An Audio Visual Poetry Collection that includes poetry, photography, paintings from my "Art From My Womb" collection, and a few graphics; it also includes a CD of poetry and performances. It explores the intricate origin of womb oppression, addressing issues from a wombanist perspective, most importantly an afrikan wombanist perspective."One of the most beautiful, relaxing and sensuous renditions of African love I have heard. Listen closely to it and then listen again, and again and again..."-Raymond A. Winbush. Director, Institute for Urban Research. Morgan State Univrsity."Wombvoliushan is a trad through the world of one Black woman...""...she uses some of the rhetorical strategies of Dub Poetry with its heavy influence of Rasta language or dread talk, and the womanist strategy of womanizing words/worlds. Nzinga bends and twists the words of the slave master to create rebel words, revolution words."-Afua Cooper. James R. Johnston Chair, Dalhousie Univrsity, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
