In 1990, my mother took me to see Nelson Mandela, South African activist and humanitarian, speak at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Sitting amongst a sea people from all ethnic backgrounds, I was entranced by this legendary leader. He had an uncanny ability to connect with each and every individual and create an environment that empowered everyone there to take action for his cause. I felt as if he was speaking only to me! He shared his personal and professional experiences as an active participant…

For those not witnessing a "White Xmas", let me tell you live from St. Louis, let's trade places. The temp. is 25 degrees and I've just tossed salt on my sidewalks and steps leading up to my home. How much snow you ask, just enough to say it's a "White Xmas". The lawn is white and so are the bushes surrounding my house. Well it's Lakers time, must go. Anyone wishing to trade places let me know.

Fix Expo leader
Damien Goodmon keeps on fighting - this week in support of Cheviot Hills and Westwood.
He says just because at-grade crossings were forced upon the communities of color from Leimert Park to University Park doesn't mean that anyone should consider this the new standard to justify putting at-grade crossings in the more affluent and whiter areas closer to the beach.…

Since Leimert Park is L.A.'s mecca for artists of all kind, it has been chosen as the location of an invite-only spoken word showcase to occur in May 2010. I just wanted to put it out there that my partner and I need to secure a venue for this much anticipated event. We really don't know where to start but we're hoping to bring a few hundred patrons to your establishment. If you are a Leimert Park business owner, or know one, please, please let me know. We'd love to do business with you.
