A Powerful Speaker:Nazanin Afshin-Jam


On Feb 2 two SDH Mentors, Alison and Barbarah, and 2 YUM members, Ana and Jamie, attended a presentation by Nazanin on stopping child executions, specifically in Iran. I think that we were all both moved and horrified by her presentation. The youth had a chance to talk with Nazanin on their own after her talk, which looked rewarding for everyone.
Here is Nazanin's web site; http://www.stopchildexecutions.com/

We want to hear from YOU!

Monster's Kind By Jamie CI

Monster's Kind

Attempt another
Suppress a death
A monster's breath
Tragically Macbeth

Attempt another
Catching me blind
A naive mind
A monster's kind

Attempt another
Distress my word
To be absurd
A monster spurred

Brother me blind
This is not an illness
This is my mind


Jamie CI


I'll be posting some of my own poetry as well as others I find thought provoking and intriguing starting with this.
Cheers, Jamie

Film Review - "Look at What the Light Did Now"

I've decided to review a film I haven't even seen yet. Funny, but true. All I know is that I LOVE Feist and I love what she does with her music and the way she pulls other talented people into her fold. This film is very much about taking one person (the star) out of the limelight and placing her within the crrooowwwddd of talented individuals that let this one star shine. You are brought on a multi-sensory journey through light and sound. What could be more beautiful? What could be more inspiring? I hope you check out this film! I know this one will soon end up on my book shelf for multiple viewings. Can't wait to see it!
