I love to read, I really do. This is a digital essay for an African American studies class I'm taking this semester. My first attempt at such a thing, and I'm very excited! *Hoping for an "A"* =o)

Black People Don't Sing Opera
Oh heck yes they do! I'd like to introduce one of my most fabulous friends, Dei Nikoi. Not only does she have a bangin' blog, she also has a bona fide solo opera recital scheduled for this Saturday! Mucho proud of her, and I will be screaming my head off in a most uncouth way during the recital...because that's what I do.

I have anger issues.
I don’t know how else to say it.

But then a loved one approached me and threw me a curveball I certainly didn’t see coming-

"I Will Wait For You."
I found this amazing Spoken Word video through one of my all-time besties. Her blog puts mine to shame, check her out at WhileMyHeelsAreHigh!
This poem is some powerful, powerful stuff. Enjoy!
That’s My JAM!
Wanted to do something a little different. Have you ever met someone who has a song for EVERYTHING? Every one of my sisters has this habit, me included. Riding in the car with us can be super annoying unless you plan to join us in belting out our favorite tunes. Wanted to share some of the ones that take me in EVERY time. Enjoy!
