The Art of Storytelling: Recent Episodes
Kevin Rakeen White
As an author, storyteller, poet, and playwright, I will be sharing my love for stories in the form of poems, songs, raps, short stories, proverbs, and universal nuggets; to incite the spirit of my listeners to share their own golden stories in hopes of building books for generations to come. This platform will be used to collaborate on projects with my callers and others. I am very excited about sharing and receiving this light.

For all of the FATHERS and men with the responsibility of raising children. LISTEN IN!
“Your daddy wanted you to be everything he wasn't...and at the same time, he tried to make you into everything he was. I don't know if he was right or wrong...but I do know he meant to do more good than he meant to do harm.”
- August Wilson, ‘Fences.’

Here's a story about a man with lightning hands that could dance fifteen rounds or better.Born in Galveston in 1878. He was coming for the belt and not a minute too late. In 1908 he became the first African American to win the world heavyweight crown when he knocked out the reigning champ, Tommy Burns. The fast-living Johnson held on to the title until 1915 and continued to box until he was 50.

Properly position yourself into your inner world. How to do that? Start by finding a comfortable quiet place and cleaning it. Pray over the space with your intentions and then take a seat. Be still. Close your eyes. Feel the feeling of being you again. Go deeper, it's okay. Permit yourself to leave for just a moment or more. When you arrive on the other side of NOW, take notes. Bring your notes back to tell us all WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN.
