She Walks In Beauty

by Lord Byron

She walks in Beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellowed to that tender light

Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impaired the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o'er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express,

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.


And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!

We need your help with donations for the Haitians that survived the recent devastating earthquake that occurred in Port-au-Prince, Haiti on Tuesday, January 12, 2010.

We need your help to come aboard and not only spread the word, but reaching out to your resources and helping in any way possible! I have had many other concerned citizens interested in assisting with this movement and I will be posting details as POD's (Point of distribution) are confirmed!

I greatly appreciate your time and if you or your company is interested in joining this initiative, please email me at designsbycarlia@gmail.com or call me

"matunda ya kwanza"

Kwanzaa is an African American and Pan-African holiday which celebrates family, community and culture. Celebrated from 26 December thru 1 January, its origins are in the first harvest celebrations of Africa from which it takes its name. The name Kwanzaa is derived from the phrase "matunda ya kwanza" which means "first fruits" in Swahili, a Pan-African language which is the most widely spoken African language.

The first-fruits celebrations are recorded in African history as far back as ancient Egypt and Nubia and appear in ancient and modern times in other classical African civilizations such as Ashantiland and Yorubaland. These celebrations are also found in ancient and modern times among societies as large as empires (the Zulu or kingdoms (Swaziland) or smaller societies and groups like the Matabele, Thonga and Lovedu, all of southeastern Africa. Kwanzaa builds on the five fundamental activities of Continental African "first fruit" celebrations: ingathering; reverence; commemoration; recommitment; and celebration.

Kwanzaa, then, is:

a time of ingathering of the people to reaffirm the bonds between them;
a time of special reverence for the creator and creation in thanks and respect for the blessings, bountifulness and beauty of creation;
a time for commemoration of the past in pursuit of its lessons and in honor of its models of human excellence, our ancestors;
a time of recommitment to our highest cultural ideals in our ongoing effort to always bring forth the best of African cultural thought and practice; and
a time for celebration of the Good, the good of life and of existence itself, the good of family, community and culture, the good of the awesome and the ordinary, in a word the good of the divine, natural and social.

The African American Branch
Rooted in this ancient history and culture, Kwanzaa develops as a flourishing branch of the African American life and struggle as a recreated and expanded ancient tradition. Thus, it bears special characteristics only an African American holiday but also a Pan-African one, For it draws from the cultures of various African peoples, and is celebrated by millions of Africans throughout the world African community. Moreover, these various African peoples celebrate Kwanzaa because it speaks not only to African Americans in a special way, but also to Africans as a whole, in its stress on history, values, family, community and culture.

Kwanzaa was established in 1966 in the midst of the Black Freedom Movement and thus reflects its concern for cultural groundedness in thought and practice, and the unity and self-determination associated with this. It was conceived and established to serve several functions.



Reaffirming and Restoring Culture
First, Kwanzaa was created to reaffirm and restore our rootedness in African culture. It is, therefore, an expression of recovery and reconstruction of African culture which was being conducted in the general context of the Black Liberation Movement of the '60's and in the specific context of The Organization Us, the founding organization of Kwanzaa and the authoritative keeper of its tradition. Secondly, Kwanzaa was created to serve as a regular communal celebration to reaffirm and reinforce the bonds between us as a people. It was designed to be an ingathering to strengthen community and reaffirm common identity, purpose and direction as a people and a world community. Thirdly, Kwanzaa was created to introduce and reinforce the Nguzo Saba (the Seven Principles.) These seven communitarian African values are: Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith). This stress on the Nguzo Saba was at the same time an emphasis on the importance of African communitarian values in general, which stress family, community and culture and speak to the best of what it means to be African and human in the fullest sense. And Kwanzaa was conceived as a fundamental and important way to introduce and reinforce these values and cultivate appreciation for them.

Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by , professor of Africana Studies at California State University, Long Beach, author and scholar-activist who stresses the indispensable need to preserve, continually revitalize and promote African American culture.


Finally, it is important to note Kwanzaa is a cultural holiday, not a religious one, thus available to and practiced by Africans of all religious faiths who come together based on the rich, ancient and varied common ground of their Africanness.

Paul Laurence Dunbar

‘Lias! ‘Lias! Bless de Lawd!

Don’ you know de day’s erbroad?

Ef you don’ git up, you scamp,

Dey ‘ll be trouble in dis camp.

T’ink I gwine to let you sleep

W’ile I meks yo’ boa’d an’ keep?

Dat’s a putty howdy-do—

Don’ you hyeah me, ‘Lias—you?



Bet ef I come crost dis flo’

You won’ fin’ no time to sno’.

Daylight all a-shinin’ in

Wile you sleep—w’y hit’s a sin!

Ain’t de can’le-light enough

To bu’n out widout a snuff,

But you go de mo’nin’ thoo

Bu’nin’ up de daylight too?



‘Lias, don’ you hyeah me call?

No use tu’nin’ to’ds de wall;

I kin hyeah dat mattuss squeak;

Don’ you hyeah me w’en I speak?


Dis hyeah clock done struck off six—

Ca’line, bring me dem ah sticks!

Oh, you down, suh; huh, you down—

Look hyeah, don’ you daih to frown.



Ma’ch yo’se’f an’ wash yo’ face,

Don’ you splattah all de place;

I got somep’n else to do,

‘Sides jes’ cleanin’ aftah you.

Tek dat comb ah’ fix yo’ haid—

Looks jes’ lak a feddah baid.

Look hyeah, boy, I let you see

You sha’ n’t roll yo’ eyes at me.



Come hyeah; bring me dat ah strap!

Boy, I’ll whup you ‘twell you drap;

You done felt yo’se’f too strong,

An’ you sholy got me wrong.

Set down at dat table thaih;

Jes’ you whimpah ef you daih!


Evah mo’nin’ on dis place,

Seem lak I mus’ lose my grace.

Fol’ yo’ han’s an’ bow yo’ haid—

Wait ontwell de blessin’ ’s said;


“Lawd, have mussy on ouah souls—”
(Don’ you daih to tech dem rolls—)
“Bless de food we gwine to eat—”
(You set still—I see yo’ feet;

You jes’ try dat trick agin!)


“Gin us peace an’ joy. Amen!”
