We speak is a project created by Righteous AIM to address healing the black community from with in.
Because WE know who we are
Because WE know what we need
Because WE can Speak our truth
Because WE can (wo)manifest our HEALING
WE want to hear about the bold radical changes you are making in your community
Righteous AIM created this virtual community to highlight local voices of those on the ground making OUR communities STRONGER and HEALTHIER everyday.
Here is how is works:
1. Write a poem to someone you love who is making it do what it do in your hood.
2. Write a note, a letter, essay, or song to someone making it do what it do in your hood.
3. Tape a WE SPEAK session with your community, or with one other person, or record your thoughts on healing and fortifying black communities.
4. Take a picture of someone making radical change through revolutionary love with your camera phone, or digi cam.
Then submit your narratives, videos, pitures, poem to us! We will archive them here and possibly use them during our performance about healing black community this September.
That’s it!

A Souls voice
I speak
I speak for the freeness of my subconscious
I spoke for my ideas and their adventures
I find myself being misunderstood
So their I stood
For that second I stand
For that minute I think
For that hour I awoke
For that day I stay woke
The week is long
But so is the though
A week is now a month
And for that month I fought
Fought for my voice
That will soon speak
It has its own life
So it will grow with such nature
Gathering the ideas makes it stronger
The anger makes it more passionate
The voice is like a shadow
Hollow and dark
Can be seen like the light
And felt like a shark
The sound is out of tune
But all that came before it started the same
But this voice isn’t the same
Its personality can be both sane and insane
From one end to another
From one extreme to the next
VOICE
Powers little big secret to society
Comes in different variety’s
Can you speak?
I hear you
But yet you’re quiet
It must be the voice screaming inside of you
Fighting to get out
So anxious the words don’t even come out the way you want it to
Desperate Measures the voice is growing against your inner being
Growing against your outer being
There is a battle going on within your heart
So it pumps faster
The voice is getting angry
It feels cheated
Doesn’t want to be selfish
Wants everybody else to hear it
Shots of emotions are fired to the brain
LET ME OUT!!!! The voice screams
It shoots more shots of emotions’
Always in motion
The consciousness feels the HEAT
The brain waves the flag
The body’s inner being gives up
The mouth opens and yells
OUTLOUD
LET ME OUT!!!!!!!!!
The voice is now free
