"Speaking Truth to Power"- Dezie Woods Jones; Vice Mayor and City Council for Oakland, CA & President of Black Women Organized for Political Action ( BWOPA)
Dezie Woods Jones, at 79 years young, is a strong example of a profound community activist yesterday and today. Dezie offers encouragement to speak your truth, to find time to be an activist within your passions and learn as much as you can about our world with travel. (after COVID has calmed down of course )
Mrs. Dezie, or Mother Dezie as Dezie's daughter calls her, is the strength for young women in politics, who have been directly affected by the broken parts of our American History. With the strength of her mother and father, organizations like CORE, as well as working alongside US Representatives such as; Maxine Walters, Dianne Watson, Barbara Lee, and her inspiration she drew from Amy Garvey, the wife of the famous Marcus Garvey of UNIA (Universal Negro Improvement Association).
Mother Dezie has embraced her fate to stand up for the rights of those who feel voiceless or are fascinated with politics. We often lack the knowledge of the strength and solidity that comes from a strong woman who had to fight for herself and for those who did not have the support. Dezie Woods Jones, an influential woman who wears many hats, was just the kind of woman that many young women needed as a mentor in politics and just life decisions. Fighting for civil rights is definitely one aspect of her legacy but her current fight for her passion in guiding young women who are seeking their rightful place on the political stage. I was blessed to meet and speak with such dynamic and instrumental women for her community and especially black women in politics and really for her whole community. I hope you enjoy my interview with the President of BWOPA ( Black Women Organized for Political Action) and former Vice Mayor and City Council of Oakland, CA. She is also a woman who has paved the way for many younger women to follow. I am grateful she took some time to talk with me and share a little bit of her power into my ears and yours to listen. Enjoy today's episode on Black Women in Politics with Dezi Woods Jones.
An analysis of Becoming Michelle Obama
Emily Bronte' and the analysis of Wuthering Heights, the first wave of feminism and the love/passion of the characters; Catherine and Heathcliff
A literary analysis of the Gothic/Romantic Novel written by Emily Bronte'. The connection of the single novel written by a young literary artist during the Victorian Period and the pre-feminist period. Two years prior to Emily's book, that was originally a flop, the proto-feminism wave had begun, and soon after Wuthering Heights would be a novel considered throughout the ages.
Charlotte Ballet.org states the following examples of Withering Heights in Pop culture;
"Though the novel is now considered a literary classic, Emily Brontë did not receive such praise at the time of its publishing. Wuthering Heights shocked the public, and critics mentioned it could not have possibly be written by a women. Being rejected by publishers, Brontë had to self-publish the 1847 novel and use a male name, Ellis Bell, as the author. The next year, 1848, she died at age 30 from tuberculosis, thinking that her book was a failure."

"The first “bad boy” of literature | Author, Christina Bartholomeo’s states Heathcliff is an unforgettable archetype and “is the original “bad boy”; without him, so many great bad boys of literature might not exist, from Dracula to Jay Gatsby to James Dean.”
The Twilight Series – Eclipse | Stephanie Meyer, the author of the popular Twilight Saga novels, drew inspiration from each book in the series from literary classics: Twilight on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, New Moon on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Eclipse on Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, and Breaking Dawn on A Midsummer Night’s Dream. here are also many allusions to Wuthering Heights in her novels. Bella says it is her favorite novel and is worn out from reading it so much. In Eclipse, Bella and Edward both compare themselves to Catherine and Heathcliff of Wuthering Heights, as the love triangle between the two and Jacob relate to that off Catherine, Heathcliff and Edgar.
Special Guest, Ella Han from Beijing. Ella will read a poem that she wrote in reflection to the poetry Emily Bronte has written as well as her famous novel, Wuthering Heights. I will give a brief analysis of the love and passion that Bronte builds to cause friction, revenge, resentment, love and passion with the theme of the story, the four seasons. How would you compare each of the love relationships to one of the four seasons? Please take the time to view the website where the Bronte Parsonage Museum shares the literary legacy of the Brontes. https://www.bronte.org.uk/about-us

An analysis of 1984 sharing direct quotes from the text by George Orwell, analysis points from Litcharts. and a shared clip from BBC news, https://youtu.be/EuVYvkdTYWc
Clip from "Pattern Integrity Films" speaking; George Carlin
Manipulating the past, creating fear and hatred out of nothing, and wiping out the existence of individuals; reality control once been applied will demolish people’s freedom. In 1984 Oceania built a dictatorship of totalitarianism. The party rules with fear, brainwash, and manipulation. History may be regarded as truth from the past, but it sometimes can also be a means to convey ideology or patriotism in modern society. If the government wants their citizens to remember a defeat in history that was shameful they will write accordingly in the textbook, so the next generation can hold the same agreement. The extreme measure of manipulating history is described by George Orwell as reality control in the book.
