- About Me:
- Poet, Author, Singer, Community Activist, Exhorter, Mentor and Inspirational Speaker with just a little Comedy thrown in the mix.. These are just a few of the words that have been used to describe or introduce me, RuNett Nia Ebo (Gray). I have been writing poetry for more than 45 years. What started as a therapy for me, also became my way to minister to, and motivate others. It is my lifelong passion.
I attended a Catholic Elementary school, Wagner Middle and Olney High School in Philadelphia. While attending Clark College (now Clark-Atlanta University), I was given the name "Nia" which is a Swahili word meaning “Purpose.” My peers said that my poems held very poignant, political, thought provoking, inspirational messages that were read and heard by many in school and out.
Over and over I got used to hearing different people say, "I don't like poetry but I like yours." My goal is to continue to write poetry that makes you think, laugh, cry or want to get busy. "Lord, Why Did You Make Me Black" is my signature poem and since it's publication, I am often introduced as the "most bootlegged poet in the world!"
I enjoy sharing all of my work in schools (all levels), churches, correctional institutions, rehabs, retirement homes and anywhere else God sends me. My signature poem has opened many doors for travel and I hope to do more. I also have spiritual/inspirational message bookmarkers and bracelets.
I am into my third year of hosting a poetry venue called POET-IFY: Poetry to Edify, offering those who like to share or listen to poetry a place where they can hear a good word without all the bad ones.
I am blessed to also be the manager of a Gospel and Jazz Ensemble called MTM Band. We have a special ministry, Sunday J.A.M. - sharing music, songs, poetry and the Word of God at various retirement homes in Philadelphia. We look forward to visiting other countries in 2009.

Disney- They Didn't Get It Then and They Don't Get It Now
Greetings all,
Disney didn't get it when I was growing up and they still don't!
After Jasmine and Pocahontas, I thought Disney finally had a light-bulb moment!
In case you haven't heard, Disney has finally come up with a princess of darker hue in response to a question that was put to them some time ago by a concerned mother who took her daughter to Disney World. After seeing Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel; her daughter asked why there wasn't a princess who "looked l… Continue

It's Time for Change It's All About Respect
Namaste everyone!
We have a new President! The forty-fourth President of the United States of America is an African-American! It is a NEW DAY!! It is time for Americans (no matter who they are) who had the wrong image of African-Americans to see us in a new light. I transitioned through the 60's finally realizing and believing that Black is Beautiful and that I deserved respect. Some, who have never experienced disrespect, do not know what that means or why many (over 50+) got so e… Continue

Hello,My name is Kenya and..I love meeting new people and building long lasting friendships. I'm also a LifeStyle Entrepreneur with Soul Purpose and would love the opportunity to introduce you to these phenomenal products as well as a wealth building opportunity that will simply amaze you! Soul Purpose LifeStyle Company, which was founded by Nadine Thompson (Former CEO of Warm Spirit) is simply a PHENOMENAL ground floor health & wellness co. These holistic products are set apart from all others, so you can work this business along side any business!
I've been studying the all natural for many years and have been taken back by what I've learned. We are slowly but surely poisoning our system to the point of no return if we don't get educated and get educated FAST! So this has also become a crusade for me to share what I've learned and put into place in my own life!
Since I've started using the Soul Purpose products & doing the business, my life has changed... I can't wait to get up in the morning and get my day started....From their body care, to their vitamins, which have given me so much energy, to connecting with people doing presentations/seminars and HAVING FUN in the process!
I've attached an opportunity presentation link below to listen at your leisure:

Have a wonderful Day!
