The No Curse Tour
"STOP CUSSIN!"by Tonya E.
WHY YOU SHOULD STOP CUSSIN!
First we would like to thank you for being brave and accepting the commitment of making a change. You will now be given some
powerful revelations as to why you should not Curse(Cuss)! Have you ever took the time to ask yourself your reasons for using
Profanity or even Cussin? If you have, but couldn't come up with an answer, well, let me be the first to enlighten you, "STOP CUSSIN!"
Cursed :
1. The invoking of evil on a person; the evil inflicted
2. An invocation of evil, oath(hate): profanity
3. An affliction; bane
4. Call down evil upon; swear at profanely
5. Blaspheme
6. Harm
Now after reading six definitions of this one word lives on the tongues of many from young to old, it's makes you wonder how one can
grow in a positive direction when the one they're in communion with is constantly CURSING them in many forms. We all have been
told we are what we eat, well the next time you speak think of how you feel after cursing at someone. It has been proven that second
hand smoking is bad for your health, is it safe to say that polluting the air and ears of the young is just as bad?
It's time to STOP, RESPECT, and HEAL each other through our conversation. STOP CUSSIN will do everyone good. Try to replace your
#%!% with the name of a fruit. If you dare cuss, remember you're calling down evil upon one. This is a ministry and movement to save
our younger generation from falling further into the darkness. It's time to get them back into the light.
The answer to why the world in under a CURSE :
2 Timothy 3:1-5 (1) But mark this; There will be terrible times in the last days, (2) People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,
boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, (3) without love, unforgiving slanders, without self-control,
brutal, not lovers of the good (4) treacherous rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, (5) having a form of
godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
Please be advised that the N-Word is related to Profanity. Listen to someone conversation that uses the N-word and listen to how
profanity is soon to follow. Words are very POWERFUL! Become conscience of what you speak, and see how your environment will
improve. Help the movement/ministry by thinking before you speak. Respect our children and the elders in your present. Most of all
RESPECT YOURSELF!
Bio : Birth given name Tonya Ellington, born and raised in the Bronx, New York. At the early age of 2 years old
Tonya was dancing. Being that dancing was a given talent she utilized her skills whenever she heard music that
suited her soul. As a freshman in Harry S Truman High School in the Bronx, she was introduce to music in the form
of singing in the school chorus and guided by the respectable music producer/manager Dennis Bell. Dennis Bell
managed Doug E Fresh at the time. In 1986 Tonya Ellington was noted on the record as the creator of the drum
beat idea of the song, BARNYARD BEAT, by the then rap group Mickee D. & the Thru Crew.
After graduating from high school Tonya E. began to get her feet wet in the entertainment field as a dancer. In the
late 80's and early 90's paying dues was a must in order to get anyone to respect your craft. As a dancer/promoter
she have worked with such artists as Mary J. Blige, Buju Banton, M.O.P., Chubb Rock, R Kelly and a host of others.
She also formed her own company titled, T.M. TopPs Entertainment and began to conduct demo shopping,
management, street promotions, and acting .When something was to be learned Tonya was there. Tonya has
always had an eye for scouting real talents. Tonya E. wore many hats then as she continues to do today.
In 2003 Tonya hosted and produced the public access show titled, "Icons, The Legends of Hip Hop," which was
aired in Atlanta, Philly, Chicago and New York. In early 2005, she also produced and hosted her short lived radio
show, "Tell It Like It Is" on 1240 AM in Long Island, New York.
In the Fall of 2005, Tonya states, that God blessed her with another mission. Today, people are hearing about that
mission and it's titled, "The No Curse Tour!" Tonya E. is working hard to help the youths to change their way of
living and it starts by the way they think and speak. With this project she is determine to get rid of the poison that
has fed into our communities through the music and televison shows. The foundation of life starts at home, way too
many youths are not being raised by responsible parents. Some are being raised by strong will parents, however,
somewhere down the way, their children are being influenced by the bad seed.
Now it's 2006, and Tonya E. is well-known and a well respected woman in the entertainment industry. As a single
mother of one son, she strives to make a difference in every community around the world. With all the sleepless
nights, paying dues, and learning from the professionals she is ready to share with everyone the do's and don'ts of
being in the entertainment field. Tonya recalls when growing up a child had to stay in a childs' place, today, children
are able to step outside their place too much. Too many people fought for our rights and it would be a shame to see
their struggles go down in VAIN.
