Comment on Giveaway: Who is helping to give out half a million free books all across America on one day? I am. by Bonnie Buchanan

My favorite poem by Maya Angelou is “Phenomenal Woman” (‘Cause yeah, that’s me *sly smile*)…this poem makes me proud, it makes me laugh, I hold my head up just a bit higher, it makes my full lips turn up in a knowing smile, as I revel in the truth of the times when my womanly whiles served me best, This poem puts a Fire in my belly, for I turn to those that would beat me down, those that would try to make me Less than I am, and I RAGE–every ounce of strength in my body coils like a cornered animal and shouts!! ” I WILL”..”I WILL NOT GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT”, “I WILL NOT LET YOU! Who stand outside of my being..DETERMINE MY WORTH!!”..if this be MY LAST STAND, MY LAST BREATH, though I know that whatever you choose to throw at me, I CAN and I WILL OVERCOME”, for look to all that I do, just by being myself as a WOMAN!!, so This is your only warning, “HEAR ME ROAR!”, for I WILL spin your head so fast, I will mesmerize you! I will drip you in sweet honey or I WILL conquer you like a Mountain turned into an anthill, for I AM A WOMAN, and I AM used to adversity, for it is the stuff I sup on from My Mother, and My Sisters, and I WILL Not Only LIVE and breath and Get Past and through ANYTHING I MUST, but I WILL do it with the Grace, that ONLY A WOMAN CAN”..that is what “Phenomenal Woman” says to me! *smiles*

A very happy ending to a sad situation. Bless Muses, the Stompers, the Elvi and everyone else involved.

I have lived in New Orleans for 12 years and had the pleasure of having Ann and Ashley be my tenants in my upstairs apartment. Through them, and Frenchie, Ashley’s mom, I became a huge fan of Muses and what they stand for. In just a few years This parade has become the premier parade for everyone. I believe it’s more popular than many of the mega parades. The ladies are true ladies and throw some wonderful throws. What a wonderful thing these ladies are doing for this child. Ladies, I am so proud of you

I’m not a vegetarian, but I promise it’s pretty good stuff.

Yes it would’ve been GREAT for someone away from home being that it was always such a warm, family type vibe.
Mr. Jerry, the mood was always just right!

Sorry I didn t get a chance to visit this place. Sounds great, especially for someone away from home and may be missing family. Will certainly consider visiting the new restaurant.

Great article but I had no idea they were ending the juke joint! I only went once now I wish I would’ve gone more. I hope the new restaurant opens soon I’m gonna make it a point to go to it. Nice pic too
