Welcome To The Fountain
Katina’s desire with her content, events and music, whether in person or virtual is to provide safe spaces to foster wholeness for Black Women and other women of color in order to create opportunities for healing, connection, creative expression, culture, and spiritual growth. This is the center of Black and other women of color, our voices, experiences, and legacies. This is a collective space, a blog, to imagine God inspired possibilities for ourselves that are beyond the realm and weights of marginalization and oppression.
This is The Fountain.

Black Requiem Impressions
“I’ve never had such a release of emotion like I had listening to the 3rd movement of the Requiem. I was crying like a baby, I couldn’t help it. Each movement within the song, comes with its own set of stories, and emotions, but each and every one is black. Unique to us, our struggles and in a way that only we can fully understand and comprehend. The level of pan, anguish, rage, and lament expressed in this song is something that can only be fully understood by us. She made this for us.”
Black Requiem Impressions - Sharifa Stevens, Writer
We grieve daily the Black people murdered in this country; the constant scroll of hashtags; the desensitization to our murders caught on video and spread with macabre zeal, the way postcards of our lynched dead were casually sent through the U.S. Mail.

Rest and Otis Redding
I met with a few of my sister friends this past Saturday. We started meeting routinely over a year ago just to encourage one another and tend to each other’s joys, dreams, tears, and healings. The spirited conversations and boisterous story-telling triggered songs that would pop into my head.
