Anyone that knows my back story knows how far I’ve come. In fact, it humbles me when people take a look and see what I’m doing and feel inspired in some way. Constantly I’m receiving compliments on how they admire that I’m doing what I love. I take the compliments in stride yet I always… [Read more…]

Up late… listening to The Streets. One particular cut took me back to something I wrote exactly five years ago. The song still has that same memory lane affect. Now and certainly then.

Every so often I check out some of the programming on WPFW (89.3 FM), a local listener supported radio station (that can also be heard on the web). Last night I listened to Ill Street Grooves, an hour-long program that divulges and indulges listeners with underground and classic hip hop music. Despite the fact that… [Read more…]

I was introduced to Frank A. Bryant a little over a year ago. The more I talked with him, the more I realized he is on a mission and perhaps it’s a mission that’s not even by his own choosing… well at least not initially. Fascinated by his story I pitched a local publication, East… [Read more…]
