I met chef Gorbal on my last vacation where I spent a few days in Las Vegas with my family.
MORE The Buffet at Luxor had the best food I had tasted in a while and the Lava Chocolate Cake won my heart and my taste buds!
As a matter of fact it was because of this appealing dessert, which I frankly self-indulged in until my toes curled up, that I had the priviledge of meeting Chef Gorball.
You see, we had arrived a little early at the… Continue

I was chained to 'dis land, 'dis "Land of the free," by people with a God, who sho must can't see. But a change is a comin', Tho I won't no mo…
I would like to thank all the drummers at the Drum Circle for this Sunday's (March 21, 2010) performance. The Drummers played as if they had fire in their hands. They played relentlessly! While all the Dancers joined us as we gave praise. I gave God my sacrfice of praise offering through dance. Praising my Heavenly Father for keeping me strong through this time in my life. The audience was spectacular as they also joined celebrating…

Aaron Hamilton recently said what many others in the mostly African-American and solidly middle-class Leimert Park district of South Los Angeles think but won't say:
"It is almost taboo to speak out against black leaders even though
they may not be measuring up to the various tasks at hand," Hamilton
said. "To speak out against them is a sin. And that hesitance to be

Many observers have found Liz and Dick Cheney's fervent crusade to ensure that President Obama define terrorists as "enemy combatants," and the fight against terrorism as a…
The Sixth Avenue Neighborhood Watch in Leimert Park is the latest in a trend of community groups that are taking steps to keep the community safe — and also serving as emblems of the improved relations between
the residents of Leimert Park and the Los Angeles Police Department
(LAPD).
It wasn't always so. Back in 1965 the relationship between residents
of Leimert Park and LAPD was often hostile and adversarial.… Continue

I was told as a child Blacks had no worth, not a nickel’s worth of dimes. I believed that myth
til Dex rode in with his ax in double time.
His horn was soarin’, the changes flyin’, his rhythm right on time; my heart beat with the pleasure of new found pride, knowing, his blood flowed through…
Well, I guess Tavis is about to get a little taste of what it means to be held accountable. The article below also speaks to the issue of Tavis' ego. It discusses how he attempted to purchase the honor of having the communication school bear his name.
One would think that the naming of schools would be based on merit rather than…

It has been a while since I have been here. I haven't been updating much. Just thought I'd let you all know whats been going on. I took 9 months off to bring life into the world and I have about 25 days left. I'll be giving birth to my son Chancellor very shortly. It has been a rough pregnancy so I had to postpone my book tour that was scheduled to begin August 2009. I am currently in my scheduling process for a new tour and still writing away. I look forward…
