PEARadigm: |
| Quite the
activist and the humanitarian.
When did you start becoming
involved in the various causes
you have taken to heart? |
|
|
|
Lynx: |
I’ve always
been concerned about world
events and my community but
about a year and a half ago I
realized that I had the power to
help bring awareness to
injustices or any situation that
is not positive or healing for
our hoods and communities or the
world. I may not have the money
to back and support these causes
but I could lend my signature
and my voice. I would like to
think that my efforts have
helped bring awareness to the
crisis in Darfur, The Jena 6,
and I have supported Justice for
Sean Bell.
I am currently looking into
helping to bring awareness to
one of the most horrific acts of
wildlife cruelty I have ever
come across Bear Bile Farming. A
friend I made on myspace brought
it to my attention. Thanks Joe.

about please go to this link

I must warn you it is very
disturbing. If you feel moved
then pass the info along,
raising awareness is the first
step. I also am against wearing
fur, I recently saw an ad for a
major furrier and the ad
mentioned that there were fur
coats available up to a size 10
x. What, Que???????!!!!!!!! I
always appreciate when fashion
recognizes the plus size but my
God do you know how many animals
have to be killed for a 1x let
alone a 10 x. Please my people,
FAKE FUR IS FLY; I wear it all
the time. My people take a
picture of yourselves wearing
fake fur and looking fly and
send it to
supersizespanishfly@gmail.com .
I am moved and compelled to
always remember our fallen
soldiers in the struggle, the
victims of 911, Vtech our people
in Iraq, the mothers and fathers
who fight for better education
for our children. With every
ounce of my being and every inch
of my massiveness I will always
fight for those who need help to
fight, to speak out and to
obtain support. I am the voice
of the everyday person. I will
only support causes that empower
and promote change and I will
support and defend those who
have no voice. One of my
listeners referred to me as The
Latin Ghetto Oprah and it has
kind of stuck with me. I don’t
think Oprah is such a bad person
to be compared to but no
disrespect, Move Over
Oprah…there is something
meatier!!!

You were/are heavily involved in
the Jena 6 Movement… can you
share with us the extent of your
efforts, and why you have been
one to champion this cause? |

Lynx: |
It was my
duty as a person of color, as a
mother of a mixed child and as a
human being. I first heard about
the Jena 6 from my friend Sugar
and when I googled “Racism in
Jena Louisiana” about two or
three articles popped up and I
was like “Oh hell, why did I
never hear anything about this
mess in the news” I was appalled
and I knew the people would feel
the same but they needed to know
about it first.
I presented the situation to the
owners of Eg radio, Ras and Myk
Jones and our blogger at the
time E. Simms and there was no
hesitation we acted immediately
and featured The Jena Six
injustice on our hot topics
segment. We added the links to
the Jena Six as well as the Jena
Six Petition to our blogs and
the response from our listeners
was nothing short of incredible.
Our listeners (450,000 strong)
came out in full force proving
what I already knew- Hip Hop
Unifies and day after day we
watched as the numbers on the
petition rose. We were even
featured in the November issue
(pg 18) of The Source Magazine
for being one of the first
online internet broadcast to
digitally bringing awareness to
the situation before it gained
national attention. It was all
thanks to a great team. And we
have not swayed, we still blog
and follow the situation and
keep the awareness moving.
