This is a contemporary revival of the play that started Black Spectrum Theatre in 1970 . Filled with twist and turns, and a wonderful musical score, Black Love explores love relationships, community politics, fatherhood, education, homelessness and gun violence, all from the perspective of some unforgettable characters who enter an old elevator run by an elevator operator who wants to keep our community together.

"GIRL, DON'T PLAY! PRAY" — AUTHOR INA JOHNSON MYERS RELEASES BOOK THAT HELPS WOMEN RECOGNIZE TOXIC RELATIONSHIP RED FLAGS

Ina Johnson Myers, a speaker and certified life coach who is also the author of Girl, Don't Play!!! Pray!!!! She is a 24-year retired Combat Veteran with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and a survivor of MST (Military Sexual Trauma). She is also the mother of 3 and grandmother of 6, and was raised in Gary Indiana by a father and mother duo of WWII veterans who also served our country in the 1940s.

Her book, Girl, Don't Play!!! Pray!!!!, was written to help mitigate some of the confusion, anxiety, and pain professional women endure who may be seeking to be in a lasting relationship or marriage.

She comments, "By sharing my own experiences and research throughout my life, I hope to equip them with the tools and knowledge to make wiser decisions on matters that will devastatingly affect their spiritual, personal, and family life, their career, their moral compass, as well as their finances. In sharing my experiences with toxic relationships and the pains of depression, suicidal thoughts, devaluation, and humiliation endured as the result, I hoped to help other professional women be cognizant of who they allow to sit at their table and not ignore the red flags they see and hear in their search for that perfect partner."

LOREY HAYES, ORIGINAL CAST MEMBER OF NTOZAKE SHANGE’S ICONIC, HISTORY CHANGING PLAY, “FOR COLORED GIRLS”, PENS EXPLOSIVE BOOK OF CHOREOPOEMS: SONG OF SILENCE, POEMS FOR THE SOUL

Multi-Award-Winning Playwright, Actress, Director, Producer, Lorey Hayes has dared to share her auspicious insights and expose the raw edges of her emotions on Race, Love, Family in her first published book: Song of Silence, Poems for the Soul.  Available for purchase on Lorey’s Website: Click Here

 

In this brave journey of poetic offerings, lovingly called Choreopoems (the word coined by the late writer Ntozake Shange when her play For Colored Girls made Broadway History) Hayes exposes the hypocrisy of a nation riddled with shame for its ungodly acts against the humanity of the African American race; while at the same time, praising and uplifting the brave souls of people of color, who continue to strive to overcome stigmas, abuses and generational curses that sought to bind them.  Hayes shares the joys and jubilations that have kept her people (people of color – Hayes is African-American and Cherokee) afloat and allowed them to carve a revered place in the annals of history.

Song of Silence (namesake of the book) is a “call to arms” against homelessness and hunger in this American “Land of Plenty”; as it challenges readers to “pay attention” and speak out about this devastating and debilitating escalating crises. 

From The Devil, where a five year old girl looses her innocence while the adults who promised to protect her, cluelessly engage in conversation; Racists are not Born, they’re Bred, where a young white boy learns racism from his father; to her signature pieces We Black Women Spirit, Warriors an uplifting, inspiring praise song for Women of Color; Ode to the Black Man, that celebrates African American Men and Women’s connection from the beginning of time and GRANDMA JANIE,  a salute to and in honor of Grandmothers.

I wish I had time to tell you about all who have passed away during this time of a worldwide pandemic called Covid-19, An Airborne Illness Possibility, Aerodynamically Fashioned "With Persistent Mutative" Transmittable Omnipresence (AAIPADFWPMTOP). This highly mutative contagious sickening and deadly illness is traveling at Earth's speed of 67, 000 miles per hour, or 1.6 million miles a day around the sun, or 19 miles a minute, some 86, 400 seconds per day: 0.0041666 degrees per second (Quora, DuckDuckGo, Space. Com). 

Every day the Earth Spins, and Covid-19 also travels at 1000 miles an hour, or 460 meters per second on its axis, about 5 U.S.A. football fields (Scientific America).

For those of you who are living today, lets read and read more. These earthly legendary seniors and elders are as follows:
