[Re Defining Destiny Living In Oneness].



Promoting literature and art is a joy for Kolayah and he has been active in this effort for a several years or more. After writing his book of Prose poetry; MOUTHSWIDESHUT, Kolayah and his wife, LaShawn, developed Quiethouse Culturetainment in the spirit of culture, entertainment, history, and love for self. We feel the need to revive the art of poetry, spoken word, story telling, self expression and enlightenment specifically in our community and surrounding areas.

As an observer, Kolayah has met many wonderful and diverse people who have a voice yet are cut off from expressing due to oppression, ignorance, or fear. "Everyone has a story (a measure of wisdom) and their story deserves to be heard".
Literature, art, and music awareness are important to our expression. We must keep these three at the forefront especially in our homes. In this society, adults and children are always on the go. While pushing ourselves to the limit, let us not forget the creative person inside.
ONEVOICE is a conscious movement presented on behalf of all of us. This is the total essence of the �Oneness� consciousness.
We are all universal-one verse-One Voice!
