Cedric "The Entertainer" and Friends New Year's Weekend Comedy Jam featuring J.J. Williamson and Malik S. was a sell out and off the chain.

Brotha Ash is PROUD and GRATEFUL to announce "THE RETURN OF ASANTE'". Asante' is a very well-known bartender, who works at the Shadow Lounge in East Liberty. About three weeks ago he suffered a brain aneurysm and as God would have it, he is doing great and expected to make a full recovery and return back to work at the Shadow Lounge. Justin Strong, owner of the Shadow Lounge, held a fundraiser in Asantes' honor to help with medical bills and it was a major success. Everyone came out to give their donations, love and support for Asante'. What we didn't expect was for Asante' himself to come walking through the door to join the party. It was the best Christmas gift any of us could expect. Of course Brotha Ash Productions was there to cover the whole event which included a special performance by the Hip-hop group Sol Sis and they were great.

By Ashley G. Woodson for the New Pittsburgh Courier

Sure! learned that he had the Quincy Jones bug, which is a calling to all aspects of music—performing, composing and producing. “I started out doing my thing on the music side, but as a professional I also produced my music and other artists. My camp at that time consisted of K-Ci, DeVante and JoJo of Jodeci, Faith Evans, Dave Hollister, Case and others.

Central Blood Bank, a business unit of The Institute for Transfusion Medicinesm, and the August Wilson Center for African American Culture have partnered to address the lack of blood donation in the African American community, especially among those 17 - 35 years of age. To address this issue, the two organizations have partnered to create a multimedia campaign, which was launched at an event on Saturday, Oct. 2, 2010, at the August Wilson Center, 980 Liberty Avenue, immediately following Pittsburgh’s African American Heritage Day Parade, the route of which ended at the Center. The event featured a youth-produced public service announcement video premiere, a mixed media visual art exhibition, a mini-documentary premiere, and a special performance by national recording artist “Fantasia.” The free concert was phenomenal and she sang all of her hits including a song made specifically for her Pittsburgh fans. Later that evening at Club Mosiac, she did a brief performance for her fans and danced in the crowd. Fantasia also joked with me and said that I better put her photo on my Brotha Ash Productions flyers and postcards along side the other celebrities or else. She will definitely be added without a doubt. Fantasia will be checking out Brotha Ash Productions for the exclusive story and photos and you should do the same. I have to shoutout Emmai Alaquiva of YaMomzHouse and Orlana Darkins of The Darkins Group for showing me such a great time. EXCLUSIVE BAP PHOTOS AND STORY COMING SOON!!!!

A REQUEST FROM BROTHA ASH
CAN WE ALL JUST GET ALONG IN 2012?

I usually don't get caught up in New Year's resolutions, but I do want to share what my goal is for 2012. I would like for us as a black race to come together to be strong, black and proud of who we are. That is only possible if we come together. Is it possible for us as a black race to pull together, bury the past, work together, and just get along - YES IT IS!!! If we come together and stop hatin on each other, stopkilling each other, stop talking about each other (well, that may be asking for too much), and most important stop being "CRABS IN A BARREL", we can achieve anything as long as we do it TOGETHER. Brotha Ash Productions is taking a stand and putting it out there for all of our beautiful black people to make the effort in 2012 to make this happen. We will continue to do our part by sharing our rich heritage and being there for the African American community to the fullest, but we are reaching out to you, (the community and other black organizations) to let you know that we want and need your help. It is possible and it is a reality. We are stronger together than apart.

If you have any ideas on our we can make this happen, please send it to BlackUnity@BrothaAshProductions.com because we want to make a difference in our communities. We will post your comments for everyone to see. For those of you who are caught up in haters being against you, remember what God has for you, no MAN or WOMAN can take from you. Help us bring our race BLACK TOGETHER one person at a time.


DO YOU KNOW MAJOR TAYLOR?

In the late 1890's bicycle races drew crowds that filled Madison Square Garden; the biggest draw of all was Marshall W. "Major" Taylor. Having become the undisputed black champion of America. Taylor overcame racial segregation and intolerance to become to one-mile sprint world champion in 1898, and by the end of 1899 held seven world cycling records!

Why is this important? The University of Pittsburgh's Center for Minority health and Adventure Cycling Association share the goal of encouraging people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds, including African Americans, to explore the landscapes and history of America by bicycle. That is why these two organizations are committed to creating an Underground Railroad Bicycle Route. Throughout history black people have used bicycles as a mode of transportation. Both Major Taylor and the Underground Railroad represent the struggle to freedom from slavery and the challenge to elimate racial and ethnic health disparities. Visit the Center for Minority Health @ www.cmh.pitt.edu or call 412-624-5665.
