Raymond’s Run‚ a short story by Toni Cade Bambara‚ was an anticlimactic story that I strongly disliked.

THE VODOU PRIESTESS: MAMA LOLA I found Karen McCarthy Brown’s Mama Lola to be an innovative and intimate “ethnographic spiritual biography” exploring the lived realities‚ material and immaterial‚ of a Haitian Voudou priestess and her family in New York City from the late 1970’s through the 1980’s.

These values‚ if you will‚ are in which our decisions come from. If it has a high value then it is worth taking notice of and worth doing something about.
