Mother's Day at Awakenings - Part #2

Good Evening and here's part #2 of the Awakenings Mother's Day Movement. Kamal Smith, is on stage acting like he's Lite Shineth. Heh, heh. . . "LET THE LIGHT SHINETH UPON YOU, KAMAL !!!" That was catchy though. In any case, normally you would see Diallo preaching but had some car issues, so a man that Diallo met named Daniel Davenport entered Awakenings and preached about his success and what path that success drove him. It was a terrible shame to see his eldest son's life taken by his own hand. I feel nothing but rage and anger to see those who are being bullied which would lead to a path of suicide. I too thought about suicide, for no apparent reason, but the Will to Live is much stronger than suicide. And if I were to face suicide, then it I would face nothing more than fiery damnation in the pits of hell ! And I don't want that to happen. So from here on out, i'm going to live to see tomorrow and i'll keep having the will to live with me. But a shout out to those to who are being bullied, suicide is not the way to go. And if you wish for more info on how to put a stop to bullying, visit a website or call a hotline should you need assistance. Anywho, it was a pleasure listening to Mr. Davenport's sermon. I want to hear more from him one day. The Series is about being strange, and I agree with him, were all not normal. We don't want to be too successful in life, but significant. In the meantime, took some photos of people socializing and Chellie "Caribbean Nut" Marie texting. I should get her to model for me one day. Heh, heh. . . I hope you enjoyed this post, cause you know I'am. For more info on the Series for Awakenings Movement, visit the website at: www.AwakenDetroit.com More post coming soon, so enjoy the weekend if you will.

Mother's Day at Awakenings Movement

Sorry to keep you awaiting, Mother's Day at Awakenings Movement a couple of weeks ago was decent, but awesome indeed. Things went off as usual with the Choir helping the crowd getting their praise and church on. Them the announcements by Quentin or the other twin brother, I don't know. And folks getting up, hugging, embracing and telling each other I love you and there's nothing you can do about it ! Heh, heh. . . That Mrs. Lynda is something, isn't she ?

This past week, Awakenings Movement has done another Baptism, the last time it was 4, but now it's 5 and the video tells the story about those who want to give themselves to the lord. The 1st one up was Shelly (Carribean Nut) whom was very excited about giving herself to the lord ! Halleulah !! The next one or ones were a family. I can't remember their names, but it was blessing for them to give to give themselves to our lord savior, i'm truly happy for them. I'm so Happy to be apart of this.

Awakenings Movement - Baptism

Two Weeks ago, Awakenings Movement had a baptism, this was a first for me to ever witness Diallo perform one. Although it was mean those who wish to make a change in their lives, make a difference and i'm very happy and blessed to be one of those people. First off was my good buddy, Wadsworth who was in a video which was created by Fyl Frazze, written by Diallo Smith. He was a brunch conversation with another good friend of mine, Dan. Dan had asked a question: Do you want to give yourself to the lord ? When I heard that question he asked Wadsworth, I wondered the same thing. And Wadsworth did just that by baptism in name of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit. Then, Derek was the next to go up, his wife shed tears of joy when volunteered, that's was when it occured to me, let's this be the 2nd time. And I was the 3rd one going up, not any of you know this, but this was my second time giving myself to the big man upstairs and finally, there was William Smith who had volunteered to give himself to the lord, his daughter was so happy. Now, it's never too late to make that change in life. It really isn't. . . It's also never too late to see what Awakenings is all about. This is only a suggestions, head on out to the Detroit School of Arts on 123 & Seldon in Detroit and take a good luck. God Bless you.

Awakenings Movement Favorite

     Here's another favorite photo I took at Awakenings Movements. Although I did another one like this, but asked Danielle to sit on the rear of the windows and look outside to even it up, but for this one, the subject was unaware that I was getting a photograph of him which is one of my best photos along with the woman praying on stage at Kuumba's Cove on the first post of this blog. If you wish to come out to the Big-D (Downtown Detroit) to see what Awakenings Movement is all about, head on down to the Detroit School of Arts on 123 Seldon in Detroit, Michigan so you can get your church on and there you'll meet Diallo Smith, who is the Architect, brains behind the Awakenings Movement, also you meet up with Jameel Smith, who is the brains behind Kid Motion. If you feel that you are in need of refreshment, head down to Kuumba's Cafe where Daune Smith can hook you up.  I thank Rogue Bard Media for Watermarking with their logo.

