Yeyefini was the keynote speaker at the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Emancipation Day Rally. The festivities were held in Kingstown’s Heritage Square, on the island of St. Vincent.  Yeye spoke on “Building a Stronger Coummunity” and “The Fundamentals of Worship”.

It takes a Black Man and a White Woman to bring dignity, grace and a new approach to the presidential debates, I’ve never experienced in my life. In fact this is the only presidential debate that I’ve stayed tuned to listen to the entire thing. If this is the direction that America is actually going, we can use this event as a guide for all future political debates. It made the viewers feel respected and that their intelligence mattered, and their support counted. We are in fact at a major crossroad in direction of America. I am not saying that they won’t begin to smear each other after NASTY TUESDAY, but if they do at least they gave us a refreshing start, and perhaps they realize that they could select each other as vice president, when they win??????

For the past few years, the USA, has not lived up to some of the ideals it was supposed to, such as respect for others, support and aide without dogma, and we were respected and appreciated in the world,  and for many embodied human rights and freedom. Maybe America is now being given a chance to bring back the respect and dignity that has been lost. We are at the crossroads of a major event in the History of the world!!!!

Seeing two people who represent the faces of those who did not have the right to vote in America not too long ago run for the highest office in the United States is exciting. We are also at the crossroads and should ALL BE PROUD, of the dream of our African Ancestors, the hope of our forefathers can be realized and the future of mankind can be changed by the realization of our mental, spiritual, financial POWER.

No longer can the ignorant people of the world think, or assume, that Black are not indeed, human, intelligent, prepared, wise, and giving as any other race of people. We collectively as Black people built the wealth of the world from the sweat of our backs, the marks of the whips on our spirits but we continue to do the work.

I want to first give thanks to our ILUSTRIOUS ANCESTORS for their tireless hope from beyond the grave, their continued support by encouraging their children in their dreams at night as they sleep to continue the legacy of giving, nurturing and financially supporting our community. I want to thank Barak Obama’s Ancestors for giving him to us. Also want to thank many of the well know entertainers and people in the media for giving back continuously in spite of the fact that they don’t to get the publicity like Angelina Jolie for adopting children. We have such great Giants that continue to listen to their ancestors in their sleep AND GIVE BACK TIRELESSLY TO THEIR COMMUNITY such as: Oprah Winfrey, Bill and Camille Cosby, Russell Simmons, Denzel Washington, Will  Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith , Chris Rock, Alonzo Morning and many others who because of my ignorance, I don’t know their names or what they are doing to give back of course there are those community workers who do not even get mentioned in their local media let alone the national and international news, for you .I give great thanks and praises, because to me the real heroes are the ones that continue to give in spite of no notoriety.

To Mr. Obama, may you live long, continue to be a strong leader, prosper and do the damn thing!!!!
