Mother Morrison - Queen of the Pen

4E1BAE5F-A514-49EC-BA4B-475DA52E6C48
Some of you grieved hard for Nipsey, while  others held on to TuPac. Some of you were devastated by Aaliyah and Left Eye as there death still has you shell shock. But today I grieve for my mother, a literary god, a genius meets her end. Her name was Toni Morrison and in my despair she was always my frien...

Dear Dearest,

3A2B82A5-3E97-4BE2-B4C0-2C8364C56D9A
​August 5, 2019 Dear Dearest,  I am the survivor of a physically abusive relationship from my husband who I haven’t seen in 4 years. I was a coward and I exposed my children, who were 10 and 8 at the time to their father physically violating me, breaking my nose, damaging my vison among other things. I never ...

Dear Dearest,

August 4, 2019 Dear Dearest,   I have been with the same individual for 3 years. We started doing business together until we realized we had great chemistry. We had to immediately “x” the business relationship because it caused too much conflict with the new way that we looked at each other. We have even been disgraceful, f...

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...

Every Father Has A Message

91F0F3A0-B11D-4D37-B829-E4C51FDDCBD9
There is a message planted in every father. If you discover it, that will be his greatest gift to you. If you miss it, he will take it to the grave, in hopes that the spirit will see you through.  A real father is the sun of every child. But the sun sometimes misses a plant or two. The sun causes drought and doesn’t ever&nb...

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 ...

Wyandanch, the only school budget to fail out of 124 Districts

2AC62DE1-1BA5-414D-B9E9-8F2C7E2D253C
There is something seriously wrong when you have 124 districts on Long Island and only 1 school budget fails. There is something seriously wrong, when the community that has the greatest need has to decide on which teachers to cut and what extracurricular activity is too much. There is something seriously wrong with a 40% school tax hike;...

Black Wyandanch

837DBF93-F16A-4124-8A16-AF51E23BAA00
Change is local. I know that for certain and when Thomas and I decided to branch out to create local publications throughout the East Coast and eventually nationally, I caught so much resistance and flack from my own people. "You're not from here". "You’re gonna fail". No, I'm not from Wyandanch but Thomas is and I feel like we have final...
