Late to the party, I recently completed the “50 Shades of Gray” Trilogy. And let’s just say I wasn’t scandalized. Then again, erotica is nothing new to me. In high school I read every Zane book there was and over the last year I’ve listened to all of Dan Savage’s sex advice podcasts. So no, not many things [...]

This summer, I decided to put my love of traveling and meeting new people to the test and go where I have never gone before… the Midwest! My first destination was Kansas City (which I quickly learned is partly in Missouri, not just Kansas State). My assignment? To find out about the Kansas City experience when it [...]

Over my dating history I have come to realize that I am not very romantic. At least not in the way most of the movies and TV shows I watch tell me I should be. Don’t get me wrong—I am thoughtful, especially when it comes to giving gifts or planning a date… but when it [...]

Last Thursday, ImageNation Cinema and the Film Society of Lincoln Center gave NYC the first East Coast look at award-winning film, Better Mus’ Come. Having played at Los Angeles’ Pan-African Film Festival just a few days before, it was only the second American screening of the movie, becoming known as the best film out of Jamaica [...]

Today is my first Valentine’s Day without any guy in my life—because, for the first time in my adult life, I am truly single. This may come as a shock to many people who know me and know that I haven’t been in a relationship in years, but truth be told there was always someone [...]
Ms Lauryn Hill is BACK! Apparently by force, saying: “Here is a link to a piece that I was ‘required’ to release immediately… in an ideal scenario, I would not have to rush the release of new music…” ->However as a LONG time fan, it feels good bumping to ”Neurotic Society!”
Iranian novelist Shahrnush Parsipur speaking at the Brooklyn Library. The sacrifices she made throughout her career got me thinking: What would I sacrifice for my art? Hear my thoughts here: http://youtu.be/YFfnM_-oKMQ
