Our Stories Are Our Power

Week 2 of "My Tribute To Black History Giants" series is live! This week, I have driven into the world of the Truth-Tellers. I'm talking about the giants like James Baldwin and Ida B. Wells - those that used the pen to shift the world's conscience and give us the vocabulary for our own resilience. Check out my new blog post at chrisokeynnokwam.com and let me know: What book or essay changed your life? #BHM2026 #TruthTellers #BlackLiterature…

Plausible Comfort 10/10
✍️ Writing this is my way of reclaiming the truth.
Of refusing silence.
Of saying: This happened.
If you've ever been erased like this—you are not alone.
We see you.

Maybe I read #Orwell's 1984 too many times, but doesn't it seem like handing down harsh prison sentences to #JustStopOil activates for just THINKING about a possible #DirectAction constitute #ThoughtCrime?!!

I've got a suggestion for this week's #FridayNightJukebox (or #JukeboxFridayNight as the case may be). Last week's #TruthTellers theme brought out a whole bunch of awesome tracks, but as some people pointed out, some of the most important truths can be not only inconvenient, but downright traumatic. So many of them tended towards a downer vibe.

To balance that out, how about we make this Friday's theme 'songs that always cheer me up'? I've got a whole bunch of good ones in mind...

Not normally a big fan of haiku, tbh (or at least, contemporary English attempts at them), but this one hits home.

Ani Difrantco - Joyful Girl
So many good Ani Difranco songs on this theme. But this one is about what motivates her to be a truth teller. And also has a line about the truth, so

'cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
and the woman who lives there can tell
the truth from the stuff that they say
and she looks me in the eye
and says would you prefer the easy way
no, well o.k. then
don't cry

Someone pointed out that a lot of people use #JukeboxFridayNight for the #FridayNightJukebox event in the verse. Late last night, I posted a whole bunch of #TruthTellers songs under the latter tag. Check 'em out!

Not posting the videos because they are a hard watch with both in your face imagery and symbolism that sinks in afterward. I mean there’s A LOT of hard truth telling going on in these songs/videos.

Final post for #JukeboxFridayNight from me

Lots of songs on the theme of #TruthTellers focused on more downbeat aspects of the theme, understandably, and there have been many, many great tunes posted

One of the best JFNs yet in my opinion. But to close mine, I'm going for something uplifting, musically and spiritually

"within every man, is the seed of a flower, if he looks within, he finds beauty and power"

Have a peaceful weekend all ♥️
