The Champion From Within
Because I’ve been a bit busy, a large part of me wanted to wait another week before I wrote another blog entry. Yet, for some reason my message seems to be too much of an important reminder for me not to take a moment to reflect and just get out there. Besides, like plenty of […]
It’s Really Happening: Tyler Perry As Alex Cross
June 26, 2012
Remember a year ago when I expressed a nervous concern about Tyler Perry being picked to play the suave detective Alex Cross, a creation of fiction and thriller masterminding author James Patterson? In case you didn’t read or may skip the hyperlink above altogether, my concern wasn’t about Perry’s skills or harsh criticism of his […]

June 7, 2012
Hello! While I’m not an entertainment or a gossip writer sharing the latest juice – actually I’m kind of stingy with juice so says a friend of mine in Miami – I do have some updates and thoughts to share so lets get started. Erykah Badu has something to say about the controversial video for her […]
Bitches In Bookshops
April 21, 2012
Thanks to my virtual girl Butta, I had to share this. I saw this video posted on Facebook and I died laughing. The video is truly a bookworm’s anthem and I have to give big props to the two young ladies who put it together; La Shea Delaney and Annabelle Quezada. Their video has already […]
The Ballad of D.C. Plays On: Still The Last Plantation (Edited)
December 5, 2011
EDIT: Leslie Green from the D.C. Office of Motion Picture and Television Department reached out to me for a correction. While Mayor Gray is meeting in New York with television execs he didn’t send the below memo as described to CBS. The memo as described is a satire piece created by City Paper staffers. Thanks […]
The Fraud That Is Shakespeare?
October 28, 2011
So it’s Friday, and that means it’s opening night for a few good movies coming our way. One that maybe of particular interest to literary nerds is the movie Anonymous. The film is a semi-biographical flick, or in the words of its director Roland Emmerich it’s a “political thriller” about literary great – who is […]
PSA: An Author’s Warning About Triple Crown Publications
October 9, 2011
Spending late nights and early mornings writing, researching and checking emails seems to bring on interesting finds. I took a moment to check my inbox and found a video message heeding a warning about an independent publishing company. At first I thought this was the run of the mill type of thing where an unsuspecting […]
Ticky Tacky or Slowly Coming Undone But Ok….
July 26, 2011
So, I’ve written and rewrote this post countless times. Each time felt exhausting and it was obvious, I wasn’t ready to write or share with the world yet. In trying my best not defeat myself in this task I opted to record a video blog a couple of nights ago. Side bar: Please excuse the crappy […]
Lyrical Matter: Living With No Regrets
June 27, 2011
Somehow I’ve found myself intrigued by French singer Edith Piaf. My fascination started thanks to the movie Inception; which I absolutely love and wish that I wrote it!!!! For those that know the movie you know about the term “the kick” or “kicks.” Basically it’s the term the characters used for the process to wake […]
Because She Told Me To Write
May 16, 2011
With last week being a bit rough on a personal note and on the writing front, listening to Jill Scott recite poetry was a good way to have my thirst quenched. Last Wednesday Jill Scott, along with Common, Rita Dove and other poets participated in an evening of poetry at the White House. Despite the controversy […]
