Stopping thru to say HI to all my Essence supporters; to all of those whom I've met down in New Orleans, in Texas, and from across the globe. Thank you so much for your sincerity and support. I knew it wouldn't be an easy road, but thanks to hard work, discipline and a little faith my dreams have come true. My 3 dozen books have begun to saturate book stores throughout the world. I am blessed with success, and grateful to all. Love ya. Word.

I am reading a non-fiction novel titled Ghetto Passport,written be Michael A. McKenzie. The title of the book my fool you into thinking it is not a deep book. However, I have been enjoying reading about his experiences growing up in the inner city of Baton Rouge, LA. Also, his insights on African American struggles and the politics that go along with being Black in American. I find myself laughing out loud, tearing up, and actually visualizing some of the experiences in this book. Go Get it ASAP!
