Addressing contemporary issues affecting us today

The purpose of this website is encapsulated in a prophetic narration that advises:

“Whoever amongst you sees an evil, he must change it with his hand. If he is not able to do so, then with his tongue. And if he is not able to do so, then to hate it with his heart, and that is the weakest form of faith.”

Ta-Nahesi Coates makes a similar elucidation about writing as an art form:

“Art was not an after-school special. Art was not motivational speaking. Art was not sentimental. It had no responsibility to be hopeful or optimistic or make anyone feel better about the world. It must reflect the world in all its brutality and beauty, not in hopes of changing it but in the mean and selfish desire to not be enrolled in its lie, to not be coopted by the television dreams, to not ignore the great crimes all around us.”
