That High Priestess Nina Simone: Blackness Embodied




i watch this...and first i see her mouth, and her eyes, and her teeth and the way she talks and wonders if that movie being made honors and upholds her enough to emulate that...

then i see and hear her words and i begin to listen...and imbibe who this High Priestess really was...

and then i hear, "this compels me to compel them" and that mulls and turns in my mind a few times then i wake up from the revelry internal that just was and become aware of my chills. and when i become aware of the chills, then tears fill...and then i start to write and share to tell you about this wombmyn that passed before us that is now being denigrated in a film by the choice, easy approaches and wrong actress chosen to indicate, reflect and compel that BLACKNESS this wombmyn was about???!!!

deep
makes me wonder what i can do to take up the mantle.
made me wonder between the chills and the tears my own work to compel but not just about a Blackness but of a Wholeness, an Integration and Cosmic Connectedness that once accomplished..makes all else aspects of authenticity, fulfilled.

wow. talk about someone who was worthy of worship and honor...smh
too much
