It is colorful, compelling, has character. It will make you laugh and cry. It is soulful, sinful, sensational. It is profound and provocative. It is inspirational and insightful. It will make you recall, reflect, and reminisce familiar situations in your life She uses her poetry in workshops for women and children, on her personal line of greeting cards, and in her sermons. Her life is poetry in motion, the other side of prayer; for her it is getting outside of self and allowing God to speak; it is creative listening. Rev. Rick Malone, author of Violet of a Deeper Blue    Reminiscent of Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison's immortal classic, Violet of a Deeper Blue chronicles the journey of a young black man from innocence to maturity in an unwelcoming and often hostile white world. This journey takes him from the board rooms of corporate America to the crime-ridden streets of the inner city. Go with him as he transforms into a new man by reaching back to discover his heritage, a heritage that gives him the inner strength and courage to persevere. Dr. Georgia McDade, author of Outside the Cave   Georgia S. McDade reveals some of what she has learned during a lifetime in a number of roles: the daughter, the sister, the teacher, the traveler. These roles and others have led her to categorize her experiences as interrogations, exclamations, imperatives, and declarations. As someone who knows shortcuts can sometimes be useful, she shows and shares, always believing exposure to any and everything can be helpful because we can see what to do and/or what not to do.   < Back to Calendar Copyright © 2007-2010 Mount Zion Baptist Church, Seattle Washington Developed by
