This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! We open with a rebraodcast of the interview with Nambi E. Kelley, playwright for adaptation of Toni Morrison's Jazz for stage at Marin Theatre Company earlier this year.  Regina Evans & Rashida Chase in 52 Letters at UBUNTU  Next is a rebroadcast with playwright, James Ijames, director, Darryl V.
