It’s Important that our Queens are aware of the power they hold in their hands to liberate our people. The First thing we have to understand is that White people have always believed and practiced Patriarchy. Why is this important to know? The reason they target Black Men so much, the reason they try so hard to separate Black men from the family is because they are afraid of our power. They believe that only a man could rise and become a threat to overthrowing their system. They are made to believe that only a man can rule. It is this ignorance that our queens need to take advantage of. We have to realize that one of the major reasons Harriet Tubman, Yaa Asantewaa, and women like them were so successful in their revolts was because White people never imagined that a woman could accomplish such things. They thought it was a man leading these revolts and that’s who they focused their attention on. Black Women you can once again make them pay for their ignorance. Africans have always known the power in our queens. You can use this power to help save the race.

Queen Nanny was a True person of Resiliency and Courage and renowned for her efforts in Jamaica growing up in slavery. Queen Nanny was kidnapped from Ghana as a child and forced into slavery during the late 1600’s and was raised in some of the worst conditions in the early 1700’s. Nanny was influenced by the Maroons who were former slaves that fled plantations and formed their own communities in Jamaica’s interior. 

Nanny and her brothers ran away and escaped from their torturous slavery at the plantation. They led several revolts across Jamaica. Queen Nanny was a well-respected, intelligent spiritual leader who was instrumental in organizing the plans to free slaves. For over 30 years she freed almost 1000 slaves and helped them settle into these new Maroon communities. 

She defeated the British forces that enslaved them in many battles. Despite repeated attacks from the British soldiers on Grandy Nanny’s settlement which was formed in her honor and called Nanny Town, it remained under Maroon control for years with successful defenses. The school system won’t tell you about the Legendary Queen Nanny, but she is referred to as the “Mother Of Jamaica” and known as a true Hero and Leader. SanCopha Salute!

Sarah (Sally) Bassett, an enslaved Bermudian woman who in June 1730 was burned at the stake. She was accused of attempting to poison her granddaughter’s owner. Earlier in 1712, Bassett was accused of damaging property, killing livestock, and threatening landowners. For this, she was whipped the length of Southampton Parish (involving more than 100 lashes). It is said that on her way to her execution she said to those on the way to witness her execution to take their time because “There’ll be no fun ‘til I get there.” 

In 2008, a ten foot tall statue of Bassett (pictured above) was erected in Hamilton.

If this message reaches You, I created a music project with people like You in mind. Be it Your positive representation of Our highly underrepresented Queens (Women), inspiring, rebellious, and/or informative quotes, pure dopeness in various mediums (art, poetry, photography, etc.), humor, or honest self-reflection via Tumblr, I connect. Sans the frequencies You project, "The Dizzle Morrison Project" wouldn't be. So I dedicate this piece of my (he)art to You. Peace. -Dizzle Morrison

Give thanks!

I noticed you are an art model I was wondering if you have a few tips for beginners my first audition is soon!

I am so sorry, I have no idea when you sent this but forgive me for my late response. I hope it went great! My advice is to just simply come to grips that your perfectly flawed stature and physique is what helps these people become better artists. Your geometrical lines, your muscle definition, everything....you are art. Once you understand that, you'll be fine! Hope this helps :-)
