We Belong In A World Of Possibility With Iyeoka |

Susan notes: this tune (called The Yellow Brick Roach Song), features the fabulous Iyeoka Ivie Okoawo Poet/Recording Artist and all-around amazing woman. She won second place at the 2009 Individual World Poetry Slam Champion; she is a 2010 TED Global Fellow and right now, in August 2010, she is an Artist in Residence at Big Sur Spirit Garden . A first-generation Nigerian-American, Iyeoka was a practicing pharmacist before launching her career as a poet, presenter, activist and educator. Love her. Love the tune. See more of her here: 8

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall, Who’s The “Rightest” One Of All? |
|
|
Susan notes: sometimes the universe freaks me out by sending just the right message at just the right time. Here’s another one from The Daily Om.
 Our perception of humanity as a whole is, to a large extent, dualistic. We paint people with a broad brush: some are like us, sharing our opinions and our attitudes, while others are different.
Our commitment to values we have chosen to embrace is often so strong that we are easily convinced that our way is the right way.
We may find ourselves frustrated by those who view the world from an alternate vantage point and make use of unusual strategies when coping with life's challenges. However ardently we believe that these people would be happier and more satisfied following our lead, we should resist the temptation to try to change them.
When you feel the need to change others, it may be the time to look inside yourself, find the mirror and the message.

In My Bubble: Natasha Moloo Draws Her Jihad |

Susan notes: as the debate around hijab continues throughout the world, I found this unique perspective, artfully delivered, to be fascinating. Obviously others did as well - it was the Winner of the 2010 Mosquers Video Contest in the social Conscience
Category. According to The Mosquers site, it is:
"...a program under the Centre for Race and Culture, its
video contest encourages Muslims (and Non-Muslims alike) to “grab a
camera and send a message” about Muslims or Islam in Canada. For the
last three years, The Mosquers has been very successful in addressing
stereotypes and misconceptions about Islam to the media and general
public.
By encouraging individuals to use the artistic medium of
film/video, young Muslims have been given the opportunity to entertain,
educate and decrease stereotypes & misconceptions about Islam in a
creative and effective way."
