Date: 9/13/2025 Venue: All City Homes, 3401 2nd Ave., Sacramento, CA Series: Mahogany Urban Poetry Series Host: J. Rowe Project: Poetry On Blast Feature: Shawn William Poem: Splitting Image - My Son Notes: I found his poetry delivery style interesting. He melted each poem into his talk, and you didn’t quite know when the poem started. It became this holistic presentation of unconditional love, forgiveness, and forbearance. “Spitting Image - My Son” is a great poem about a father finding himself through loving his son.

Poem-Song: Sleeping Giants Poet: Diamond Date: 8/9/2025 Venue: All City Homes (3401 2nd Avenue, Sacramento, CA 95817) Series: Mahogany Urban Poetry Series Project: Poetry On Blast Tags: Poetry, Sacramento Note: I found Diamond very talented and surprisingly spiritual for her age. This song, although not a poem, fits this project because of the venue she performed at and her use of verse. Links: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/malikspeaks-44783353343 https://allcityhomes.com/

Poem: Evolution of the Black Clitoris Poet: Dyvacat Date: 7/30/2025 Venue: Our Place (1107 Firehouse Alley, Sacramento, CA 95814) Series: Mahogany Urban Poetry Series Project: Poetry On Blast Note: Dyvacat is awesome. She did something like 6 poems that night, all memorized. And they all had length. This recording is not the best because I was far away, but I cleaned it up the best I could.

"Meschery was born as Tomislav Nikolayevich Meshcheryakov in Harbin, Manchukuo. His parents were Russian immigrants who fled from the October Revolution in 1917. The Meschery family was later relocated to a Japanese internment camp near Tokyo during World War II. After the war, Meschery and his parents emigrated to the United States. It was also in this phase of his life where his father renamed the family "Meschery" due to the anti-Communist/anti-Soviet Red Scare under Joseph McCarthy, and Tomislav Nikolayevich was renamed Thomas Nicholas, which later was abbreviated to Tom. Living in San Francisco, California, Meschery attended Lowell High School. After graduating in 1957, he went to Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga. Meschery helped Saint Mary's reach the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight in 1959. Two years later, he was chosen as a First Team All-American, and was named the West Coast Conference Player of the Year. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1961." -Wikipedia

"Remembering Brother Esutosin Omowale Osunkoya (aka Charles Brunson) of Sacramento, he started the Black Panther Party (BPP) chapter in Sacramento in 1968. Sending positive energy & much love to Margo and family. Ashe!! Ashe!!" -Faye Wilson Kennedy Omowale was an amazing person always full of life and ready to dance or drum. To think he would pass from Covid-19 is heart breaking. http://sacobserver.com/2020/04/virus-claims-life-of-local-black-panther-party-founder/?fbclid=IwAR2PfB97ZZABGGABtt7lXQ-JhySsJ-UOow8rXaSEHqgDd4HyXY56EN7XFxk I was lucky enough to run sound during a Black Panther panel at The Brickhouse Art Gallery in Sacramento California part of an exhibit called "SAC PANTHERS 48 ART EXHIBITION" by Milton Bowens. So I thought I should record some of the discussion on a whim, I never did anything with the recording until now. This is the raw cut of the audio no edits. Enjoy.
