Thank God For the Weekend! I just want to share something that blessed me this week, give a shout out and share some local Brooklyn community resources. Shout Out to O kayAfrica , the largest US-based website focusing on new and progressive music, art, politics, and culture from the African Continent , for hosting the coolest outdoor event 'Mzansi Heat & Naija Beats' on Thursday.  ---Well maybe Dave Chapell still holds the title with his block party but I wasn’t there. First of all before I got to the event I was able to view the live stream performance by students of Eagle Academy. Once I did arrive guides gave optional directions depending whether to sit or stand. Then there was quick but understandable security check before entry to the great space.  It was such a large and beautiful spot. Best lighting and decor esthetic ever seriously. The changing of colors, and string of lights hanging was so nice. There was great sound. Not too loud not too low. It was just...

Happy Thursday!  Here are a few things you should know about that you can take action on this month: Did you know that Black Giving Day is August 28th? Check out Young Black and Giving Back Institute  all year long for inspiration on this topic.  Major shout out to  Founder and Executive Director, Ebonie Johnson Cooper and partners for engaging us in funding the  magic in our communities.  Everyone is welcome to join ThresholdWorld at Rapha Center located at 78 Saratoga Avenue Brooklyn, NY for Black Giving Day on Tuesday, August 28th 7:00pm-9:00pm. $28 contributions are being asked from each attendee as we remember historic events of August 28th.

Happy August 1, 2018! Yes, I had a plan. I'm on an instagram and facebook vacation. Less social media and more writing on purpose. I feel that many times the black community is usually the last to know what's happening in our communities. So I started sharing posts on my instagram and sometimes to my facebook but a larger medium was needed. So I'm back on the blog with purpose. Writing makes me happy. I got a degree in this too!- 'With all rights, privileges, thereunto and appertaining' lol. But if my subject and verb don't agree you can say so. I'm still gonna write gonna though and get better as I do. Feedback is better than fatback! I feel that this is what is right and what I'm supposed to do. While this medium is for the beloved community to be inspired, most often I address from my own experiences of family, faith, historic events, organizations and music. All things that continue to make me the woman I am in t...
