‘Marley’ is a powerful, must-see film. A life of personal freedom and peace via the music. “The stone that the builder refused will always be the head cornerstone.”
This weekend, I took the ladies of my family to see ‘Death of a Diva’ - a one-woman play starring Amanda ‘Diva’ Seales. Truly a Renaissance woman, Amanda portrayed the controversial roles of everyone who contributes to and is affected by the death of the diva: from the high-maintenance singer and misogynist rapper to the young girl who aspires to be a reality TV star.

We transform energy. Take the Negro spiritual for example. Rising from the depths of something as coldhearted as slavery, it inspired and encouraged and became the foundation that is the Blues; begetting Jazz and swing and Bebop, right up to Hip-Hop that links and stirs souls around the world. We transformed that energy. And so in the spirit of transformation, I make the notion that Black is in the eye of the beholder.
