Dear Straight Women, We Want You, We Don't Need You.

Miss Lawrence, Bevy Smith and Derek J.  Gay men and straight women. The relationship that we have can be at times an odd dance. One minute, we're the best of friends. Always there for each other. With ice cream and wine in hand. Ready to watch Waiting to Exhale, Begin Mary Jane or Will and Grace at a moment's notice. To her, we're the gay bff she's always wanted and needed. To us, she's the mother/sister friend that we can go to the club with and talk about boys with. For a moment. It's a perfect fit. Then suddenly something starts to shift. I don't know what exactly happens but the person that we thought of as a friend. Either they start to change or we change. Either way, things are never the same.  It's hurtful, it's anger inducing and it's sad for everyone involved. At the start of the friendship. It was cool to gossip and "spill the tea" with each other while watching housewives or just chilling with one another. Then

You're not "WOKE" You're WEAK: Yes,"conscious/woke" community I'm talking to you!

Start a revolution. Stay Woke. That saying has been said and invoked more times than I care to count. Hell, I've said it myself. Let's be honest, the intention is good, great even. Wake up to what's going on around you and within your communities and if you can. Try to do something about it. Find out about your history and culture. All good things right? Of course they are. We should all find out about who we are and where we come from regardless of racial background. Along with trying to change the world we live in. Because let's be real for a minute, this world if we allow it to. Can and will chew you up and spit you out. Which is why we should stay woke.  However, I really need some people who proclaim that they're woke to shut what they call the fuck up. Why? Because many of these "woke" people are nothing but weak sheep masquerading as wolves. Which is quite frankly, sad and disgusting. Just because you've watched Roots (Roots was and

Dear "Psychic Medium" Reality Show Producers, Stop it. Just...Stop it!

Monica The Medium, Kim Russo, Psychic Tia, The Long Island Medium and Tyler Henry.  Reality TV. Let's face whether we love it or hate it. It's here to stay. Hell, I can't say anything. I watch quite a few of them. Such as Braxton Family Values, Rupaul's Drag Race and Iylana Fix My Life . They are entertaining.. to a point. Recently, I've cut back on them. Simply because they were, what's the words.. I'm trying to find. Oh, draining and full of shit. Which brings me to our main subject. The ever popular psychic medium shows. There's a slew of them. We have Monica The Medium, The Long Island Medium, The Angel Lady, Kim Russo  and of course last but never least,  Everyone's favorite blonde boyfriend, The Hollywood Medium . Now, before I go on. Let me say that, this is not I repeat not about them. As I know none of these hoes personally. Even though that are all invited to come to my home for hot tea, biscuits and truth. It's not the

Phaedra Parks and Porsha Williams: Two Sides Of The Same Coin.

Phaedra Parks and Porsha Williams. Reality TV is a strange, addictive animal. Much like the talk-shows of the 90's and the early 2000's. I know that I was not the only one who ran home to watch Ricki Lake, Jenny Jones and Jerry Springer. Let's face it, for those of us who watch reality television. It's a means of entertainment but it's also a means of escape. Many of us, myself included will watch a show and after the show is over. Whether subconsciously or not will go. "Thank gods that's not me." Or some of us will use the time to look at the situations that are played out on television. To look at ourselves. Hence, why I am writing this post. Tonight, like most. I watched the RHOA (Real Housewives of Atlanta) reunion. In tonight's final installment. The truth came out regarding cast member Phaedra Parks. By now, we all know that she lied. Beyond all that, let's think for a minute. In life, how many of us have been a Phaedra? Hands?
