Debunked Sophia Stewart vs. The Matrix story still circulates web

In November 2009, some web-based news sites erroneously republished outdated (and inaccurate) articles from 2004 claiming that Sophia Stewart had won her case.

As said at the beginning of this article, when she later had her day in court, Stewart was absent. Read the full story’s debunking at Snopes.com.

The African-American Books Examiner leaves room for a shadow of doubt in Stewart’s favor, but as a writer herself who knows the challenges writers face, she would tell Stewart if you get knocked down, stop dwelling on what could have been. Stand up, move forward, keep writing. Show the world you have more in you than what you think you’ve lost.

While The Third Eye, Volume I was published as a book in 2006, it’s four years later, actually more than 20 years if you consider when Stewart says she wrote the short story and the world has no more work from the Mother of the Matrix, and we’ve heard no more from the author/paralegal. In this era of self-publishing, where is Volume 2?

Yes, some in the black community have jumped high to champion Stewart and readily believe whatever conspiracy theories are presented on her behalf, but if you want to nourish her as a black writer, a better message for Stewart all these years later would be this one: Stop being known as the victim of theft. Get back to writing and publishing. Start being known as the creator of fresh visions, new stories. Prevail by the pen!
