Selene Dreams’ letter to sponsors

Selene Dreams’ was inspired and is motivated by men and their love of women. Martin Luther King Jr. speech “I have a Dream” and motivated by Malcolm X, as both men praised and loved women and they taught me the importance of being a woman. They backed the action of Rosa Parks who refused to give up her seat. Hence my search my personal struggle to find out “What does it mean to be a woman?” There are other men in my life who have made me think, and challenged me, Rabbi Hausman who removed the “original sin” from my shoulders. Louis Hall, of Kahnawake, introduced me to Kanienkehaka women and their spoke contribution. Men have been guides and opened the door the world of women as they taught me about justice, the importance of looking at myself in the mirror and most importantly be a powerful and decision maker WOMAN who seeks equity for all.

Women are not decision makers in Quebec, or Canada. History has never been inclusive. The greater population does not know their history. History as told is an epic story of war and it is written by the victorious one. The one who has won the war; hence it is all about conflict and not about conflict resolution. History, repeats itself over and over and no one reflects or challenges officially this cultural trend.

Yes, history repeats itself; in 1763 two men George III King of England and Louis XV King of France partitioned the colony linguistically and religiously. In 1867 two men John A McDonald and George Etienne Cartier decided and the needs of the dominion. In 2008 two men Bouchard Taylor decide the fate of the future of Quebec. History repeats itself as it is always two men one of British heritage one of French heritage that are decision makers. Hence, the spiritual need to have a publishing company and a bookstore that reflects the reality of life from the beginning of the colony to today. The Bouchard Taylor commission did identify of some problems such as ignorance on the part of the general population about people from various backgrounds and ethnicity, hence, the need to include all voices. Education is the key to respecting ourselves and others through an honest and open debate about the root of intolerance and the seed of systemic racism that has polluted the air we breathe and the world we live in.

I am asking for your financial support any donation big or small will go towards opening a publishing company and a bookstore that will reflect us all, Our Bookstore “BOOK STOP” will offer books that make us think, reflect, ponder and take action.
