Welcome to Fantom Island, where iLL-Literacy's legend finds its habitat. If you've happened upon this portal, may we be as bold as to assert that nested in you is a healthy curiosity. Whether you were drawn here by the Slanted i at this page's 1-o-clock, the quick flash of during loading, or simply because you have a click-happy finger – you've arrived. HihowRUhi?
The peculiar thing about Fantom Island is that it is but a mirage – an Imaginary oasis isolated in the confines of our brainwaves. We shall gradually reveal morsels of our folklore here, so please visit often. To return, simply bring your Imagination as your passport.

SUNDAY SERMON: Afeni Shakur
We’ve been in NYC for half a week and it’s already been popppppppinnnnn!! Certainly, having the rest of the crew with me has made this easier, but I do miss Cali. A lot. But one of our homesick remedies has been the continual bumpage of Tupac‘s album Don Kiluminati. It reminds us of how powerful a young artist can be in transforming the world.
Even still, a much-overlooked hand in this is Afeni Shakur. Her primary introduction is often “Tupac’s mom,” and as magnificent of a title as that is, it doesn’t encompass the influence she has made in her own right. Here’s a speech she made for the establishment of the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts. The rest after the jump.
