Meet Dr. Rev. Ahmondra McClendon, Interfaith Minister and author of "The Uncrowned Queen Reclaims Her Throne - When a Black Woman Breaks Her Silence." I had the pleasure of meeting Ahmondra inside the Green Tent at the Parliament of the World's Relgions. Ahmondra's powerful work gives all women permission to break the silence and speak on what we were told was unspeakable. It's time to end the legacy of silence, write new narratives and create new legacies.

This 8-minute episode features Hanna Yaffe and songs from a CD she compiled with wartime lullabies from around the world. “I want to emphasize the universality of lullabies. I want to emphasize our shared humanity.”
Hanna Yaffe was born in London to a Rabbinic family. She has lived in Plymouth (UK) and Sunderland, studied in Gateshead, lived in Johannesburg, South Africa during the height of apartheid, an experience which shaped her into a humanist and spiritual activist by the age of 19. She moved to Jerusalem in 1975, where she is deeply involved with arts and culture as a means to Peacework. Hanna has frequently shared forums with Muslim and Christian storytellers, touring around the UK on the "Spirit of Peace Tour" with Sheik Ghassan Manasra and she is the Jerusalem Co-ordinator of Spirit of Peace UK based charity. Hanna has produced three CD's including the one featured in this episode: "Birth in a Time of Bloodshed", a collection of lullabies from around the world written in time of war, exile and slavery. Our interview was in August. Hanna said on Oct 17 from Jerusalem. "My heart is breaking for all the people who are hurt, wounded... the innocent people who are being bombed, the people who've been taken hostage - it's all too much. I try to be a PeaceMaker... I want to be a PeaceMaker. The flame of hope has to keep going. We have to believe that the flame of peace will come." Her prayers are for All. |
