This Sunday, July 27, 2008 is my birthday and everyone is asking if I'm having a party. No, I'm not. However, I will be at the St. Clair Village reunion and at the Black Beauty Lounge in the Hill District celebrating with Birthday Girl "Peenie". I thank God for another year and I hope to have many more. Of course, I'll be taking all of the hot photos to mark the occasion and I would love for you to be a part of it. The Black Beauty Lounge is located at 2037 Centre Avenue in the Hill District from 4pm - 9pm and the St. Clair Village Reunion is at Schenley Park at the Vietnam Veteran's grove from 12pm - 8pm.

Ghetto Hot Sauce was a way for me to illuminate the often hidden struggles and drama experienced daily by males living in the ghetto. That ghetto can be represented by many places and many faces, including the streets and penitentiaries that that have enslaved too many of us. These poems were not written to glorify violence or bad choices. They were written to give voice to those who are unseen or unheard, either in the struggle or on their way there. If anything within these poems seems to relate to a specific person or persons, I assure you it is purely coincidental. As you know, we have all heard that art imitates life and that life imitates art. I write with a heart of passion and the pen is my shooter. I'm shooting to give understanding to those who are unaware of the pain, as well as those who are struggling to find a way out. To all the politicians and preachers who have already tried to judge me, I believe there is only one Judge and it is HE alone who shall render the ultimate judgement. And it is HE who has blessed me with the gift of poetry. CHECK

REQUEST FROM BROTHA
ASH
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.
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.

BROTHA
ASH PRODUCTIONS INTRODUCES A NEW
AUTHOR AND POET "VALDEZ THOMPSON"
GRACE
DIXON-KIZZIE,
my sister is the person who wrote our Brotha Ash Productions MISSION
STATEMENT (word for word)
back in 2001 when our company was founded. We want everyone to
know who the creator of our MISSION STATEMENT. If you haven't
read it yet, please take a look over to the right and check it
out. 
Calling
all Mini-Globe Basketball handlers, Mini-Globe Steppers, and Mini-Globette
Cheerleaders!!! In 2001 we celebrated the legacy of our founder
Mrs. Mary "Love" Harvey and now we want to continue
the tradition by meeting annually. We need your help in locating
folks from the 70's, 80's and 90's to make this one of the greatest
reunions ever. We would like for the event to take place every
July and if possible have performers too. I know you're out
there, so hit us up at 
10
minutes? 30 minutes? an hour or two? The use of a simple broom would
do!
I
usually don't get caught up in New Year's resolutions, but I do
want to share what my goal is for 2008. 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, stop killing
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 2008 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. 
DO
YOU KNOW MAJOR TAYLOR?
