December "All-in" Reading month
2024-12-01 - 2024-12-31 | Trendsetter Barbershop & Salon, 2039 North Green Acres Road, Fayetteville, 72703, United States
As we set our hands to warm gloves and our feet to thicker socks, we at Trendsetter Barbershop and Salon want to encourage our young readers to stop by and grab a few resources this December month as many will find themselves indoors, out of the cold and finding a warm spot on grandma’s couch.

Come grab a book and get a few paper items that we think will be just what you need.
We are always wishing our young minds to stay creative, crafty, and sharp! Reading is something that we know opens up the imagination and draws on the footsteps of creativity. We will see you at the book library!

Keep turning pages,
Angela Flake

Spoken word piece for Class of 92' meetup
2024-10-12 18:00 - 23:00 | Fort Smith, 1400 South 6th Street, Fort Smith, AR, 72701, United States
I was able to share memories, friendship, and fellowship with my graduating class of 92 this month. It was such a blessing to embrace our now as we all begin our journey on the other side of 50! What a journey it has been. Here is the poem that I shared on my social media. We didn’t have a microphone, 🙂 so I chose to opt from sharing it that night. So thankful for our journey:
What does a reunion look like?
It’s laughter while catching up-
It’s forgetting you have kids but passing around pictures on your phone.
Its making room in your mind for memories that you couldn’t recall on your own.
It’s being here in this moment with others, yet still knowing some have gone.
It’s breathing and making it last.
You are here-
Its breathing in our fellowship, making it last-
making it good.
For our time has yielded many things in this lifespan. Some you held on to for these 32 years-some things you just couldn’t understand.
We realized how complex things can be. You have seen weary days and friends by your side.
Hard places we could never explain yet the song “Lean on me” has its place —on display for us to see!
Whitney Houston said “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all,” we look around —50 years kind of seems so small.
So tonight, we laugh and share memories of our past.
Pass around old pictures, hug the necks of homework buddies, football mates, afterschool detentions friends, telling your best friend if you don’t hurry you’ll being late for your class…
Tomorrow is not promised so this I dare ask…cherish moments…make them last.
We are what we need. To love, encouragement, strength, endurance, and joy… we toast to the hope that gives us peace.

2024-02-27 09:00 - 10:00 | AR
I and another book author Darnesha Airhart enjoyed this time. Thank you, Tigers!
It was a morning filled with walking the halls of my former elementary school thinking back to when I was 10yrs old. I got to hang out in three classes full of 4th and 5th graders who really taught me a thing…or two! They were funny, intelligent, engaging, vocal, talented, (I did a duo with a few rap sessions) and so much more. Coming back home meant everything to me.

Summer Reading!
2023-06-01 - 2023-08-01 | AR
Will you make sure you are getting that reading in this summer? I sure hope so!
I have a book titled: For Black Writers… by Aliona Gibson. Its a book on how to write, publish and market your first book.
I also thought it would be good to read my own books this summer. Yes, honey! I am at a place of wanting more from myself with writing and needing to get a clear understanding on which direction I should go. Sometimes embracing what you have can be just what you need to stir up some good ol’ motivation. Well…that’s my thought on it at least! 🙂
So, stay in a book and keep your mind and inspiration on what matters: Your journey of Purpose!
