Appliances!
Folks, I have a ton of brand loyalty to Sears and Kenmore Appliances because I grew up with their great, (digital) appliances and credit the intelligent choices my Mom aka “Ms. Freedom” made for our family. As you may know, I’ll be debuting my next play entitled, “She Put a Hammer in My Hand, a story about women and home improvement,” which is a tribute to her and a tool kit for all of us.
Thus, I’m delighted to be flying on over to Chicago for the Kenmore Bloggers Summit and there’s a great opportunity for you to win some great prizes, particularly a Sears Gift Card of $100, $50 and $25. *SQUEAL*
I don’t know about you but I could use that. In fact, I got a little teary-eyed just thinking about the possibilities…

Planking
Planking
I love planking.
It may also be the devil.
In an amazing feat, planking has caused a gigantic rumor mill to spin a tale of its supposed origins in slavery and/or the narrative that it is “a racist term”. Nothing can be more ridiculous; but the retweeting of slave ships with folks asking, “still think it’s funny?”continues, unabated, on Twitter and Facebook.
Um, yes. I do. For the most part, planking is silly and funny and so many other things. Article forthcoming…
But last night, the strangest thing happened when I saw ongoing tweets from “Poprah” (of Work for Diddy 1 & 2 fame) repeatedly requesting that the Black press, in particular, “tell the truth” and “the whole story” about the slave origins of planking.
I was tired of...

Happy Birthday, August Wilson!
Folks, it’s one of my favorite playwrights (and family members’) birthday!
Now, truth be told, I always missed August Wilson’s birthday because, like the names April, June and May, I always thought he was born in August, hence his name, so every August I was looking to say “Happy Birthday” and was late every time. Every. Time. SMH.
There’s so much to say about August Wilson and his work but I’m not trying to mourn today, I want to celebrate! So, I’ll start off my saying Thank You to Medgar Evers College for focusing upon the works of August Wilson at their Annual Black Writers’ Conference.
