Not many know that the namesake of California comes from the legend of California as an island ruled by a Black queen, Queen Calafia. Over the past hundred years or more, artists have depicted Queen Calafia in a range of ways and in various media, from murals like the one at the Mark Hopkins Hotel to books of poetry, like devorah major’s califia's daughter.

Higgins' Aunt Devorah 'has a touch of the shine, a little bit of the inner eye'

If we go behind the name...

'Devorah - name of Hebrew origin meaning “bee.” The name features in the Bible and was the name of a great prophet and judge who helped produce an army and effect a major victory against the Canaanites.'

Things to think about: Zava calling himself a prophet, the focus on psychics & cosmic coincidences/intervention, Rebecca's Gucci bee watch, Ted paraphrasing Muhammad Ali 'float like a butterfly, sting like a bee'

Devorah Drops Exuberant Single “Fire Spinner”

Devorah has released her deep house single “Fire Spinner,” centered around a fire-dancing girl and how she embodies the energy and attention of those around her. Intertwining her practice as a reiki healer with her velvet voice and infectious beats, Devorah describes the track as one that is grounded in spirituality as the girl portrayed in the song is letting her love be expressed through her spinning hoops of fire. “Fire Spinner” is available to stream and download on all major music platforms. “Fire Spinner” is a lighthearted song fueled with affection and intensity, following a love story between Devorah and the fire dancer. When asked about the inspiration behind the song, she says, “I was enamored with a girl who spins fire, and the passion she exhibited while enjoying her craft was so inspiring to me, that I had to write a song about it. The song has a spiritual meaning, as roots are used to describe grounding in meditative practices.” Co-produced by Devorah and Kevin Cho (Ariana Grande, John Legend, Ne-Yo,) “Fire Spinner'' is brought to life by Devorah’s vocals, whose color and depth work in tandem with the bass-rich chorus. The track follows the structure of a classic EDM track: a verse, a pre-chorus that excitedly leads to the climax, and the chorus, which consists of a very laid-back, bass-heavy drop.

cont. from below....On Twitter account every night before going to sleep I would write love poem tweets to Lydia Hearst for many months. She finally blocked me and was busy dating many people. That twitter account was banned for multiple comments on same tweet to media and I started new account in 2014. This account. I was careful with using it as a book hopefully to be published one day as diary to my captivity. I am not obsessed with Lydia Hearst. I am attracted to Hearst Empire and the theory that I am victim of smart passive stalker alienated bubble by Symbionese Liberation Army drilling wells into Family. I have a framed copy of a magazine cover on my dresser with Groucho Marx and Lydia the tattooed lady. It deals with trying to escape captivity. So Lydia or Devorah or many media emails never helped me escape, and I am still captive with tons of theories. I still want to turn my online ramblings, Twitter, Facebook into books one day if ever get agent and publisher. Lydia married Chris Hardwick and is a subpar, totally underutilized talent in horror flicks, a domesticated housewife instead of global power player. I remember offering to make her a Queen of LouisIAna and building bridges to France & Italy and Latin America. I wrote my book Fleur De Lis and made Lydia Catalano an homage to her. If can make a movie maybe she can play Lydia Catalano and make jump to major talent. Still trying to build LouisIAna Empire.

LYDIA HEARST 2011 TERRY RICHARDSON

[kol-dmama-daka]

Suddenly, the older son phoned [me] and shouted that there had been an attack,” she recalled to Channel 12.

Paley said that when her son called to say there had been an attack, he did not know where his father or his two brothers were. She headed to the scene, quickly realizing that it was a major terror incident and that “my family is at the center” of it.

Her elder son, she soon found out, was lightly injured. A while later she was informed that her husband had been taken to the hospital.

“I understood that there were people killed,” she said, but she could not get any further information from emergency responders who had arrived.

“At a certain point, someone came up to me and asked me if I can identify a boy,” she said. That was her son.

While Yaakov Yisrael was confirmed dead at the scene, his older brother Asher Menahem was critically injured, only succumbing to his wounds the next day.

Devorah’s husband, who is still sedated and intubated at the hospital, does not yet know that his sons were killed.

The recording of Words of Liberation: The Exploration of Blackness through Poetry is now up on our YouTube channel! Two weeks ago the California History Section hosted its second Speaker Series event of the year with Dr. Kim McMillon, co-editor of Black Fire – This Time, moderating the conversation between two poet laureates: devorah major (of San Francisco) and Robin Coste Lewis (of Los Angeles). They discussed how their poetry has used words of liberation to empower and heal and how it acknowledges a history of Blackness that needs to be celebrated and told.

Music Genre: She’s kind of all over the place when it comes to music. She just doesn’t really like country music that much.

Movie Genre: 🤠 Westerns, she ironically really likes westerns. It’s probably because those were her dad’s favorite movies too & it was how they bonded.
