Month: November 2018

Cyber Monday Is Here!

Now that we’re all fighting off those lingering calories from Thanksgiving weekend, it’s time to start the holiday shopping deals. So, it’s only fitting that I have some special deals for Cyber Monday online shoppers. I am very excited about the third installment of my novel series, When the Cookie Crumbles. I will be sharing […]

Lessons From Broken Glass

Last week, I heard about a story on the news of a neighborhood restaurant robbery. Honestly, the fact that the robbery was near me was what made me even pay close attention to it. A 28 year old male decided that it would be a good idea to break into a restaurant early in the […]

25 Years of Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg has the kind of career longevity that most artists dream of. November 23, 2018 marked the 25th anniversary of his most prolific album to date, Doggystyle. This comes right off the heels of him recently receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Although his subject matter may have been gangster related […]

Mariah Carey: Should We Proceed With ‘Caution’?

I guess we can’t quite call it a comeback. After all, Mariah Carey has been here for years. In fact, her career has been so prolific that she has recently been nominated in the 2018 Songwriters Hall Of Fame (along with Missy Elliott). She’s arguably the biggest selling female artist of all time. Her range […]

A Toast To Brennivin For The Win

Thanks to great friends who travel in far away places, I tried a new drink this week. She was hosting a book club meeting for my novel, Fortune Cookie, and it was her recommended drink of choice. It’s called Brennivin. You may have already heard of it before, especially if you’ve been to Iceland (where […]

Swizz Beatz Releases His Poison

Kasseem Dean, a.k.a Swizz Beatz, has kept a relatively low profile for the last few years. Now, the hit maker behind songs for Beyonce, DMX, Eve and of course, Alicia Keys, is back with a vengeance. His latest album, Poison, was released at the beginning of the month. Many fans and critics wondered aloud if […]

The Seventh Time Is The Charm

Today is always a nostalgic day for me. However, it’s extra special because it marks the 7th anniversary since the release of my first book, Blurred Vision. I still remember the jitters I had right before the book came out. I didn’t know if people would understand it or like it. Many people have told […]

It Takes A Mixed Bag Of Fools

I recently saw the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, which detailed the rise (and at times, fall) of the rock band, Queen. I must admit that I have never been a huge fan of the group. However, some of their biggest hits are inescapable. Honestly, I don’t know anyone who dislikes the movie’s namesake breakout hit, “Bohemian […]

I Used To Know H.E.R. Too

H.E.R has almost remained completely anonymous her entire career. Her (no pun intended) first body of work was H.E.R. Volume 1. Since then, she has released three more EPs. Her face (which is rarely seen without her signature dark sunglasses) is smooth and picturesque. Her hair is full and curly; unruly even. Ironically, her physical […]
