Bet they can’t do it like me: NOPE.
P-Valley was out in these innanet streets causing a raucous - find out my thoughts on it. And, never forget - Peele brought y’all Get Out before you judge his newest offering, Nope. My thoughts on the energy the film was giving, Oscar-winner Daniel Kaluuya did not disappoint. S/o to Virtue Restaurant and its newest accolade.

Intro to the Poetry Series: poems from my book, As American as Sweet Potato Pie
Get your poetry aura together, pretend we’re at the spoken word joint and let’s vibe. This first piece is entitled, A Whole Woman. Too often I’ve seen people ppl bringing open wounds and battle scars into their next relationship instead of reflecting, meditating and taking their time to heal. So instead of bringing broken pieces of self into this, bring me a whole woman 😉 This is also a nod to our Chicago slang: a WHOLE woman. Check it out.

Back to the Future
I'm talkin about the future loss of jobs cause, robots. Thanks Skynet AKA Amazon! Presidential-hopeful, Yang got me in my fefes. We experienced a lot of losses on Game of Thrones, including Bri's virginity & how I felt busting open a plant-based burger for the first time.

Quick & Dirty Thursday -Game of Thrones w/Joey Greco; Domo Wilson & the movie, Little
GOT always got some hot shade, I point out my fave couple of lines from the most current episode. YouTube sensation Domo Wilson made the bisexual anthem that no one needed. Also, did one joke spoil the whole movie? My thoughts on Little.
