Basquiat & Khalo
I love ART. I miss going to the MET. I can’t tell the last time I went into NYC just to walk around and look in awe at all the amazing art work. I am overdue for a visit. I must note: viewing artwork is therapeutic. I believe art allows one to escape the ugly […]

I didn’t watch the BET awards. I can’t tell the last award show I’ve watched from beginning to end-however-I’m a highlight watcher.

I grew up listening to older Jamaican adults encouraging my sister and I to learn how to cook. “One day, you’ll make a good wife and you will keep your husband happy”. “No one will want to marry you if you can’t cook”, they would say as we dutifully observed and then tried to imitate […]
