I'm watching Obama take office, and before he even stepped onto the dais, I was rocking my feet like the African women from Kenya to Nigeria, who move their hips, ushering in the elements and pushing power forward through their arms and the ululations they call with tongue and teeth. A martini glass in my hand, and hope in my heart, I'm thinkin', "Damn, this is a new day."Although I know Obama isn't as progressive as I want him to be, game peeps game when it comes to this historic moment. I hope all of us recognize the words of that old negro spiritual from McFadden & Whitehead,"Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now".Have a new day family.
