What Black Men Think: An In Depth View of Myths, Stereotypes, and Misrepresentations

What Black Men ThinkIyago Entertainment Group Presents

What Black Men Think: An In Depth View of How Myths, Stereotypes and Misrepresen- tations Render Black Men Non-Necessities in Their Communities and Families . . .

In the most provocative Black film of the year, Janks Morton presents a searing examination of the role myths, stereotypes, and misrepre- sentations have played in the decimation of modern era black relationships, and how the symbiotic relationship between government, the media and black leadership perpetuates misinformation to further marginalize the role of black men in society.

Since the triumphs of the civil rights legislations of the early 1960s havoc and decimation has been wreaked on the Black family with a specific devastation on the Black man. With negative imagery of the media, the failed policy of the great society and modern era black leadership abandoning tenets that historically held the community together, a new form of mental slavery has perpetuated an undeclared civil war in the Black Community . . .

Just Who is Jane Musoke-Nteyafas?

Here's what Mr. Gerald Businge said about her in his review and interview first published in July 26, 2007 on ugpulse.com. To read his review of, and interview with, Ms Jane Musoke-Nteyafas, click here.

Today, Jane is a recognized poet, author, visual artist, playwright and soon, you will be listening to music from Jane. While you may think growing up in a multi-cultural environment might make one lose their identity and sense of self, Jane, who was born in Russia, lived in Uganda, France, Denmark, Cuba and currently resides in Canada has taken every advantage to grow into a better global citizen. Jane is an inspiration to many people, especially those looking for what to do to earn a living or wish to look at themselves more closely, identify and utilize their talents as well as know and love themselves (positively) as the best person there is.

Who is Jane Musoke-NteyafasJane believes the best way to empower oneself is through education and self-love, which she has given herself in adequate amounts. Many people think that to be special and to achieve success in life; you need to act like a celebrity. Jane, however, says everyone is special and can achieve what they want if they set their goals and t
argets right, and put themselves in the right frame of mind. This applies to beauty too, a major area of her works.

Interviewing Jane makes you think you are talking to an interesting professor. She gives perspectives on world trends, personal development, and exudes a positive self-image. You find yourself hanging onto her every word as Gerald Businge found out in an interview with Jane recently."

Family Crest Takes Flight

When they started out as Backyard Bluegrass in the 1980's, Dennis and Sue Amon's band included their children, Corey, Kelly, Kim, and Casey. Not one to sit still, this family band could be found playing their hearts out at charity events, bluegrass festivals, family parks, churches, and campgrounds.

In 1994 Sue and Dennis formed Family Crest after the children grew up and went on to pursue their education at their universities and colleges. However, as Sue and Dennis ventured out on their own, they vowed to keep the values of the family band first and foremost.

With the help of Vic Mullen, they recorded their first CD in 1996. Their three CD's have sold a combined total of over 10,000 copies at their live performances. Originating in Nova Scotia, they have played hundreds of venues over the years in the Maritimes and New England.

A song writer, Sue recorded some of her songs on their gospel CD. When asked, "Why was the name, Family Crest, chosen?", Sue enthusically responded,

"Just as a family crest represents who you are, our music represents who we are. Our music is played from the heart and our original songs give the audience a glimpse of our lives and beliefs."
