WLE---- recording studio

For my WLE, I chose to work at a studio in Milbrae with my sister's dad. Well, since my visits, i have been learning about the important of music, mangenment, how much sound system cost, cost to record a song, and finding talent. when i was there i met the whispers, an olg group that just had a tour. We conversated and took pictures.
When this project is done and I have to show my finish piece, i hope it comes out like I plan.

Maya Angelou- wouldnt take nothing from my journey now

In Ms. Angelou novel, the paragraph(s) that caught my attention were on page 57, "clothes make the man", "clothes can make the man or woman look silly and foppish and foolish."
----->Any clothes you wear, will make you look good or bad. depending on how you carrry yourself.

----->heres another one.
" seek the fashion which truly fits and befits you. you will always be in fashion if you are true to yourself, and only if you are true to yourself."

This really caught my attention because it reminds me of church on a sunday morning, when the pastor preach on the word of the lord. and what Maya's quote was kind of true. What I think she meant by this quote, is to find inner beauty by not through clothes and wear what makes you, you.

THE AMERICAN AURTHOR I CHOOSE IS MAYA ANGELOU. WHEN MAYA ANGELOU WRITES HER BOOKS AND POEMS I FEEL STRONGER, LIKE THE POEM PHENOMENAL WOMEN AND STILL I RISE. WHEN I READ THEM, IN MY MIND, I SAY YES! WOMEN POWER! SHE HAS BEEN IN MOVIES AND HER POEMS ALSO. SHE WAS IN POETIC JUSTICE AND MADEA'S FAMILY REUNION. HE POEMS HAVE BEEN MENTIONED IN BEAUTY SHOP.
MAYA ANGELOU MEETS ALL OF THE CRITERIA. SHE IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN. SHE WRITES ABOUT HER LIFE IN THE BOOK, I KNOW WHY THE CAGE BIRD SINGS. SHE SPEAKS FROM A WOMEN POINT OF VIEW. MAYA ANGELOU BEEN AROUND SINCE OUR MOMS WAS KIDS. I THINK SHE IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE SHE IS OLDER AND SHE SEEN A LOT OF THINGS IN HER LIFE AND BY PUTTING IT IN HER BOOK. MAYA ANGELOU SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF CRITICISM SINCE SHE IS A BLACK AURTHOR. I MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND SOME CRITICISM ON HER WEBSITE. GO TO AMAZON TO READ ABOUT HER BOOKS, THE WAY THEY RATE HER NOVELS.
THE BOOKS I HAVE IN MIND OF READING, I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS, AND STILL I RISE, AND I SHALL NOT BE MOVED. IN THIS ORDER WOULD BE FINE, BECAUSE THE WAY THE TITLES SOUNDS. I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SING. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING SHE WAS MUTE FOR 3-5 YEARS BECAUSE HER MOM BOYFRIEND RAPED HER. THEN SHE FINALLY SPOKE OUT AT THE END. THAT SHOWS SHE WAS THE BIRD IN THE CAGED AND SHE SUNG OUT. THREW ALL OF THE PAIN, MAYA'S BOOK AND STILL I RISE, IT SEEMS LIKE SHE KEEP GOING, SHE STILL RISING. THE THIRD BOOK, I SHALL NOT BE MOVED. SHE MADE HER MARK OF SAYING I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE. THESE THREE BOOKS SHOULD BE OVER 200 PAGES. TO FIND HER BIOGRAPHY I CAN GO ON
I FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING MAYA ANGELOU FOR RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I HAVE NOT READ ALL HER BOOKS. SO THIS WILL BE AN ALRIGHT EXPERIENCE FOR ME TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MY AMERICAN AUTHOR.

JENDAYI SMITH-MOVING VOICES

Louisville, Kentucky- In the early 60’s, I had my first daughter, Roxane, then a couple years later, I had my second daughter, Gail. And they were the new addition to the Travis. One thing about the Travis is that everyone in the city knew about us and nobody messed with because they knew the consequences. Growing up in the south was very hard to get a job, I try to work at a hospital and the white lady said that I had to meet the requirements and come back tomorrow. So the next day I came back to the hospital and had an interview with the lady in the main office. I met all the requirements, she was so amazed and jealous that I did not get the job. So, me being the lady that I stood up and said, “thank you for your time and god bless,” I knew I had to kill her with kindness, and that is exactly what I did. Then one day, I had to leave Kentucky, because my husband Clyde, wanted to be Mr. tough guy and rob the local bank. When you rob a bank you suppose to get money, cash, paper. But noooo, he took all the coins and was running down the street with nickels and dimes worth $500. The bank of coarse called the police. When I seen what happen on the news that my husband, Clyde Travis, got away with money and their was a warrant out for him. I felt like bonnie. I just knew my husband was up to no good, when we were watching television that evening. He told he wanted to go out for a while to collect some money from a old friend. I had no clue his old friend was a bank! I instantly packed my bags and my kids, called a taxi and was headed to the airport. The lady asked, “ Where do you wanna go?” I asked, “Where can I go with 200 dollars?” she replied, “Detroit or San Francisco. I looked down at my daughters and said San Francisco m’ am. And began a new life on the West Coast.