Awakenings Movement Celebration (Part #2)

   Here it is, Part #2 of the Awakenings Movement Celebration that took place inside of the Detroit School of Arts on Christmas Eve (December 24th), these photos begins with the ever so lovely Fara Moan whom told us a story about her past Christmas when she was in her childhood all the way to her adulthood. She is a very interesting poet, and I hope to see more of her for future poetry venues at either 1917 American Bistro, Manilla Bay Cafe, Nandi's Knowledge or the Liv Restro in the metro Detroit area. Next we have Diallo who is getting his preach on. (I never knew he & Kamal were brothers). Looking forward to the new series for Awakenings. 3rd is from Kid Motion which is created by Diallo's lovely wife, Ms. Jameel Smith, who enjoys telling the youth about how the lord has done for us and how we praise him. If you have a son, daughter, grandson, grand-daughter, great-grandson, great grand-daughter,niece or nephew, I suggest you bring on down to Kid Motion, meet up with Jameel and she'll take from there and finally we have the Awakenings band closing with some chruch going music to dance to. There you have it, more photos will be coming soon, so for right now, enjoy and remember, will be returning to Awakenings on January 8th, 2012 at the Detroit School of Arts on 123 & Seldon in Downtown Detroit, MI 48021 and if you're not there, tough luck, bring 2 or 3 more people like Diallo says and for more information about this movement, visit the website at: http://www.awakendetroit.com/.

Awakenings Movement Celebration (Part #1)

I'm back my friends & back with more photos, this past Saturday on December 24th (Christmas Eve), the Awakenings Movement Celebration was jam packed. I didn't know it was going to be this packed, but then again it Awakenings, you'll never know who might or might not show, however the pictures tell the story. It starts off with Choir (Kamal Smith, Jamie Mitchell & the 3rd choir member, I need to get her name.) as the audience was getting there church on followed by the announcements made by my good buddy, Dan, who usually subs for Diallo when he's not around, he does a pretty good job preaching, other than that the Movement got the hugging and loving and there was nothing they could do about it. Heh, heh. . . I like that line. But this was the last Awakenings Movement of the year, we hope you come on January the 8th in the year of 2012, bring 2 or 3 more people with you, there you can meet Diallo, Jameel, Dan, Daune & many more coming up on the 8th.

Bike-A-Thon (Part #1)

    What's up, Metro Detroiters and Merry Christmas on this Holiday Weekend and yes tomorrow is Christmas and to tell you the truth it's feels like it's practicly here. Remember the One Night Open Mic Night at Kuumba's Cove ? Well, the open mic night was actually a fundraiser to help purchase bikes to give away to the youngsters as a Christmas gift to show our support for the youth and our way of giving back to the community. This is Part #2 of the Fundraiser which is a Bike-A-Thon orcastrated by my good friend, Diallo Smith who is not only the creator of Kuumba's Cove, but the Minister and Architect for Awakenings Movement. Also, my other good friends, Kamal Smith, Keiona Evans, Damian Gabriel and others was on hand as the goal was to ride from the cove all the way to Belle Isle to the front of Cobo Hall and back to the cove. I had to take these from inside Fyl Frazze's Van and outside the freezing cold. Damn, should've brought an extra jacket when I had the chance. Oh well, for more on these photos, you can check them out, that is if on there. the website is http://www.awakendetroit.com/ - the official Awakenings Movement website where you have any questions, ask Diallo or look for Awakenings on http://FaceBook.com/AwakenDetroit or Tweet at http://www.Twitter.com/AwakenDetroit. In the meantime, enjoy these photos and Part #2 of this post coming soon. Should you have any Questions, comments and concerns, you know what to do and i'll reply back to you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, my friends.
