OMG!!! This guy is doing something about a topic that has been brought up here on the show the past few times we were on.
I dont want to give it away but.... its really amazing. It will bridge the gap between fake indians and real ones in the mainstream entertainment business!!!
Native America's First hip-hop sensation Litefoot debuts his video "Im'ma Problem" today. As one of our peoples greatest allies the song delivers what is real and the truth, "This aint 9-5 the mission is what I live".
This evening at 9pm EST 'The Hoop' Radio Show with "ME, Neyom Friday" will be interviewing Shaunya Manus.
Whatever you do 'DONT MISS THIS'!
Shaunya is co-owner of Viewfinder Production Inc. The company produces an extraordinary calendar full of Native American men. The kind you can have sweet dreams about.
All the woman...and a few men had soulglo this evening. I was panting, wanted to cry and completely stunned by this man.
I coulda swore someone was gonna step out and start singing "He's your king to be, a vision of perfection".
The performance by John Legend was spectacular. You couldnt want or imagine more.
"An object of affection".
He was playful with the crowd. Took some lucky (pbfft) girl on stage. It was divine!! The entire place had a great time. If you havent seen him, GO! He's a timeless artist who connects with the people. And...So......well, you know.
And the wondefully talented India.Arie was like an angel on stage. Her voice alone was divine. She is a brilliant live preformer.
The Hoop Radio Show invites you to listen conversation/interview with Carla Rae on July 8, 2009. 9pm EST.
Call-in Number: (347) 884-8769
This proves to be more than interesting for a number of reasons.
Not only was she 'Susanna Ridge' in the Trail of Tears episode of the PBS Native American series 'We Shall Remain' she is extremely FUN to talk to!!!!!!
So use the call-in number freely to speak with her. Or me : )
It never fails that when a new Native American movie comes out we have to wait for months to actually see it. Luckily you can buy this now. But still....
When will it ever be possible that a Native American movie will be debuted (like Dances with Wolves) with the rest of the movies that hit the mainstream theaters? Like, who do I have to contact to complain about this to??
ALSO, Two Words! Russel Means. American Indian living legend. I start to pant when I think about him and the work he's done. I must've read 'Where white men fear to tread' like five times.
I have a thing for these early american indian civil rights leaders. Vine Deloria Jr., Floyd Red Crow Westerman, and John Trudell, another living breathing institution. Not a groupie 'thing' like I wanna throw my panties at you when I see you. Just a deep respect and admiration for what they endured so the Native Americans of today can have a better life.
BUT THE MOVIE!!! Its always great to see a new native movie. Especially when you cast beautiful (Tamara Feldman of Gossip Girl, IMBD says shes Cherokee) native people in it. And who doesn't like a compelling, gripping love story.
Rez Bomb may still be doing a screening tour so check @StevenLewisSimpson on Twitter for updates.

A birthday party held at LIV in Fontainebleau for Rasual Butler was live!
I would love to have last nights resident DJ's play my birthday tour.
Tons of sexy people and no drama. I had a BLAST!
Happy Birthday Rasual, Here's to another year of health, prosperity and peace. May every day bring you joy. Live everyday content. My warmest wishes to you, Neyom
I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw Michael Jackson cast actual Native Americans for his video 'Black or White'. I appreciated not seeing a stereotypical image.
I felt that it helped alleviate the under representation for Native American's in Film and Television.
So today...finding out that this child star, icon, the King of Pop was dead it was surreal. Unreal was my first thought via Twitter.
Good, bad or indifferent, its a loss everyone is reflecting on.
Thank you for the music. Thank you for the videos. Rest In Peace.
As a proud Native American I wish to express my deepest sympathies to the Jackson Family and the children he left behind.
