Summer Blossoms. Acrylic on Canvas. 14 * 18. Afrika Abney

Summer Blossoms, abstract finger painting created on canvas using colors that represent the Summer.

I recently had one of my abstract paintings featured on the cover of a book and the painting is entitled: Summer Blossoms. It is entitled: Kaleidoscope. For more information about the book, contact Esther Productions, Inc at estherproductionsinc@gmail.com.

In 2022, I have implemented over 30 new strategies. As a consultant, I would say that I have received numerous feedback on my effective strategies. Each strategy was uniquely different for each event that I provided and offered services. During the pandemic which began on March 9, 2020, I provided and offered all of my services online. I had to ensure that each service that I provided was effective and successful. This was challenging for me because I was used to providing services for in person events hosted by Esther Productions, Inc and BZB International.

I had to completely revamp all of my services online as a result of the restrictions and precautions revolved around the pandemic.

I provided services for the following events that were hosted by Esther Productions, Inc and BZB International. Among them include NRW 2022, Soaring Sisters Circle, Whatever Happened to Daddy's Little Girl? Unraveling the Mystery; Healing the Pain; Growing the Personal Power, Kaleidoscope, 4th Annual Essay Contest, Inside Job Writing Workshops, Discovering Me Summit and Awards Ceremony, and 30th Annual BZB Gift and Art Show. Additionally, I provided services for Father's Day Conversation with Jonetta Rose Barras and DayEight Writing Camp.

Therefore, I want to thank everyone who has offered some form of support and interest in my overall background and work as a consultant. And, thank you to everyone who supported, Esther Productions, Inc and BZB International.

If you would like to stay updated to see what's new, please feel free to contact me at afrikamabney@gmail.com.

Thank you very much. I hope that you have a safe day.

Happy Holidays

Cordially,

History of Malcolm X Park in Washington, DC

According to my research, “Malcolm X Park, located in Washington, D.C., is a significant public space that carries a rich historical narrative intertwined with the civil rights movement and the African American experience. Originally known as Meridian Hill Park, this area was established in the late 19th century and was designed in the Beaux-Arts style, featuring cascading fountains, statues, and expansive green spaces. Over the years, the park has served as a gathering place for various community events, protests, and cultural celebrations, reflecting the evolving social dynamics of the neighborhood and the broader struggles for racial equality in the United States. In the 1960s, the park became a focal point for civil rights activism, particularly among African American communities. It was during this time that the park was informally renamed Malcolm X Park, in honor of the influential civil rights leader Malcolm X, who advocated for black empowerment and social justice. The pa...

Active Listening

“The best listeners convey their confidence in the other person.” Being quiet and listening fully to what the other person is saying without any judgment, bias and prejudice. Quote found on the Internet The best listeners convey their confidence in the other person by truly focusing on what is being said, rather than thinking about their own response or interjecting with their own opinions. This level of attentiveness shows respect for the speaker, validating their thoughts and feelings. It also fosters a sense of trust, as the listener demonstrates that they are fully engaged and invested in the conversation.

This kind of active listening allows the speaker to feel heard and understood, leading to more meaningful and productive discussions.
