  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

A SHELTER IN THE TIME OF STORM

 Author Releases Documentary after 4  Years

 

Columbia, MD-April 5, 2008--

Well-known author, Brenda Farrar-Ejemai reveals, what was at first anonymously written, a documentary that records her experience in New York City over 17 years ago.  Faced with the unexpected trauma of homelessness, her struggle began. 

 

THE FAMILY IN THE CAR, A Revelation, which the author describes as "on-time", time-lines the journey of this struggle.  It shows how members of a family who were all their lives sheltered, as well as privileged, now were without.  "The trauma was so unbelievable, I felt that period in my life was a dream and not actually lived," Ejemai said.    Although it was written in 2004, the author felt led to release it in 2008 and reveal the true characters in the documentary.  It is impacted with trials, but ends with triumph.   This documentary will not only encourage, but will inspire those who are experiencing or have experienced this trauma. 

 

There are a number of middle class Americans living secretly homeless today.  

Brenda Farrar-Ejemai has taken a leap-of-faith in the writing of this documentary.  With the rise in foreclosures in the United States today, this documentary is not only timely, but relevant.  The face of the homeless is changing rapidly.  No longer can the homeless be viewed only as the poor, criminals or mentally ill.  Homelessness is involving the middle class as well.

 

"This is a story that all Americans should read and see. 

...informational, educational and compelling."
