- Greetings DeAllen. Reading your profile. Storyteller. I love it. Modern-day Griot. Dope! I don't know how feasible it is for you to get to see the show I am a part of, but if you want to see some next level storytelling... come through - make the trip! See info here: hurricaneseasontour.com. Two-womyn performance using poetry, shadow art, stick dancing, and video/sound collages. I am on the tour handling what we call solution-ciphers because so often we hear about the problems in a performance piece and not often enough... the solutions. If you want to read my personal take on the tour visit: dopeswan.org/sallomazing.
Keep telling our stories! It is the healing.

Good hearing from you. All is well here in NW Florida. Yes, I'm back on my grind. I did however, have a 2 year hiatus that was refreshing. It gave me the opportunity to reflect on the whole concept of retirement. It's a sucker play. In this life, one is either a hustler, or one gets hustled. In short, retirement is an invitation to rust out. I have chosen to stay on my hustle until I wear out...hustler for life yo.
