   Somewhere back in the late 80's, Joan Rivers hosted a daytime TV talk show where the subject was about how ordinary people where thrust into life altering situations that affected the entire nation.  One of the guests on the show was Rosa Parks.  I had the privilege of escorting Ms. Parks to the show, and doing a post interview with both Ms. Parks and Joan Rivers.  The "little act of sitting down" according to Rivers changed for ever the entire landscape of the Civil R

            Everyone knows the popular image of a man is to be tall, dark and handsome.  In America we also love “big.”  It is nearly a certainty that the tall man will be the first man of our nation.  But that’s only one side of the coin.  Today, I’m thinking about the negative stereotypes laid upon the shoulders of big people.  I’m a big person so I speak from experience. 

            We are always at fault.  If we get hit over the head with a bottle by a small person we s

Father's Day? You Picked Him!

By La Vonda R. Staples ~

   Sisters and brothers I would have been so very wrong if I had kept these things to myself.  I couldn't hold it.  I believe that I was brought through, by God, so that I may be a witness to you.  Listen.  Don't listen.  The choice is up to you.  After all, these are only the notes from nobody.

Here we go, I didn't want to reveal this part of my autobiography - gotta save something for the paying customers but the spirit has done tole me that it is now time to reveal.  My

MarKeese Warner was told by Six Flags that her locks are "unprofessional."

It's full of wonderful, creative work from time honored and new artists – local and national. Interestingly enough, with June also being Black Music Month and Caribbean Heritage Month, there is a cross section of cultures converging on this tiny, yet highly signficant little part in Bed-Stuy – on Fulton between Lewis and Marcus Garvey Boulevards.

In last week’s column I wrote about how the NAACP has lost its mind with its resolution supporting gay marriage.  I have very little faith or confidence in most of the traditional Black institutions—NABJ, churches, fraternities, sororities, HBCUs, etc.

But after attending a lunch this past Wednesday, my faith and confidence is a tad bit stronger.  It was though I was taken back in time to a better time and place within the Black community; and after the luncheon

As I live saith the Lord God, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds, fed themselves, and fed not my flock. (Ezekiel 34:8)
Warning to Leaders, Pastors who fail to lead God's people in the right manner and fail to take care of His sheep.