Tonya E. a.k.a. Miss Right Now can speak on her issues because she lived it. Today, she is ready, willing and able
to change the lives of many youths, just by saying, "STOP CUSSIN!"

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY
"It is not your environment, it is you-- the quality of your mind, the integrity of your soul,
and the determination of your will that will decide your future and shape your life." - Dr.
Benjamin E. Mays
To Whom It May Concern,
African Americans deeply concerned and cognizant of the erroneous ways of
our black brothers and sisters who use the n-word, your help is needed in
efforts to eradicate a debauched, 300-year-old mind manipulation process.
This mind set has been embedded so profoundly into the African American’s
subconscious that we are not even aware of its undermining effects.
Too many of our black brothers and sisters suffer from a psychological
phenomenon accurately described as ni**aholism. These individuals,
ni**aholics, are addicted to a word that has captivated their hearts, oppressed
their minds, and shackled their optimism, motivation, for more than three
centuries. They are lost in a tumultuous sea of confusion: Addicts are blind to
the destruction and adverse effects this word precipitates in their lives and
others they encounter. As a result, they remain dazed and unreceptive to the
calamity and “self-drowning” caused by using the n-word.
Others of us can see, in plane view, the disarray unseen by addicts; we have
found our way through the darkness. And if we are to rise up collectively to a
new state of mind power, us enlightened ones must reach back, grab the
hands of those still blind and stumbling in the dark, and lead them into the
light. Yes, they will hostilely resist and sling profane terms at you—maybe
even hurl physical blows your way—as you strip away a piece of their comfort.
But you must persevere despite these reactions.
As addicts come to understand the domino-effect demise linked to this word,
they will eventually understand your position and its relevance, and the
importance of discarding the idiom. You know that your efforts are purposeful
and will help a whole race of people, one by one, reach their true promise.
This goal may take years to accomplish; this is why the enlightening process
must begin now. The first step in the process is introspection: We start by
looking at self.
What do you see when you look into the mirror? Do you see someone who
can WALK the walk, and not just TALK the talk? Someone who thinks beyond
self-survival, and can commit to group survival, which, at present, is virtually
non-existent within the Black community? Someone ready, willing and able to
help plant positive seeds into the hearts and minds of our youth—seeds
earthed in self-respect, pride, dignity, and honor, that will blossom
unprecedented blooms of self-worth into their essence? Someone who
believes saving one child from the negative, psychological influences of the
demonic n-word is worth the effort?
On the contrary, when you look in the mirror, do you see a “talking head”? A
“talking head” is a professional talk the talker, one with no substance who
adores the attention and thought of becoming active in the movement, but
cowers when it’s time to do what he/she said he/she would do, actually walk
the walk.
As you determine your position, decide whether you are a harbinger of the
WE CAN’T mentality or a bearer of the WE CAN mentality. We can be held down
by our own weight or rise collectively on our own wings. The choice is ours to
make. The ignorance that pervades our community is an albatross that must
be removed. We are hanging ourselves by continuing to nurture and permit
this inferior mind state—inactively pursuing the movement (the “talkers” and
apathetics) contributes to the demise of our African-American community.
Because the n-word is severely entrenched in the hearts and minds of our
community members, some minorities believe that we CAN’T affect change,
the feat is too impossible to overcome. If you own the victim mentality—
hopeless, helpless, and defenseless, then, yes, you are and will remain a
victim, and will not effectively combat this problem. However, nothing is
impossible, and for every problem, a solution exists. We must adopt the CAN
mentality, believe that we can affect change, make relentless strides toward
uprooting the negative mindset and cast it into an unforgiving sea of waste.
Anti-n-word movement success will require the energy, support, and
commitment of all African Americans. The burden no longer rides on one
individual’s or organization’s shoulders. Each of us contributes to the goal
individually, but we must realize that the duty belongs to us, the African-
American race, collectively. WE must come together and fight for OUR self-
respect, dignity and pride. WE must re-instill that which was stripped from us
centuries ago, OUR heritage, culture, and morals.
Let us show solidarity, make plans and think on higher levels as a combined
mind force to experience greater good in our African-American community
and American society. Distinguish yourself from n-word users. Take a stand,
and help deliver your loved ones, relatives and friends from the jaws of
mental enslavement. You, as an enlightened African American, own the
necessary artillery to exterminate the mass ignorance encompassing use of
the n-word.
We must be eager and determined to improve mentally, morally and
spiritually. Our humanity, identity, heritage, and sense of being must be
restored after a 300-year hiatus. Continual identification to the n-word has no
place in this endeavor.
