Secrets behind the Front Door
It’s fun to look at the front door of houses and apartments as you drive in your car on a crisp, clear winter night, lights reflecting off the snow covered lawns. You critique the colorful and gaudy displays and admire big screens in the living rooms as you imagine what life is like for the people who live in these houses. But, what you often don’t see are the secrets.

Central Park: Secret Society
Manhattan is home to three of my jobs. Radio promotions, sales at a small magazine, and trying to cover red carpets keep me in NYC 6 days a week at odd hours. Navigating the roads from Rockland County to NYC and finding free parking has become my mission because I’m broke. Queen of Parking is what my colleagues call me.

N!@@as, B!tches, and H*s! Oh My!: Sharpton will march against Record Labels!
What would Hip-Hop be with out n!@@as, b!tches, and h*s. It would be fine. People would still love hip-hop, like I love hip-hop. Just yesterday I was dancing like Clyde Drexler, and singing like Sanjaya to It’s Me Snitches’s by Swizz Beatz. But, I digress. I am conflicted by this issue. As a black woman I should be offended by certain terms, but sometimes I am, and sometimes I am not. Do I get tired of seeing women’s derrieres in videos? Yes.

First Person Op-Ed #5: El Gant
Is 30 the new 20?
I guess I could start by saying I hope so…its a few years away now and it would be a nice consolation prize for the stress, drama, and excessive partying I endured throughout my 20s. Listening to the Jay Z record last week in between a barrage of music that is targeted towards a completely different audience made me think: is the record industry ignoring this demographic when it comes to hip-hop?
