An early ‘forever-entrance’ into the Kingdom of Wakanda!

Just a few thoughts as @litfortheculture1773 celebrates the honorable life and impeccable art of Chadwick Boseman:

• the #comic (a literary work with still animation, directly reminiscent of classic children’s lit. ) came FIRST! (First appearance: Stan Lee’s and Jack Kirby’s Fantastic Four #52 – July 1966)
• his SISTER designed and manufactured his suit of armor.
• the King was protected by a legion of women who’d rather shave their heads than be distracted in battle…hand-to-hand, spiritual or otherwise.
• not☝🏾ONE person in Boseman’s camp shared or ‘leaked’ his personal info / medical diagnosis
• there were many times he presented as a King, functioned as a King…within a realm of physical pain, fear, discomfort and very real impending (im)mortality.
• accurate representation really does matter…as do #BlackLives!
• his was a MIGHTY #purpose…fulfilled!

‘You get to decide what kind of king you will be’ ~Nakia to T’Challa in Black Panther

Oftentimes, I am asked the origin and/or meaning of my name.  Shimah is a derivative of the name Shammah; Hebrew-Arabic in origin, with a biblical reference to Jehovah Shammah meaning 'God is present'.  It is pronounced with the accent on the second syllable and the only one who shortens it on a consistent basis is my mother.  I think I've been looking for ways to ground myself since birth - love grounds me, as does the written word.  And so, here we are!  Please explore the menu on the homepage; here you will find the different areas in which I express myself through script.  Be it impromptu poetry, editing work, my ever-growing children's literature series, or the socially conscious (yet personally knotted) blog, it all siphons into creating and expression by way of the written word. I refer to myself as the Maternal Head of a beautiful little girl who lovingly just calls me mommy.  If you've gotten through this lengthy bio then I will assume you've got time today... so, please leave me a note - the literates are in need of inspiration and constructive feedback from time to time.  Take care of your soul and I'll see ya'll 'round the way.
