hip hop!

early ninties - golden era - undaground cali hip hop

soulful house music - yoruba afro beat - drums and vocals

old funk - soul -breaks - things that make b-boys and girls go nuts 

CHILDREN OF MEN ! (really it's about womyn) 

what the ..*!? do we know, life and debt, 4th world war, crash, at the river I stand, whale rider, what dreams may come, the matrix, rize, crouching tiger, lock stock and two smokin barrels, snatch, slam, goonies, things that make me cry, things that make you want to throw up a fist and take to the streets

to launch a holistic health network that speaks to the needs of womyn of color to liberate themselves, to be a contributor of healing to the movement. 

to contribute solutions to a sustainable future, the depth and seriousness of which is not realized, and our generation is not prepared for. and to help find out where the bees have gone.
