MAJOR SHOUTOUT To Broadway At The Hobby Center for inviting me to check out “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.” Even though I’m into theater, I didn’t know anything about this show. It’s less about plot and more about tech and special effects. The lighting and creative use of minimal props is […]

As successful as I am in my career field, I don’t have it all together (when it comes to my love life). I’ve been so frustrated with going on date after date after date, because none of them have lead to anything REAL. I prayed for Love and God ended up giving it to me; […]

Hip hop is making progress…and I am here for it! We have been the last ones to accept the LGBT community. For what reason? IDK! You would think that since Blacks are used to being judged, we wouldn’t judge others for who they are. Yet and still, alot of people do SMH! Congrats to Taylor […]

Even though Trump just became President, we’re making progress today…atleast in hip hop. iLoveMakonnen (who had that song ‘going up on a Tuesday’) announced that hes gay. It’s really no big deal, partly because he’s not an A list rapper. If it was Drake or Big Sean, everybody’s minds would be blown. But that’s neither […]

S/O to THE Orpha P. for showing me these mashups by William Singe and Alex Aiono. Boys is jammin! The instrumentation and vocals are perfect! I love watching different covers on youtube, but these guys have taken it up a notch. Watch them put their own spin on Drake’s “Fake Love” here:

I’ve been in over 25 stage productions, so when I saw that Broadway At The Hobby Center hooked me up with a shiny, new coffee mug from the hit musical Hamilton, I almost lost my mind! The show’s coming to the H next year; the day after my birthday: April 24- May 20. Here’s a […]

Chance the Rapper is one of my fav young rappers out right now. I’m glad he finally made it to the mainstream world. He was under the radar for years, but now a lot of people are starting to recognize how great he is. GET IT? Lol Chancellor shot his new video “How Great” with […]

I fell out of love with Kelly Price ever since I saw her on TV One’s “R&B Divas LA” bragging about how BOOKED she was. SMH That will forever be one of the biggest jokes on reality television. On the show, she threatened to leave a group project because she supposedly could be spending her […]

Real music is not dead. I listen to a lot of different genres of music. James Bay’s “Let It Go” is one of my new favorite songs. This British artist sings with so much passion. The music video ain’t all that, but the song is EVERYTHING! Check it out:

Kehlani’s “Do U Dirty” is jammin, but I’m still waiting for her to speak on that Kyrie/PND situation (through her music). Real life experiences make for bomb ass songs. I’m crossing my fingers that there’s a spot on her debut album that details that situation. SWEETSEXYSAVAGE is available on January 27th, so we’ll just have […]

Cool Runnings is def one of the top spots to hit in Houston. GT Mayne was the one who put me on. Since he’s the king of the islands, I knew his taste in Jamaican food wouldn’t lead me down the wrong road. If you’ve never tried a meal from there, you are missing out. […]

It’s dope to see black actors recite monologues from classic plays. More often than none, African-American’s didn’t get chosen for roles like Lady Macbeth whenever I would see it done in high school. I feel as though our community strays away from theater, because we are not well-represented on stage. We are at a pivotal […]
