R.I.P. Donna Summer

LaDonna Adrian Gaines (Donna Summer) was born in Boston, Ma on December 31, 1948. Her love for music and performing shown through, even in the early years of her life. She was musically influenced by such powerful houses as Mahalia Jackson. Later on she began to imitate the sounds of Motown coming up with a "supreme-like" sound with her sister and cousin in her home town performances.


 She began her career as a character in the musical Hair in Germany. After being featured in a couple more european musicals, in 1973 she began performing in the group  FamilyTree.  "The Queen of Disco's" first album, Lady Of The Night, was not an american release although it found small success on the European circuit Later in 1975 she released the better known single "Love to Love You Baby" Which found success in the UK, reaching the Top 5. In 1976 it reached #2 in the Billboard Hot 100. She is most memorably known for her hits "I Feel Love","Heaven Knows", "Last Dance", and in the 80's "She Works Hard For Her Money." 

This musical Diva was known for her powerful vocals and memorable lyrics. Donna defiantly has influenced many of the female pop singers of today. Her contributions to the genres of Disco and Pop made her a legend and a Queen in her own right.


On Thursday May 17, 2012, Summer died at her home in Key West, Florida after a long battle with lung cancer. With open and hearts and prayerful minds we hope that her name and spirit may rest in peace.

The Queendom Presents: Nova Kafele (Burch) and Nu Kmt Spiritual Learning Center

Nova Burch is a MTHR of 3, founder of NU KMT SPIRITual Learning Center. Which is a home home schooling experience. When asked where her passion from homeschooling came from she replied, "My passion for homeschooling is so strong! The reason for this is because I am able to feed my Children what the SPIRIT and the ANKHestors guide me to enabling them to have a strong foundation in who they all which will all support their life journey and purpose."

When she was asked how homeschooling had benefited her personally? She answered, "Homeschooling has benefited me personally because I can be home or anywhere with my Children and teach. I don't have to worry about anyone manipulating my children's MINDS or causing them any harm. They also eat well, get all my hugs, discipline, and nurturing all day everyday! I also learn much from them, they help me make major decisions in Our Family's direction. They are my TRUTH!"

So I'm sure your interested in knowing what Nu Kemet Spiritual Learning center is and how it is different from any other homeschooling curriculum? "NU KMT is a online, unschooling learning management system which covers course study from a SOURCE or ANKHcient Khemetic perspective. Which enables students to be assured in right and supreme knowledge concerning ma'ath, lANKHuage, cosmogony, nunology, health, physiology, KMTstry and more. We also feature MIND, CONCENTRATION and FOCUS activities for Our Students. We often emphasize that the importance of NU KMT is to organize all homeschooling families and support this modality of learning and culture. So that our own learning centers/orders may be built and be accessible physically everywhere." Nova Kafele (Burch) is a passionate, driven, and wonderful model of what a strong Queen can accomplish when she puts her mind to it. In order for us to establish culture, morality, and security for our children we must begin to take their education into our own hands. With our support we can all dream Nu Kmt's dream together and secure a bright future for young black/original/african/melanated children every where.
