For centuries, Black Female Artist were scrubbed out of the art fraternity and as such lost fame and more importantly, fortunes by the powers that be at the time. Now, it is up to us, people with a conscience to fix the wrongs of the past. The arts in general and BFAs in particular, as described in this book, benefits not just individuals exposed to it, but the entire society by proving creative avenues to tap into our intellectual strengths and emotional feelings, thus impacting the masses and challenging the status quo. This book features over 500 BFAs or expatriates seeking to elevate the arts in some underdeveloped countries with their expertise, not only as artists themselves but by modeling art for others to learn from them. For reasons such as these, we need to support the arts and BFA artists by purchasing this book at https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/indiana-robinsonThe works listed are brought to you by InJa Ink PPP - People, Production, and Promotion, an art collective that aims to feature the artistic and literary works BFAs and other artists as well.

Indiana: As an adult, I have always collected Jamaican proverbs from as far back as I can remember and I thought it was time to issue a book of my collection but with a twist. My book is titled, A Collection of Animal-Inspired Jamaican Proverbs and Social Commentary, Infused with Songs and Artists. Of course, the twist is that it requires readers to fill in the animal blanks while enjoying a trip down memory lane with Jamaican songs related to the proverbs along with the name of the artist. The trip down memory lane for me was less challenging than it could have been because of my love for listening to old reggae music and I have a spouse in the reggae musical fraternity.Herma: I have a fascination with any utterance or literary device that requires some "working out" to get the full understanding or deeper meaning in the message being conveyed. Metaphors, fables, and apologies fall into this category, but proverbs are a favorite because they are shorter and often more striking in its effect. A proverb can sum up a situation so succinctly and so effectively, that no lengthy explanations or discourse is necessary. It is no wonder then that proverbs have been used in popular songs in Jamaica and other islands in the Caribbean.If however you also know your Jamaican songs from mento days to ska, rocksteady, and now reggae and all its many forms, you will do not just ok, but great. Let me not stop here. If you know the artists who recorded the songs, you will be in the best position to excel at this game!You might be curious as to why we focused the book on animal proverbs only. My interest grew out of working on my 20-plus children's book series Also, we as a collaborative always had an interest in proverbs as evidenced by two proverb-inspired social commentary books honoring the Pioneers' Reggae Group for dedicating 50 years to the Jamaican musical fraternity. The books are entitled: First Book of Proverbs and Social Commentary in and of the Songs and Second Book of Proverbs and Social Commentary in and of the Songs. In these two publications, not only did we expound on the Pioneers' songs embedded with proverbs; but we also added related proverbs based on the context of the songs.You can see readers, we managed to combine the two efforts, proverbs and music, into this one activity to confound your mind and get you going crazy in figuring out these puzzles. Enough of the chatter! Let's get this ball rolling and start those blanks-a-filling.

Readers may wonder what is my interest in Surrealism and its rebellious 20-20 (20 more famous and 20 less popular) women artists? Well, I took my first art history class at Broward Community College under the tutelage of Mr. G. I. Sullivan and never looked back. Given the historical times they lived in, where women were literally seen (in the artworks), but not heard of as the artist, only as the muse/model. As a result, we did not hear much about them. Before diving into who the women artists were, its best to trace the historical periods from ancient or the prehistoric period, through the middle ages, and finally present times. Bear in mind that the periods overlap and can reemerge (Artland Editors, n.d.; Sayre, 1997). Over the centuries, we learned of all the male artists. Names like Picasso, Dali, Rivera, and Hopper, as well as many of the more popularly known old masters like Rembrandt, Monet, da Vinci, Michelangelo, van Gogh, and Warhol that quickly rolled off our tongues. But what of the great female artists over the centuries? Do we know of them? The aim of the book is to have the great women artists' names entrenched in our memories and rolling off our tongues too. In this section, the book will also acquaint you with some of the these great artists (not Surrealists at this juncture), beginning with the renaissance period and ending with the twentieth century (Sayre, 1997). Surrealism is defined as an European cultural movement, developed after World War I in which artists depict "unnerving, illogical scenes and developed techniques to allow the unconscious mind to express itself" ("Surrealism", 2022) that infected artists around the world. The first volume of the book looks at a random sample the lives and works of Surrealism's 20 More Popularly Known (MPK) artists. Do you want to know who they are? Read on.

My spiritual journey reads like a personal biography and is quite fleeting and more like that of a wanderer following my nomadic upbringing. The purpose of this book is to share with readers my spiritual journey from my ancestors, real or imagined, in the Church of England, Spanish Town, Jamaica back in the 19th century; Alpha Catholic Chapel, North Street Seventh-day Adventist Church (and school), the Christian Congregation of Jehovah Witnesses, St. Jude's Catholic Church, St. Matthew's Anglican Church, Church of the Reconciliation (Catholic arm), Latter-day Saints (Mormons) and The Good Shepherd Catholic church (Portmore). I also interacted with non-denominational churches, and with radio ministries. It should be noted that I attended several other churches over my lifetime, but mostly in passing such as on vacation, as an invitee, or attending a christening, wedding, or a funeral. Hopefully, you will follow me as I traverse the ins and outs of divinity in my life. The book also contains historical artifacts on Jamaican churches during slavery and beyond.

Unsure of who you are and what stock you came from biologically? Too scared of what you might discover if you dive into the dark secret world of ancestry tracing?
