CELEBRATING WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH WITH YO-YO
Happy Women's History Month!
It’s exciting to be celebrating women during March! Women have made so many contributions and are continuing to make in the world, the country, and of course, our towns and cities of SOUL. Every day women begin their day taking care of some person, someplace, or something. Get up close and personal with one of the greatest female pioneers of Hip Hop, Yo-Yo!
Also, celebrate a few other dynamic women like Daisy Bates, a Civil Rights Hero. She was a complex, unconventional, and largely forgotten heroine of the civil rights movement who led the charge to desegregate the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., in 1957. Sister Rosetta Tharpe: The Godmother of Rock & Roll. She was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Her flamboyance, skill, and showmanship on the newly electrified guitar played a vital role in understanding Rock & Roll as a genre of music. One more, Misty Copeland was the first Black principal ballerina at the American Ballet Theatre. Stop what you’re doing right now and thank every woman you’re in the room with for being a woman making history.

HONORING THE LEGACY OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
Happy King Season!
Happy New Year, Happy Kwanzaa and King Season!
It is my favorite time of the year. Celebrating Kwanzaa feeds my spirit as the year’s final days remind me of the Nguzo Saba - the seven principles. It is a refreshing feeling of being closer to our Creator and a time of adjusting. We can reset our goals, create new ones and plan for the next 365 days to be better than the last. What’s so amazing about this time of the year is King season - the two weeks after New Year’s Day, planning to participate, host, attend community celebrations, and for many, continue to dream.
King season kicks off the 28 days of officially celebrating Black History Month, followed by Women’s History Month and National Poetry Month. King season has an overall feeling of positivity and prosperity. Remember, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of dedicating his life to the nonviolent struggle for civil rights in the United States. King’s leadership played a pivotal role in ending entrenched segregation for African Americans and to the creation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, considered a crowning achievement of the civil rights era.
No matter how you start your new year, remember we are all dreamers, just like King.
Happy New Year! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy King Season!
Thank you for having SOUL!

IT ALL BEGAN IN WEST AFRICA ON GOREE ISLAND

"In 2007, I made a promise to my ancestors while standing in Les Maison des Esclaves (the House of Slaves) on Goree Island; off the coast of Dakar, Senegal; West Africa.

I could feel the spirits of my ancestors hovering over me -- as I stood in the same place where they were kept against their will -- after being stolen from their native land.

The Sankofa Vow is The Promise made by Chillin'
As my eyes welled with tears, I whispered a promise. I promised them that I would discover a way to tell their stories to their great, great, great, great, great-grandchildren -- to educate them about their triumphs and their struggles.

The Soultown Digital & Print Magazine is the manifestations of the promise.
The Sankofa Vow is the last word in each issue of The Soultown Magazine. Without fear or favor,
I share the most intimate thoughts from the perspective of an African-American female,
who is also a descendant of a slave.
