The contribution of West African languages to Ebonics is absolutely infinitesimal. What it actually is is a very interesting hybrid of regional dialects of Great Britain that slaves in America were exposed to because they often worked alongside the indentured servants who spoke those dialects that we often learn about in school Picture Quote #1

When Marcus Garvey spoke about self-reliance, he wasn’t only talking about people of colour. It’s like self-reliance in general, for anyone. Just keep moving and moving within the right direction, and everything will be all right Picture Quote #1

But it is true that ever since ‘Harry Potter’ there has been a renaissance in fantasy literature. J. K. Rowling opened the door again Picture Quote #1

I committed a cardinal sin as a kid. I never spoke, and my mother thought there was something seriously wrong with me. A silent child is regarded as a problem in Ireland, and I just read all the time Picture Quote #1

I met Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I’m not really star struck by actors, but musicians, that’s when I get star struck. Chad Smith is my number one drum influence, so that was a real mind-blow. I spoke to him - proper English, thank God! Picture Quote #1

Growing up, my dad drank a lot of wine, so I got a taste for, and learned how to enjoy it. He spoke a lot about flavors and differences in tastes of wine.
