#wow I can't wait to use my pronouns 😆

Growing up I thought ‘Day-O’ was cheesy. Not knowing that is was a song about rebellion and that Harry Belafonte managed to finesse the world of white media to make millions of white voices chant songs of Black rebellion unknowingly. Now that’s gangsta.

Harry was a man of many things, he sang in Kwéyol, he turned his back on popular music to hone in on his heritage, he bailed Martin Luther King from jail, and was one of the people behind MLK’s March to freedom, actually he was one of MLK’s closest bredrins. The man who brought Mandela to the USA for the first time.

As a child in Jamaica he saw the painful legacy of colonialism first hand and this began his pathway to activism.

When the world was swooning over his good looks, pretty smile, catchy songs and powerful screen performances, he used the opportunity to divert their eyes to his real passion - Racial and Social Justice, at a risk to his own career. That’s activism at its heart.

Thank Mr Belafonte...

Finally Peter Pan realized he loves his tink
The whole time…his heart keeps beatin
His chest hard knowin tink is the one for him…
Not Wendy…it’s tinkerbell…her dreams came true…

Dusk of happy thoughts fall like rain
Ever so golden….

Peter was hardheaded, he knew he loves her…
She was there by the tip of his nose….when
He was about to tell her how he feels, he began to get coy…

Butterflies in his stomach, he sighed
Breathin softly…
He got the courage to walk up to her
And say, “tinkerbell, I’m in love with you
I’m sorry I didn’t see this all along….
I’m so in love with you, baby…I do apologize
I got you waitin forever….
I love you…you’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever
Seen…I’m in love with your face turnin red when you get mad
The way you laugh, the way you jingle and how you make my soul fill
With happy thoughts…would you be my lady, please?
Would you court with me? To be my wife at our neverland?”
He said all of that
With a ring in his hand that he got it from the treasure….


Tinkerbell cried
And said “yes, my sweet hardheaded pan.”

They live happily ever after….
