God Didn’t Forget About Me. You looking at THE INAUGURAL Assistant Professor of African Diasporic Theatre Practice & Performance at California State University-Sacramento housed in The College of Arts & Letters. & also Artistic Director of the institution’s historic BLACK Theatre organization Sons, Daughters, & Ancestors. If God can do it for ME, God will certainly do it for YOU! I’m a living witness.

Ancestor Martha Graham

“No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a q***r, divine dissastifaction; a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.”
-Martha Graham

Me and Mama at Cousin Ravis LaJune’s repast.

Had the glorious opportunity of fellowshipping with Queen Sonia Sanchez tonight. We discussed art, America and our beloved Ancestor Toni Morrison.

making black history
by marvin k. white

you, you inspire me to
stoplights
and hot combs
and railroad brakes
i think
you just might be the first black
in this american league
you are my invention
and i am putting a patent
on this thing we are doing
i am copyrighting these words
my tongue
pushes into your ear

i want to make some black history
with you
be your harriet tubman
and let you ride
my underground railroad to freedom
let you pass out in my arms exhausted
i want you to lose your scent in my rivers
want to be your safe house
want you to come and wait inside
till slave catchers lose all track of you
i wanna make some black history
with you
be the first man to reach your north pole
