I just went on a much need trip to Europe, visiting France and England. I’ve been to Europe numerous times, but for some reason, on this trip I was more reflective. As usual, I stuck out like a sore thumb; not because I was American and not because I was Black, mainly because I was [...]

The photo of President Obama in the White House’s Situation Room with top administration officials gives us rare insight as they watch the Navy Seals raid Bin Laden’s compound and eventually kill him.

Over the weekend, I participated in the EIF Revlon Run/Walk For Women in support of two of my friends that are battling cancer. Outside of prayer, I wanted to assist them in some way so I signed up for this five kilometer walk and was able to raise $500 for cancer research and outreach programs [...]

Posted in Uncategorized on May 1, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
President was absolutely hilarious at the Correspondents’ Dinner! He came out to Hulk Hogan’s “Real American” theme song and welcomed his ‘fellow Americans’ and said that he hoped to put the issue of his birth certificate to rest, but if there were any lingering doubts, he is releasing his official birth video, which was the [...]

Only on 125th Street… Will you walk by the Cingular store with two 20 inch speakers out front blasting Mobb Deep’s “Pearly Gates.” Will you get hit on in three different languages… Will you see a spanish man salsa-ing with himself Will you see a man singing Nat King Cole’s “Unforgettable” on congo drums Will [...]

EVERYONE knows I have a niece that I’m absolutely in LOVE with, named Shelby… I call her my ‘mini-me’ because she looks like the 5 year old version of me (smile)… anyway, a few months ago I was doing my best convince her that she was going to attend Spelman by teaching how to say [...]

Call me ig’nant but I didn’t think it could happen… no seriously, I really didn’t think it was possible for someone my shade of brown to get burned by the sun! I was an outdoor/water/sun in my face child. You could always (and still can) find me barefoot and half neeked somewhere sitting in the [...]

I went to my first Zumba class this weekend and I LOVED it! My friend’s gym had a ‘bring a friend’ night so I went along and initially I was a little nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. I had heard about Zumba, but I never really inquired too deeply about it because [...]

We all remember the summer of ’98 when we were kickin’ it on some basketball court listening to “Everything is Everything” blasting from a boom box or the on again off again guy we rocked with when we sang along to “Ex-Factor” or the around-the-way girl we smirked at when “Lost One’s” popped. It’s fair [...]
