Charlotte Royalty, Anthony Hamilton - Hot Sauce

CC1113D2-399C-42CC-B63D-FAF03EE1A713
I believe the ancestors would have been tickled pink to see us Black Folks, being treated like royalty, with elaborate table settings, and scrumptious fixings of cornbread, fish and collard greens. Gathering at Londa's Place, a castle that some would have never imagined one of us owning, we packed all hues of Black and Browns to...

Londa’s Grace

There are those that leave us star stuck, while others put on a good face. There are those that have big titles but this blog is about Londa’s Grace.

So you are saying, you are the victim Linda Fairstein?

E1EE95D7-C617-4CEA-8781-E72A786D125A
God has a way that’s mighty sweet and I always say you can’t persecute, hurt, oppress or victimize people without the universe taking its shot on you. Malcolm X eloquently coined it as, “the chickens coming home to roost”, while some say it’s the bitch of Karma. I like to use the Bible, and say vengeance is the Lord’s.  You see ...
