"AFRIYE," From Chicago to Selma

I still can't find the words to express how I have felt since Saturday, May 2nd. Sometimes I find myself praising GOD, dancing singing, crying, rejoicing, praying, and screaming (yes, screaming), as I replay in my heart and mind the splendor of the gathering of open and willing hearts. I promise you, I can still see your faces, feel your spirits, and the essence of GOD in each of you.

I think we can all agree that coming together on Saturday was far more significant than the documentary screening itself.Thank you for showing up, your presence helped to create "A PLACE FOR US," a Safe, Loving, Healing, and Peaceful place for us. A place to come and Just Be Human.
