    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.

However, how do you feel about Amber Rose and Chris Browns face tatts that have been making rounds on the innanet? Follow me on Insta @AsAmericanAsSweetPotatoPie to cast your vote.
