Read more "The Popping of Pink: Back to Reality"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. As a lover of all things pop culture-it doesn’t take much to keep abreast with pop culture through the use of Twitter and other social media platforms. Everyone was talking about Tyler Perry’s […]
Read more "“Help Someone Cross”-Tyler Perry"Words come way before they are written. I dream them. I’ve always dreamed in words, phrases, sentences and whole paragraphs.
