M.I.A, Bad Girls from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo.
British singer-songwriter M.I.A.
She re-worked her song "Bad Girls" that was first included on her mixtape "Vicki Leekx" to use it now as the lead single from her new album.
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well
Live fast, die young
Bad girls do it well (x2)
My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the dashboard
My chain hits my chest
When I'm bangin' on the radio
Get back, get down
Pull me closer if you think you can hang
Hands up, hands tied
Don't go screaming if I blow you with a bang.

About the Artist: Nshira
Daniel Akortia signs his paintings as Nshira, which means blessing.
He is a native Ghanaian and was born in 1979. After finishing secondary school in 1998, Daniel attended Art College for three years, pursuing drawing, painting, textile design and graphic design.
In his own words "I live in a world of my own, and therefore refuse to be drawn from real life. I concentrate on drawing my personal visions."
Many of Nshira's paintings can be found in private homes and collections, art galleries in Ghana. He also exhibits his work at national and international art fairs.
Daniel says "My aim is to depict the history and culture of Africa as it really is, in the true colors of nature. After completing college, I have spent all my time painting. I mainly use bright colors, and my paintings are often like decorative patterns of abstract expression."Want More from this Artist?

IGNORE EVERYBODY and 39 Other Keys to Creativity
A Book by Hugh MacLeod / @gapingvoid
1. Ignore everybody.
2. The idea doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be yours.
3. Put the hours in.
4. If your biz plan depends on you suddenly being “discovered” by some big shot, your plan will probably fail.
5. You are responsible for your own experience.
6. Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.
7. Keep your day job.
8. Companies that squelch creativity can no longer compete with companies that champion creativity.
9. Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb.
10. The more talented somebody is, the less they need the props.
11. Don’t try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether.
12. If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you.
13. Never compare your inside with somebody else’s outside.
14. Dying young is overrated.
15. The most important thing a creative person can learn professionally is where to draw the red line that separates what you are willing to do, and what you are not.
16. The world is changing.
17. Merit can be bought. Passion can’t.
18. Avoid the Watercooler Gang.
19. Sing in your own voice.
20. The choice of media is irrelevant.
21. Selling out is harder than it looks.
22. Nobody cares. Do it for yourself.
23. Worrying about “Commercial vs. Artistic” is a complete waste of time.
24. Don’t worry about finding inspiration. It comes eventually.
25. You have to find your own schtick.
26. Write from the heart.
27. The best way to get approval is not to need it.
28. Power is never given. Power is taken.
29. Whatever choice you make, The Devil gets his due eventually.
30. The hardest part of being creative is getting used to it.
31. Remain frugal.
32. Allow your work to age with you.
33. Being Poor Sucks.
34. Beware of turning hobbies into jobs.
35. Savor obscurity while it lasts.
36. Start blogging.
37. Meaning Scales, People Don’t.
38. When your dreams become reality, they are no longer your dreams.

ART + POETRY
Poem by Niya Holland
Lips full, tainted with rouge
Lips pursed, trying to decide what to say, what they should do.
It's not a ready-made attitude, that fullness you see.
These Lips stay closed more often than not. Please believe.
Holding in teeth and tongue, thoughts ready to be made vocal, and set free.
Yet I heard it's a gift to be a lady with lips like these.
They even market products just so others can have full ones like me.

POETRY
by Stephanie Danforth
My journey is filled with decisions I must make
Chances I must take
And For my mothers sake
I often revisit my childhood
One filled with religion and full of hope
She tried every tactic in the good book
But prayer is no match for the streets,
At least it wasn't for me
I tried to do right, I meant to be there
To make up for my own father not being there
But life isn't fair, As if they actually care
I was sought out by the man,
It's like they dragged me by my hair
Come with me and be my slave
A slave to the environment that we put you in
An environment that you can't escape
And when we're done with you,
We'll brainwash another
So is there really hope for the next young brother?

On May 2 1973, Black Panther activist Assata Shakur (JoAnneChesimard) was pulled over by the New Jersey State Police, shottwice and then charged with murder of a police officer.
Assata spentsix and a half years in prison under brutal circumstances beforeescaping out of the maximum security wing of the Clinton CorrectionalFacility for Women in New Jersey in 1979.
Due to government persecution in her own country, Assata moved that same year to Cuba where she now lives in exile.
Thankfully, she still writes and is able to share her expression with the world.
Affirmation
by Assata Shakur
I believe in living.
I believe in the spectrum
of Beta days and Gamma people.
I believe in sunshine
in windmills and waterfalls,
tricycles and rocking chairs.
And I believe that seeds grow into sprouts,
And sprouts grow into trees.
I believe in the magic of the hands.
And in the wisdom of the eyes.
I believe in rain and tears.
And in the blood of infinity.
I believe in life.
And I have seen the death parade
march through the torso of the earth,
sculpting mud bodies in its path.
I have seen the destruction of the daylight,
and seen the bloodthirsty maggots
prayed to and saluted.
I have seen the kind become the blind
and the blind become the bind
in one easy lesson.
I have walked on cut glass.
I have eaten crow and blunder bread
and breathed the stench of indifference.
I have been locked by the lawless.
Handcuffed by the haters.
Gagged by the greedy.
And, if I know anything at all,
it is that a wall is just a wall
and nothing more at all.
It can be broken down.
I believe in living.
I believe in birth.
I believe in the sweat of love
and in the fire of truth.
And I believe that a lost ship,
steered by tired, seasick sailors,
can still be guided home
to port.
