Demin was all the rage last summer and the trend even made it over to this year! I’ve never been a huge fan of jeans, but I have found a few pieces that I fell in love with. Of course, both the dress and jeans have a bit of lycra, because I […]
While walking through Harlem, my guy and I stumbled upon Harlem Underground. They had t-shirts with our images already on them!!! Hahahaha! We got the shirts for around $42 each and they come in an array of sizes, colorways and cotton-grade. Up! Up! And AWAY!!!!
I initially saw this gown on Draya from BBWLA. When I looked around at online retailers, I knew the dress would never arrive in time for the formal that I had to attend. After getting quotes ranging from $400 to $500, I found an awesome seamstress in Queens, NY that charged me SIGNIFICANTLY LESS! My […]
This simple t-shirt and cutoffs look was inspired by my Hometown friend, Elliot Sayles. He came up with a line of tees that embody Memphis colloquialisms. Back home in Memphis, we use the word MANE interchangeably! It’s a person, place or thing….it’s a form of expression. Sometimes, it […]
I recently listened to a thought provoking Sunday Sermon at 1st Corinthians Baptist Church in Harlem, USA. The preacher was especially riled up! He exchanged his normal eloquent tone for a passionate, urgent and furious one. Pastor Calvin Waldron called the entire community to action. He employed his congregation to challenge the young people in our community, […]
This is a deviation from our usual Happy Friday post, but I felt the need to deliver the most current information on the Sandra Bland case. The stories are conflicting, brutal and confusing. While Bland’s family claims she had no reason to commit suicide, the autopsy has confirmed that Sandra Bland’s injuries were self inflicted. […]
I’ve had the longest day ever and it feels so good to be cuddled in my favorite spot, next to my favorite person. We’re watching our latest Netflix addiction, Fringe. My birthday is tomorrow and I can’t help but smile over how much life has changed. As I sit in reflection over the past 8 […]
While I’m sitting here trying to sing in one chord, Lalah Hathaway (daughter of Donnie Hathaway) has pulled out a grand seat for me! Check her out on this video HARMONIZING WITH HERSELF! Some even argue that she is singing in a tri-chord method. The video in its entirety, is amazingly creative, especially the part […]
This was a note that I wrote to myself yesterday before church. As I lay in bed scrolling through my social media feeds, I noticed that Facebook created a Gay Pride app that allows users to put a rainbow over any selected picture. This was a beautiful gesture of support to the LGBTQ community. I […]
Last night, my dear friend and colleague held a screening for his film, The Trade, in Tribeca! Here’s a brief synopsis of the project and a few flicks that I snapped with other industry insiders! In case you don’t recognize me, I’m the shiny one! hahaha! THE TRADE offers a fully exposed view of the […]
