Exploring Social Issues Through Literature

VOICES, VOICES, VOICES, VOICES, VOICES, VOICES, VOICES, VOICES


I have come to believe over and over again that what is most
important
to
me must be spoken, made verbal & shared, even at
the risk of
having it
bruised or misunderstood. That the speaking
profits me. . . . My
silences had
not protected me. Your silence will
not protect you.
What are the words you do not yet
have? What do you need to say?
I am myself — a Black woman warrior poet doing my
work — come
to ask you, are you doing yours?

Vitamin D Deficiency Study

Pregnant Dark-Skinned Women in the Netherlands
Exhibit a Predominance of Vitamin D Deficiency
As New Yorkers express both anger and satisfaction about the media-defined, financial serial killer and social pariah, Bernard Madoff’s multibillion dollar Ponzi scheme; there are a disproportionate number of women and children at risk and suffering in northern countries such as Hague, a metropolis located in the Netherlands. Being poor and uneducated has always been a detriment to the health of the disenfranchised, many of whom, reside in ghettos with a plethora of health and safety hazards.
Staggering numbers of dark-skinned women living in the Netherlands showed a predominance of vitamin D deficiency which is common in persons living in northern countries. Consequently, this particular vitamin deficiency will almost certainly have devastating health affects on both the unborn child and the mother carrying it.
Scientists were able to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women of a host of ethnic backgrounds in The Hague.

I am a forty-six year-old African-American writer passionate about exploring social issues through literature. It is through literature that I have experienced the pains, learned of the traditions and come to respect the rituals of many cultures different from my own. These valued moments of elucidation have increased my desire to be in service of those who may benefit from my efforts. This, my friends, is a step closer to bliss
