Black twitter was set ablaze yesterday when the Singer/ Businesswoman Ciara posted a video about women who want to be wives. Her hashtag was #levelup. Almost immediately, the wanna be sociologists and psychologists were suggesting that she was just perpetuating the misgynoir about black women and marriage. Discussions about how preachers are always talking to…

A man lost in the woods
Justin Timberlake is releasing a new album. My younger me is more curious than my older me but not by much. See, when *NSYNC first came out, it was so extra to see 5 guys dancing in choreographed rhythm and just enjoying the tunes. I mean think most of the world had *NSYNC ‘s albums….
Earn it ( yeah right)
Pride goeth before the fall. This saying has never failed and will continue to plague every man, woman, child and business. There is this mentality has some people and corporations feeling they are too big to fail. This is when karma will usually drop them on their proverbial ass. Now, it doesn’t happen to everybody….
Romp on good fella
Late evening into this morning I saw this picture on my various timelines about the romper for him. At first I was like alright. If they are fine with a onesie, no big whoop. Hell, growing up in NYC, I have seen worse. But then I remember what time I live in. Here come the…
The Diss heard round the world
Exactly two days ago, lyricist extraordinaire Remy Ma basically bodied Onika “Nicki Minaj” Maraj. There was an undercurrent or subliminals jabs being thrown for a while but more recently the last two songs Nicki did features on.

Don’t leave us out 👀👀👀👀
I know I am getting old. There are things that my mind cannot truly wrap itself around these days. Celebrities unfortunately cannot do right or wrong without someone having a stick up their ass about it.

A job is a job and check is a check
Ms. Chrisette Michele. I read your open letter to basically black people about why you are singing at Trump’s inauguration. While I applaud your words, I think you may have forgotten that is what minorities always have to do. We are constantly building bridges whether we realize it or not. We have had to constantly…
Queen of the Queen City
Jameka Whitten is one of the most intelligent human beings I know. She is also extremely funny and will always be a Brooklynite no matter the fact she grew up down south. ( YEAH MEKA, I have told you this before). She has her own business but has always been a hustler. Jameka has always…
Side eyes and groans
This past weekend, Beyoncè released her album Lemonade. Now, I am a fan but I am not a member of the beyhive. Reasons being I really do not like to pit artists against each other. Too many artists speak to my inner dragon self to love someone more than someone else. It seems every time…
Out of the dark. Enter the Ninja
One of the more talented individuals I have had the opportunity to meet is Jason Rodriguez. I met Jason while working for LUSH Cosmetics and honestly LUSH was just a job for him.
