A Taste Of Soul: We're More Than Catfish, Chicken and Cobbler...Aren't We?

I had the opportunity to attend the Taste of Soul yesterday and it was buzzing and beautiful!  With my 2-year old strapped to my chest, Kingston and I took in the sights, sounds and tantalizing aromas of the event.

The usual vendors were "in the house" but because I do not eat meat, I kept searching for that one lone tent for us Herbivore's.  You guessed it, there was none.

Thunder Soul at the Rave a Must See

Last weekend my family went to see THUNDER SOUL.  Presented by Jamie Foxx, this joyful movie follows the extraordinary alumni from Houston’s storied Kashmere High School Stage Band, who return home after 35 years to play a tribute concert for the 92-year-old “Prof,” their beloved band leader who broke the color barrier and transformed the school’s struggling jazz band into a world-class funk powerhouse in the early 1970s.

Ciclavia a celebration of our city; Historic 2011 route goes from South Los Angeles to OccupyLA

Ciclavia is a celebration of our city.

 

The Ciclavia in October 2011 marked an historic day in Los Angeles - the bike festival that turns Los Angeles ito a Giant Park Playgound - dipped its toe into our neighborhood.



They created a spur that took riders from center city at 7th and Hope (or thereabouts) to the African American Firefighter Museum on Alameda. Next time we must convince Ciclavia to get  a little bit closer now. Other areas - such as the San Fernando…
