Just as an FYI, when you post a quote, and don’t credit the author, or put quotation marks around it, you are in effect, saying it is your own. This quote, for example, is from poet, Alysia Harris’ poem “Cab Rides and the Morning After” . It takes about a millisecond to add quotes. Watch as we demonstrate ” ” .  See how fast that was… We know that our Strivers fam are innately good people, so it may have been unintentional. Being that it has 381 notes…maybe not. Thank you to the tumblr friend that brought this to our attention.

Thank god the stars don’t judge us for what we do beneath them.

when we are old

hair the color of tombstones bones
that sound like wet windshield wipers

whenever we slow dance through the living room
I imagine that I will look you in the eye
as if there were something small and precious imprisoned there
and say to you,
“Darling, did you know that a…

I often feel like I want to think something but I can’t find the language that coincides with the thoughts, so it remains felt, not thought.

“He Has a Name” (Awareness)…composed in memory of Trayvon Martin.

Happy Mother’s Day #4sybrina

Brandee Younger, Harp
E.J. Strickland, Drums
Dezron Douglas, Bass
Stacy Dillard, Tenor Sax
Nicole Camacho, Alto Flute

Composed by Brandee Younger
Recorded in Brooklyn, May 2012


Additional Info:
This piece was composed in memory of the late Trayvon Martin. The tragic case that has affected so many of us across the world has been a wakeup call that we need to address racial injustice today. Entitled “He Has a Name” and subtitled “Awareness,” the piece urges us to open our eyes to reality instead of holding to irrational beliefs due to preconceived notions. 100% of the proceeds from this recording will be donated to organizations dedicated to racial justice and equality.

On a very personal note, I learned of the Trayvon Martin case through the website globalgrind.com where they give an identity to murder victims by citing, “He has a name…” It takes a piece of my heart every time I sign online and see the words “He has a name…” because I know there has been yet another act of violence. As social media reported the Trayvon Martin case, it became a continual reminder of the state that America is still in and the work that still needs to be done. My heart and prayers go out to Tracy Martin and Sabrina Fulton, Trayvon’s parents. It’s not the natural progression of life to see your child go before you especially under such tragic circumstances. For me, having a teenage brother who appears not unlike Trayvon, I can’t help but be fearful that he will be judged unfairly, based on stereotypes and appearance.

Thinking about this case, I think not just about my brother but about my friends and classmates who died tragic, violent deaths way too young. So “He Has a Name” (Awareness) is not only for Trayvon, but for Dewon Heron, Duane Day, Eric Rivera, Michael Hamilton, Tiana Notice and every young life that we’ve lost too soon due to tragic violence.

I set out to write a song expressing the unconditional love and strength a mother gives to her children. This, if for no other reason, is how I know magic exists. I am eternally grateful to my mother for this.

I have been around so many truly amazing mothers lately and am completely mesmerized by the strength and selflessness that they give to their children. It is the worlds single hardest job. My mother is a mountain of a woman and I don’t know what I would do without her.

With the help of several friends (Nicky, Poncho, Chuck, Alex, Rugby) I was able to film a video of the song so that I could share it with my mother who lives in California. We were also able to take a couple snap shots of the shoot which, are what you see above. She is the kind of woman that never gives or receives a gift that only gives to one person. So this is for all of women that are mothering everywhere. I hope you enjoy!
