Abebi

Autor Nailah Jumoke"
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 iun 2018
Having prophetic dreams is a normal occurrence for me. However, when I began having a "recurring" dream about a massive building with many rooms, I was completely baffled. Even more daunting, as I timidly roamed the long hallways and gigantic rooms, I was haunted by "ghostly cries for help." In seeking to understand what this dream meant, I prayed and meditated for clarity. My prayers were answered! One day while driving home from my job as a cafe owner, I accidentally took a wrong exit which surprisingly led me to the building in my dream…a twenty-two room "former plantation." Located in an exclusively white neighborhood, called Portland, in Louisville, Kentucky, that day became the beginning of a long, arduous and bitter-sweet journey, whereas, I would be servicing not only the living, but also the dead. Abebi is the true story about the souls of slaves who had become trapped in a virtual hell! However, it was only after being led to purchase the former plantation, when it became quite clear, during a cleansing ritual, that it was me who was being "called" to free their souls from their unceasing hell! In the process of "heeding the call," much like the television series, The Ghost Whispers, I was often abruptly visited by bodied and disembodied spirits telling and showing me, in vivid and mysterious ways, the atrocities of being a slave. And, they were counting on me to help them to "move-on" towards the light, or at least somewhere a little more . . . heavenly? Of course, it didn't seem to matter to the tortured ghosts that I had my own personal hell to live through. One that challenged my faith in love, my spirituality and the mission at hand. However, with the support of the ancestors and my Spirit Guides, who became the backbone to my survival and in keeping my sanity, I was given the strength and the fortitude to carry-out the mission through a series of rituals, dreams, meditation, and a lot of praying, all while coming to the stark realization that: Hate, is a powerful energy that will manifest into a living hell--and that Death offers no escape!

Notă biografică

Nailah Jumoke (Yarbrough), a native of Louisville, Kentucky was the founder, proprietor and visionary of The Java House Café and the Harriet Tubman Cultural Center. Recognized as a forum for racial and social healing through the art of the Spoken Word and various other community art forms, The Java House and Tubman Center hosted distinguished visitors and performers that included Bahamian Diet Guru and Comedian Dick Gregory, Comedian June Boykins aka "Just June," and Author/Poet Jessica Care Moore. During its five years of operation, The Java House emerged as the gathering place for local and regional artists. Listed as "One of the Most Notable African Americans in the state of Kentucky," in 1999, at the age of 50, Jumoke-Yarbrough was the first African American to run for governor in the state of Kentucky. In 2000 Jumoke received the Louisville Historical League's Preservation Award for the Renovation of the Irvin House in Portland, Kentucky, which became the home of the Harriet Tubman Cultural Center and the new home for The Java House Café. She was also acknowledged in an edition of "Who's Who" in Business. Jumoke was known as a poet, community activist, Kentucky/Indiana Girl Scouts volunteer, and a youth advocate. She also counseled and mentored "at risk" youth in the public-school system. Jumoke, who has been a seer of ghosts since childhood, is a staunch believer in life after death, psychic forces, ancestral reverence, and the importance of dreams... all of which ultimately led her to the penning of Abebi, "We called for her and she came to us." It is based on a true story that spans a five-year period of Jumoke's life in which she performed African rituals while enduring tremendous sacrifices to "heed the call" in helping to free the trapped souls in a real-life, former plantation.
