“Your Lips” by Olu Dara
I am the Wild Gypsy Woman and the Moonshine Mama: unpredictable, untamed, uninhibited, natural, magical and free...
And I will lay you out if you test the limits.
–Sydney Rebecca
The essential parts of me: a constant yearn for learning people and things, observing, listening actively and often unexpectedly, a fantastic and roaming imagination, love of literature in all forms, love of people, storytelling, poetry, music, new perspectives, talking talking talking, reading always, remembering the commonly forgotten and minute details, helping others always, believing in those who don't necessarily believe in themselves, spontaneity, kindness, surprise-full, big smiles, LOVE, research, forever the editor, worker and playmate...
"Silence is only silver; good conversation is golden." –Sydney Rebecca

The Brooklyn Portrait Gallery: An Exhibition of 100 Artists →
If you’re a Brooklyn lover, an arts lover, an artist or just someone who supports amazingness and haven’t taken the time to support this campaign, please do so now. Every little bit helps, but The Brooklyn Portrait Gallery needs money and word spreading to make the $25k goal. Empty those pockets and get the word out!
I just need everyone to stop what they’re doing, RIGHT NOW, and look at this.
Please and thank you.

It’s nearly 2AM and I’m having a lovely middle-of-the-night Willie Bobo dance party… I make great decisions.
“You Got to Have Freedom” by Pharoah Sanders
“Build An Ark” by Build An Ark
Sail away…
I love the Friday sounds of Harlem in the Spring… Every apartment’s windows, in all the nearby buildings, are open and there are about 15 types of music/giggles/movies being blasted out of each one. Sounds like home.

“Flowers” by Andrew Ashong & Theo Parrish
I just caught myself singing “Let’s have a kiki” over this track and, I have to say… I’m brilliant.
That is all.

“La Divinité” by La Perfecta
“Would You Believe In Me” by Jon Lucien
“Celestial Blues” by Andy Bey
“We must get closer to the essence of life…”
“Daylight” by RAMP
“What’s Wrong With Groovin” by Letta Mbulu
I always forget how much I LOVE this song, and then my husband plays it in a set and I flip out and do strange, joyous interpretive dances for a week after hearing it…
There’s clearly nothing wrong with groovin’ in my mind…
