A Look in Our Lives: Mary J. Blige's My Life, the 4991 Series, and Black Women's Narratives As Working Cultural Memories - Ada New … ISSUE NO
2/25/2021 A Look In Our Lives: Mary J. Blige's My Life, The 4991 Series, and Black Women's Narratives as Working Cultural Memories - Ada New … ISSUE NO. 6 A Look In Our Lives: Mary J. Blige’s My Life, The 4991 Series, and Black Women’s Narratives as Working Cultural Memories Regina N. Bradley The initial inspiration for my critical dialogue project The 4991 Series stemmed from fleeting moments of nostalgic recognition that some of my favorite albums and films were turning twenty years old. The string of pivotal moments from 1994’s year in black music paralleled my own coming of age story growing up black in the 1990s. While select anniversaries have been discussed at length – i.e. Nas’ Illmatic album – little attention focuses on staple moments from 1994 produced by or featuring black women. TLC’s CrazySexyCool, Mary J. Blige’s My Life, Aaliyah’s Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number, Da Brat’s Funkdafied, and Brandy’s Brandy are major milestones in popular music that update the trajectory of black women’s narratives in American culture. Thus, the premise of The 4991 Series is to highlight these albums as entry points for discussing late 20th and 21st century race, gender, and identity politics. A Breakdown of The 4991 Series Production Process Aesthetic Influences The 4991 Series exists as a crux of public space, race, and popular scholarship. Perhaps most unique about this project is the intentionally unorthodox approach to scholarship and archive – the loose, conversational style of the interview/dialogue format is meant to reflect the unorthodox if not messy experiences of being black and female in a deemed postracial era – post everything? – society.

Regardless of the textures he chooses to bring to a recording, he says that “in some ways, nothing has really changed since The Beatles. It’s essentially done the same exact way. It’s just easier now in the sense that you can have one person do everything on a laptop. Even that really hasn’t changed the way music is put together.” Mokran barely envisioned the course his life would take when he came to DePaul. Initially recruited to play soccer, Mokran eventually left the team to pursue music full time. He never regretted his decision. “The first day I walked into the School of Music, I heard the amazing level of musicianship from the students, and I thought, ‘This is definitely the place for me.’” From taking classes with leading professionals to participating in impromptu jam sessions with his peers, Mokran remembers, “There was always something going on.” As a guitarist with his own band making demos on a four-track recorder, he seemed Mixing It Up With Peter Mokran, headed for a career on stage rather than behind the scenes.

A Rising Star Falls
A Rising Star Falls http://elsegundousd.com/eshs/bayeagle/features/september/aaliyah.htm A Rising Star Falls Many inspired by her music were shocked Saturday August 25, to hear the tragic news that Aaliyah who was only 22 had died in a plane crash. It was hard to believe that the one true artist and actress that everyone loved so much was gone. Many thought that it was a rumor, but when the truth was told, it struck them hard. Junior Will Parker said," When I heard on the news that Aaliyah had died I was surprised and shocked." Aeliyatte(Aaliyah) Haughton was born in Brooklyn, NY, Janurary16, 1979. At the age of 5, she moved to Detroit. She began performing professionally at the age of 9. By the time she was 11, Aaliyah was singing with Gladys Knight, her aunt, in Las Vegas. Before finishing high school she released her solo debut, 1994's Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, which went platinum. After marrying her producer R. Kelly, Aaliyah retuned in 1996 with her album One in a Million. Aaliyah was widely known for her talent as an actress and a singer. With songs such as "One in a Million" and "Try Again", she became a big hit. Aaliyah was featured in the Anastasia soundtrack with "Journey to the Past" and also in the Dr. Dolittle soundtrack with "Are You That Somebody." Her third album Aaliyah debuted at #2 after being released two months ago, but after six weeks it had slipped to #19, however, due to her fans support, her CD is back on top at #1.

MAKE YOUR GIFT TO CHILDREN’S COUNCIL Alejandra and her daughter Aaliyah, NOW: www.childrenscouncil.org/giveback age 1. When Alejandra Iraheta came to Children’s Council in 2007, she was in a desperate situation. A lifelong Mission resident and a single mom, Alejandra had lost her full-time job during her pregnancy. She and her six-month-old daughter Aaliyah were living with her sister. Alejandra had a part-time job at a coffee shop and was enrolled at City College, but she was having trouble focusing on school and career goals because of difficulty finding quality child care for Aaliyah. “When I was growing up, my mom was single too,” says Alejandra. “She had so few resources, she couldn’t afford child care… I remember spending a lot of time alone watching TV. I wanted something better for my daughter, I wanted her to have all the educational experiences I did not have.” Alejandra wanted so much more than day care. She wanted her child to experience nature, learn academic skills, become independent and learn to get along with other children. “I knew the kind of child care I wanted for Aaliyah, but I just could not afford it.
