100 Thousand Poets/Musicians for Change - Los Angeles (2012)


The above is a picture of Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles, representing the paths of the Poets and Musicians for Change - Los Angeles!

With over 100 Poets representing the voices of Los Angeles, 100 Thousand Poets for  Change/Musicians for Change, settles in the iconic and historic Literary Arts Center, Beyond Baroque in Venice, California.

Our mic is no stranger to the struggle for representation of the “unseen and unheard”. We’re proud to be a part of worldwide history, as we unite and stand up for CHANGE!

Los Angeles will feature an Open Mic for Change, and include many talented Poets from each end of the political and social spectrum with the profound voices of Susan Hayden, Gia Scott Heron, Billy Burgos, to the performances of Lee Boek, Rich Ferguson, and James Berkowitz, plus voices from the Revolutionary Poets Brigade led by Mark Lipman, and Spanish poets “Poesia” led by Antonieta Villamil, and the musical thunder of the Rooftop Revolutionaries! We are one – we seek nothing but to share what we see – and urge the world to CHANGE!

One Month Away!

In one month, I get to marry the most loving person I've ever met in my lifetime! Juan Adrian Cardenas, thank you for loving me.   Te amo! I have been in bliss ever since I've met him...and I can't believe how well I could ever get along with another human being. This is a wonderful gift, and I hope all of humanity gets the opportunity to experience this. Dreams come true. You must NEVER give up on yourself. You must also believe that you are WORTH every bit of happiness. You must cherish YOURSELF first before you find true love... True Love Never Diez... :) Love for yourself is really the primary thing...do what you love, be who you want to be... and your energy will exude into the ether...sending out pheromones, this is the attraction. Be yourself... you ARE the attraction. It's so possible, just never give up...that is my advice. Not sure if anyone asked, but I had to write this down. This is the path I've taken, which has led me to Juan. Led ...

To my brother:

To my brother: you are my unconditional love. never was there any more, never shall there be any less. <3 you showed me that it was possible to be happy with myself, even when I refused to see past the haze of insecurity. i am sitting here, wanting to share words with you. all i can think of is a silent prayer to you for hopes that the words would finally come. i love you, anthony. always.
