Profile Information

About Me:
Tichaona
Bright, Assertive, Caring, Semi-Unreconstructed
The sister of Ifeoma
Lover of Sankara Kono, natural Afrakan aesthetics and free-forming
Who feels like a woman scorned (hell hath no fury) when it comes to colonialism, delight in being Earth born, and trepidation at thoughts of my son's future
Who needs water like its lifeblood, comradely behavior and reciprocity;
Who fears dying a stranger in a strange land, the death of revolutionary Afrakan culture and paper tigers who think they're the real thing
Who gives wholehearted affection to those I love, a damn and the barrel of my pen
Who would like to change the meek of the Earth into the conscious inheritors/caretakers of the Earth
Who hopes that what goes up must come down without destroying the ground I softly tread upon
Who lived a sad life until revolutionary winds blew my way

Holy is Her Water

Holy, like the air
she gave me to breathe
Is my love of her.
Blue hues of joy color my aura
When her accented voice utters praise.

I am coming forth by day.

Disruptions are not allowed as I build and rebuild.
Space is only opened by the carver
not me.

I script my story a lot more haltingly than I used to
And manage to somehow still be at peace.

Wanton Woman

They say ain’t no sunshine
between my legs
just a wet satanic pit.
The pains I took to inform them
my name isn’t Lilith,
first wife of Adam,
runaway bride,
semen stealer,
wife and mother of hundreds
of demons
dampened my ardor
and pushed them
out doors
where they discovered
a newfound proclivity
to call me bitch.

I reveled in my bed
and the passion it could produce
without affiliation
or affliction.
Like Sinead,
I was no man’s woman.
Like Renatta,
I fought for the sovereignty
of my space.

"Security AND Passion" A Response to My Sistah's Blog "Security Over Passion?"

PLEASE CHECK OUT QWEEN IYAPIPHANY'S BLOG SPOT @ http://blackloveadvocate.blogspot.com

My God Sis! You just crack my soul open and have me spilling all over...the way you hold the truth to light and blind me with the prismatic rays! I so love you. We are on a journey of simultaneously diverging and converging streams that flow from eternity into eternity and how in the world are we ever to have any lasting clarity in that? I don't know that God really wants that for us. I think it is a human mad… Continue

Iyapiphany

tell me why

for the first time, i am "doing" a love relationship the right way. no plans to marry. no living with me before i've decided whether or not having a job matters. no unnecessary explanations to my children because there are no pdas before them. no waking up and walking into mommy's room and wondering, "Who the hell is that?" Nope. This time, I decided to be smart. Have not even told my closest friends about this one. I'm watching, I'm waiting. For the first time, maybe I am actually making a man… Continue

http//:blackloveadvocate.blogspot.com

something new, the truth to all of this, revealed, open and unabashedly...visit, comment, and share experiences. I think I'll have a good mixture of hoodfolk, intellectuals, nationalists, poets...hopefully, some emcees, and the thing that will get me killed one day...young, good-looking men... we'll see what happens.

"...not dreaming something she was supposed to be dreaming."

"...not dreaming something she was supposed to be dreaming."

A sister friend of mine has this quote tagged to the bottom of her e-mails and it struck me like a brick! I learned it is from Toni Morrison's Tar Baby which I read so long ago, I think I was a teenager. I don't recall the context but I can't shake the notion as it fits me right now. Seems like it has always fit me. I feel like I am always on the brink of knowing something I should know but always stepping around, or over the knowledg… Continue
