This will be short (I think.) I’m not going to try to name check everyone who helped me get to this point, cause someone would be left off. What I will say, to both my ‘day ones’ (or whatever the kids are saying these days) and to the communities I’m here to represent: I’m one […]
Hope all had a good Father’s Day. Everyone doesn’t have good relationships with their fathers. Some don’t have any relationship. Some do but it’s really toxic. I have a great one. First of one of many good breaks I’ve caught in life, but probably the most important. So I’m running back the ending from ‘Call […]
Obama opens this doc by saying ‘Some people are attracted to the power that is part of being in the spotlight, others work best behind the scenes. Clarence Avant is the latter.’ Truer words never spoken, cause 99% of the audience of this Netflix doc will surely have never heard of this man… Like a […]

It’s a funny […]
I mean… This woman is my generation’s Michael. There’s no more debate. I’m old, that might not have been up for debate for a while. But this concert film closed the book on that. Michael, mixed with Tina Turner. I’m also the product of HBCU grads, my childhood had the Homecomings and the Bayou Classic […]
I was worried I was catching this exhibit at the end of its L.A. run, but as it turns out, it’s here til September 1st. For the L.A. folks, if you haven’t made it down to the Broad lately, I can’t recommend enough ‘Soul of a Nation’. The exhibit covers several decades of black art […]
In my zone to start the week. Things are in motion. Here’s some live Sammy to get you going. Enjoy!
RIP Nipsey Hussle. The kid is not of my generation but I knew who he was. I still feel very upset by his murder, like many of you. So nothing silly to start the week. Don’t know if you want to go in on the new ‘Twilight Zone’ yet? CBS All Access did us a […]
