What's the point??" "The point is... I'm loving ME, every bit of ME".
He looked at me with a slight strangeness... and I answered again.
"I'M LOVING & EMBRACING EVERY BIT OF ME"
And you know I had to accompany my statement with a sista-girl neck bob and finger snap!
Oh yes I did!
He chuckled. But I was very serious. And he knew this.
So I asked him, "do you feel the same way when your mama walks around with her naturalness??" "do you feel that way when your son rocks his fro??" "when YOU had hair, did you not like your do??"
Again, he chuckled. "nah Jas...I'm just saying"
I was like, "nah brother...what exactly are you just saying??"
"Have you forgotten what it's like to be with a Black woman?"
No answer.
Maybe that's because his fiancee is a white woman. I don't know, just a hunch. I didn't go there.
For too many years, women in the Afrikan (american) community have traded their natural locks for more processed styles because it's more socially "acceptable".
"Oooh girl you can't get a job with your hair like that!" "Oh no, I have to get this stuff done honey..." "I can't go out with my hair looking like this" "Aint nothin cute about this nappiness"
These are just a few of many statements I have heard throughout the years from sisters, including my own mother (she means well).
In my opinion, sisters have been brain-washed to think they are less beautiful if they rock fros, or braids, or even locks.
It has been almost two years since I have put any chemicals in my hair, and I embrace my natural crown fully and happily. I have never felt more freer!
No disrespect to my sisters rockin the weaves and braving the scabs of potential burns to get that hair "silky, Indian" straight. Been there, done that.
Grandma always said, "your hair is your glory".
All I'm saying is.... LOVE & EMBRACE EVERY BIT OF YOU!
Queens.... recognize that weaves and perms DO NOT enhance who and what YOU already are... BEAUTIFUL!
Kings...if you have a sister that wants to flaunt her natural crown, don't discourage.
Embrace her...Love her...
SHE is Your very backbone.
Study your history. You will be amazed at the natural beauty of us ALL.
