Greetings,
My name is Tahir (dead prez producer). I have a music series called “The BlakkBerry Filez”. I have released 5 volumes from this series in 2009 and scheduling volume 6 release for the new year. The vibe is revolutionary and responsible hip hop. If possible, I would like my work to be reviewed on your site. For my songs, videos, and more info go to http://www.TahirRBG.ning.com. If you need anything sent to you (songs, pics, bio, etc.) just let me know. Thanks for your consideration, time, and (hopefully) response.
Peace! – Tahir

Dear Drew,
My name is Barbara O’Brien and I am a political blogger. Just had a question about your blog and couldn’t find an email—please get back to me as soon as you can (barbaraobrien(at)maacenter.org)
Thanks,
Barbara
Hi Drew, I’ve just discovered your blog this evening. It’s challenging. I see we have a good deal in common. I’m a UK based Anabaptist (member of Wood Green Mennonite Church, London). I taught Liberation Theology before that. I’ve added you to my blogroll, so look forward to keeping in touch. Shalom, Phil Wood
Looking forward to connecting!
Tell Jon Pahl I said Hi!
Will do… I’m taking a class with him this semester!
Drew
You have a e-mail where someone can reach you directly?
Drew: Just found your blog from the article on Franconia Conference’s website. Looking forward to reading more of your work. May I have your email address? Would like to share some background info to the Twitter note about the Mennonite and Quaker anti-slavery document.
Hi Drew,
My name is Mzwandile Nkutha from South Africa. A friend of mine -Andrew Suderman told me about your blog, so I took time to peruse your work, it’s very interesting. Well, to cut a long story short, I am part of the Anabaptist Network in South Africa (ANiSA) and will be starting my M.A studies in the US this fall (2014) at AMBS – Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary. The degree is on peace, ethics and theology, one of the things that I would like to explore is what it means to be an Africa Anabaptist, so your term: “Anablackism” is helpful, perhaps I can borrow the notion and use a different nuance “Anafroism”. The merging of liberation and black theology within the framework of Anabaptist tradition is what fascinates me. So, I guess a political Anabaptist theology for Africa is needed.
Well, the other important thing I wish to convey here is the possibility of connecting with you, perhaps when I am in the US later this year. My email address is: nkuthamzwandile@yahoo.com
Greetings Mzi!,
Glad to here you are interested in #AnaBlacktivism!! I was also delighted to hear / read about the possibilities of AnAfroism. Sounds great! Drew has been instrumental in changing the conversation between Black theology and Anabaptism.
I, Rod, have written an AnaBaptist manifesto and if you haven’t already, you can take a look: Anabaptist Theology & Black Power: An #AnaBlacktivist Manifesto #Anablacktivism | Political Jesus

I would also recommend reading the 20th anniversary edition of James Cone’s A Black Theology of Liberation and specifically at the end, the critical reflection written by Rosemary Reuther, and her reflection on feminism, Black theology, and South Africa. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts.
