Shemsi, I would definitely recommend you hear that sister present her work; if only for the fact that she would be able to elaborate or answer particular points, interactively with the audience.

I have always said that some of the greatest Africans on the planet live in the USA and regardless of the gross contradictions (oppression), history has created for our people there, Africans like Ani, continue to make significant contributions to our liberation struggle and knowledge of self.
