Yellow Self-Existing Star
Rising Moon –
Dazzles like
Another Sun
Lift silently
Your silver
Gown
Above the velvet
Sky
Stars hang
Faint and
obscure
Before your
Majesty
Time and Tide
Are your Domain
–
Your Beauty
absolute
Lady of the
evening Light –
Quiet Queen
of Night.
Sadye Beatrice Curry
Sadye Beatryce Curry (born 1941) is the first African-American woman to become a gastroenterologist in the United States, and the first African-American to do postgraduate studies at Duke University Medical Center. Curry was born the youngest of four and raised in Reidsville, North Carolina, where she was educated in the public school system and graduated high school in 1959. She attended Johnson C. Smith University and studied biology and chemistry, graduating in 1963. Curry then attended Howard University College of Medicine and graduated in 1967, with postgraduate education at Duke University and the Washington D.C. Veterans Administration Medical Center. Her internship and fellowship in gastroenterology at Duke made her the first African-American resident there. While a resident, Curry researched liver transport and bile acid metabolism.
After completing her training in 1972, Curry became an assistant professor at Howard University and was chief of medicine at Howard University Hospital; she was promoted to associate professor in 1978. She was a founder of the Leonidas Berry Society for Digestive Diseases, an organization for people of color with careers as scientists, surgeons, and gastroenterologists named after Leonidas Berry, the first African-American gastroenterologist. She was also the first woman to serve as chair of the National Medical Association's internal medicine section.

LAMAT
Kin 108: Yellow Self-Existing Star
I define in order to beautify
Measuring art
I seal the store of elegance
With the self-existing tone of form
I am guided by the power of flowering
I am a galactic activation portal
Enter me.
With practice one can discipline oneself so one's spiritual nature becomes more evident.*
