&#8220;Precious Lord, Take My Hand&#8221; &#8211; I learned a great deal from James Baldwin and haven&#8217;t written as much as I had planned.  But I read and read.  On my bedside table I have copies of Notes of a Native Son and The Fire Next Time.  I randomly opened the latter with [...]]]></description>

A short clip from &#8220;Take This Hammer&#8221; in which Baldwin throws the &#8220;nigger&#8221; back at whiteness who invented him in the first place.  Very pertinent in these moments of escalating right wing anti-Muslim hatred &#8211; a hatred invented to fill a void of hate that must always be full.  Without hate there is [...]]]></description>

Last week I went to Key West &#8211; the southern most tip of the US and part of the Florida Keys.   The Keys are a series of small islands joined together by bridges and causeways.   I had heard nothing but good things about them especially Key West which was home to Tenneesee Williams [...]]]></description>

Mark watched Patrick as he entered the  showers and wondered how it would feel to have Patrick&#8217;s arm around his  waist and the ripple of his thighs against his buttocks.
For two weeks now that was all he  could think about every time they took the long walk from Manning Cup  football [...]]]></description>

After spending the past few weeks reading and listening to snippets of James Baldwin I have come to the conclusion that much of his writing was concerned with the search for himself and his people.   By trying to understand himself, who he is he would be able to understand the core of America [...]]]></description>

Keguro Macharia provides an historical overview of LGBTI activism in Kenya which he states has taken place through &#8220;a strategy of association rather than an articulation of identity&#8221; specifically through health work and activism around HIV/AIDs.  However as he points out this strategy has it&#8217;s problems&#8230;

The meeting of African Bishops in Entebbe, Uganda has not surprisingly, been used to reaffirm the church&#8217;s homophobic stance.   The bishops spoke about  &#8220;African Values&#8221; and &#8220;alien beliefs&#8221;.  Since the rights of LGBTI people are being denied this   implies that the notion of &#8216;human rights&#8217; is not part of [...]]]></description>

I first heard Charissa Granger on a short video someone had posted on FaceBook. She was playing a soft haunting melody called Raindrops which was made even more interesting because she was playing the tune on the steel pan. The steel pan is an instrument we associate with the Caribbean and the sounds of Calypso [...]]]></description>
