the individuals that have played major 
roles in her life.

  Adrian Bibbens was a big influence in her life. She was her chorus teacher all through middle school, and coincidentally when Amanda went into the ninth grade, there stood Mrs. Bibbens,

"She stayed on me""When she hit that first piano key, you knew it was on." She went on to become the lead singer in Doc Anderson's school band, 'The Rappahannock Jazz Band', 
"I am a front person, because I was a lead singer. I was always out front, being out front taught me how to be out front[in life]. Put me on the stage,  give me a mic and I can go." 


"A good teacher is a master of simplification and an enemy of simplism."
-Louis A. Berman

"I am being tranformed into a better man."
We all are at a vital point in time. 
Change is here and with change comes new obstacles and growth. The problems we are entangled in is very complex because all are connected in some manner, like it or not. Lines have not only crossed but they have woven into strands that are linked into a universal source. Humanities universal consciousness has literally binded, materially.
We are connected to limitless information, that could be benificial or detrimental for us. So the Universal Oneness of all humankind is near. The issue is how the unification will happen and who will be in control. Will we all be equal? Will we all have an equal amounts of goods, and should we have a equal portion? or are we asking for too much?


"My love for my people is undying my assignment in this life is the resurrection of the mentally dead
Black Man and Woman of North America and through out the earth. Then to the rest of the human family."
-Maurice Muhammad

Brother Muhammad is that individual that genuinely cares about the future for all mankind. He has an extensive history in constructing grass root organizations. He specializes in using people's talents for the betterment of the community. The people that he is interested in helping, in turn become leaders, creating their own movements. He helps people by turning individuals into strong organizations: progressive collective forces.


With the present day technology, a child in a village, in africa, has the ability to carry on intimate conversations with relatives in Chicago, Ill and people are constantly inventing things. We do not know what they have invented, well... some do. Friends are very important; universal brotherhood is very important,
in fact it is a neccessity.

family                                
Is now the time for the communities to come together as one?    love        Power
food/shelter        Many say yes.       Unity               individualism vs collectivism               Obama                             Independence
Liberalism           and       Work          Romney
many say         conservatism
NO..
When will it be the right time? What are we looking for? Who are we? Who will decide when the time is right and why do he or they get to pick the Whos, whats, whens and wheres
Many say we need leaders.. others say we don't.  Everybody has their hands out.. but nobody wants to give anything,
not even time.

"No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path."
                                                Buddha

Brother Maurice Muhammad is one of the few that puts in the time,  traveling state to state, supporting people that have had issues with the system[domestically/criminally]. He has counseled troubled youth, attended events for activist and now
his present mission, is helping daycare centers stay operational nationwide. Especially, the ones that are lacking the funds and resources to carry on. He feels by connecting with the right individuals and resources, he will not only save businesses, but own them, and create more of them; resulting in employment of individuals in the communities.

Introducing Brian Jay aka Brian D, the 21st Century Social Media Maverick

Brian Jay aka Brian D

Brian Jay has a solid resume. He has traveled the world with the Navy, he has educated himself at different schools: Connecticut School of Broadcast, University of Phoenix, and University of Maryland University College.

Optimistic by nature few would see or understand his tenacity.  Brian Jay has no problem Chanting his dream, "I love listening to the radio. I actually have the same one I carried everywhere I traveled around the world...
[While he was in the Navy Brian got to see England, Spain, Italy, Australia, Dubai, and Singapore]
I love the Contemporary Hit Radio format!
[Top 40 or Pop Radio] Z100 is the place I dream of working one day soon. if that don't work out there is a new radio station in NYC called Now 92.3 FM! My main goal is to work with dedicated broadcast professionals in the NYC Market no matter the radio station or company." - Brian D
A picture says a thousand words 

Packed with energy and ambition, Brian D demands your attention and in many ways he commands attention. Being a people person, regardless how people feel about him, is a symptom of not only a leader, but a People's Champion! He is comfortable with who he is, he understands people. He knows he is unique and it will take a while for the people to understand him, but he has faith in them.

"Many are born with the talents to materialize the dreams, the methods used to materialize the ideas is the problem." - Me


You have to 'believe' in yourself and make it happen

Confidence is heart and skill and I must say, the man has heart. Everyday he promotes his work, with star quality. All it takes is for the right person or people, to see his potentials.
Brian D could to many be way over the top, some of his phone pranks are LONG.. but that is something a producer(s) will solve and that is what he needs,
"a great producer[and a girlfriend]"
at this point.

He has the energy, the natural ability and the COURAGE
A lot of people speak on change but will not make, much less create.. the decisions by supporting the type of people that could and would produce the change they are interested in. 
say, if he has the heart and shows he is going to help the collective in anyway, even if he can only help himself to safety(or success), we lived another day.
"Everyone is looking for a 'Prince Charming' or nothing." - Me

Lisa Schraun Augusta "LadyOfHorrorEroticPoet".. The Bay Witch

Genesis...
Schraun Augusta, born October 25, 1971, in Oakland, California is definitely a unique soul. Her childhood was rich with wisdom and pain but she learnt to channel her experiences into artistic pieces, that should have seen light, decades ago.

Understanding...
The mid 60's up to the early 80's produced a unique generation[Generation X] that was raised in a period, filled with great change, and challenges. 'Generation X', inspired by the 'baby boomers' [described as the 'shockwave' and 'the pig in the python']wanted change. Not only did they desire change, but they wanted it in realtime.

Cultures blended wars were launched drugs were experienced.. Leaders that were loved to death.. and mysteriously assassinated. Races mixed classes unified for a cause, causing a rebellious orgy of unrestrictive, thoughts/ideas. Fueling a new consciousness, laws, systems, organizations.. A New Spirit(Re-Birth)!!

Many fought and died for new ideas, realities:


Kennedy Fitzgerald Kennedy Assassinated November 22, 1963

El-Hajj Malik El Shabazz(Malcolm X) Assassinated February 21, 1965

Martin Luther King Jr. Assassinated April 4, 1968


R.I.P


Make Love not War...
The youth, women and minorities protested, wars.. racism.. established systems.. and experimented socially. Drugs abuse became a major issue.. Many returned from the war addicted to heroine. The exhausted souls completed the mission but the costs were grand. Organizations became gangs.. instead of rebelling against a system, the people turnt on themselves. 
Pushed from these wounds cameth a
Lady of Horror..




Revelation...
Because of drug issues in her household, Schraun[Lady
of Horror] felt she did not receive the needed attention in her early life,
"My talents was not recognized." Schraun parents had drug issues, and fell victim to the temptations on the streets. "My parents are both now fifteen years clean and I am very proud of them, but I wish they were there for me early on, to guide me because I am a screen writer."
When we look back into our lives we see how things could have gone differently, if certain things did not happen to us, we wonder what we could have become.
"My sister was murdered by my babies father.. that drove me to alcoholism" she continues..
"My daughter's having cerebral palsy is the only reason I got my CNA(Certified Nursing Assistant) license."
Being one with the pain is her reality, "The People say I write like a female Tupac!"
Tupac did say he got his game from Oakland.

One of the screen plays she wrote was based on a real life experience faced with her male cousin. They curiously entered into a satan worshipper's resident, recognized.. then immediately escaped the situation with superior street intellect, but In her writing, Instead of writing how they escaped the situation, she wrote on a fictional struggle.

Writing plays at 8 years old...
She wrote a halloween play in the third grade. It was a re-write of Charles M. Schulz, 'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.' She also played the role of Peppermint Patty. "My teacher was very pleased, my aunt was in the audience supporting me. Everyone loved it!"
The school play gave her confidence, "I admire Steven King's versatility, he writes and acts. Steven King and John Carpenter are my favorites" John Carpenter like Steven King, is versatile. He is a film director, screen writer, producer, actor and film music composer.

Schraun Augusta is as a poet she goes by the alias Lady of Horror. Lady of Horror is addicted to horror flicks, hence the name Lady of Horror. That is what she enjoys when she is not working on her projects.

To unveil the layers to her sweetness, you have to use your lower senses.
She loves the dark.

Away
"All I want to do is be near you, sex you like crazy.
Will you be waiting my love? I will cook dinner, with gravy.
All the time I will make you feel good, I promise.
for the bath will be ready, dinner and a very good night kiss."

With One Free Drink
Friday 6-9 PM



 We all know, there are a lot of people out here, speaking about social issues. The problems in the communities. The problems abroad nationally and internationally. Many speak on it but few have a trail, on the topic.

"I am a clinical case manager by profession.  I acquired a Bachelor’s of Arts, in Sociology, and have applied my education and practices to helping various populations in need for the past fifteen years.  In doing so, I came to realize that the same structure that was utilized for my consumers could also be applied in my own personal life and people close to me.   For example, as a clinical case manager, I would be responsible for assisting people with documenting their short and long term goals and working towards achieving them.  In addition, I would compose a scale of measurement (service plan) that I would periodically refer back to with the client until these goals were met.

There came a time in my own life where I was undergoing various adversities that I could not seem to conquer.  At this point, I literally took a blank service plan and decided that I was going to document every aspect of my life that required modification, and I was going to work at it from a case management perspective.

 In my service plan, I needed additional income, so I decided to join a health and wellness company, Warm Spirit.  This was a network marketing company. As a consultant with this company, one of my functions was to facilitate Pamper Parties with the clients.  I would do a variety of games and pamper treatments with the health products.  What begin to happen was that the ladies would ask me for information in various areas of their lives.  They would say, “Darlene, you’re a case worker right?  How do I get my mother….?  How do I register for …?  My kid needs….?  As a result of this, I begin to give referrals to my clients on a continuum.  Then one day, I said, I think I should host a women’s forum, where I will bring women together and share resources, establish networks, as per their adversities.  I wanted to follow the lives of these women for six months and assist them in elevating professionally and personally.  This was the beginning of Darlene’s Utopia"
